The Legend of the Blood Forest

Chapter 5

          Day's had passed since Ken and Hyuk disappeared. The others had all been calm, claiming they might have stayed somewhere else. However, Kat knew in the back of her mind something felt wrong. No matter how many times she protested to the others, N would claim they knew what they were doing. This night was like the others, Kat paced back and forth while N and Hongbin were out looking.

Leo sat at the table with his foot neatly over lapping the other on the table. Sitting a few seats over from him was Ravi, who had found a piece of string and began playing with it. Looking around the room as she paced, she let out a sigh. She was frustrated with how calm they all where. Stopping in mid stride next to a wall, she clenched her fingers into a tight fist. With anger fueling her, she reached back, and threw a punch at the wall.

A loud crack echoed in room. Taking a deep breath she removed her hand, watching as small chunks of concrete fell to the ground. She had hoped it would have calmed her down. Sadly, it didn't. If anything she felt more frustrated than before. She turned to see Ravi staring at her with wide eyes. Seeing the two of them sitting there infuriated her.

"HOW CAN YOU TWO JUST SIT THERE?!" She yelled.

She had finally passed her limit. She didn't understand their calmness with the situation. She watched as the expression from Ravi's face change from a carefree kid, to a serious adult. He walked slowly toward her, his eye fixated on her. She saw the rage in his eyes as he stood face to face with her. Her small fists began to tremble, but not out of fear.

"We're doing what N said." He said sternly.

"What to stay put and do nothing." She argued, "Only going out in groups. That's ridiculous, we should be going out there and searching for them."

After the discovery of Ken and Hyuk's disappearance, N had suggested they take certain precautions. Like going hunting in pairs, searching in pairs. While she hated the idea of anyone else going missing, she protested and told him the more people looking the better the chances of find them would be. N had agreed, but couldn't risk anyone else going missing.

She stood, eyes piercing into Ravi's. She could tell he was just as frustrated as she was, but he had his morals. He never did anything behind N's back, that's what made them such a strong group. Her anger started to boil again as the silence between them grew.

"What?!" She called, "You have nothing to say?!"

At that point Leo moved from his seat. His feet hit the floor with a great thud, making sure it echoed throughout the room. He had become angry with the two of them. All he wanted was peace and quiet. However, he knew Kat meant well. He agreed with her, they should be looking. But he agreed with N. He couldn't risk losing her. Letting out a breath, he turned and walked toward them. Taking long strides, he was standing next to them in a matter of seconds.

"Leave." He said placing a hand on Kat's shoulder.

"Excuse me?" She said now looking at him.

"Go to my room." He said sternly, "And stay there."

His eyes glowed a bright grey as she ordered her to leave. Quickly jerking her head away from his gaze, she turned and walked away. She stopped just inside the door way, and paused for a second. Gripping the cold metal knob, she pulled the door. Slamming it behind her.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Ravi looked to his friend. He saw the concerned look in his eyes, and placed a firm hand on his shoulder. He too knew she had a good point, but couldn't do anything about it. He watched as Leo let out a sigh. He had reached his limit as well.
