Hidden

Chapter 15

The most intense weekend was finally over for the group. They survived a night of hell from a supernatural being, and they were allowed to live as long as they didn't prove its existence to the world. When Aiden, Maya, Gill, T.T., Isa, Reginald, Milo, Reuben, Benedict, Clint, and Bianca returned back to the town, they didn't dare say a thing about Entity 303. They were questioned by the townsfolk and the other guards, but they didn't say anything about Entity 303. Instead, they said that their camping trip got out of hand due to mobs, and they found evidence that the missing tourists were dead, but no clue to how.

Once they made it home, the group decided that they'd spend the day recovering before going back to their usual, daily lives. Aiden and Maya stayed home, trying to destress. Isa, Milo, and Reginald spent their last day off taking a day long nap, since they didn't get any sleep the night before. Reuben went home back to the New Order of the Stone, but Benedict asked if she could go with him because she didn't want to be away from him just yet. Gill escorted T.T. back home to her world, and he was even offered to stay the night at her house so that he and T.T. could find full disclosure from the night of hell. As for Clint and Bianca, they took Bianca's horses back to the farm, and they decided that they'd do farming and have a sleepover at Bianca's house to forget about the traumatic night.

At Bianca's house, Clint and Bianca were hanging out in the stable, feeding the horses.

"You alright?" Clint asked her.

Bianca smiled nervously at him.

"Yeah. I'm alright. It'll be hard to forget, but I'll find disclosure," she said.

Clint smiled at her.

"I'm just glad that you didn't die. I... I don't want to lose you..." he said.

"That... that reminds me. Clint, were you serious when you said you love me?" asked Bianca.

Clint blushed. He didn't smile. He didn't even look at Bianca in the eye. Instead, he looked down.

"Y-y... yes..." he said with a sigh.

"So... you like me as more than a friend..." said Bianca.

It wasn't even a question.

Clint looked up at Bianca. He couldn't tell how she was feeling, or what she was thinking.

"I... I understand if you don't want to be more than friends..." he said quietly.

Bianca walked up to him, and to Clint's shock, she kissed him on the lips. Clint blushed in a bright shade of red, but he slowly returned the kiss and closed his eyes.

After what felt like forever, they pulled apart, smiling nervously at each other.

"I've been... wanting to do that for a while..." Bianca said, blushing.

Clint couldn't think of anything to say. He smiled nervously at her and blushed.

Bianca chuckled and smiled back.

At the New Order of the Stone's temple, Reuben was home. He got greeted by the new order when they gave him tons of hugs. The Jesse twins kept asking him if he was okay, and they even did the same for Benedict. The two children didn't want to answer any questions. Instead, they wanted to go upstairs to Reuben's room and forget about the traumatic experience they had.

Reuben and Benedict were tired, but they could get some rest. At least not yet. To let go of the intense feeling, they decided to play their instruments.

At one point, Benedict couldn't play anymore.

"You okay?" Reuben asked her.

Benedict smiled sadly at him.
