The mystery bodies

Chapter 2

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" yawned Leona.

"Do we have to be up right now?" said Mia.

"Oh come on it's 6am! It's late" answered Isabelle, who loved waking up early.

"Late? Nah gurl you're out of your mind." said Leona.

"Come on let's have breakfast." said Isabelle, secretly knowing that would for sure wake Leona since she loved to cook.

"Oh well since I'm already up I'll go make breakfast". said Leona, hopping over to the kitchen full of energy like it was mid-day. Isabelle and Mia giggled.

"Izzy can I PLEASE sleep?" Mia said with puppy eyes.

"Sure if you want. I guess I'll go bird watching with the others then". replied Isabelle, again tricking Mia to wake up.

"Nevermind I'm up". Mia sprung out of bed. Isabelle smiled. She then marched over to the boys' room and opened their curtains violently.

"Rise and shine dummies!" she said. 

"Shut it". said Noah.

"Oh come on 6am? What is your problem Izzy?" said Aiden.

"I was gonna watch a basketball game. Sorry to wake you. I'll leave". she said pointing to the door.

"I'm up!" replied Aiden. 

"Oh come on Iz, let us sleep!" said Oliver.

"Sure then. No freshly baked cinnamon rolls for you. Baiiiiiii". she answered.

"What where?" Oliver said marching to the bathroom.

"Noahhhhhhhhhhhhh" she nudged him.

"What" he replied sleepily.

"Leona's hurt. She scraped her knee". she answered him.

"WHAT?! LEONA YOU OKAY?!?!!?" he yelled as he got out of bed. Isabelle smiled: she knew how to wake her friends!

By 6:30am, everyone was sitting at the table, eating banana protein pancakes Leona had made. They were all slightly pissed at Isabelle for tricking them into waking up, but soon everybody was up, in the mood, and ready to go by 7am. 

"Oh look that's so pretty!" said Leona, pointing to a single pink rose. Noah went over to the flower, picked it and gave it to Leona. She smiled gazing into his eyes and blushing. Oliver and Aiden started to snort. 

"Cut it out!" Noah yelled, and looked back into Leona's big, beautiful blue eyes with super-long eyelashes. 

"Oh look a butterfly!" exclaimed Isabelle. Oliver took out his sketch book and quickly drew the butterfly and handed it to Isabelle. She kissed him on the cheek as he blushed. 

"No way, no way, no way!" whisper screamed Mia. 

"What is it?" Leona and Isabelle said at the same time.

"Jinx!" they said, at the same time and laughed. 

"Yeah, yeah but look! A white pinecone! It's the one of the most rare things in nature. I heard it gets it's color from snow." Mia said. Of course, after Noah and Oliver's gestures, Aiden had to do something. He found a stick nearby and tossed it into the tree from where the pinecone was hanging. It fell right into Mia's hands. She smiled at him and he smiled back. Now it was Isabelle and Leona's turn to snort. Later on, all six of them found themselves snorting by the river. They kept walking, as they started to smell a dreadful odor. 

"Ergh, GROSS! What on earth is that?" said Leona, plugging her nose.

"I'm gonna puke". added Noah.

"That smells like something that's been rotting for a long time. Maybe a nearby animal died". proposed Isabelle.

"An animal died?" said Mia, looking sad.

"Don't worry Mia, don't trust her". Aiden said, hugging Mia. 

"Hey!" replied Isabelle. 

"Guys look!" Oliver said, pointing to something that looked like a dead body. 

"Nooo". said Leona, in shock. 

"A dead body?" asked Mia.

"Wait a second". said Oliver, approaching the body. 

"What?" asked Isabelle.

"There's more look! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. HOLY COW 11 DEAD BODIES?!?!!?" yelled Oliver.

"Shit" said Leona.

"Is there a shooter here? Is this place even safe?" said Noah. 

"Shush, look". whispered Isabelle. She pointed at a large shadow holding something large in it's hand.
