The Forest's Kids

Chapter Two: Cabin

"Who did that?", Ali asked in awe, as she stared at the place the teens had lived in for the past few years. Her eyes darted around restlessly, she tried to make out all the damage that was done with just one look.

The door of the small wooden building had been smashed in with an axe or something alike. Two of the windows were to see from the front, both were shattered. Apparently so from the inside, shards of glass were in the dry grass and leaves of the fall. There were different things written over the walls with spray.

"Leave", Ali mumbled," Monsters. Killer. Murderer. No one wants you here. Don't ever come back." The girl read out loud, what the others could see too. She was shaking, they were gone for five hours at most. That was not the doing of a single person.

"I hope it's still fine on the inside", Tae remarked worried, as they carefully hugged Ali, who now was sobbing quietly.

Ryth growled and hissed back:" I hope they didn't find the fucking basement!"

Alistor's eyes got wide as she starred at the cabin. The tears stopped running out of the corners of her eyes, as a low growl came over her lips. Her eyes fixated on the broken door, as she angrily remarked:" They are still here."

A dark grin formed on the faces of each of the awake white haired teens. Ali went into the house quietly, leaving the others outside. She knew they would follow not soon after, and the others knew that Alistor was the quietest one.

As she crept towards the closet, the voices that sounded in the basement became louder. There were at least three people, who at the moment were arguing. The girl didn't care what they were talking about, from what she could tell there were a girl and two boys down under.

The girl quickly slid into the shaft that lead down. At the bottom of the slide, she rolled off her shoulder, in order to be ready to fight as soon as she got to her feet and not get stumped by anything.

Her clothes got wet, there was alcohol on the floor in front of the slide. As Ali came to a stand, she saw eight scared teens around the age she seemed to be. Alistor's lips were pulled back, revealing her perfectly white teeth, as she growled again.

In the big room, there were three girls and five boys, all of them dressed in ridiculous costumes. They stared at the weird girl in shock.

"What are you doing here?", the white haired girl demanded to know.

It was quiet for a bit, all of the teens threw each other uncomfortable glances. After a while, a boy in a dumb pirate costume spoke up:" We, we were just having fun. Drinking and stuff." He sounded even more scared and anxious, as he continued:" Who are you and what are you doing here?"

The girl's back straightened as she stood up right, a dark smile was on her lips, as she replied:" My name is Alistor. We live here."

"We?", a girl with short black hair in a very revealing nurse costume asked carefully, scanning the room again.

Ali laughed as she nodded, and just moments later her friends came down the slide.

"This is a prank!", another girl yelled, panic in her voice as she stumbled back a few steps.

Ryth sighed and asked:" Really Alistor? We're pranking people now?" There was a dark grin on his face, as he looked at all the teenagers in the room, studying all of them carefully.

"No, you probably just look way too scary", Tae shot back sarcastically and rolled their eyes. Then they rubbed their temples with their palms and sighed. "Get out of here, all of you. Never come back. And pray for your life's that Taime did not wake up", they said coldly.

The teenagers nearly fell over each other, as they scrambled back towards the slide. Next to it there was a ladder back upstairs, that the teens now used. Just moments later, Ali could hear their feet pounding on the dry forest ground.

"Morons", the girl sighed and also went on her way back up.

The other two just followed her lead and went back upstairs too.

The cabin wasn't ruined on the inside, except for the broken windows. That seemed to calm Ali, the girl looked around the dark room that was almost completely normal.

"We're not safe here", she suddenly said and faced the floor. Neither Tae nor Ryth were sure if she was scared or angry. "Go to sleep too, I'll look for another place we can stay in", the girl continued, her voice was warm and filled with worry.

"Be careful Baby", Tae replied, they sounded even more worried. They gently pulled Ali into a hug and then kissed her.

"If you don't come back, or die, I will find you and kick your ass. And then I'll do something more", they whispered quietly. Ali's cheeks turned red again, then she kissed Tae again.

"Ryth these two are idiots", she laughed as Tae let go of her again," you're in charge."

The boy she just addressed laughed at Tae's sour face, then Ali left. Not that long later, the three people that were left in the cabin all were asleep.
