Animosity: Undead

Chapter 16

The future PoV

''What about the history, Grandma?''

''Ah. Our Professor drilled that to our brains.''

''Where is he?''

''He died. 23 years ago because of old age. He quitted being a Professor months after that happened.''

''The history, grandma.''

''Okay. The history of recreational camping is often traced back to Thomas Hiram Holding, a British travelling tailor, but. it was actually first popularised in the UK on the river Thames. Possibly the first commercial camping ground in the world was Cunningham's camp, near Douglas, Isle of Man, which opened in 1894. In 1906, the Association of Cycle Campers opened its first own camping site, in Weybridge. By that time the organization had several hundred members. In 1910 the Association was merged into the National Camping Club. Although the First World War was responsible for a certain hiatus in camping activity, the association received a new lease of life after the war when Sir Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts movement, became its president in 1919.By the 1880s, large numbers of visitors took part in the pastime, which was connected to the late Victorian craze for pleasure boating. Although Thomas Hiram Holding is often seen as the father of modern camping in the UK, he was responsible for popularising a different type of camping in the early twentieth century. He experienced the activity in his youth, when he had spent much time with his parents traveling across the American prairies. Later he embarked on a cycling and camping tour with some friends across Ireland. Camping is also labeled by lifestyle: Glamping, the glamorous camping, combines camping with the luxury and amenities of a home or hotel, and has its roots in the early 1900s European and American safaris in Africa. Workamping allows campers to trade their labor variously for discounts on campsite fees, campground utilities, and even some degree of pay. Migrant camps are formed not for recreation, but as a temporary housing arrangement. Campgrounds for custom harvesters in the United States may include room to park combines and other large farm equipment. Camping is also popular at air shows, notably at the Oshkosh air show where people often camp in a small tent under their aircraft's wing....''

''History is boring, Grandma...'' she yawned.

''Ah. That's what he always say too.''

''Who?''

''No one.''

Levy's PoV

These two are disgusting.

''Eeeewwwww...'' I said in disgust. So they lied about having relationships from foreign lands?

''Incest..........Liars.......'' was all I could say as I descned from the stairs.

''Ah. Finally!''

''Huh?'' I asked as I heard Niccolo exclaimed.

''What is it?'' Loke asked and we gather around Niccolo. In front of him is a stair...I think...to lower grounds.

''A secret emergency passage. This s**t is a laboratory, as I thought.''

''What's the use of this for finding Kris?'' I asked. It's obviously no help to us.

''There's something fishy in this building. And the company came from the WIC's.''

''And so? That s**t is long gone now. The WIC company got nothing to do with this!''

''Oh yes there is!'' Niccolo suddenly said.

''Wh-What?'' I ask.

''WIC company is hiding this humungous secret that we even I doesn't know about that!''

''Kris is not connected to this. Obviously.''

''Well...it's a fifty-fifty chance though.''

''What?!''

''Kris might have gotten in the deep woods which is just only hmmmm....half kilometers away? A secret passage of a laboratory leads to a path which is a shortcut for disposing things, such as dead lab rats.''

''And?'' I am pissed right now.

''I'll use that 2 percent chance to find a path that may help us to find Kris.''

''Okay.'' I just agreed. If it's for Kris, then I'll gladly accept ridiculous ideas.

''Loke...flashlight, please and some extra batteries.''

''Got that, Nic.'' Mika just sat beside me.

''Kris will be back. You know he will.'' she comforted me.

He will back. Kris. I know he will.

Niccolo's PoV

It's almost 2 in the midnight.

Where is that secret passage? I kept talking to myself as I searched for a secret passage along with this rubbishes and boulders. Sticks and bricks. This building is created by the WIC. William Inregue Croosevelte is the owner of WIC and also the mayor of this town. The whole Sciroco is rotating in his hand. But 8 years ago, while I was hiking towards the spot where I lost Lucy, I saw a smoke. I thought that it was just a bonfire which I didn't think about. But now that I remember it, this was the location, we walked the same location as where that smoke, who would've thought it would be this shitty place.

There is something fishy about WIC now. And a certain thought about this freaking idea.

I knock for a couple of times to ensure a space between the ground.

And a few minutes, I found a cavity. I removed the remaining stones covering it and found a lever. ''This is it.'' I opened it with all my strength. And a stair greeted me.

''Ah. Finally!'' I feast with happiness. Please be a good idea.

''Huh?'' I heard Levy as she descend from the stairs. She must've known the twins secret by now, which I've known for a couple of months now.

''What is it?'' Loke asked and the three gathered 'round me.

''A secret emergency passage. This s**t is a laboratory, as I thought.''

''What's the use of this for finding Kris?'' Levy asked, she might be thinking that this is no use for us.

''There's something fishy in this building. And the company came from the WIC's.'' I bluntly said, looking at her eyes.

''And so? That s**t is long gone now. The WIC company got nothing to do with this!''

''Oh yes there is!'' YES! because a stupid idea popped in my head in which I beleive should be false.

''Wh-What?'' she asked.

''WIC company is hiding this humungous secret that we even I doesn't know about that!''

''Kris is not connected to this. Obviously.''

''Well...it's a fifty-fifty chance though.''

''What?!''

''Kris might have gotten in the deep woods which is just only hmmmm....half kilometers away? A secret passage of a laboratory leads to a path which is a shortcut for disposing things, such as dead lab rats.'' I lied. Levy is not that smart.

''And?'' she's pissed right now.

''I'll use that 2 percent chance to find a path that may help us to find Kris.''

''Okay.'' I just agreed. If it's for Kris, then I'll gladly accept ridiculous ideas.

''Loke...flashlight, please and some extra batteries.'' I asked.

''Got that, Nic.'' Mika sat beside Levy. Thank you, secretary.

''Kris will be back. You know he will.'' she comforted her.

''Kris will be back. He always finds his way just to go to you. Your lucky.'' I said. I hoped my words comforted her. I care for my members much. The second I care about next to Lucy. Third is myself.

''Be careful, Niccolo. Should I come with you?'' Levy suggested.

''Nah. Just stay here.'' You might see something gross.

''Okay.''

''Here's the things you asked for, Nic. Be careful under, Nic. I can't stand you being missing too.''

''I will, Loke. I will.''
