Jordan's POV

" I hope she is alright because if not Daxton is gonna rip his own head off and we'll be next in line. She absolutely cannot be in some kind of trouble."

" Don't worry J. She will be fine because she is smart and I'm sure we'll find her soon." Brandon assured me.

We poked around the forest for a while to check if everything is safe and alright if in any case we are forced to spend the night here. I was thinking about Kristen the whole time.

"Jordan. Over here" Brandon called out to me.

I jogged over to see why Brandon had called me but a second later a found myself smiling from one ear to the other.

"This is great Brandon. Absolutely awesome" I say looking at the big leaning stone which can be used as a makeshift shelter if we have to spend the night.

Brandon suddenly started looking up and around and quickly went into a alert stance.I heard slight rustling between the trees. It could just be the wind or some wild animal but then the rustling became more prominent.

We both stood side by side as we heard something come closer and closer. And just absolutely out of thin air something came from behind the leaning rock and pounced on me, knocking me off my feet.

It was not an animal. Definitely a person. My eyes were covered and on top of that it was almost dark. I couldn't see anything.

I could hear Brandon laughing as he suddenly pulled the person off of me and then only it dawned on me.

"Jesus Kristen. I was ready to......" I was interrupted when she tackled me to the ground once more.

"You don't know how happy I am to see you both. I thought I was lost" she said hugging me tight and pulling Brandon in for a group hug.

"You are safe now. Don't cry." I said patting her.

She punched me in my stomach " Who said I was crying, I was very happy to see you guys"

I couldn't stop myself from being happy even though I just got punched in the guts.

Feisty

"You had quite the nerve to just randomly run off into the forest when you don't know where you were going." Brandon scolded her.

"I am sorry. I just didn't think about it  and just did it"

Kristen's POV

'' I thought I got lost and was thinking that maybe I was going around in circles. But then I heard someone talking, I was ready to literally pounce then I saw it was you guys. I could have just normally come out... But wheres the fun in doing that. so--" I was interrupted

Brandon said with the slightest smile "You decided to have a bit of fun in trying to confuse and and get a bit of entertainment out of it."

His small smiles are the best. It makes one wonder if this small smile can be so overwhelming then what about all other expressions?

Geez. This guys breaks all my defenses by merely teasing me with a few expressions. Is it on purpose or is he totally oblivious of his powers.

"Are you okay muffin? Do you think you got followed or something ?"

" Ya, I'm fine. The chances are pretty low that I got followed. I was on alert mode the whole time." I said dusting my dress.

"Those shoes must be killing you right now. Take them off." Jordan said coming close and bending down to help me with my shoes.

"Nope, these are perfect for a running in the forest. If I knew this was gonna happen I would have definitely dug through all my shoes to find the highest one." I said taking my shoes off which sent a sharp pang of pain in my ankles.

" Okay. Now can you tell me what happened at the party and why was Chuck there with armed men. This is so confusing, someone has to clear all this up or else I'm gonna burst with confusion." I said facing Jordan.

Jordan just kept on looking at me without saying a single word with a small frown on his forehead. It was pretty clear that he didn't want to tell me. He shifted his eyes towards Brandon and doing the same I was looking at Brandon too for some answers which I need desperately.

" We can rest here for the night. It already pretty dark and we all need some rest and Kristen is in pain. I'll go get something to make a bed out of." He just completely ignored me and turned around as if I asked him nothing at all. He dodged the question.

As if I'd let him do that. He has to answer me.

I walked quickly went in front of him with spread arms to stop him from going any further. He just walked right past me which made me furious and I pulled on his shirt. He turned around and grabbed me by the shoulders and looked dead straight into my eyes and whispered "Not now Kristen" and walked off.

I stood there for a while only trying to figure out whether he was angry or calm. Whatever his mood was, he was able to freeze me in my tracks which was a feat that could only be achieved by Dax.

No one said anything after that. Brandon came with some heather back which we used to make small beds and  with the help of Jordan's lighter made a small fire to keep us warm through the night. I don't know why he had a lighter with him because I  know he doesn't smoke but whatever.

It took me quite a while to fall asleep. I kept  turning and fidgeting because  the bed was not so comfortable and was itchy but better than the cold hard ground and my head was filled with thoughts and scenes that happened earlier today. I didn't know whether the boys were asleep or not as Brandon's back was towards me but I somehow didn't dare to strike up a conversation.

I hope Dax is safe.

A/N-  Hello Wattpadians! I hope your day is going fantabulous.

Anyways, what do you think about this chapter? When will Kristen finally get to know the truth? Is she going to be alright with those perfect-for-the-forest heels??

Nobody knows ( of course I do), so lets stay tuned and find out what happens next  in TLB.

Until next time,

Avni ;)
