The Chosen Devil [Book ONE]: Aqua Hunter (ON HOLD)

FOURTEEN: Surprise!

And the slowest updating award goes to... MEEEEE!!!!

Yeah, I know it took me more than 3 months to update a chapter but it's finally here!!!! I had a very long term writer's block which I'm slowly recovering from at the moment. I was also so so soooooo busy with school and other things. I'm also planning another story for this account which I'm going to start writing once I've got Aqua Hunter organised more. I will upload a little summary of it soon. The first chapter will probably be uploaded when I've finished half of this book. :) 

But for now I hope you enjoy Chapter 14!!

Chapter 14

I slip out of my room and knock on CAT's door. The door cracked open a little bit and CAT appeared.

"Hey!" She cried.

"Hi CAT." I tried peering around her into her room. "Why can't I come into your room? I thought we were having a slumber party."

In a flash, she opened the door wider and quickly slipped out, slamming the door behind her. "Well... I was thinking maybe we could steal some food from the kitchen for a midnight snack."

"Sure." I agreed. "But why were you being so weird about me coming into your room?" I was starting to think something suspicious was going on.

CAT simply hummed and took off down hall.

Suddenly CAT took a left down the corridor instead of a right.

"Hey CAT?"

"Hm?"

"This isn't the way to the kitchen." I pointed out. "It's this way."

"Oh! Haha. Right, I'm still kind of getting used to the place. That's all." She nervously smiled.

"Ok... Then you'd better follow me." I raised my eyebrows. I'm not dumb, something's up. "Are you alright CAT? You seem kind of... out of this world."

"Hm? Yeah I'm fine." She forced a smile.

"If you say so."

I led the way down the right end of the corridor and we soon arrived at the back door to the kitchen. I opened the door and we entered a large room lined with shelves of pots, pans, kitchen knives, spatulas, cutlery and all sorts of different things you would usually find in an ordinary home kitchen but with twenty times more the amount; including different sizes, colours and shapes. On our left there was a sliding door labelled pantry and I assumed that it was one of those really big step-in pantries piled with tons of much food.

"This way." I whispered.

I tiptoed over to the door with CAT right on my heels. I looked around behind us to make sure no one else was watching us. Once that was clear I quickly seized the door handle and turned it slowly so as to not make a sound. The door creaked silently but luckily I was able to open it wide enough for both of us squeeze through the gap.

The pantry was huge. It was the size of my room even with a fridge the size of my king sized bed.

"Grab whatever you want." CAT gestured. "Quickly though, we don't want to get caught."

I nodded and a few minutes later we were back in the corridor, arms full of party food. We set off back towards the bedrooms' hallway occasionally accidentally dropping a chip packet or two.

"Do you think Ms Dunce will notice the missing food?" CAT asked.

"No. Well... hopefully not." I giggled as CAT struggled to open the door to her room. "Here let me hold that." I offered.
