A Night In The African Rain Forest Chapter 2

Mya and her class had finally arrived in Zulakai, Africa. It was a very happy place and many of the people were welcoming and kind.

"I could live here forever," Mya giggled to herself. But she stopped smiling when she remembered her grandfather's warning of never leaving the group and never leaving the safety of the grounds at twilight. "Well, there is nothing that could ever get me to leave my group." She whispered to herself.

"Come, class! There is much to see," the teacher smiled. As she walked around the grounds with her class, she saw some rough men sitting in the corner and laughing. They were large, burly men and they were cleaning their guns and drinking their beers.

"This job doesn't pay enough…," one of them fussed.

"Don't worry…we will finish the job tonight."

"Leave them; I don't want anyone to know what we're planning," Another guy said whispered.

Mya listened intently and saw how they discussed a beast that was unlike any other. A beast that could make your heart stop in fear and how it could tear a man to shreds. It made her very afraid to even think about it.

Later that night…

Mya walked with her friends to the dinner tent when she felt like she was being watched. She slowly turned and saw two green eyes looking at her from the bushes. She gasped in horror and quickly got her friend's attention.

"Area! Area, look!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Look in the bushes!" Mya panicked. But when Area looked nothing was there. Now Mya was horrified. She couldn't even sit down and eat her food.

"I think I just want to turn in early."

"Mya, are you sure you're alright?" Area asked.

"I'm fine. I just need some time to think and recoup." Mya responded. She then turned and quickly headed back for her tent, but she stopped dead in her tracks. For right in front of her was a man. A man with dark black hair. A black that was darker than the blackest night and his eyes were a piercing light green. He was intimidating and handsome all at the same time.

"Evening…," he purred quietly.

"E-evening…," Mya stuttered.

"You must be Mya…"

"How do you know me!"

"I know a lot about you. No need to fear me…I came to give you this…," he smiled. He then held up a rose. A beautiful blue rose…

"Thank you. Is this part of the welcoming to the village?"

"Yes. But not everyone received a special rose such as this, so keep it close to you," he smiled. Just then they heard voices calling for Mya. Mya turned around to answer them and when she turned back around the young man was gone. It was as if he had disappeared into thin air!
