Chapter 2

James Who?




"James Extinction has awoken," Mother Nature declared.


"I'm sorry, who?" Katie asked. We all nodded, except Hunter, who sighed.


"You lot know nothing. James Extinction is a malignant* man, who wipes out whole races of species. 669 years ago, he tried to wipe out the humans. Do you remember the black plague? That was his doing. We put him in a long sleep; a hibernation of sorts. It seems he has woken..." Hunter concluded.


"Ooooooh, that guy," Katie realised. I frowned again,


"I thought I froze that douche in ice, in the middle of a glacier?" I asked, confused. "That glacier was in the middle of nowhere, how on Earth could he escape?" I murmured, deep in thought. That glacier shouldn't melt for another 563 years... Reaching out with my subconscious, I check out the glacier. A hole was melted into the ice, right down to where James had been frozen. That's odd, no spirits should have the power to melt my ice, and humans can't see us. The only one powerful enough to melt my ice is... I stop my train of thoughts. That can't be right, I'm just imagining it.


But a little seed of doubt had been planted, and it would grow.


"...vessel was fleas, carried by the rats, and then transferred onto humans. I haven't noticed anything different in my season... how about you guys?" I finally zone in on what Hunter is saying.


"Yeah, I've noticed something. Winter is gettering shorter each year, and warmer. I can't make it snow in a lot of places; only heavy rains and a slight frost at night." I reply. "Katie, you control summer and heat, what's going on?"


Katie puts her hands up in surrender,


"Hey! It's not all ma fault! It's the bloody humans and their 'global warmin''" she makes quotation fingers at the end and rolls her eyes.


"Yeah, but you can make the summers cooler, can't you? Just don't do so much heat...?" Robin trails off as Katie glares at him.


"Guuuuys," Hunter groans, "you're all missing the point, we need to find Extinction!"


"Oh! Oh! I know! We split up and search the continents that are in our season!" Robin exclaims, ever bright.


"I guess I'll search Antarctica and the Arctic? Oh , and Europe. 'Cos it's too cold there for any of you guys..." I mumble, the others nod in agreement.


"I'll search Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand and the surrounding islands." Hunter decided. That's good, my winter continents are covered.


"I'll search the Americas!!!" Robin shouted. We all rolled our eyes,


"It hasn't been call tha' in ages, dummy." Katie mutters. "I guess that leaves me with Asia..."


We set off on our hunt for Extinction, thinking this would be easy. Just like 669 years ago.
