Worms. Ants. Crickets.
Those are the first things I see this morning. I forget that we're in this wretched forest. But when I see these things I kill them immediately with my powers. I see that Des is also awake, I sit up.
"Breakfast...." I moan.
"I know, I hunted earlier and I got two squirrels and three birds." Des says, throwing me a roasted bird.
"The guys are still asleep." I say.
"Yeah." She nods, "What a bunch of lazy bums, it's around 10:00 am."
"How do you know?" I ask.
"The sun." She points up.
"I forgot to ask, who owns the third bird? There are only four of us." I say,
"Me." A low voice that belongs to Havoc suddenly says.
Turns out, he was right behind me. Honestly, he scares me, he can control everything.
"I didn't know you were there." I say calmly.
"Yeah, the rest of my team got brought back." He says, my eyes widen,
"You're with Fear, Chaos, and Inferno, right? What happened?" I ask nervously.
"Wasps, I got to avoid them, but my team got the stings and John sent a rescue team for them." He explains,
"I hope they're okay." I say,
"Yeah." He says, using his powers to lift a roasted bird and bring it to his hand,
I just eat and stare at my food. All of a sudden I hear two loud thumps.
"Ow." Dark moans.
"Hey, what the heck?!" Tray yells,
"Sorry, you guys wouldn't wake up, we have to eat and move." Havoc says, without any feeling whatsoever,
"Why do we have to move?" I ask, knitting my eyebrows,
"Because I said so." He says, trying to intimidate me.
"We don't have to follow you, you're not in charge of us." Des narrows her eyes,
"Oh, yes, I am." He does the same to her.
"You let the wasps on them didn't you." I narrow my eyes on him,
"They were slowing me down." He defends,
"This isn't a competition, idiot." I say,
"Shut up!" He says, he makes a big boulder squish me. Only my head isn't smushed by the huge rock. I feel every part of me ache in horrible pain.
I hear a cackle, I look behind me. Looks like alter ego Luna is here. I'm actually happy she is. I let out a witch like laughter.
"Who are you?" Havoc shakes,
"Lunacy, you coward!" She says in a witch like voice, striking him in the heart with an icicle.
"She's crazy!" Havoc gasps,
"Insanity, stop!" Tray yells at me. I writhe in pain, I realize what she's done.
"Stop! Stop!" I screech,
"Shut up! Now, who's next? Maybe Mr. Blabber mouth!" She points a sharp, big icicle at Tray.
"No!" I scream,
"Insanity, think happy thoughts!" Tray yells, blasting her icicle with flames.
She screams in pain. I think happy thoughts but I still feel panic in myself. Later, I see that Lunatic Luna is gone. I take a deep breath. Des destroys the big boulder and I get up. I see that Havoc was fetched by John and is now gone.
"I'm sorry for that." I apologize.
"It's okay. You did put on quite a show back there." Dark smirks, "I didn't expect to see her though."
"You owe me some answers though." Des says.
"Okay, questions?" I ask,
"Who was that?" She asks,
"Lunacy, my guardian. There was something wrong at the transforming process that affected her. She would become a killing monster every time I feel a bad emotion." I answer.
"Okay? How come I only know about her now? How come I'm not the first?" She asks,
"I may have frozen John in the getting to know your psycho killer part, so I called Tray over to help defrost him and he needed an explanation too. Dark asked me this morning." I tell her.
"Okay....." She says,
"I think we have to run. Fast." Tray tugs our arms and starts running.
"Why?!" Des and I ask, synchronized.
"Look behind you!" Dark shouts, running away as well.
We do look behind us. A big, horrible tornado was heading towards us. We start running towards the lake where some bears decided to retreat into their caves.
"Inferno, die in hell!" An extremely furious Chaos screams.
"Never!" Inferno screams back,
"Very well, we shall make sure you shall live on Earth dying painfully and slowly because of the apocalypse!" Fear shouts, "But that doesn't mean we can't mess you up first!"
I find an empty cave where my team takes shelter in. We hide while the other team continues their little spat. I want to take place in it but Tray says it might bring evil Luna back. It quiets down outside. We check. Chaos and Fear are both panting and Inferno seems to have disappeared.
"What happened? Wait, let me guess. Havoc and Inferno teamed up and betrayed you and tried to take you down." I say.
"Yeah. Didn't get Havoc though. I bet he's 'seeking revenge' and raving around the forest hunting us down." Fear waves her hand.
"Nah, bet he won't. He's probably terrified of Insane now." Dark steps in.
"Why?" Chaos asks, I glare at Dark.
"Cause I got skills, brah!" I say, a little too casually.
"Okay?" She laughs, "Sorry about destroying your camp. Can we join you guys?"
"Four girls and two gay over each other guys, not to mention that one is shirtless, on a camp! Sounds typical, let's do it!" Dark yells enthusiastically.
"So, lunch?" Tray asks.
