"Should we go with the same way?" Raze asked. They already stared their journey in finding the exit. If they need to try all the ways and walk all the paths to leave this forest, they'll definitely do it.
"Let's try every way possible. We need to come back alive, Raze. We stayed here for two days and one night but I'm tired of this place already," Jet replied. He won't let to have the same fate other researchers met in this place. They should come out alive and breathing.
"Me too. I'd rather stay in the office for the whole time than to examine places like this." Raze responded, almost giving a pout. The whole presence of the place is weird enough to scare them. It doesn't feel as free as normal forests. They feel like their life is on line. Working in the office is a lot safer since they have a lot of people to
"Come in," Saint answered after hearing a series of knock on his door. He is reviewing his notes, preparing for the upcoming exam. He stretched his arms up in the air as he turned his swivel chair, facing the door."Saint," Silas greeted quietly. Truth to be told, Silas isn't talkative, the exact opposite of Saint. He often talks, only when he's asked or want to say something very important. But despite of that, words that comes out his mouth are meaningful and honest with a bit of harshness. Nevertheless, he still plays with his brothers, his laugh and smile exclusive only for them.One time, Hail asked Silas about his 'original sense of fashion'. Silas answered him frankly, saying it is weird and not fashionable. Hail was dumbfounded and surprised but then thanked his younger brother for a very honest review. F
"Fucking rude," Jet murmured for the hundredth time. His jaw is still clenched from what happened earlier.They're currently taking a path Raze said to be the 'possible' exit. With their backpacks strapped on them, the two walks like they're in a marathon. Well, it's Jet who's walking this fast, Raze is just calm behind him."Calm down already, Jet. What made you so mad like this?" Raze asked in confusion."Haven't you heard what Hail said?""He said he want to meet us again. Oh boy, I don't support that. I'll never come back here," Raze complained. He reminisced how Hail, Claude, and Magnus gave them sweet yet threatening smile. Raze might consider it as one of his
It's finally their last day at the hospital. Raze is at Jet's room, trying to recover the photos he captured 7 days ago. Until now, they can't find any evidence that we entered Red Woods aside from the unmoved van and their disappearance. Their memories from that place aren't still clear. Whenever they try to recall scenes, their heads only hurt. The doctor advised the two of them to relax their minds for a while but their curiosity haunts them every night. "Can I see your notebook? This is damn frustrating," Raze complained. Without a word, Jet gave his notebook, the one he used for listing down details. "It's cleanly torn as if we've been asleep for so long," Raze murmured. "Do you really remember everything?" Jet asked. His partner nodded and proceeded in rearranging his camera. "Why can
Jet is quietly pinching his arms, trying to convince himself that everything is only a dream. Well, he doesn't even consider it one, it's a nightmare. On the back of his mind, he's wishing that someone will help them get away from this place, from this people."Welcome to the Reds' residence," Chairman Sun introduced as they go down the old-fashioned vehicle.Surprisingly, it still works pretty stable. After a long discussion with the said chairman and the five mysterious siblings, Raze and Jet waited for another hour outside the office."Welcome home?" Saint whispered, receiving death glares from his siblings. "What?" he mouthed at them. Jet took a step back. They will never stay here for long. Their home lies in the city, not in the wild.
"It's freaking 5 in the morning!" Raze yelled while having a tug-of-war with his blanket against Claude. The sun is not yet up but the Reds are already dressed up, waiting for Jet and Raze downstairs."I know! We need to shop early for your clothes and accessories. Now get up and take a bath. Saint will bring your clothes here," Claude fought back, who is now shaking up the sleepyhead Jet.The older environmentalist sat up straight and threw hateful stares at the busy Claude. "I hate you," he said before stomping his feet to the bathroom."Same goes with you," the vampire replied with a tune.It only took them 20 minutes to prepare since they refused to use bathroom from other rooms. You know, keeping their pride. Just what Claude said, their clothes were brought by Saint in no time. They rode the van and quickly arrived at the mall. Unexpectedly, the stores are all open but there was no single customer aside from them.Conf
"We don't belong here! Do you know where we live, huh? It's far-" Jet protested."At the capital of this country. Manila to be exact. Environmentalists at ENVO, son of-" Raze's grip on the table tightened. People in Red Woods are really mysterious. Funny how they know nothing about them but the other group knows almost everything, including their personal lives."Are you a stalker or what?! Let us go! We're not here to play your shitty game! Know that we're here to work. Wake up from your sleep!" Jet fueled his shouting engine again."Tie them. They won't listen to me," Amanda instructed her guards. She then walked to the the elder Reds' direction. "Hail, Claude, I told you about this right? How come they're still rebel like this?" she hissed. Claude
"Come in," Silas answered to the knock on the door. A sweaty Magnus entered the room and was about to throw himself at the couch when his eyes met Jet's."I thought your class is done?" Magnus asked, pointing the environmentalists while catching his breath."We just started, Magnus," Saint answered. He lifted the books they're studying to show that they're busy at the moment."Go back to the palace to get some rest." Silas said."It's tiring. I'll just sleep here. I won't interrupt you, continue what you're doing," Magnus insisted. He's about to lay down the couch when Raze stopped him."But you're snore so loud," the younger annoyingly said."I don't!""You do! Our room is just next to yours! We can't sleep properly!" Jet added. Watching the three have a yelling contest might be Saint and Silas' new favorite show. What makes it more exciting is they get to see it everyday!"Stop it! Ma
Every person has a side that is a secret to most people. Many can keep that side by themselves until they reach the grave. Some hide it for they think it might affect their projected image or perception as a person. Some hide it for safety. But not everyone can possess the art of hiding."Rise the stick gently, make an eight figure, and strike it forward." For the first time, Jet and Raze heard a calm Magnus. They are used to him shouting, whining, and nagging. But this moment right in front of their face is a major turntable.Watching Magnus teach children in an open area while hiding behind the tall bushes is a thing Jet won't expect to do. A loud cry caught their attention and moved forward to see who it was. It's a little girl in braids, sitting on the ground while kicking the air and
