It has been forever since I updated this one. On my William and Phoebe one, I said I probably wouldn't update today due to my birthday but I changed my mind. I am going to work on this one and maybe even a few more, I don't know. Anyways, back to the story.
Dylan woke up, looking down at the small petite girl in his arms with a smile. He wanted to stay there like that with her forever but he knew one of them would have to get up sooner or later. Dylan moved slightly, trying not to wake Christina up. He got free, looking at her for a moment with a smile before walking out of the room.
He went downstairs, noticing it was still early. He yawned and shrugged, going back upstairs and grabbing his swimsuit. He went to the bathroom and changed, heading back out to the hot tub. He got in, sitting down and beginning to relax.
After about half an hour he heard something come from the woods. "Boo!" Phoebe popped out of the woods. "What in the hell are you doing out there?" Dylan asked. Phoebe shrugged. "William and I were walking but I lost him." She replied, walking in the back door and starting breakfast.
Christina walked down the stairs, yawning to herself. "Morning." She called to Phoebe. "Morning. If you see Will, tell him I made it home." Christina nodded, walking out to the back porch.
"Hey." She said, sitting in a chair by the hot tub. "Hey." Dylan replied, looking at her with a smile. "When did you wake up?" She asked him. Dylan shrugged. "A little less than an hour ago." Christina nodded. "You could have woken me." She said with a shrug. "Yeah but you look cute when you're asleep." Dylan got a big grin from her after he said this. "Thanks." Dylan nodded. "You're welcome."
Christina scratched her head. "Where exactly is William?" She asked. "According to Phoebe, the woods." Dylan replied. "I'm going to go change and then look for him." Christina said. "Want company?" He asked. She shook her head. "Um, no. I'm fine." She walked up to her room, grabbing her outfit and changing.
She walked downstairs and outside, into the woods, looking around. "William?" She called, rolling her eyes. "I swear if he tries to pop out and scare me I'll punch him in the nose." She said to herself.
She walked around, calling out his name every once in a while. Finally she had been out there about an hour and she rolled her eyes, shaking her head. "Whatever, jerk face. You aren't scaring me!" She called out. She turned around, bumping into a tall figure. A scream escaped a mouth as she looked up to see none other than her brother. "Jerk." She said again. "I'm not scaring you, huh?" William smirked. She smacked his arm, walking ahead of him and not looking back. He chuckled, following her.
"Your scream probably has Dylan freaking out." William teased. "Shut up." Christina said, looking blankly ahead as she continued to walk. "I'm just saying-"William started with a shrug. "Shut up." Christina repeated, rolling her eyes.
"Awe, Christina's embarrassed." He teased. Christina stopped, turning to him. "Will you please just shut up?" She shouted at him, storming off back towards the house. William held his hands up defensively. "Woe, sorry." He mumbled, walking after her. "Get lost or something." Christina snapped, walking back into the yard and up into the cabin.
Dylan chuckled. "Ouch." He mumbled to William. "Shut up. You're shriveling like a raisin." William muttered. "That's your great come back?" Dylan laughed again. "Yep." William said with a shrug, walking inside.
Dylan shook his head, getting out of the hot tub and drying himself off. He walked inside. "Breakfast should be done any time now." Phoebe said. Dylan nodded. "I'm just going to go change. I'll be back." He replied, getting a simply nod from Phoebe.
He went upstairs, throwing on some dry clothes and walking back downstairs. "We should do something other than hike while we're here." He said, sitting down at the table. "Like?" Phoebe replied. "A scavenger hunts. At night." Dylan suggested with a grin. "Well, who will hide the stuff?" Phoebe asked. "There are four of us, so we would need to be in teams of two or every man for himself." She pointed out. "So we all hide them." He shrugged.
Phoebe rolled her eyes. "That makes no sense." She replied. "We each hide a few items." Dylan said with a shrug. "Whatever." Phoebe mumbled, getting an eye roll from Dylan. "Food!" She called to Christina and William, who came into the room soon after.
They all discussed the scavenger hunt and how they were going to do it. "Okay, so if we have twelve items, we each hide three." Christina said with a shrug. "Yeah, except we're hiding them during the day and finding them at night." Phoebe pointed out. "What?" Christina asked. "Well, we weren't sure if two groups of two or if we all just split up and do our own thing." Phoebe said. "Let's vote." William suggested. "Good idea." Phoebe nodded.
"Dylan, partners or not?" Dylan shook his head. "Not." Phoebe nodded. "Christina?" She asked. "Partners." She replied. "William?" William shook his head as well. "I want to do this on my own." Phoebe shrugged. "Then it's decided, every man for themself." Christina groaned at this.
She got up, putting her plate in the sink and going upstairs to her room. She sat on the floor, beginning to do her daily stretches. Once she was done with that, she walked downstairs. "So, what supplies am I hiding?"
Phoebe looked to her. "Well, we're hiding them one at a time and while whoever is hiding them; the other three have to stay inside." Christina nodded. "Who's all went?" She asked. "Well, Dylan is out there right now and then William is going to go and then you can and then I will." Christina smiled. "Thanks." She said, walking in the living room and sitting on the couch.
The time passed by pretty slowly but soon enough, it was Christina's turn. The list of twelve items contained: a rubber ducky, a pair of sunglasses, some earphones, a hairbrush, a pair of William's pants, a book, a sneaker, a glow stick, a plastic egg, Phoebe's diary (which was, of course, locked), a bandana and Christina's nail file.
Christina knew that Phoebe had made the list because it was completely random and William was much too organized and Dylan was too lazy.
She finished hiding the sneaker, the nail file and the bandana, heading back to the house. "Finished." She said to Phoebe, sitting on the couch with the boys.
They were rambling on about the randomest things so she just zoned them out until Phoebe returned. Once she returned, they all headed out to the hot tub so they could allow it to get dark outside.
"So, guess what I heard?" Phoebe spoke. "What?" William asked. "I heard on the news this morning that the zombie apocalypse is happening. Maybe they'll make it to us tonight." She teased with a grin. "No, I'm just kidding. But seriously, that would be nuts." Dylan nodded with a laugh. "It really would." He agreed.
They sat in the hot tub, talking about whatever popped into their mind until it was time to go. They all got dressed in warm, dry clothes and headed out to the woods.
Christina hated to admit that she was very scared to go into the woods alone at night. It was bad enough that she still had the scary stories in her head but she was all alone and it was dark and these woods went deep. Someone could easily get her and the others probably wouldn't even hear her scream.
She heard a branch snap behind her, gasping and stopping right in her tracks. She didn't turn to look, she didn't run and she didn't ask who it was. She just stood there in fright. "Christina?" She heard Dylan's voice, breaking her trance. "Dylan." She breathed a sigh of relief. "Hey." He offered a smile. "Isn't this a lone mission?" She asked. "You didn't seem too thrilled to be alone." He observed. "I guess not." She admitted.
He took her hand in his and she began to blush. "Come on." He whispered. "This is cheating." She whispered back. Dylan just shrugged. "You really think those two are actually apart?" He asked her. Christina thought for a moment. "Good point." She agreed.
Dylan and Christina found five of the items, deciding they would just walk around instead. "So…" Christina mumbled. "Can I say something?" Christina nodded. "You look beautiful even out here in the dark." He said. She blushed madly, looking at the ground. "You don't look too bad yourself." She stopped walking. He stopped as well, smiling at her.
He looked at her for a moment, not saying anything. It was the type of silence that was uncomfortable but Dylan was willing to break it.
He leaned in, placing a warm kiss to Christina's lips. She kissed back for a moment, wrapping her arms around his neck until she realized what she was doing, pulling away. She shook her head, sighing to herself. "I'm sorry, I can't." She said, hurrying off towards the house again.
Dylan wanted to call after her but he couldn't. He just stood there in the woods, feeling heartbroken. He sighed to himself; shaking his head and heading back off towards the house as well.
So, that's it for this chapter. I have had writers block for this one but I'm getting back into it. Review and tell me what you think! Feedback is appreciated. Anyways, that's it for today.
