"Luk" said Hunter as he was looking for Luke, he had not seen the guy all day, and it was almost like he was avoiding him, and if that was true, it meant that Hunter's suspicion of him telling Bruce about Nia was true.
"Ahh Hunter, good Morning" said Luk as he turned around and greeted Liam with a smile.
"Why are you so cheery??" asked Hunter as he was suspicious
"Well I got yesterday's night duty off" said Luk
"Hmm whatever you say" said Hunter as he still did not believe Luk
"So why have you been avoiding me??" asked Hunter as he went straight to the point.
"What do you mean??" asked Luk
"I have not been avoiding you" said Luk
"Oh is that so?? Then why was I not able to find you all day?" asked Hunter.
"Well because, I was probably busy" said Luk as he did not know where this was going.
"Okay then" said Hunter as he decided to go straight to the point.
"Then if you were not the one who told Bruce about Nia, then who did?" asked Hunter.
"Who is Nia?" asked Luk
"The witch who had a fight with Selene" said Hunter as that was the name that most people knew her by now.
"Ahh that girl" said Luk as he remembered.
"Well then what about her?" asked Luk
"Well some blabber mouth, went running to Bruce that I was chasing her" said Hunter as he sighed.
"Ooof and were you?" asked Luk as he just wanted to be sure.
"No of course not, we are just friends" said Hunter and as soon as he said that Luk started laughing.
"What is so funny??" asked Hunter as he did not get why Luk was laughing all of a sudden.
"What you just said" said Luk as he laughed.
"You of all people, are friends with a witch??" said Luk as he still laughed, Hunter was stupid if he thought that he believed this nonsense story of his.
"Yes, what is wrong with that??" said Hunter
"And why can't I be friends with a witch?" asked Hunter.
"Hunter, stop fooling yourself, and stop fooling me, if there is someone you could trick, it's not me" said Luk as he stopped laughing.
"Now can you tell be the actual reason you are befriending that witch?" asked Luk
"Because, let's face it, you have a crazy plan, and you want to use that girl to fulfill your plan" said Luk plainly.
"Luk you can believe whatever you want to" said Hunter as he did not reveal anything.
"Anyway my reason for coming here is because Bruce told me to call you, he is waiting for you" said Hunter
"Well then if that is the case, I will be going now" said Luk
"See you later, and do not do anything stupid" said Luk as he walked away and warned Hunter.
"Yeah yeah" said Hunter as he looked annoyed.
As soon as Luk left, Hunter started thinking, he knew who could have blabbered to Bruce about him.
"Willis" he said as he scoffed.
Meanwhile in Nia's room.
Nia had finally gotten back from the tedious cleaning that she had to do for Selene's room, she was sure that if this was the way she was going to have to be cleaning everyday, she would soon cut her life short.
She was about to lay down and try to go to sleep, when she realized that she had not eaten all day, she sighed and decided that it would be best for her to go and eat, before she gave Selene the sweet satisfaction of seeing her sick.
Nia went out her door, and she was on her way to the cafeteria, the sun was shining very brightly, and the camp was full of witches, it was day time, and the witches were doing all sorts of things, some talking (more like gossiping), while some were casting spells, or some were just hanging around.
Nia saw that the witches mostly hanged out together in groups, and she noticed that she was not in any of the groups, not that she even cared about it though, she just realized that she was more or less always alone, and she could not complain.
Nia was walking, while deep in her thoughts, until she heard her name being called, which snapped her out of her reflections.
"Nia" called a familiar voice that she wanted absolutely nothing to do with.
...
"Bruce you called for me?" asked Luk as he saw Bruce was talking to another rogue.
"Luk what do you mean?" asked Bruce as he looked confused.
"What do you mean by what do I mean?" asked Luk
"You called for me" said Luk
"I never called for you" said Bruce as he was wondering what this was all about.
"Oh you did not?" asked Luk as he seemed to realize some foul play.
"Yes I did not" said Bruce
"That sneaky..." said Luk as he cursed Hunter under his breath.
So that stupid, silly rogue decided to end their conversation by lying to him, and telling him that Bruce was looking for him, when he clearly was not, Luk was angry that he wasted his time coming all the way over here for no reason at all.
"Why did you think that I was calling you?" asked Bruce as he wanted to know what was going on.
"Well our beloved Brother Hunter, easily played a trick on me, and told me that you were calling me, when you were not" said Luk as he sighed and shook his head.
"That boy has been very annoying lately" said Bruce as he remembered the fight he and Hunter had last night.
"Tell me about it, he is worse than a bug" said Luk
"And the way he looks so angry at all times, he really needs to be brought back down to the witch realm" said Luk as he was annoyed.
"Don't worry about it Luk, I already did that last night" said Bruce
"Common Sense should be popping into his head right about now" said Bruce.
"Oooh what did you do to him?" asked Luk as he knew that Bruce meant something deeper than what he said.
"Nothing much, just gave him some common sense, and a punch, and also threatened to send him back home if he misbehaved" said Bruce casually.
"Oh you are mean, no wonder you are so calm and relaxed, that should do the trick" said Luk as he laughed, he could just imagine Hunter's face when Bruce threatened to send him back home, all of them knew that out of all of them, Hunter was the one who did not want to go back.
And who was to blame him, they were more or less at war with the other vampires since they were rogues, who believed that they should rule all the realms, but the King of the vampires decided to make alliances with the other realms rather than take over.
"I had to do it, he was getting too out of hand, and he even topped it off, with the witch girl he's chasing, because I am sure that he has a plan" said Bruce as he sighed, he felt like he was babysitting a little one.
"I know right" said Luk as he also knew that Hunter was planning something, they did not know what it was, but they were sure that it had something to do with Selene.
"Anyway we can rest assured that he will not try anything for some time" said Bruce as he knew Hunter could never stay out of trouble.
"I hope you are right Bruce, I truly do" said Luk
Meanwhile back in the camp.
"Nia"
Nia heard her name being called by someone she wanted to avoid at all costs.
"Nia" heard Nia as her name was being called again, by the same person.
This time Nia quickened her pace, but she tried not to make is obvious.
"Nia" said the person who was calling her as he just immediately appeared in front of her, which startled her.
"Ahh" said Nia as she jumped back in fright.
"Nia, sorry, you didn't hear me calling you?" asked Hunter as he looked at Nia.
"Umm yes, I didn't hear you calling me" said Nia as she lied and quickly composed herself.
She did not want to meet this guy again, she did not know why she even she agreed to their friendship in the first place, she was sure that it was only in the spur of the night, and them being alone, that made her agree.
"Ahh I see, for a moment there it looked like you were avoiding me" said Hunter as he laughed and looked at Nia.
"Haha no no, why would I do that??" asked Nia as she laughed awkwardly and she looked away from his eyes, the way he looked at her was just always intense, that she always felt uncomfortable.
And now she felt even more uncomfortable, as she could see all the stares that both she and Hunter were getting from everyone, she was sure that this would be gossip by tomorrow.
"So how are you??" asked Hunter
"Ahhh, I am good" said Nia as this was the first time someone had asked how she was.
"How are you?" asked Nia out of politness.
"I am great, now that I get to see you" said Hunter with a smile, and Nia cleared her throat and looked away, he sounded so cheesy it made her feel some way.
"Umm, can we please go somewhere else?" asked Nia as she spoke up.
"Why?? is something wrong?? do you feel uncomfortable?" asked Hunter.
"No... not exactly" said Nia as she lied
"It's just that, I haven't eaten all day, and I was just on my way to the cafeteria" said Nia as she made up an excuse to get out of the public's eye."
"Oh I see" said Hunter as he felt bad.
"I am sorry if I disturbed you" said Hunter as he looked down.
"Ahh No no, it's not your fault, I don't mind at all" said Nia
"Thank you" said Hunter as he smiled.
"Well let me leave you to go to the cafeteria" said Hunter
"Ahh okay?? You don't want to go with me??" asked Nia as she instantly regretted what she said, she made it seem like she actually wanted him to go with her.
"No it's not that, but I have something to deal with right now" said Hunter.
"Oh okay" said Nia
"Yes, so I will see you later" said Hunter as he smiled once again.
"See you" said Nia as he walked away.
Leaving Nia to scold herself internally for asking such a stupid question, and giving him the wrong idea, about their friendship.
