Figment Awakening

Chapter 9 Looking For Louis

Harry, Niall, Liam, Zayn, and I Marched out into the forest like trained assassins. After all, we kinda were. I was still fidgeting with my belt.

" Zayn, what is really out here? Be honest,"

" Well, Ethel. I'm almost certain these are vampires we are up against. These blood-sucking parasites have been on our trail for years. They want the Villa so they can grow their population with somewhere to house everyone. They're doing this as a threat. "

" So," I was trying to carry on a conversation, " what is everyone else's talent?"

" Harry sees everything, he can focus on an object 15 miles away. Liam is an echo-locator, he makes clicks with his tongue and by doing this he can hear where the sound waves are and aren't; that's how he can 'see' his way around. Perri can persuade anyone to do anything. Niall is based around water, he can boil it, freeze it, you name it. "

" Oh, Liam's is very rare. I'm surprised. I never really thought of him as someone to have such a unique talent. "

We were getting deep into the forest, the farther we went the more paranoid I became. Everything seemed so still. By that time we must have been walking for almost an hour and no trace of Louis or his captor.

Harry signaled for us to stop.

" Take a break, guys. It's getting dark and we should set up our tents. I will assign you random partners. These partners will be the one who you will share your tent with," Harry had a small marble bag that had all our names in it.

" Niall and Perri," he took and elongated pause between each pair while he was passing out the tent bag, " Liam and Me. Zayn and Ethel,"

Zayn walked up to get the tent and food pouches for each of us. I was putting the tent up while he was helping with starting a fire.

The sky was getting to sunset by the time all of the tents were up and the fire was going steady. The tents were sized for two people with a small space in between for a bag of supplies; flashlights, water bottles, bandages and first aid, and and tube of crackers with a package of old chocolates taped together.

For a small dinner we cooked potatoes in tin foil over the fire. I shared mine with Perri, who accidentally covered mine in pepper, I was just gonna do that anyway.

Everyone shared a couple jokes while we ate our baked potatoes. We were all tired. But I was the last to fall asleep.
