Animosity: Undead

Chapter 10

3rd Person's PoV

Start. My brothers starts the engines on their motorbikes. I saw Niccolo's group walking straight to the lake of Varnalla. That place is near.

''Destroy their tents. I'll go to the radio tower.''

''Yes. We got that.'' My brother said.

I'm destroying this day Niccolo. I rode my motorbike downhill and went straight to the radio tower. Hope you feel my anger for what I will do in this special date.

''Niccolo...I prayed every night that you'll look at me the way you looked at Lucy. I wish that you'll love me the same affection you have given her. I want you that badly.'' I murmured to myself. I arrive at the radio tower. I sneak my way in to the radio station. Be ready now, Camp Club.

Niccolo's PoV

The group above us is very suspicious in which I decided for us to go at the Lake Varnalla. It's now frozen but we have the equipments for digging and fishing.

"Guys!Listen up." I got their attention. I am thankful that I have friends like them. It's saddening that I haven't fully accepted Lucy's death after thirteen freaking years.

She herself is my haven. I never missed a day to visit her grave except when the club is away camping. I love Lucy that much.

" What?"

Jean replied.

"The first activity for our camping is Fishing. Around three we should be there.I wanna repeat. This afternoon, it's fishing time. Got that?" I said.

They already know that Lake Varnalla is the only fishing spot here. I called Loke.

''Yes." He answered. Spacing out from a distance. He noticed the silhouttes too.

"You're spacing out." I said. I do not want him to worry. This is Lucy's birthday.

"Yea kinda." He answered, still looking at the silhouttes position.

"Prepare your fishing tools." Please do not waste your time for those, Loke.

"Huh--? Why?" I sighed.

"You really wasn't listening."

He bit his tongue.

"Were fishing this afternoon. Help your girlfriend." I said.

I entered my tent and prepared my things. I finished my things and got out. ''I'm the single one in this club.'' These people are flirting with each other.

''Okay. Guys, you done?'' I ask. Swaying the thought of being the only single person in the group.

And so our first activity was completed. We rode our motorbikes as we climb the mountain again. And a horrible scenery greet us in our site.

''What the...'' was all I say as the sight emerges into my eyes. The tents were folded like a heavy wind bended it down, the bags scattered everywhere.

Our canned foods is half buried in the snow. Jackets and shirts also flew out of the tent.

''What the f**k happened here?'' Jean cursed.

I rushed to my tent, hoping my one and only photo of Lucy was not touched. I ran through my bag and...her photo was not there.

''s**t!'' I screamed my anger. Where is it? Where is it?

I looked everywhere and still...I cannot find it.

''Nic, I got her.'' Loke screamed. I rush towards him.

''She's here. She's here, Niccolo.'' Loke comforted me as he gave me Lucy's photo.

''Thanks, Loke.''

It took us an hour to clean the mess.

''What could've happen here?'' Levy ask.

''Seems like a strong wind took care of this.'' Kris answered. I looked at Jean who seems to be opposing Kris assumptions.

''What's the matter, Jean?'' I ask. We look at her. Are those two silhouttes the cause of this?

''There's a mistake in this situation. A strong wind can blew this whole thing up but it can never open a close backpack and blew Lucy's pic.'' She said.

Jean's right. Something is off here.

*bleeep*bleeep*

All our radios turned on.

''All hikers are requested to climb down the mountain within two hours. We just received a warning from NATWEATHS that a hurricane will be hitting our town in 7 hours and so we request that all hikers will get down in two hours. This is the radio station. I repeat please be down in two hours.''

Then it turned off.

''You heard the speaker.'' I said and walk towards my tent, starting to pack up.

''It came from NATWEATHS.'' Levy said.

''Why is the news from NATWEATHS too late to arrive here at our town?'' Kris added. Dean is being silent. Loke is assisting Mika with their things.

Why would a hurricane hit these area? In this location on a special day? Suspi---

''Let's pack our things up.'' Loke said. He must've noticed my disappointment...

''Kris, can you get the map?'' I ask. It'll be dark soon... Going down at these hour is not safe.

''What would you need it for?''

''We'll go for a shortcut. It's almost dark. Plus, our water supply was scattered right when we got back.''

''So we're going to the waterfall?'' Jean easily read my mind.

''Yes, we will. Now ready your backs. This will be a long journey.''

5 in the afternoon and our hike starts. The darkness started to lurk, slowing our journey towards the waterfall.

''Why didn't we get down with the path we had when we got up?'' Levy ask.

Yes, of course, it's her first time here to hike.

''The path we used when we got up is dangerous when going down, an avalanche might surprise us from behind. Just like what happened 13 years ago.'' Dean informed her why.

''So...we will walk this path.'' I said. s**t. This is longer than I thought.

With hurricane coming up, my brain couldn't be calm.

The wind grew stronger as we walk deeper in the forest.

''What time is it now, Mika?'' I ask.

''7 in the evening.''

''What?''

7? Then the hurricane should've land by now.

''7 what?''

''7:56, Nic.'' Jean added. ''Niccolo, there's somethings fishy here. It is almost 3 and a half hours now after that warning was said. Our path seems longer than our last hike.''

''Maybe because it's night time that the path seems longer.''

''Nic, use your head. It's planned. Give me that map. SEE?!...'' she pointed something on it.

''The true map had the path walking towards the east. Now, we're completely walking towards south.'' She said and grabbed a compass.

''Indeed...'' Levy said. ''But...how?'' she asked.

''Someone is behind in all of this.'' I said. The thought of them ruining this special day made my anger rose higher than it should be. ''If this is what they want, we will give it to them. My revenge is waiting at the end.'' I said.

As the clock hit 8:34, the waterfall became visbile to us.

''WOAHHHHH!!!'' Levy said in awe.

''Pretty, right?'' Mika said as he grabbed her camera.

''Now, let's replenish our water bottles. we still have a long way to go.''

''How did we end up here when we are heading south with this fake map.'' Jean suddenly said.

I watched the waterfall. Hmmm...

There's....
