Edward and the Jampires

Chapter 4

The bus pulls back to the edge of the forest and the band gets out. "Why do we have to practice in a forest," Edward grumbles as his foot gets caught on a rock."The battle is not in a gym or a dance studio. It is in the middle of a gnarly forest, and we need every advantage that we can get," explains V as they make their way through the woodlands."This is taking much too long, we could be there in ten seconds, guys!" RM says as he rushes to Edward who freezes in confusion. Rm throws him across his shoulders and bolts at inhuman speeds. Edward wonders who is screaming until he realizes that in fact, it is him. The rest of the bandmates follow close behind until they are in a clearing. "That's more like it, spider monkey!" RM exclaims as he puts Edward down who then falls to his knees."Some warning would have been greatly appreciated," he says. His head is still spinning but he gets back onto two feet. "Let's get started then," Suga calls out as they get into formation around Edward."Ummm, I don't know what I'm doing!" Edward calls out but the music starts anyway."Just follow along! You will be fine!" V calls out, and somehow, he was. It was as if he was born to dance with the group. His feet knew where to go and he blended seamlessly with their voices. When the music stopped, they were all breathless and stared at him in awe. J-Hope elbows Jimin before speaking between labored breaths. "I told you, he was meant to be here," he says but Jimin just glares. Jin responds."It's true. This is your path and you would have ended up here regardless". Edward still tries to catch his breath as the rest of the sensitive-hearing vampires hear a rustling in the woods."I smell trouble," says V as they hear the mysterious figures approach them. Two people emerge and the six vampires all share a glance."Johnny Suh, Skye, what brings you to Forks?" Jin asks as he narrows his eyes. Johnny smirks. "Don't worry about us, we have nothing against you. We may have to battle, but we are really on the same team," Johnny says as he laughs off Jin's skepticism."Be that as it may, we cannot afford to lose. Not again," Jin whispers. Edward's brow furrows. "Will someone please explain this?" Edward pleads, but while tensions may be lowered, it is clear that something more is going on."We also wanted to meet the new kid," Skye says as she approaches Edward and shakes his hand."What are you? You're not a vampire," He questions as her warm hands contrast the chilly air."Werewolves, sweetheart. You think your cold friends are fast? Just wait!" She says as she winks at him. Johnny chuckles, but soon stops after the cold air rapidly grows even chillier. "Dammit!" He calls out as thick snowflakes soon begin to fall. "It's Him, isn't it..." screams V over the heavy winds and shaking trees. "We need to get to the bus!" he calls again and all of them rush to the doors. The sky turns nearly dark and the temperature drops below zero as they make it inside."What was that?" Edward asks through the chattering of his teeth."'That' is why we have the battle, and 'that' is why we needed to find you," J-Hope responds. Edward feels a sinking feeling in his stomach as the reality of what he got into. "This will not be a pleasant night," V says over the thunderous storm outside."And it looks like we are stuck with you all," Skye says with faint amusement."So it appears".
