"Has anyone seen Colby" said Coach Rogers when he woke up
"No" said Coach Burrow "Just let it go. He's not coming back with your food"
"I'm hungry" said Coach Rogers 
"We all are" said Coach Burrow "Now hush"
All of the sudden Coach Burrows phone rings. He looks at Coach Rogers then picks up.
"Hello" 
"Look up at the sky. It is always cloudy in this swamp?"
"Who is this..." 
"In due time. Now don't hang up or you will end up like Lester."
"You did this..."
"Yes now pay attention. The saftey of your fellow passengers rest in your hand."
"What do you mean..."
"There is a creature here that is as fast as a cheetah yet as quiet as a mouse. This is a team effort that you and Richie can do."
Coach Burrow looked at Coach Rogers. Coach Rogers understood. He nodded his head and listened on.
"If you don't complete this task you will find out how much you really fear death. Now go the rose bush..."
The dial tone came on.
"Colby is in trouble" said Coach Rogers
"I say we let him die. See how he likes being scared" said Coach Burrow 
"Im serious" said Coach Rogers "He elected to go get food for us."
"You're right." said Coach Burrow "Lets go get him"
They left the bus behind and proceded to the swamp. Fifteen minutes later they came up to a thorn bush. They tried to go around it but it was no good. Finally they saw a shirt.
"Hey" said Coach Rogers "Wasn't Colby wearing that shirt."
"Yeah" said Coach Burrow "I would reconize that shirt anywhere"
"Ok so where is the rose bush" said Coach Rogers
"I'm starting to wonder if this is the rose bush" said Coach Burrow. He looked around and saw a single rose. "There, in the middle"
Coach Rogers saw what he was looking at.
"Is it worth going in there" said Coach Rogers "All thoes one inch thorns will hurt"
"Just trust me" said Coach Burrow
They started to push and chop their way though the thorn bush. Once inside of the thorn bush Coach Rogers phone rings.
"Good. You figured out the trick. My monster is afraid of that specific type of rose but will do anything to destroy it. You better protect it because the petals carry an antidote to a virus that is infecting the bus as we speak. Oh and about you friend. He fine."
"So this was a trap" said Coach Rogers
"Yes and no..."
"So how do we get out of this" said Coach Burrow
"I don't know" said Coach Rogers picking up the shirt "This shirt smells."
"Smell like the roses scent" said Coach Burrow " Richie you are a genius"
"I know" said Coach Rogers "What about."
"Just trust me" said Coach Burrow 
All of the sudden the monster reveals himself. It was about nine feet from head to tail, green eyes and green drool, and bright white teeth with five inch Canine teeth. It had decaying skin revealing the muscles and his internal organ. It was an erie sight because it in addition to seeing the heart you can also hear it as loud as day. It glared at Coach Burrow and Coach Rogers. Then it stood its two feet and roared. Coach Burrow glared back with the same look. The monster charged at the rose bush and started to slash it. Coach Rogers looked at Coach Burrow.
"If you have a plan then you need to do it now." said Coach Rogers
"Look" said Coach Burrow  Its tearing up the shirt"
He watched as the monsters skin turn black. Then it turned to burning ash. The monster stopped slashing and looked at his skin then looked at Coach Burrow. His smile turned the monsters anger in to rage. It charged at them with out shashing the bush. The one inch thorns tore into the skin and held it in place three inches from Coach Burrows face. Then Coach Burrow grabbed one of his canine teeth and ripped it out. Instantly blood spilled all over the monster. Then the monster melted and fizzed like acid was pored on him. Once the monster stopped moving Coach Burrow and Coach Rogers returned to the bus with the rose. On the way they met up with Coach Pate.
"What happened to you" said Coach Pate
"Alot" said Coach Rogers "You got the food"
"Don't be so hungry" said Coach Pate "or you will returned to the old you."
And they walked back to the bus not knowing what lies ahead of them.
