Just keep attacking until the bastard is dead, the MH games have a tutorial to give you the basics so don't worry. The weapon bar indicates weapon sharpness as you attack it changes colour telling you it's getting blunt, you deal with this by using a whet stone to sharpen it as sharper weapons deal more damage, haven't played the demo as we don't get it in Europe but I assume by you saying the other bar that you were using long swords (Katanas), they have a dark release ability which fills up as you attack when full you activate it and it boosts attack power and allows a continuous combo until the bar depletes.

yea, I was using long sword. this is a bitch for a level one monster. when the monster runs away does it heal?

In some cases yes but only if you don't find them quick enough as most will find a place to sleep to heal up so if he's sleeping when you catch him he would of healed up a bit but don't worry too much if you're having trouble as every MH fan you see was in the same situation you're in, trust me it's a long hard lesson for all of us, with the full game I'll just advise on spending time on it to hone your skill and you'll get there, can't comment on the demo but in the MH games numerous monsters make a break for it when they're getting thrashed so if he's running it means you're causing him problems. To deal with running monsters hit them with a paint ball so when they run they show up on your map, sometimes people track the creature down mainly bigger targets and wait for them to start sleeping then the attack.
