Chapter 31: Get inside the tent.

Curious to see what was inside the new chamber, Kavyaa bravely ventured in alone.

She was astonished to see, more beautiful crystals and stalactites hanging from the ceiling in a brilliant pink and green colour. She followed the map closely leading to more secret chambers, one after the with the beauty of the chambers intensifying each time with different shades of blue and red.

Suddenly, Kavyaa felt a strange, disturbing energy pounding away.

She placed her palm upon the cave wall and gasped sharply.

A terrible force that told her to keep away.

Don't open the next chamber or she might regret it.

However, curiosity got to her again.

Besides.

There were no signs of gold, or any dragons yet.

Keeping her fear in lock, Kavyaa found the secret gemstone hidden very discreetly in the cave walls and pushed it.

Instead of seeing beautiful crystals, or stalactites, Kavyaa was in for a shock, when she saw bodies of old skeletons laying on the floor. Some still had their centuray old clothes on, other seemed to have clothes dating back to the seventies.

This place was for real?!

A cold wind blew past her as Kavyaa steadily followed the trail of bones.

Her eyes soon fell upon, long chains of silver metal shackles.

There was no dragon in sight.

However, there was a person sleeping upon a rock bed.

As Kavyaa drew closer to the sleeping person, she took in his very old, decaying features. It was a figure of a male, with very long white hair. Yet at the same time, she could still feel a little life force coming from it.

How was this even possible?

By the look of the corpse and the way it was dressed, it looked ancient and decaying. There was a sword slashed deep into the chest of the corpse!

Seeing no dragons about.

Kavyaa went to get hold of the sword, and just as she inched a little bit out of it's chest. The ancient looking corpse man, struck open eyes, glowing fiercely at green at Kavyaa. It grabbed Kavyaa weakly with it's old skeleton like hands and Kavyaa took in a great deal of air.

"A female?" It suddenly croaked, in it's dry croaky voice.

Kavyaa screamed out freaked out and a little surge of electricity went through her, before the deadly corpse passed out.

Not wanting to stick around, Kavyaa screamed out of the chambers and ran all the way back with wild chills running down her spine.

Whatever she found back there, nodoubt reminded her strongly of Kane, no matter how weak or ancient looking it was.

There was no way, she'd ever come back to this place!

Nico came running to the sound of her voice and found Kavyaa staring back at cave wall.

"Mia?"

Kavyaa yelped seeing him.

"What's wrong, is everything ok?"

"Yeah..I umm.."

I saw a freaking corpse restrained with shackles and dead bodies on the floor!

No one is going to believe you crazy! Her more sane side shouted.

"I saw a sp..spider." She quickly got out of the chamber with Nico looking back at the chamber, seeing no spider in sight.

He shrugged his shoulders and joined her back with the rest of the students.

After hours of exploring the cave and doing their research,

Mr Finlay had come back to take the students down the mountain for dinner.

Unfortunately for him due to some annoying student council brats that needed immediate attention, his real dinner plans for Samantha had died down, thanks to his pill.

Kavyaa on the other hand returned Douglas's map back to him.

"How did you?"

"Shh, just hide it before Mr Finlay catches you with it again." She shoved it back to him.

Douglas was really happy and was just about to hug Kavyaa for retrieving his priceless map, however Chase stopped him.

"Dude, what are you doing?"

"Giving her my thanks?"

"Well don't."

"Why not?"

"Because the student council guys are watching us like hawks. Incase you haven't noticed, Mia isn't allowed to hang out with any of the guys in school."

Chase explained more about dragging him away from approaching her.

After dinner that consisted of sandwiches, juices and pot noodle, Mr Finlay returned home after dropping Rui and Chiyo to catch the last ferry of the evening.

He'd left Miss Sora Mindy the dorky history teacher in charge to take care of the students. She'd done an excellent job teaching the kids about the caves unlike Mr Finlay who'd given the gives a brief explanation about the caves. No, he let them explore the caves freely not strictly keeping an eye on them.

Upon his arrival, he briefly glanced towards the shy looking girl who'd come searching for him on her own accord. She was his perfect prey until fat Douglas showed up with his damn treasure map.

Storm Mountain? That mountain was nothing but a big fat myth to lure tourists to this place. In the caves, nobody found any treasure or evidence that a beast lurked. If it was, Mr Finlay would no doubt picked up on it's aura. But he'd been here plenty of time and he'd never sensed anything out the ordinary.

Unlike the new girl, who did. But lucky for her, Mr Finlay wasn't too curious about her. No he had already marked his prey. His sweet, shy, quiet and clever girl Samantha. She was his perfect prey since she was an orphan girl who'd won a scholarship at this school. For the sake of satisfying the bloodlust of his inner beast, he planned to kill her. She was an easy kill, since no one would come looking for her. Yet he couldn't attack her just yet. Not whilst she was surrounded with her flock of lambs.

But thankfully, he's beast was in control due to the pill he'd taken. Unfortunatly, it was still hungry and he knew he'd have to break out in his true self to go hunting.

"Listen up you sleezy brats."

Miss Mindy nudged him looking appalled by the way he spoke to his students.

"Do you really have to be this bitter even on a field trip Stephen?"

Stephen aka Mr Finlay ignored the dorky history teacher and continued on.

"Fine, you sleeze balls."

"Oh!"

"Better?"

Miss Mindy walked away from him and stood with the students who looked midly afraid of his strict behaviour.

"I hope you've learned something on this field trip, because next week I'll be giving out a pop quiz."

The students groaned. Samantha shot her gaze down to her feet trying to avoid eye contact as much as possible. She still couldn't believe he kissed her deeply with mad passion like that.

"Eyes up here Miss Samantha Swarez."

Samantha got a wild chill down her spine as he said her name out of the blue whilst she was standing in line with the rest of the students. Like an obedient student, she quietly met his gaze, keeping her pounding heart for him at bay.

Mr Finlay past her and continued down the line paying her no attention once again.

"Should anyone of you fail my exam, I'll be stapling Burger King applications on your paper."

"We will be leaving the North part of this Island at 0600 hours you are not to miss the ferry and if you do you will be expected to catch the next ferry that will arrive at 1800 and if you do, mark my words, you will have detention for the rest of the semester." He warned.

"Have you all had your dinner?"

"Yes sir."

"Did you have fun today?" He glanced towards Samantha and approached her looking down at her sharply.

He could hear her pounding heart rate and her cheeks heating up under his gaze.

"Yes, sir." She replied in a quiet tone.

Mr Finlay then turned towards the rest of the students and smiled.

"Then stop staring at me, and get to bed." Mr Finlay said turning sharply on his heel.

The students relaxed after he left the scene and Miss Mindy went after him, to tell him off for his rude behaviour. However, Mr Finlay simply needed to release his wolf and go on a bad hunt.

Seo-In stretched out for a yawn and turned on her heel to go into her tent that she was sharing with Mia, however a tap came on her shoulder.

"Aren't you forgetting something Seo-In?" It was Theo who made her turn around.

"What?"

"The bet beautiful." He reminded.

The loosers had to share the tent together tonight?!

Seo-In shortly chuckled at him.

"You're not serious, right?" Seo-In turned on her heel but Theo growled lowly and grabbed her hand and pushed her against his chest.

Her heart pounded due to her close proximity with him. Theo smirked down watching her temprature rise.

"Yes, I am." He whispered, taking a playful bite at her ear, making her gasp out, as her whole ear went red.

Seo-In shoved him away making Theo chuckle.

"So sensitive."

"Stop playing around Theo! Mia is not sharing a tent with Nico tonight." She whisper yelled angrily, before any of the other nearby students retreating towards their tents could hear them.

"She's right, it's against school rules, boys and girls can't share tents." Mia said joining Theo and Seo-In in a close heated argument.

"I agree with Mia." Nico arrived trying to dissuade his smitten looking friend.

"Thank you Nico!" Seo-In said approving of his wiser friend. Theo looked darkly towards a calm looking Nico. He was being the worst friend at a very crucial time.

"Excuse us for a moment girls." Theo pushed Nico to the side and away from them.

{T} You're suppose to be my wingman!

{N} I can do that in school not here.

{T} C'mon don't be such a c0ck blocker!

{N} Theo I'd gladly go in with any girl, but you failed to notice that Mia is not just any girl. She's the Alpha's girl! I will not go in the tent alone with her.

{T} Nico please, my wolf won't be happy if we can't spend time with Seo-In.

{N} You had the whole day with her!

{T} Please, it will only be for an hour.

Nico looked at him strictly.

{N} You're not going to bite her are you?

Theo's sudden silence said it all.

Nico pushed Theo against his chest

{N} Dude! You know the rules! You can't do that!

Off in a distance, Seo-In and Mia looked on shocked to see them just standing there in silence and not talking to each other.

"What are they doing?"

"No idea?"

But when they saw Nico suddenly pushing Theo, Seo-In suddenly got worried.

"Oh, crap they're not going to start a fight are they?"

"C'mon, let's go break that up before it gets to messy."

{T} I'm not going to do that! I know the rules and I have self-control. Just please, I just want to spend some more time with her.

{N} This is a bad idea.

{T} Look, I've taken my pill and I'll be fine around her. Besides, aren't you curious to know about her? This is the perfect time to do so.

Nico sighed and let go of his shoulder. Theo was right, he unfortunatly did wish to know more about Mia. Perhaps she'd be willing to open up to him to tell him who she really was?

{N} Fine.

Theo then smirked and got on Nico's back giving him a friendly kiss on the cheek.

Surprising the girls.

"Did they just make up?"

"That was the weirdest silent fight amongst boys I've ever seen."

As the girls approached them, Nico dropped Theo from his back, looking happy than ever.

"Everything ok?"

"Everything is fine beautiful." Theo said coming around Seo-In and engulfing her in a warm back hug.

"Theo stop!" She slapped his hands on him.

Mia chuckled finding Seo-In and Theo cute.

"Actually Mia if it's ok with you, can I talk to you?" Nico asked, ignoring the wolf and the lamb.

"Umm..Sure Nico, what's up?"

"Not here. In my tent?"

Seo-In gasped and broke out of Theo's hold.

"No, absolutely not!"

"Hey, you're not the boss of her!" Theo argued making Seo-In scoff.

"Seo-In relax, he just wants to talk."

"Excuse us for just a moment guys."

Then Seo-In grabbed Mia and dragged her to the side a little away from the ears. Little did they know, that they were werewolves whom had strong hearing.

"Don't you find it strange that he suddenly wants to get you alone in his tent?"

"What? No Seo-In he just wants to talk."

"Well what if Nico is trying to get into your pants?"

{T} Is this true?

{N} Shutup.

"Seo-In..."

"Think about it. He gave you a piggy back ride on the mountain today. Do you know how many girl asked Nico if they could go in his back? Alot! But he refused all of them, even the girls that were faking a sprain. It's not easy to get a piggy back ride from him. But he gave you one. The guy chose you Mia. Let's face it. Nico is into you."

Mia couldn't help but glance back towards Nico who was looking quite calm and patiently towards her.

{T} Ohh, do you think she's into you?

{N} If she was she'd be inside the tent already.

"Nico isn't like Theo."

"I know, because Theo is trying to get into my pants!" She whisper yelled worriedly at her.

{N} Is this true Theo?

{T} Well...

Nico quickly pulled him under his arm for a head lock and squeezed at his neck.

{N} You will keep your d!ck in your pants or the bet is off.

{T} Ok!

"Crap are they fighting again?" Seo-In and Mia looked towards the boys who were now locking arms in each other shoulders smiling at them.

"Ok I'll never understand their strange bromance, but whatever. Seo-In I need to speak with Nico anyways."

"Mia?!" She was going to leave her alone with the damn lion!

"Stay with Theo and if he does anything stupid, just scream for Miss Mindy?"

"Mia! Mia, no! Please, don't leave me alone with him?!"

"Don't worry, it won't be for too long." Mia reassured a nervous looking Seo-In towards grinning awaiting Theo.

The girls came back towards the boys.

"Nico I would like to let you know that I will join you inside your tent for only twenty minutes."

Seo-In seemed to relax even further knowing it was for a short time.

{T} No! Twenty minutes is too short! Wingman do something!

"Well I'd like to speak with you for at least an hour Mia?" Nico said surprising Mia and Seo-In.

"See I told you he likes you." Seo-In whispered quickly to her ear.

"Half-an-hour." Mia said giving him a strict look.

"An hour Mia or Theo won't hesitate to kidnap Seo-In the next move."

Theo and Nico automatically high fived each other after seeing their troubled faces.

"Kidnap?!"

"If you don't want that to happen to you, you better follow me now." Theo said sending chills down her spine.

How could she forget that Theo had the power alongside the calm and silent Nico to make her disappear, just like Ricky.

She silently nodded due to fear and stepped away from Mia, following after Theo towards the woods.

Nico smirked turning on his heel towards a very silent and pissed of looking Mia. Clearly she didn't like the threats from the student council members. Lucky for her, she still had her pocket knife on her if Nico dared to act appropriately with her inside his tent tonight.

He approached his tent and looked around to see no on in sight. He ushered her over and opened up his zip for her.

"After you."
