Chapter 30: Exploring the caves. Chiyo are you ok?

Racing past the students in a great rush.

Theo could see the peak they had to reach which wasn't too far ahead.

He loved how Seo-In hang on to him, and screamed at the top of her lungs when they went of path to try and avoid a que of students.

"Are you crazy! We're by the edge of the cliffs Theo!"

He paid her no mind especially when he saw Nico running along side him in unison.

T: Dude?! You're suppose to loose this match!

N: Theo, you forgot who I have on my back! This is the Alpha's girl, I can't let you win this match, he'd kill me for sure.

Nico ran faster, after speaking through his mindlink with Theo.

T: Nico wait!

"No, Theo catch up to him! I don't want to loose!" Seo-In cried in a worry.

"Why, are you scared that you'll have to sleep with me?"

"I'll punch your mountain if you do!"

Theo loved the notorious thought to bed her, but right now his beauty wanted to win and he wasn't going to let her down.

"Hang tight." He hoisted her up and picked up his pace.

Kavyaa was surprised to see that Nico was all in for this challenge.

She thought he wanted to get those two alone and let them win, but clearly that didn't seem to be the case.

The way he ran with her was quite powerful and she was amazed to see that he had great stamina.

"Nico, if you're tired we can slow down?"

"Slow down? (scoffs). Theo made a big mistake to challenge me."

But if they won, then Kavyaa wouldn't get to ask Nico anything about Alpha Roman she wished to know.

It bothered her greatly that a man she had never met before was interested in her!

Seeing as Nico was just about to approach the finishing point, Kavyaa secretly concentrated her powers towards the rocky grounds and managed to sprout out a root that suddenly caught on to Nico's foot.

It easily tripped him up, however Kavyaa went flying hard from his back.

Clearly she hadn't planned this out well.

Luckily for her she landed ontop of both Rui and Chiyo bringing them both down to the ground.

They stalled in their run as the new girl fell on them, causing a fit of laughter from the students jogging by.

"Ow! What the hell?!"

"Mia?" Chiyo dusted herself off helping her up.

"Sorry, we were having a race and we had a small accident." She nervously laughed.

Then Theo came zooming past them knocking Rui out the way.

They made it towards the peak and they both were glad.

"Ha! Yes! We won! Yeah!"

Theo whooped and hugged Seo-In who was quite estatic and happy. The rest of the students jogged on, not really caring if he did or not.

Kavyaa then approached a shocked looking Nico. He was confused to see a root vine still wrapped around his leg, from the ground.

"Nico, you ok?" Kavyaa asked quickly coming to his silent aid.

Nico's mind flashed towards his locked up friend, Cloud.

'It came out of nowhere Nico. I know it was her! She caused me to trip!'

"Did you do this?" Nico simply asked.

Kavyaa nervously played dumb, shaking her head at him.

"Dude, c'mon how could I possibly tangle your foot on a root vine like that?"

Her heart spiked, and Nico could clearly hear all her lies. This girl was no doubt trouble.

Damn this was a thick strong root vine, that had wrapped around his foot. It would take him less then a second to come out of this if he pulled his claws out.

However his strict orders were never to reveal himself to her.

Seeing the last set of joggers pass by, Kavyaa then pulled out her only secret weapon she kept on her.

Nico was stunned, when she cut him loose, with a rather sharp looking pocket knife, and freeing of him of the vine around his ankle.

"Mia, you shouldn't be carrying a pocket knife around like that." Nico said looking back at the sharp looking blade.

He went to grab it off her but this time Kavyaa refused to hand it over to him.

"Look, someone really important gave this to me, and I don't want to loose it."

"Mia you ca --"

She put it away in her back pocket and stood up stretching out her hand for him to help him up.

"Please Nico. Don't ask me to give this to you, you already took my tazzer which I would like back."

Nico scoffed and slapped her hand away, getting up himself.

"Not a chance." He turned on his heel, walking towards the gathering by the entrance of the cave.

"One of nature's truly awe-inspiring creations, caves and the unique rock formations inside them are not only breath-taking but are also natural recorders of climate. These underground chambers contain the secrets of Earth's climate in what you may know as stalactites, stalagmites, and other formations..." Mr Finlay started his lectures and some students began listening to him intently.

Other students were busy drawing some sketches on their work pads whilst others were shooting death glares at poor Seo-In who was stuck with being Theo's partner for the day.

Nico on the other hand decided to keep his distance from Mia.

She puzzled him greatly and he did not want to get too involved with her.

Mia on the other hand was caught on to some one's else conversation.

"I'm telling you, there's a secret door in this cave Chase!" Douglas aka Dougie said excitedly.

"Dougie, Storm Mountain, is nothing but a myth, you got to let it go."

But Doug was an adventure seeker, and ever since he found the map to Storm Mountain, an obsession had come over him.

"What's so special about Storm Mountain anyway?" Asked Mia coming towards their way.

"I'm glad you asked Mia."

"Dude, she's not going to believe you." Chase shook his head at him and walked away, after catching a strict look from Rui and Nico from afar.

.

.

.

R: So you and Mia huh?

Rui playfully nudged Nico who rolled his eyes.

N: Don't get the wrong idea, I was only take part in Theo's silly challenge.

R: That you lost, because you were being Theo's wing man. No I get it, look how happy he is with his lamb. I guess the Blood Moon is getting to him too.

Nico didn't care about Theo's romance with Seo-In who was awkwardly stuck with him, since he helped her get up the mountain. No, he had suspicions on his Alpha's girl.

N: Something isn't right about her.

R: Who Seo-In?

N: No. Mia.

R: What do you mean?

N: She tripped me up preventing me from winning.

Rui gave him a very puzzled look.

R: Nico, she was on your back like a damn koala. How could she have possibly tripped you up when you were running in great speed?

The two secret werewolves watched her from a distance talking to Douglas and Chase.

R: Oh that stupid punk. I've told him not to talk to her.

Rui was just about to approach them, but Nico held him back.

N: Relax, I think Chase knows to keep away from her.

They caught Chase staring them and he nervously gulped quickly walking away and leaving her alone with the fat nerd.

R: So what's up with her, you can't seem to be taking your eyes of her Nico.

Rui teased making Nico sigh since she puzzled him greatly.

N: I don't know, but I felt an odd energy. Plus she has...

Nico stopped talking when he realised, it would be a bad idea to tell Rui everything about her. If he knew she had a weapon on her right now, he'd no doubt try to get off her by force and report her to the Alpha, whom he was secretly trying to protect her from.

R: What? She has what Nico? Great boobs? [gasps] Oh my god, did you feel her boobs, no that's not possible, you must have felt her @ss though, right?

Rui teased making Nico shortly blush out and shake his head at him.

N: Never mind.

R: Hey c'mon i'm just kidding Nico!

Nico walked away as Chiyo approached Rui looking quite flustered on her face.

"Chiyo?"

Chiyo grabbed his hand and led him away out the cave without a word surprising Rui. For all day they had been arguing and fighting and trying to beat each other at almost everything but Chiyo was suddenly acting strange around Rui.

She pinned him firmly against the cave wall outside and looked intently, trying to control her beastly side that was flashing her wolfish eyes at him and lowly growling at him.

"Chiyo, woah ok, you're definitely not you're self. Do you want to hunt? Is that it?" Rui asked trying to figure out what was wrong with her and why her wolf was trying to surface out of her. He placed his hand towards her face and looked at her in a shocked way.

"Chiyo, you're burning up girl."

"I am?"

"Yeah you are." He said trying to give her some water from his water bottle, but Chiyo grabbed it and threw it out of his hands.

"Chiyo?" He shot her a frown, then went to pick it up, but Chiyo grabbed him and pinned him heavily against the wall, surprising him.

"What is wrong with you all of a sudden? Calm your self Chiyo." He said strictly as she glowed her eyes more intensely than usual.

But Chiyo, couldn't. She was feeling hungry and horny and all she could think about was

"Klaus." She grabbed his face and smashed her lips upon his.

Rui was stunned since he knew Chiyo was not the type of girl to do this, she had feelings for Klaus! Her eyes flashed yellow and he knew that the girl who was making out with him was not his best friend, but her inner wolf.

Rui pulled away trying to control her sudden lusty wolf.

"Chiyo, look at me." He said trying to snap her out of it by lightly shaking her, but Chiyo chuckled looking quite bashful at him. Was he trying to play hard to get?

"Oh, but I am, and I want you Klaus!" She sexy growled and kissed him in a very passionate way, making Rui suddenly horny himself.

They both weren't mates but this was not their fault. This was the doing effects caused by blood moon that was yet to rise in a couple of weeks. The wolf town would no doubt be going into a frenzy when the true heat struck. Rui kissed her back and his inner wolf was almost about to surface and give into the needs of the sudden horny she-wolf, but Rui managed to control his hard on.

"Enough!"

Rui had to push Chiyo off him harshly and she fell to the ground, snapping out of her sudden lustful nature.

Her eyes brimmed with tears as sudden realisation struck her.

"What am I doing outside?!"

"Your wolf got a hold of you." He reminded.

"Did..Did I do something to you?" She asked seeing his hair in a dishevel mess and catching her scent on him from a short distance.

"Yeah, you came on to me strongly thinking I was Klaus!"

Chiyo shook her head. She just sexually attacked her best friend thinking he was her crush?! Oh, how could she do that! Rui would be the last person on Earth whom she'd ever go to bed with.

"No, that's not possible, I've been taking the 'sleeping pill'"

The sleeping pill was a powerful pill to help sedate a werewolf's inner wolf during the approach of the blood moon. Infact, Cloud had been taking the pill too, but it looks like he's wolf refused to sleep if scented someone trying to sexually arouse him just now. Thankfully, Rui had his inner beast in control and felt him go asleep inside of him again.

"So have I, but it looks like your wolf may be immune to it Chiyo." Rui said thinking of that rare possibility.

Chiyo looked worriedly at Rui and started crying, quite afraid of her inner wolf. She'd been on edge and her hunger lust

"This isn't good Rui, I can't be like this! I can't..." She repeated as Rui placed a gentle kiss on her forehead trying to calm her down.

"Hey, It's ok." Rui carefully approached her and pulled her in his arms for a hug.

"No it's not. Last time this happened, I killed ended up killing a lamb."

Meanwhile Doug told a story of an old tale to Mia who was keen to know.

"Want to know why it's called Storm Mountain?"

.

.

.

The students set out, exploring the chambers of the caves.

Many were quite fascinated by the beautiful crystals that popped out of the corner and others were intrigued to find plants and herbs growing upon the walls.

Other students were busy, gossiping away and others explored away on their own. Some of the student council memebers had finally split up exploring on their own whilst others chased their love interests like Nabi and Theo.

Kavyaa on the other hand discreetly followed Chase and Douglas.

"Legend has it that a dragon lives here."

"Oh please."

"It's true and whoever finds the beastly animal can lead us to the land of riches!"

"Like El Dorardo?"

"That's what this map says." Chase grabbed the map looking at it. It happened to look like the same cave they were exploring with diffrent chambers. Still, this map didn't make any sense. This cave had no more than seven chambers and this old ancient looking brown one with a few holes in it appeared to have tweleve chambers showing.

Clearly, they were on the wrong mountain.

"Dude this map is way older than my granpa."

"Well, it belonged to my great, great, great, let's just call him my 14th great grandpa. His name was Caleb and guess what he's seen the dragon!"

"Really?" Chase said giving him a fake sarcastic reply.

Douglas ignored his uninterested friend and continued. Not knowing that the new girl was discreetly listening to him, keeping her distance from them.

"He used to work on a merchant ship, he'd been across the world over the seven seas with his great Captain Ricker. He had been in many battles with him on land and sea, especially with pirates. Anyways, their ship came by here once and they took sheleter in this cave to escape the wild heavy rains back then. Then one night he heard someone calling out to his crew, in their dreams."

"Sounds like a bad ghost story."

"That's what I thought, but each night, one by one, the crew members started dissapearing. He wrote down in his journal that they'd find the men burnt alive by a great beast who lived there and some where eaten out alive."

Chase shook his head, as Douglas continued.

"So? What did the dragon look like?" Chase asked out of curiosity.

"Not sure, but it was definitely a huge one like Drogon from GOT series." Douglas described with great excitement.

Chase laughed at his adventuresome friend, "Sure, sure, I bet we'll find dragon eggs before the end of our search."

"Who knows, what will find, but I'm pretty sure, this is the right cave."

"Dude, this map is old! It's showing us 12 chambers, this cave has only 7." Reminded handing his map back to Douglas.

"Even so, however this is the same mountain that he described in his journal. The one that is constantly covered in cloud cover and there is rain and lightning happening on it each night."

Kavyaa was quite intrigued by the story of Storm Mountain.

She didn't believe in mythical beings.

Definetly not a dragon, either.

However as she caught on to a strange light energy in the next chamber that the boys entered in.

The boys saw Samantha and their teacher making out.

Chase and Douglas were stunned and they quickly turned around to make their escape when suddenly two strong hands came over them and caught them out.

Samantha quickly escaped her science teacher that had lured her in alone. She was quite surprised that he kissed her out of the blue, when she came to ask him about the history of this cave, out of interest.

Finlay looked very pissed of at Chase and Douglas. He knew he'd been caught doing something quite out of the school rule book with an underaged student, however he cared not. For if these two squeeled they would nodoubt be dead, just like the other student last year.

No one dared messed with Mr Finlay, just like the student council members, he had quite a powerful authority in school too.

"Boys!"

"Yes sir." They both replied in unison.

Kavyaa quickly hid behind a big boulder before Finlay noticed her too.

That creep, she couldn't believe he was making out with a student!

"I told you not to venture into the last chamber! What are you doing here anyway?"

Finlay grabbed Douglas's map.

"Jjj..Just exploring the cave sir?"

Finlay raised a brow at Douglas.

"Tell me this is not another stupid map to the old island myth?"

"Nn..No."

"Then you won't mind me tearing it apart?" Finlay said quite eager to rip it apart.

"Please sir, it's an old family heirloom!" Douglas pleaded.

In the midst of a happy hour and a blood lust for his inner wolf, Finlay sighed.

"Douglas do you care about your grade or a stupid all map that is full of lies?"

"Grades sir, he cares about his grades, right Dougie?" Chase nudged him, trying to snap him out of his sudden silence. That map was special to him, and in order to keep his grades in check he replied back a low

"Yeah." Finlay smirked looking at his chubby size. He looked like a good meal, but cute timid Samantha was still in his mind.

The map fell to the ground and he yanked both boys out of the last chamber.

Kavyaa came out of her hiding spot, and sighed as she picked up the map for Douglas. She felt bad for him and decided to return it to him later.

Kavyaa was just about to leave the last chamber when suddenly she felt an odd energy behind the cave wall.

It was weird.

She neared the wall, and saw a tiny marble stone perhaps the size of her index finger sticking out. It looked like it was some kind of dark gem. Possibly a sapphire stone? When she went to touch it suddenly the wall moved and a little gap opened up, just enough for her to pass through.

She was amazed and suddenly took a look at Douglas's map.

She was shocked to see that she had stumbled upon a secret chamber, that was quite acurate on Douglas's map.

The map was for real?
