"And who is the first person that got to the top?" the captain asked.
The vice captain looked at both Megan and Bane, but none of them looked willing to come out.
The vice captain's eyes widened in disbelief as she saw Adrian step forward. He was a boy with messy white hair, he had cloudy, yet pale eyes, his well defined chin and well sculpted jawline gave him a defined look.
"congrats" the captain said, shaking adrian. "And for the rest of you, you're free to do whatever you want, but make sure you return back before sundown," the captain said, leaving.
They had all decided to go to the beach. They quickly took their bath and went to the dining hall, the door to the dining hall slowly opened and Sam walked in like a celebrity, smiling. On seeing him everybody laughed and at the same time clapped for him.
"You're coming to the beach, right?" Bane asked Malcon immediately after he finished his meal.
"Yeah" malcon replied.
"I will be waiting for you there" he said running off with the first set that had finished their breakfast "but don't keep me waiting" he shouted running off.
By the time Malcon was done with his meal everyone had already gone down to the beach.
Standing up he took his empty plate to the dish room, where he saw Emliy still washing the dishes. She was obviously angry, and expressed her anger to the pitiful plate she was washing. Malcon was not interested in consoling anyone. He dropped his plate beside the girl.
"If you don't mind" she said before Malcon could leave, " could you wait for me, let's go down to the beach together" she pleaded.
"I'll be in my room, if you're done call me" Malcon said leaving.
"thanks" he heard her mutter under her breath.
He walked up the stairs to the boys room but came to a halt, when he heard the vice captain laughing. He smiled at the thought of Lavander's face if he told him.
He lay down on his bed, waiting for Emily and that was when he noticed something. He had never seen the house this quiet, even at midnight, Sam's loud snore breaks the silence of the night.
After about ten minutes, he was sure Emliy was done with the dishes. He got up from his bed and changed into his swim suit. That was when he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror, and was surprised with how his body structure had changed in just one year, his abs were more visible.
"Malcon!" Emliy shouted.
On hearing his name Malcon quickly walked out of the room. But suddenly bumped into someone, he knew it was a girl as he could feel the softness of her chest on his. There was a loud thud as they both fell to the ground, and Malcon eyes interlocked with a deep sea blue eye, for a while they lay down staring at each other. Malcon could feel her warm breath on his face, he had never been this close to a girl, so close that their lips were only inches apart. Suddenly It looked like her consciousness had drifted back into her, as her eyes widened and she quickly stood up.
"I…am sorry" Megan said as her cheek slowly turned red.
Malcon was surprised on seeing the so-called emotionless girl blush. Looking at her once more, Malcon couldn't deny the fact that she was a beautiful girl. Her black long hair gleamed as though it was polished, her oval face well sculpted, her nose was small yet round, she had tiny red lips, and her cheeks bloomed like roses. Seeing her in a swimsuit made it impossible to look away, the swim suit hugged her body perfectly displaying the outline of her delicate body.
Malcon stood up from the floor dusting himself.
"Emily told me to call you…we're waiting downstairs," she stammered.
"Eden!" Emliy shouted
"What took you so long?" she asked on seeing Malcon and Megan. And without waiting for an answer she jugged outside and Megan ran after her.
In about twenty minutes they arrived at the beach.
"yeeeeee!" Emliy shouted, diving into the water.
Malcon walked over to bane who sat on the sand
"Where have you been?" he asked on seeing Malcon.
" I had to wait for Emily before coming out," Malcon replied.
"captain Wayne got a letter from the king" bane said " and i overheard him talking about the letter with the vice captain"
"What was the content of the letter?" Malcon asked.
"the king will visit in two days from now" bane replied.
"forget about the king… let's go and swim," Malcon said, dragging Bane to his feet.
After swimming, they played volleyball and went hunting. When they were done hunting, they created a fire and steamed all they had haunted and ate till their fill.
"We should get going," Clara said, remembering what the captain said. But some insisted that they finished the meat before going.
After eating the meat, they organized themself in a queue, and started their journey back to the house. It was almost sundown and they had to hurry.
"Did you see sam?"
"Did you see sam?"
"Did you see sam?"
"Did you see sam?"
The question kept on passing till it reached Malcon.
"no he answered".
Since nobody saw Sam they had to stop, while some boys went in search of him. Four minutes later they returned without Sam.
"Let's leave sam…it's almost sundown," a girl proposed.
"Were not leaving anyone behind" lavander snapped, and they went back to look for him.
****
Sam did not even know how he got lost, all he knew was that during the hunt, he lost contact with his friends. Since then he had been trying to locate the beach, but it looked like he was going deeper into the forest.
It was already sundown and he could barely see, so he decided to sit at a spot and wait for them to find him, but what visited him was a very large snake. On seeing the snake he took a few steps back but tripped on a stone and rolled down a hill like place.
By the time he stopped rolling he was sure he had lost the snake, but he felt so dizzy that he couldn't even stand up. Suddenly a huge shadow casted above him and when he looked up, his eyes interlocked with a blood red eye.
****
They went back to the beach in search of Sam, some said he may have slept there. But when they got to the beach they could not find Sam, it was almost sundown and they quickly went back to the others.
"We should go" one of the boys proposed. The island wasn't safe at night. demons and beast lurked the island once it's sundown. Nobody wanted to leave Sam behind, but they were short of options.
"Are you lost kid" came a cold voice, they turned around to where the voice came from' only to find two pairs of glowing red eyes staring at them from the dark.
****
It was already sundown and the kids were not back, The vice captain got concerned and went in search of them. It took her twenty minutes to locate them. Looking down from the tree she sat, she could see bodies of dead beasts littered on the floor, the kids looked tired as they had been fighting.
Her eyes widened in surprise as she saw a demon walk out from the forest clapping.
"You guys are seasoned warriors" it said, still smiling"take a look at the mess you've done".
The captain couldn't believe her ear. the demon could talk, she said to herself bewildered, she needed to execute the demon as fast as she could, demons that could talk were mostly strong.
But before she could jump down from the tree she saw a spark of lightning radiating from Bane's body.
This would be interesting, she said watching bane.
"that quite colorful" the demon said pointing at Bane "but you can't scare me with colors boy"
All the captain saw was a small lightning bolt, and when she looked up, she saw bane above the demon, his hand clenched into a fist.
The demon looked up and smiled on seeing bane, he quickly raised his hand up grabbing Bane's hand, a surge of lightning transmitted through his body as he held bans hand.
"That tickles" he said, smiling, and with great force threw Bane aside, letting him smash into tree.
Seeing how distracted the demon was, lavander quickly teleported at his back, mustering all his strength to his fist as he aimed to kill the demon with one punch. His eyes widened in surprise as his fist smashed into space, the demon was gone.
"That is quite cute," the demon said.
Lavander slightly moved his eye to see the demon face resting on his shoulder.
"I think I'll be killing you first boy" he said, opening his mouth aiming for his neck.
"You wish" lavander commented smiling, there was a sudden puff of black smoke and lavander was no longer there, but appeared behind the demon.
"You guys really have a lot of tricks," the demon said, frustrated, as he turned towards lavander.
Lavander looked past the demon and saw Bane. He was holding two pairs of lightning spears in his hand. as both their eyes interlocked bane nodded, somehow lavander understood what he wanted, and nodded back.
