On the far side of the cliff, there was a pathway towards a cave. With the strong wind flowing through the night, it would be rather dangerous to climb down and hope not to fall. Thankfully, the boys knew what they're doing, climbing down the rocky pathway like it was nothing. As for Michael and Amelia, they proceed with caution, small steps so neither one of them would fall. Amelia slipped at some point, falling into David's rather strong arms. "Better watch your step next time, sweetheart" he teased with an amused smirk
Mia was thankful that it was dark out, otherwise David would've seen her blushing. Michael wasn't very pleased seeing his sister interacting with these guys. But she wanted to keep going, so he followed her lead as they made their way inside the cave.

The cave itself was definitely a sight to behold. As it turns out, the place was once the hottest resort in Santa Carla 85 years ago as David explained its history. In 1906, a huge earthquake from San Francisco opened up the place and the resort collapsed right in the middle. Now, the place is considered the boys' hideout with posters and very unique items decorated to the brim. Amelia was rather impressed, reaching towards something until a pigeon suddenly bit her finger. "Ouch" she hissed, pulling her hand back as the pigeon flew towards Marko. She looked down to see blood slowly making its way down her finger, pissed at the bird for attacking her like that.

A gloved hand came into view, "Give me your hand" said David
Mia looked confused until the platinum blonde took her hand and licked the blood off her finger. His tongue glides slowly against her index finger, licking the blood clean as his blue orbs looked straight into the girl. There it was, that tense feeling she had the other day when they first met. His eyes burned into her skull as he looked at Mia, slowly pulling away from her hand without breaking eye contact. "Marko" he called, "food"
Marko leaves the cave to fetch the group something to eat while David leans into Amelia's ear to whisper, "You're more accident prone than I thought, sweetheart~ Better be more careful next time"

Amelia was left blushing as David walked away, her heart pounding against her chest at the lingering feeling of his touch and breath against her skin. Michael placed a hand on his sister's shoulder to bring her back to reality, checking her finger to see if it stopped bleeding. "It's what I love about this place" said David, accepting a joint from Paul, "You ask, then you get"
The platinum blonde wraps an arm around Michael as they walk around the cave, leaving Mia and Star to watch the scene unfold. Amelia then felt a light tug on her jacket, looking down to see a little boy around the age of 7. "Are you hurt?" he asked sweetly, pointing at the teenage girl's hand. Amelia smiled and ruffed the boy's head gently, "It's just a small bite" she said, "I'm okay"
The moment she looked at her finger, the bite was gone. It was strange, one moment she had a bite mark on her index finger and now it's gone as if it were by magic. Maybe something far stranger than that.

Not long after, Marko returns to the cave with a box of what appears to be Chinese food. "Feeding time!" he called, "Come and get it, boys"
"Chinese, good choice" said David, taking his seat in an old wheelchair in the center of the hideout. Marko tossed the box of Chinese to each of the boys until he handed Amelia a box of food. "I-I can't eat that stuff" she said sadly, "Not good for my heart"
"Come on, one bite's not gonna kill ya" said Marko, "Don't leave me hanging, baby"
As much as Amelia didn't want to, she accepted the box, not wanting to be rude. David hands Michael a box of rice, who kindly refused since he wasn't hungry. "You don't like rice?" asked David, "Tell me, Michael, how could a billion Chinese people be wrong?"

The boys chuckled as soon as Michael accepted the box of rice. Once Michael took a bite out of the white sticky substance, David smirked and asked, "How are those maggots?"
Michael looked confused, his mouth full of rice
"Maggots, Michael" said David, "You're eating maggots, how do they taste?"
Michael rolled his eyes, thinking the boys were playing a prank on him until he looked down at the box in his hands. Low and behold, a box of live maggots were moving around, which made Michael gag and spit the food in his mouth in disgust. The boys laughed hysterically at the male's reaction, until Michael realized it was rice all along.
