The Forbidden Forest

Claire

Jenny stopped her meal and waved her left hand as she saw Ken and Claire walking towards the cafeteria. Marcus looked back at that someone where Jenny's attention was.

Ken on the other hand noticed that Jenny was calling them. He smiled and waved his hands to them while walking towards that place.

As Marcus was staring at Ken and Claire who was coming towards them, he he fixed his gaze at Claire and gave her a nice smiled. Claire walked towards Marcus and sat beside him. Ken tapped the shoulder of Marcus and gave Celyn and Jenny a sweet smile again.

He sat on the chair, Celyn offered some foods to Ken and Claire.

"Ken, Claire, eat with us."

"Thank you Celyn but... Before we arrive, we eat at the restaurant" Ken responded.

"Anyway, our plan to travel at the forbidden forest was been approved, I been proposed it for almost a month and then ... looked we will able to tell anyone what is the true behind that mystery" Ken added

"Good!, Ahmm Ken I had something to tell you" Jenny responsed to Ken.

As she continued, she hold the hands of Celyn and spoke with calmness toward Ken. "Celyn had traumatic experience about something and she can not go with our trip in tommorow."

Ken knowledge was better than the gallant of Marcus so Jenny and even Claire respected Ken as their leader and a smart one.

Celyn stared at Ken and started to tell about the reason of her not to go with them. She wanted to tell early for a reason to not give a false hope to her groupmates.

"Ahmm, Ken actually... There is a problem that happened on me for almost every night and I can make any way to scape on that mare, ahmm if you wish Ken... I will make the whole report if all you came back... I promise that I will make it for our group."

Ken removed his eyeglasses, because he was wearing a anti radiant sun glasses. He rubbed it with clean white handkerchief and wore it again.

He stared at Celyn for a moment and smile. " It sound pretty good Celyn, but because you are still our friend and also a group mates , I will considered it just a valid reason." Ken replied at Celyn with calmness.

As a result, Celyn was so thankful for the responded of Ken toward her, she know how terror was Ken as being a leader and she could not reach her mind why does Ken approved her reasoning, but whatever the reason of Ken, the important was she spent more time with herself. And every question that running out her mind when Ken spoke again with gentleness.

"Guys! Listen!" Ken uttered.

The attention of Marcus, Jenny and Claire as they heard the high tone but with gentleness voice of Ken,

"Celyn will never be with us during our trip at forbidden forest because of some issue that she experience , we know how hard is her situation for now, so... she had freewill to do what she want as our friend and a woman, so for now, we are now only four at the group if Celyn will not be able, but because the professor once said that we must have five members, I will asked Jasmine to be with us because like me, she had many knowledge that we can use if we are in the forest .... The only way we do was to pursuade her to go together with us, if one of you have suggestion please tell me right now!"

"So you mean we need to ask Jasmine first ..so why if she did want to join ...what will happened? Marcus replied to Ken.

Jenny also asked Ken the flows of their activity." Ahmm Ken, I think that we need to plan first our action..ahmm...you know we had two boys and...if Jasmine wish to be with us, we are only have three girls, can we make some persuasive event before we go for the trip? Because according to my own observation, most all of every students wanted to explore something around this world so it's very possible that many of them will go, and you know...ahmm...the more the merrier."

Marcus sudden stared at Jenny before he moved his thumb upward to show his approval toward the suggestion of Jenny.

Ken looked at Marcus and Jenny before he spoke.

"Guys! Everything is organize ...all we gonna do is to prepare not to suppose what shall happen..Ahmm Marcus, first of all, Celyn will not go with us, that's why we need to find some substitute for Celyn, and I know how smart is Jasmine and she ready for some cases that may happen if all of us face some trouble." As he continued, he stared at Jenny and threw his words." And about your suggestion, Jen , yes it sound pretty good but, as a leader, all I need to prepare first is the readiness of the member and also the knowledge of every one... We don't have to find some person to be with us because from the first place, the goal that we desire to accomplish is to find out the truth not to find out another member!... I said those words on you guys because I am responsible for that research and we must to stand the point of our project... and if we accomplish it, the credit was not just for me. But all of us guys, and I know that every one of you had ability to take risk that's why I choose everyone of you all we need is to help each other and prove other that we can make it..."

"..." Jenny and Marcus was speechless as they heard the words of Ken.

Claire rolled her eyes and moved closer to Marcus. She spoke with annoying sound while stroking the potent fair muscular body of Marcus.

"Ken is right, even we had only two boys, Marcus is enough to protect me from bad elements that can attacked my pretty face!

As she continued her mockery voice, she stared at Marcus while touching the chin of Marcus with her candle like fingers and made a flirt movement that cause her lips to come closer to Marcus.

"Do I am right Marcus? The flirting voice of Claire made Jenny to loose her temper.

Jenny stooped sudden as he heard the mockery voice of Claire which sitting at the front of her beside Marcus. Celyn was timid as she saw her best friend wore a bitter smile toward the annoying words. However, Marcus never give any quick responses toward Claire. He know that Claire flirting him and she doesn't want to make a wrong words toward Claire because he even know that Jenny secretly inlove with him the same.

Marcus stared at Jenny while Claire continued flirting him. He stood and picked the dishes and walked away to Claire. Celyn secretly touched the legs of Jenny to make a gestures that made them to walk out.

Celyn cut the silence of the sorrounding and she tell Ken that she need to go home to fix herself.

"Ken, I must to go! Thanks for your approval... Keep safe and good luck for the trip, bye!"

"Your welcome Celyn stay safe and same" Ken uttered on her.

Jenny heard the words of Celyn that's why she sudden stood and followed Celyn steps. They made a couple of step toward the exit door and walked out to the hallway.

Claire fake smile toward the two friend showed how bad person she was. Claire was a kind of a woman that could catched the attention of many boys, she always wearing a red matte lipsticks and a pinkish blush on. She always biting her lips every time she saw Marcus, because out of the boys at the whole campus, Marcus caught her motive and become an apple of her eyes. For that reason, she kept on chasing Marcus wherever he was, she always wearing sexy clothes and bought fancy things to enhance her beauty liked jewelry and some expensive clothes.

And aside of that things, she always flirting Marcus and made everything that could him to fell inlove toward he her but every planned and action she's done was nonsense for the romantic man like Marcus.

Claire secretly felt madness toward Jenny as she know that Jenny was her rival for the attention of Marcus. She hate Jenny the most and she wanted to make a way to vanish her enemy for a short period of time to remove her opposition in life.

Her devil mind was shown every glanced of her brown eyes at Jenny. She followed every movement of Jenny until it turned at the left hallway with her best friend Celyn.

However, the two friends were immedeitly walked out and they forgot their things on the chairs. Marcus was already done for bringing those used dishes at washing area and made a couple of stepped toward the place where he left a moment ago.

He wrinkled his forehead as he saw Ken and Claire were the only one who were sitting at the same corner of the table, she looked everywhere but the presence of Celyn ang Jenny was not there. He walked toward Ken's place to ask where was the two young lady went.

"Ken!, Where is Jenny?"He asked with low tone of voice.

"They already left minutes ago, I don't know why but Celyn told me that she need to go home to take a rest and...."

Before Ken finished his line, Claire made her words to catch the attention of Marcus.

"Ahmm Marcus...Jenny followed Celyn at her home and she told that she will never be with us!" Claire added with annoying tone of voice.

When Marcus heard that words to Claire, he sudden shaking his head and ran after the two young lady. He was near at the exit door when she sudden stopped as he heard Ken calling him to comeback.

"Marcus wait! Who are the owner of this things, maybe it was yours?"

Marcus turned his head and stepped back to the place where the travel bag of Celyn was placed. He quickly took the bag and smile at Ken.

"Thanks!" Marcus responded to Ken.

Ken nodded his head as a welcome message for the kindness of Marcus. Claire attempted to ran after Marcus but Ken reminded her to sit back because of some proposal that they need to finish to have a booked that able them to travel without any trouble.

Claire stamped her feet when she could not detained Marcus to walk away from her. Her madness outburst as she thought that the reason of Marcus was Jenny. She placed her hands at the chair while looking at somewhere with her devil eye.

As she place her hands, she clenched it into hardest and she sudden felt some little thing left at the bench. She stared at the things that place at the angle of the stand of the seat that crampled at the floor. She compelled to bend her body because she was wearing a fiited dress and as she reached the distances that she needed, she used her fingertips to pick that thing and she was amazed when it was a golden necklace with crescent moon pendant that hanged at the middle of the lace. She thought that she was so lucky enough because she saw an magnificent thing on her worst day.

She wore the necklace without thinking who was the owner of that thing. And after a moment of pause, she focused again to the words of Ken which telling about the proposal that they need to do before the trip. She rolled her eyes and she thought that the jewelry that she found would able to give her a beauty that better than Jenny.
