CHAPTER FIFTY SIX
"Where are our bags?" Wilkes whispered in an alarming tone as him and Trisha watched Harold, Derek and Penelope walk to a grey limousine that was parked beside the auditorium.
Four men all dressed in black tuxedos, tinted glasses and wristwatches that beeped with a red light walked before them like bodyguards and Dr. Peyton Giovanni walked behind them with a vile smile.
"They're at my hostel. We have to get them now and meet Harold at the gate," Trisha said pretty loudly so that Wilkes could hear her over the cheers from the students that watched their representative leave.
They both gave Harold a long, lasting look as he sunk into the limousine then with a lot of struggle, they forced their way through the noisy crowd and began running. They had to beat the limousine.
"Any shortcuts?" Wilkes asked as they ran past a lamp post that was blackish with rust. It had stopped functioning for years and hadn't b

Penelope was the first to get out of the limousine that had transported them from the auditorium to the school's gate. When she was out, Derek who was quite confident of himself retrieving the orb and making enchanters like him proud stepped out, too, and lastly, Harold Girard, who had an expressionless look on his face exited the limousine.The three of them looked all around the intimidating green trees that could make the tallest of giants look like a midget. They were so absorbed in the experience that had started whether they were prepared or not to the extent that they weren't aware of the limousine steering its way back to the school until it was long gone.So far for Harold, though, things were going as professor Ericson had predicted. Penelope brought two guns; a very small-sized pistol and an hunting rifle that was slung over her shoulder. She had a a lot of cartridge in her bag, too, and barely brought any meals.D

If Harold, Penelope and Derek thought the forest was dark, it only got darker when the sun disappeared into the sky completely. It got so dark they couldn't see each other's silhouettes and had to use their flashlights to navigate past the naturally grown hedges of their odd environment.Having trekked what Harold calculated to be one-fourth the total landmass of the forest, they were physically tired and when they got to a snug location that gave them an almost 360° of the trees that surrounded them, they decided to rest there for the night because they couldn't take the chances of continuing only to be devoured or to find a place that wasn't as good as the one they had come across at that moment.As they settled on the small space that had soft grasses that popped out of the ground like they were on a picnic—without its luxuries, they continued their discussion, this time being Penelope's turn to talk.“I grew up with my grandmoth

Professor Ericson woke up with a gentle hammer that persisted at a soft and timely rhythm. He looked all around with his blurry vision, trying to remember where he was when the whiff of poop whacked his nostrils again and immediately, he remembered all that had happened.In short, he had visited Francis for help and had been drugged to sleep. Thankfully, it wasn't poison.Professor Ericson sniffed out the nasty foul from his nostrils as his eyes cleared even more, showing him the walls with peeling colour and white ceiling that had turned creamy with swipes here and there of grime that had accumulated over years. His sense of touch came back to him and he felt the heated and very uncomfortable surface he was on. Gradually, he sat up and he remembered it as the cushion he sat on before he fainted. No wonder it was uncomfortable and extremely hurt.A throat cleared and spoke up, “I was wondering when you

The stunning, orange-coloured embers of the wood Harold and the two others had set ablaze danced into the benighted atmosphere in permed curls with occasional hisses and fizzles as Harold, Derek and Penelope sat round the bonfire—for its warmth, whilst giving each other enough room to operate as their pupils tended to the hypnotizing flame.A cold, night wind swept through the forest and threatened to extinguish the flames which Derek was now holding a piece of meat over, but the flame although wavered, survived the gust.“You were saying something, Penny?” Derek said, as he moved away from the heat that was boiling his skin and heating his blood. The meat was fairly roasted but he wasn't going to grill himself for a chunk of meat. ‘That will be stupid’, he thought as he sat and looked at the meat for a part that could assuage his craving.Penelope's eyes shifted from the flame which was keepi

Harold's brows twitched at their edges as they knotted together in an intimidating frown. His breath, too, was mild and regular as sighs escaped through his lips and although he was in an unmoving stance like a statue, he was so in tune with the environment he was in—the forest, that he almost knew of every cricket that crawled past him on the earth and every bird that flew above them to safety.His knees which were a little bent ached as he stood still but he paid no regard to it as he held his sharp knife tightly in his right hand like his life was banked on it, him and the others waiting for the wild animal—not ghoul, he hoped, to come out from behind the thick trees.The only parts of his body which were moving were his heart which was pumping an incredible amount of adrenaline through his veins, ready to spring into action and his eyeballs which sometimes shifted to Derek who Harold thought had been behaving diffe

Trisha and Wilkes watched as Penelope told Harold and Derek about her childhood. It was emotional, no doubt about that but it wasn't their business.After watching the ghoul take control of Derek, they knew better than before the stakes at hand and that they had to watch over their friend and although the both of them had a rough start into finding Harold, it was a good thing they had stuck together or neither of them might have survived up to that moment.From where they were well hidden behind a thick bush that provided the perfect level of obscurity they wanted, they watched the fire ascend into the hair, veer with the wind, attenuate a little then return back to its normal height and intensity.From where they were, too, they had heard the thunderous growl that reverberated through the forest and they watched as Penelope, Derek and Harold get into a battle stance to protect themselves.Luckily, they, too, had prep

When Trisha and Wilkes had gone, Chloe burst into another round of tears. She was so sad even her wolf shared in her sadness and no matter how much she consoled herself, she knew the love of her life was gone. Seconds slowly metamorphosed to minutes and minutes to hours and as time rolled on, slowly, a vile thought crept into her head. Revenge.With a blurry vision, Chloe studied her dormitory. The walls which she'd had a verbal brawl with Trisha on till they were hugged with pink wallpapers was the least of her problems. The small and lovely chandelier made of glass that hung from above, too, at that moment couldn't illuminate her of the dark urge to retaliate Trisha's behaviour with one that will affect her just as bad as she, Chloe, was affected. All she needed was an opening.Slowly, her gaze shifted and landed on the spot Trisha had ransacked before she and Wilkes suddenly left her alone to her misery.&lsquo

When the creature was gone, Trisha quickly dashed to where Wilkes was but on her arrival, she noticed that he was as good as though he'd never been hurt. He, Wilkes, saw the look of surprise in her eyes and grinned as he rested the back of his head against a tree, catching his breath.“Sometimes I forget it's nearly impossible for you to be hurt for a long time,” she said as she helped him up to his feet.“Trust me when I say that I forget, too.” Wilkes eyes shifted to the green world around him but landed on each of the three contestants who were separated from each other by a few metres. “I wonder why Harold and Penelope aren't awake already.”They both ran over to where Harold was and they realized that the damage done to him was far more than they'd imagined. More blood gushed out of the upper part of his right temple with a churning noise and his neck was visibly contorted.
