Chapter 6 - A Dark Gift

 I wake up to the familiar sound. Ding-Dong Bing- Booooong. "Good morning sky academy students. It is now 7:00am. Time to get a great start on yet another Christmas day!"

The next sound I hear is two claps from Joseph causing the Christmas trees to light up. "Noooo." I say sluggishly clapping twice myself to turn them off.

"Fine have it your way." Joseph got up and started to walk out of the room. "I'm going to get some breakfast."

I laid there for a long time by myself trying to get back to sleep. Realizing that was futile effort I decided to take Josephs lead and go get some breakfast. On my way there a familiar smell wafted down the halls. I picked up speed and when I finally made it to the cafeteria I saw it was completely changed.

The tables had been rearranged so there was a long line of them at the far end of the room. There was an assortment of food that was set on the tables complete with a coffee maker and glasses filled with juice. It seemed everyone had come down and was enjoying the food. All fourteen of us. Felecia, Chase, and Irene were all handing out food. Kate and Eliza saw me and got up.

"Isn't it great?" Kate asked gesturing her arms to show off the rooms setup.

"After you and Felecia left, I not only counted all the pointy stuff, but I helped Irene set up some of the other things we found. Then we got up early today and she started cooking."

"What did you do with all the knifes you found?" I asked.

"Joseph took Luke's school pass and were using his, and Jason's old room as a storage." Kate answered.

"Irene also has a small knife for cooking purposes." Eliza added.

"Hey Echo." Irene called out. "Come get some food."

Irene had steamed some vegetables, and cooked a chicken which was right next to a tray full of bacon and eggs. It wasn't as fancy as I would expect from the world's ultimate chef but I would withhold my judgment until I tasted it. I took a portion of the bacon, eggs, and chicken meat. Then I took a glass of coffee and sat down. Due to me being the last person, everyone who was handing out food sat down too.

I was about to take a bite of the eggs when Joseph stopped me. "Echo. I have to warn you about the orgasm you are about to have in your mouth. Just be prepared."

I rolled my eyes as I went for a bite. Long story short. Joseph was right.

"Told you." He smiled.

Irene sat across from me next to Joseph. She seemed to have perked up since yesterday. She was talking about the different assortment of spices she had used to create the perfect egg flavor. Everything else I ait was just as good as the eggs. I scarfed down my food so fast I didn't even notice Murikakooma appearing from one of the vents until I heard his familiar annoying voice. "Hellllloo sky academy students. Hate to ruin the Christmas mood but It's time for your next move!"

There was a long pause as nobody cared to respond. "Well get on with it." Jes rolled her eyes.

"I was hoping for more excitement." Murikakooma said sullen. "Because your motave this time is a berry bombastic CHRISTMAS GIFT!"

There was another long pause. "What?" Arnold asked.

"I'll make it easy for your tiny brain to understand. You kill someone and get away with it, you will get the thing you desire most."

"What if what we most desire is to get out of here? What would we gain from this?" Leif asked.

"Come on. There has to be something you want more than that? You all think about it." With that Murikakooma went back into his vent leaving us alone.
