Our Hidden World

Chapter 29

Brooklyn's P.O.V:

Josie and I are in my room sitting Indian style on my floor talking about random things like books we read and movies we want to see when I finally ask, "What are we going to do about Regina?"

"I was thinking about that. I thought ahead and brought some of the stuff she left at our house. It's doubtful that they were sloppy enough to leave a strong enough scent trail but since a vast majority of the people here are werewolves, we can try scent tracking."

"Ok, we can do that tomorrow. Forget about Regina now. What is going on with you and Eli." I wiggle my eyebrows. She looks away and sighs. "You know you're going to have to talk sometime right? You've stepped around it for almost a year now." Just then we hear a crash outside the room and Eli and Asher come running into the room tripping over each other. They slam the door close and sag against it breathing hard. We stare at them.

"Those... kids... are... monsters." Asher says breathless. Josie and I look at each other and start laughing hysterically. "Why are you guys laughing?! This is a serious matter!" We laugh harder.

"You guys are scared of a bunch of kids?" Josie asks.

"They are not kids they are monsters. They're like mini Godzillas." Eli says. At this point I'm rolling on the floor laughing.

Eli's P.O.V:

After the fight/training session Asher and I head into the entertainment room that we saw earlier during the tour, to watch a movie. Finally after some searching we find a movie that's not Little Mermaid, Twilight or anything like that. I pop Battleship into the DVD player and turn on the t.v. I fall onto the couch with Asher. Half way through the movie a group of 10 kids come into the room. I look at Asher and sigh. Well there goes the thought of relaxing and watching a movie in peace, I think. A boy that seems to be the oldest and the leader of the group walks over to the t.v and turns off our movie and starts watch Avatar: the Last Airbender.

"Hey!" Asher yells, "We were watching a movie."

"Well now you're not." He says in a voice that you can just hear that he's rubbing it in our faces how he has the upper hand. Asher snatches the remote from my hands.

"I will use this." He threatens.

I sigh, "Really Asher really. The best you could do was quote Tangled?" He shrugs. The boy starts laughing.

"Oh no! A remote! I'm so scared!" He feigns fright then cracks up.

"Just turn our movie back on." I say.

He straightens up and puts on a serious face, "No." Sighing I get up and walk quickly to the T.V. switching the movie on.

"There." I say and sit back down. Just as I get comfortable, the T.V. is switched back to The Last Airbender just in time to see Aang fall off a fire bender ship into the water below, after getting hit by Zuko.

"Ok, that's it." I hit the couch with my hands as I get up and rip out the power cord. If we can't watch our movie then they can't watch their stupid t.v. show. At the same time all the kids heads whip to face me. They look at me then down to the cord in my hand and back up to me. I gulp. Oh shit.

"Get 'em!" A girl, that looks to be eight, yells. I see half the group go after Asher who is scrambling over the couch and the other half come running at me like bulls. I drop the cord and run after Asher out into the hallway. We turn left and run down the hallway tripping over each other, we can hear the horde of kids behind us. I look back and see that we're gaining some ground. Asher and I finally get to the stairwell and scramble up them as fast as we can. If we can just get to one of our rooms we should be safe. Not paying attention I run right into a wall then bounce off of it into a table. Why the heck do they have a table in the middle of the hallway! I think as Asher grabs me to get me off the floor. We start running again when I notice that we are coming up on Brooke's room. We can just hide there!

"Go into Brooke's room. Brooke's room!" Asher fumbles with opening the door. We fall into the room and slam the door shut. I look up as we're leaning up against the back of the door and try to catch our breaths. Brooke and Josie are sitting on the floor obviously trying to hold in their laughter.

"Those... kids... are... monsters." Asher says in between pants. Josie and Brooke start laughing hysterically. "What are you guys laughing at?! This is a serious matter!" They're laughing so hard Brooke has tears running down her face.

"You guys are scared of a bunch of kids?" Josie asks.

"They are not kids they are monsters. They're like mini Godzillas." I says. At this point Brooke is laughing so hard she's rolling on the hard gasping for breath.

"I don't see what's so funny about this. We almost got beat to death by a horde of kids and you guys are laughing like this is one of Nyssa's stories!" They had finally settled down a bit but once I reminded them about one of Nyssa's mom's failed attempts at doing something in the kitchen they were thrown into another fit of laughter. I roll my eyes and decide that I better sit down cause it seems it might be a while till they calm down. Five minutes later Brooke and Josie have finally calmed down.

"I have a question." Brooke says, "What did you run into/break while you were being chased by the 'mini Godzilla's'?" I look down embarrassed. Either she heard me run into the wall or she knows me too well.

"The wall..." I say quietly. I can't even imagine how red my face is right now, "...and a table." She burst out laughing again.

"You ran into a wall and a table?! Oh that's just to funny."

"Technically I ran into the wall and the table just happened to be at the wrong spot at the wrong time." I try to downplay it but Asher has also started laughing with Brooke.

"Aww poor Eli. It's ok, we all know how Brooke tends to trip over flat surfaces. Plus she went through a phase a few years back where she couldn't go a day without running into something," Josie tells me, trying to make me feel better. Which it does.

"Yeah, let's bring that topic up." Brooke mumbles under her breathe. I hear laughter coming from outside then the door opening to show Nyssa laughing and Max talking in different voices while making funny and weird faces.

Closing the door Max asks, "Why is there a group of kids staked outside the door and why does it look like a stampede of bulls ran through the hallway?" Asher balks. My faces losses its color. Brooke walks up to me and pats my back.

"You're going to have to face the music sometime. So get on your big boy pants, walk out there, and pray they don't kill you." She says.
