FATE: Damaged Fate (Hiatus)

Chapter 3: 30° Celsius

Crystal's P.O.V.

"Look! A banana tree!" I said as I pointed at the tree. Of course, the four of us are together.

Irsu went forward. "Sure, how are we supposed to cut it off?" she asked while moving forward and hitting the tree softly with her knuckles.

Oh right, they took away our 'HARMFUL THINGS'. I wish I had my swiss.

"Can't you just cut it without any sharp things," Anastasia suggested and may I tell you in our circumstance, it's a very very very useful suggestion. What's the use of cutting an object without a particularly sharp object? At this thought, Irsu stared at Anastasia dumbfounded then clicked her tongue and looked around.

"Can we help?"

I immediately froze and so did everyone else, Anastasia and Eya covered their mouth not in shock but in amazement. Calcifer was in front of Irsu, ready to cut some leaves while William is on my side. He grabbed both of my shoulders and led me to a fallen log to sit on.

"Let us take care of it," his icy cold voice suddenly transformed to something warm and sweet. His face looked so soft and fragile.

What?

Anastasia and Eya sat beside me both stars trucked and speechless.

"He looks really handsome," Eya whispered as if she worshiped the ground where William walked on.

William effortlessly pulled one leaf at a time from the tree.

"Is this enough?" he shouted.

I looked at Eya and raised an eyebrow then to Anastasia and we nodded. William dropped the bundle of leaves on the ground near us.

"More than enough," Irsu answered as she sat between Eya and Anastasia. She's probably surprised that Calcifer stood in front of her earlier coming from nowhere.

The silence is everywhere. Even in our place, Anastasia is quietly enjoying the view of Emmette picking up rocks while Eya is staring into space again.

The other camps aren't that far from us but they all seemed settled already. Well, the other girls and some boys are still having a hard time to gather some leaves.

"Are you not going to help the rest...of the girls?" Irsu finally said.

It somehow struck the twins. Calcifer brushed his hair and William gazed his eyes somewhere else.

Anastasia smiled teasingly, "Well, go now...we're not the only girls around here."

"I'm guessing that the other guys needs some help too." Eya muttered. Her head turned around to study the people around us.

The twins nodded simultaneously. "I guess...we'll go," William said shyly. Calcifer followed him as they walk away from us. As soon as they left, Eya and Anastasia started making a fuss.

"Anything to say to us?" Anastasia nudged Irsu's side with her elbow.

"Like what?" Irsu asked uninterestedly.

"Why are the two boys seemed to be interested in you," Eya smiled widely at me.

I eyed Irsu in hopes that she knows an answer but she remained silent on her seat.

The night is going to be long.

Sick. I feel sick or not or yes? Maybe? I don't know; maybe because we ate fried crickets that were forced to us by William to eat. But the others enjoyed it... a lot.
