Never

Chapter 3

"Alright kiddo. I'm about to head out." my mom said, picking up her coffee cup as I was eating a bowl of cereal.

"Make sure you're the only one that reads the attendance list, don't accidentally read our names out loud, mom. This has to work. Otherwise, they'll be a lot of explaining to do."

"I know I know. I'm not a child. You guys be careful. Remember,I always find out about everything." she said, kissing me on the forehead and walked towards the front door.

"Bye Mrs.Cassette." I heard a sexy voice say.

"Goodbye Aman." I hear my mom reply.

I feel hands grab my waist and pull me up out of my chair.

"Goodmroning." I say, leaning back into his chest.

"Morning", he says, kissing my neck," got anything to eat?"

"Cereal."

He  sits me back on the stool and I turn around to look at him. He looks me in the eye and then turns to the pantry.

"You okay?" I ask.

He stops and then turns around.

"Yeah, I'm just nervous."

I pull him into a hug and look him in the eyes.

"Don't be. It'll be fine."

By the time Esperenza and Cayden get to my house, Aman and I have eaten breakfast, put our "bare neccessities" bag on our seats, and finished our biology homework that's due in to weeks.

"Look who finally decided to show up." Aman says as they walk into the living room.

"Sorry", Esperenza apologized, "we got caught up this morning." Cayden smacks her on the butt and she giggles.

"Gross." I mumble.

"Come on Esp." I say, standing up.

"What?" she asks.

"Come put your bags in the truck."

"Oh, right." 

Esp follows me into the garage.

"What's wrong with Aman?" she asks.

"He said that he's nervous."

"Really? Aman? Wow.''

"I know right."

"But I guess he has a reason to be. It is something none of us have ever done before."

"Yeah."

I turned right onto a rocky pathway that seperated the woods.

"Great. A typical rocky pathway to go on." Cayden grumbled.

We drove along the twists and turns of the rocky road until we reached a huge wooden gate that was atleast 30 feet high and disappeared into the woods for miles and miles. The gate opened up as soon as we were within 5 feet of it. I pulled into the gate and it closed slowly behind us.

In front of us was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. It was built with dark mahagony and had beautiful rose bushed in the front yard. It was 4 stories, the size of a shopping mall.

"Wow." Aman said, looking out the front window.

I stopped the car in front of what looked to be a parking spot and parked the truck.

"We're here kiddos." I said. We all got out the truck, bringing our bags with us. A young looking woman walked out the front door of the mansion. She was your average blonde but there was something weird about her. I couldn't figure it out, but I sure planned on it.

"Hello", the woman began, "welcome to The Garden of Eden. My name is Farrah Dein."

"How ironic." I said under my breath.

"Pundit Geyona is waiting in her office for you all. But there are some rules I need to address before you step on the grounds of the Eden. First, no electronics. Please, if you have any on you, leave them in your vehicle or we can keep them in the main house. Second, the car keys, please. Third, there will be no communication to the outside world what so ever. If there are any emergencies or tragic new that we need to alert you of, we will gladly inform you of them. Fourth, we ask that there be no sexual intercourse on the grounds of the Eden. Now. Those are the main rules, the rest will be discussed with Pundit Geyona. Please follow me."

She quickly turned around and began to walk. We followed after her.

"Pundit Geyona is required to see you all before you see him. To make sure you all are what you really claim you are." Farrah, looking us up in down. 

She led us into an empty room with an one-way mirror on the wall. Farrah closed the door behind.

"I feel like I'm on an episode of NCIS." Esperenza mumbled under her breath.

A voice came over the public address system.

"I am Pundit Geyona. If you could all stand on the indicated X's on the ground." he ordered.

We each stood on one of the four X's.

Please state your names clearly out loud; starting you on the end to my left.

"Cayden Camden."

"Karesinda Cassette."

"Aman Balthazar."

"Esperenza Day."

We heard a laugh over the public address system.

"Dear children. You've  made a huge mistake. This is not a dedication camp for lamia. It's a camp for lycanthropes."

The door locked.
