ANOTHER STORY ANOTHER TIME

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN * UHCHARTED STORMS

As team two started through the overgrown grass and weeds, Stiles looked up abruptly, there was a lightning strike way off in the distance. Tapping the device in his ear,

"Chris, I'm sure you saw that?" Chris tapped his earpiece and looked back to the ground,

"We did, I even checked the weather satellite, there is no cloud cover showing!" Stiles looked at Pavel,

"Ok, this has to somehow be supernatural." Pavel looked at him,

"Then I'm glad you are here to help me get through this reality." Scott nestled up next Stiles as he tromped through the high grass,

"You realize once we get home you have a lot to fill me in on." at that Stiles smiled and looked at him,

"I promise once things settle down, I will tell you everything." Scott looked at Ethan,

"You to buddy." Ethan nodded an okay and continued on the pathway.

As both groups trek further, the cloud cover becomes denser and it became even darker, then the rain started falling. It was turning into a severe electrical storm. After twenty minutes of pelting rain, both teams were soaked completely through to the skin, and were having trouble seeing in front of them. Now the dirt pathways were drained away, and the men had to rely on their own intuition. Stiles could see the loop to the coaster, he figured the station was approximately seventy-five yards from it. They were not far now. He was anxious to get there, but he was trained to follow orders, and he was no longer in charge, he had kneeled down waiting for the others, and needed to maintain discipline by working as a team, not rogue. Scott moved over and knelt next to Stiles,

"Do you feel like there is presence right there in front of you, but you can't make it out?" Stiles looked at him,

"Yes, it's almost familiar but different or even like someone is watching us." Ethan joined them,

"Hey guys do...." But before he could get into it,

"Yes, it's not evil though but familiar." Stiles whispered, as Pavel joined them with Liam in tow.

The thunder was louder and more of a mechanical sound then the typical crash, then another intense lightning strike hit the ground near them, the bolt hit a munition and the device exploded send dirt, mud and debris into the air.

"Team two there was an explosion, are you alright?" Stiles tapped his earpiece,

"We are fine it was hit by lightning, about thirty feet away."

Now the rain was in a down pour. Liam moved forward to get under a large cover, as Scott went to join him, he was hit in the face with a rusty chain hanging down, as he moved to the left to go around it, he hit another then decided to kneel as he finished his trip to get next to Liam. Stiles, Pavel and Ethan walked up next to the two men who were standing there.

"This is the old swings, the Flying Zephyr." Scott looked at him,

"How did you know that? The sign is disintegrated." Stiles got close to his ears, "I looked up the schematics to the park, and memorized the area where we would be traversing." Scott slapped Stiles in the back,

"Brother I'm glad some things never change.

Chris's entire group looked at the sky, there was no sign that the storm was ever going to end. Chris looked at his pad at the same time, but there was no sign that the storm even exists. The storm increased with winds growing, the pavement was be covered with rivers of mud and washed away plants. Chris's team was almost fifty yards out, but Pavel's and Stiles' team was having the worst time going against the wind and the rainfall hitting them in the face.
