The Wasp Chronicles #1: Into the Hornet's Nest

Entertainment and Stories

Louis: The cruise was a fabulous cruise. Or at least, it was fabulous from the moment we got on the ship to the time that we sailed.  After we left the Hallmark Hotel in Jacksonville, Florida, we travelled to Tampa and later on, we drove to the airport, but it was too late because when we got there, all of the flights to the Bahamas were cancelled.  So Mr. G. decided that we were going to cruise on a cruise ship from Orlando to the Bahamas.  On the way, we stopped by Universal Studios and rode on some of the rides.  Later, we finally got on the luxurious ship of wonderful adventures.

 We were greeted with great hospitality.  Clément, Sophie, Stella, Sapphirine (she's a shy freshman who is part German and is also one of my friends), Blossom Fez, Kelly, Jacques, Helen, Joel, Joey Newton( He graduated last year), Bruce Ray (also graduated), Justin L. Tom (also graduated last year), and I, along with the other band members, played our instruments for the other passengers.  Blossom Fez was extraordinary on her alto saxophone and Joey was killing it on the traps (drums).  Later on, we all ate dinner.  They served a variety of gourmet entrees like crème de la crepe a la mode, honey-glazed rotisserie-style chicken, Japanese teriyaki flounder, and more. "That's the same mysterious girl that Zeke had frightened." Clément told me as he pointed to a blonde girl who was sitting down. I told him that we should meet her.  We decided to go talk to her.  As we were approaching her, Zeke went towards her.  "Aren't you that girl we saw in that office building where that guy broke in?" He asked.  She pretended to ignore him, but he kept asking her questions.  "Back off Zeke!"Clément told him with his fists clenched and a crazy look on his face.  "Calm down Clément.  I'll leave her alone." Zeke responded cautiously backing away. After Zeke left, Clément and I started a conversation with her.

"My name is Amy and I'm a freshman at L.E.H.S."She explained.  "What were you doing in the building?" I asked her. "I-I-I...was in the barren office building following a stray yellow kitten because...I love kittens.  I lost track of the kitten in the building.  Instead of finding the cuddly cat, I ran into this strange bald headed man.  Before I could scream, the odd-looking bald man grabbed me and clasped one of his huge hands over my mouth.  Thinking quickly, I bit down on his giant hand that was over my mouth and ran while he was screaming in pain.  I chose to hide behind an old, wooden crate, but the eerie stranger came with a crowbar in his hand.  I ran from the crate into Clément, Marc, and Zeke, who tried to attack me.  I screamed as loud as I could and the man heard it and ran off.  Then I ran away." "Well, lucky for you, you ran into them because if you had run into that creepy crook instead, it could have been a different outcome." I told her.

            Unexpectedly, I spotted the sinister culprit that Clément and Amy had vividly depicted to me, but I also got a glimpse of Stella pursuing him and I decided I was just seeing things and that I needed to relax.  So, I kept it to myself.  I went to my room and went to bed.  Matters were only going to get considerably stranger for our group.
