Derek and his friends moved stealthily through the area looking for any signs of Erica.
When Derek saw the news of a giant woman roaming around town he knew he could not pass up a chance to see her in person. Monster hunting had become a bit of an obsession for the high schooler lately and now here was the chance for him to hunt and document a monster of his own. Maybe they would make an episode about him. Hell. Maybe he would get his own monster tv show out of this.
These daydreams cycled through Derek's head as he sat huddled with the three other members of his party. His girlfriend, Claire, who he had convinced to come stating "she would be the star of the show". Besides Claire, Derek was also joined by his friend and teammate Ronnie and his girlfriend Betsy. Ronnie was just as obsessed with cryptid shows as Derek. While Betsy tagged along if only to make sure her boyfriend didn't do something stupid and get himself hurt. The intrepid band of amateur hunters walked along until they came to an abandoned park on the edge of the forest.
The group scoured the area where the last Erica sighting had been reported and it was littered with evidence of her presence. Several shrubs had been completely pulverized into the earth. Larger juvenile trees were ripped straight out of the ground roots and all as if in a rage. One bench was nothing but a pile of lumber left in a large crater. More of these deep craters could be found all around the park. As the group got closer they realized that they were looking at giant foot prints. Derek started snapping pictures and the two couples quickly starting taking joke poses. Claire and Betsy putting their whole shoes in individual toe holes while Ronnie lay in the larger hole in the center. The group paused to send of pictures to friends and post to various social media sights. Once that was taken care of they moved further into the forest following a trail of bent trees.
Derek had to admit under the dark canopy of tall trees he was starting to feel like one of the monster hunters in his shows. While the group walked in silence Derek started to think back to his father's family meeting about his size ray. Derek wondered could that have something to do with this mess. Derek's thoughts were interrupted as there was a loud crash heard just ahead of them. The four teens quickly run off the trail and onto a ridge and duck behind a fallen log. As the poke their heads up they can see a massive shape about half a football field in the distance. They know it can be nothing else but the giant woman they've been following, Erica. While to this point it had been all fun and games playing monster hunter the situation has just become much more real when they see...
