That’s a dream, that’s a dream, that’s a dream. I keep muttering these to myself, as if, I’m chanting a spell. What the hell was that? Did I see things right, or I’m just hallucinating? No, that’s not possible, I’m fucking wide awake, that’s real. Oh my god, what did I witness? I’m still standing outside the building, the lights were dimmed, since it’s past the office hours, so I don’t think there would be any soul, except for the guards. I tried to catch my breath again, I halt when I saw Hunter, casually walking on the opposite side of the road. I don’t know what gotten into me, my feet automatically followed him. He stopped two blocks away from the company, and enter a shop, a pet shop to be exact, my brow furrowed, trying to figure out why he went there, he lasted inside for a couple of minutes, he went out, with a rabbit on his arm. He starts to walk again, and I followed him, I made sure I have enough distance to him, I cant risk my safety, I don’t know, I just want to know
“Where are you taking me?! Let me go, you monster!” I was trying to get out of Hunter’s tight grip, the employees jaw drop upon seeing Hunter with me, and it’s fucking annoying, how I see in their eyes, forming a rumor, and I know, it’s going to be a dirty one.I didn’t heard any single word from Hunter, after I told him what I think he was, he gone ballistic, and instantly grabbed me to whenever he thinks of.“I said, let me go! Are you deaf! Let me fucking go!” but that just tighten his grip on me, my wrist started to get numb, I thought we were going to his car, since we’re on the parking area, but my eyes instantly twirled, as my vision starts to become blurry, and the wind slaps on my cheeks.In just a snap, I’m standing in the middle of the woods I wasn’t a familiar with. I should be afraid right now, but curiosity and excitement filled my chest. This is not the usual Hunter I’ve been seeing in the office. His familiar eerie aura, golden eyes, and his intoxicating scent was a
FOR THE past two weeks, I’m working, like the usual, but there is something odd about what I feel, like, I’m missing something. I tried to trace where I was brought when I got into an accident, but no one, I mean nobody knows where I was admitted.However, I can’t believe I just really admitted on a hospital, I mean, I woke up from by bed, yes, I felt sore, and my body ache so much, like I went from a marathon.Did my memory is messing with me?I can remember everything, except that day, I was allegedly got into an accident, another thing, when I’m seeing our President—Hunter, my head is aching so bad, I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence, or what, I avoided him after three days of seeing him every day.“Cel, are you coming to the team building?” Yana approached me, like the usual, she was carrying a pile of documents.“Isn’t it mandatory?” she chuckled and nodded, I rolled my eyes, “I don’t have a choice then,”“Don’t worry, you’ll love it there, I mean, every year, we were
“Okay, for groupings, you will all get a paper from this box,” Rein said, after pulling the small blue box behind his bag, “Each paper contains number, of course, those who have the same numbers will be on the same group,”“We will be all grouped into seven, each group has eight members, you will be with your group for the next three days, do you understand?” Jena asked, like she was some kind of strict proctor.We just nodded as response, some shouted their yes answer. We’ve been on team building site two hours ago, we already build our tents, and did the groupings, so far, we rested for a bit, the travelling hours is hell, we took a twelves hours trip with only two stop overs, and I’m not a fan of long rides.We started the groupings, I got into group four, along with Rabiya, Ally, Allian, Anika, Yana, Caleb, and Jace. Each group has their own tasks to do, like preparation of the food, continuing building tents, washing the dishes, and we are now preparing for a bonfire sinc
“Celeste,” I heard a faint voice, that voice is way far from me, but for some unknown reason, I can vividly hear it, like it’s behind my ear. I planned on ignoring it and get back to sleep, but I heard a bell. My eyes open, and I’m gasping air, like I haven’t breath for a while. I sat, and roamed my eyes. I looked at my wristwatch, it’s eleven forty seven, I only slept for an hour. “What the hell was that sound?” I heard another sound of bell again, my team were sleeping, I’m sharing the tent with my four other colleagues, and they are sleeping, like dead. I chuckled with the thought and view, “Ah, fuck,” I mumbled again, the sound of the bell was now echoing through my head. I sigh, and stood up, I grabbed my coat and wear it, before walking out of the tent. The whole place is silent, our tents were in a circle form, and in the middle of it was the bonfire, we called it a day, around past nine, since everyone is tired throughout the day. The bonfire looks good, Caleb must have put
“Do you know where we should start?” I chuckled and looked at Jace, we have been walking for ten minutes, and we haven’t still figure out how we should start looking for the treasure. “No, I have no idea,” “Why don’t we start with grounds with less leaves and branches?” he suggested, my brow furrowed, as I looked at him, he seemed to get what I think, “My family usually gone tripping and camping, when I was a kid, my grandpa taught me a lot of things about camping,” I shrug, “Okay, we can do that,” like what he said, we starts with the spot where there is less leaves, and branches, after ten minutes of walking, we saw a cave. What might be that? “Do you want to go in?” I shrug, “We can drink cold and clean water inside,” I chuckled, Jace seemed to really know a lot about this, “Is this your first time camping?” I nodded, “I barely attend activities like this, I mean, I don’t want to get tired, also, I’m not enjoying it,” I turned to him, “You must be really going here every summe
After we found the treasure, we immediately went back to our place, Jace was right, everyone was already back, and seems like they are waiting for something. “They’re here!” they all shot glance to us, “OMG! I knew it, that’s why we can’t find it,” Jace handed the box to Jena and Rein, we nodded and get back to our team, they were all excited, Caleb is almost jumping, perhaps, imagining how much we will be receiving. Well, I’m not that excited, I mean, we accidentally found it, while were chatting, I looked at Jace, he shyly smiled at me, and motioned me to look in front, which I did. “As you can see, we already have a winner, the group four! Let’s give them a round of applause!” we all clapped and congratulated everyone. It was quarter eleven, we decided to eat early lunch, before we proceed to the next game, we had talked about many things, first everything feels awkward to me, I’m not used on going to a social activities like team building, but most of my colleagues help me to
“As you can see, our president is here, to foresee the team building, however, dude to sudden circumstances, he wants us to leave this place,” I can’t look at them properly, even though, they didn’t know what happen by the lake, my conscience is eating me, with the fact that it was because of my stupidity that leads to the interruption of this team building that happens once a year. “When are we receiving the prize?” Ally excitedly asked. Jena looked at Hunter, who’s standing in front of me, Hunter nodded, And Jena smiled, “We will be giving the prized today, before we go home,” Rein opened the box and read inside, “Alright, group four will receive,” I’m not even into the prize, but why am I nervous? I chuckled, I saw Hunter took a glance at me, “Seven-seater for a three days trip!” I heard and saw how disappointed other group was, upon hearing the prize, it was indeed worth the search, my teammates were ecstatic, hearing that, I tilt my head and realized something. “But’ we are
