The Leolf Trilogy- #1 Awakening of Chaos

Chapter 13 - Misunderstandings

>Alexa's POV<

All of us were sitting and having dinner together.
This ship was much smaller than the previous one and less crowded. Our rooms were not as luxurious, but it was pretty nevertheless.

We had told the boys about "Mr. Anonymous" and for some reason, they didn't look shocked as we expected them to be.
Instead, they just exchanged glances and remained silent.

Did one of THEM do it?!

"Where were you people when the lights went out?!", I asked suspiciously.

"Katylin and I were in my room. She was helping me with the bandages."
Mike looked at me meaningfully.

It feels like he is trying to tell me something with his eyes....

Feeling uncomfortable, I looked at David and Victor.

"We were on the deck, listening to music and enjoying the night."
Victor looked like he was telling the truth.

Then who could have done it?!

After dinner, as everyone left for their rooms, I decided to stay up on the deck a little while longer. Obviously, my friends were against the idea. So, I decided to sneak out after they went to bed.

I make my own rules... even if they are ridiculously dangerous.
How I wish I had an Invisibility Cloak....

It was a little after midnight when I decided that it was safe for me to sneak out without getting caught.
Luckily, nobody was there on the deck.

I stood stargazing, humming the tune of one of my favourite songs.

Suddenly, I started getting goosebumps all over.

Shit! Someone is here?!

I quickly turned around and bumped into Mike.

"Oh my gosh! It was you! I freaked out for a moment...."
I stood gasping for breath.

"I thought a good scare will do you good. What exactly are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

"Actually, I could ask you the same."

"Well, I sort of expected that you would sneak out. After all, you make your own rules, even if they are ridiculously dangerous. So, I thought of checking on you. Since you weren't in your room, I came up here."

WHAT THE HELL?! Can he read minds or something?!

"Oh... I actually came up here for a bit of fresh air to clear my head....
How is your hand by the way?"
I hoped he didn't notice my effort to distract him.

"I guess it's healing. I'm lucky he didn't bite. Wasn't really planning on spending my entire life howling at the moon and scaring pretty girls..."
He smirked at me. It was the first time I had seen him close to smiling.

Damn! No wonder why Katie is behind him..... a smile like that can melt any girl's heart....

"Oh... uh... I guess you're right. Thanks for saving me that day...."
I couldn't help blushing. I hope he didn't notice it in the dim light.

"You're blushing... aren't you?!", he said, trying to hide a smile.

Ugh! Does he have HD vision or what?!
