Celine and Chris sat on the peak of Lassguss mountain, overlooking all of the continent.
"I think I can see Mars from up here, Chris!"
Chris
chuckled. "Can you point out Cross?"
Celine
smiled and looked at him. "It's right in front of us, silly. But then
again, there's only one thing I want to look at right now."
Chris smiled and took her in a deep kiss. In the cold mountain air, the
warmness of the kiss was welcome. They didn't exactly stop there, though.
Celine began to remove Chris's cloak, but he stopped her.
"Not
in the open, Celine. Shall we head back to our tent?"
Celine
smiled and leaned against Chris. "Not right yet...for a few minutes, let's
just watch the stars."
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ashton
was near asleep. He couldn't sleep after eating so many hamburgers, so he began
to just think about how long of a day it was and how tired he was...and was
just about to fall asleep when Chisato jabbed him in the side.
Ashton
mumbled. "...nnn...ouch!...oww...Chisato, w-"
"Shhhh!",
she whispered. She moved to the tent flap and put on a pair of shoes. "Get
these on!", she said as she threw Ashtons shoes at him.
"Whats...::Aaawwwnn::...all
this about, Chisato?"
"I
said, Shh! Follow me!"
Ashton
groggily ran after Chisato, who made no attempt to wait for him. Eventually
they reached their target, which was a ledge on the mountain, no different then
any other ledge on Lassguss.
Ashton
started to say something, but Chisato already had her hand to his lips,
quietting him. Ashton sighed internally, wondering what exactly they were there
for...until he began to hear it too. Below them...sounds.
Ashton
crept close to the side of the edge and peered down, and realized they were
right over the tent of Claude and Rena.
Oh...my God..., Ashton thought. Claude...and Rena...below us...?
"Canyoubelieveit??",
Chisato whispered into his ears.
Ashton
was silent. Dead silent. Several moments passed, and he whispered back to
Chisato.
"Itcouldjustbeourimagination...wind...orsomething..."
At
that moment, they heard Rena moan. They both placed hands at their face to keep
them from gasping aloud. Ashtons eyes pleaded to Chisato, lets go. But Chisato motioned for him as she slowly walked down
the path. Ashtons eyes widened but he followed her...he really didn't know
where he was, so he didn't have a choice.
Near
their tent was a giant rock, so they slowly crept up to it. Now they were about
3 feet from the tent, enough to feel the presances of four people. Whatever
sounds the two heard from above were made certain now, and even greater sounds
were heard that were near sub-vocalized.
Ashton
stared wide-eyed, then looked at Chisato. She was watching intently, though
they both knew nothing could be seen. Claude and Rena were smart...they knew a
candle would reflect everything against the tent screen.
They
heard Rena again. It was too much to bear for Ashton. He poked Chisato in the
side, getting no response. He poked her again, harder, and she turned in
annoyance. His eyes were wide, and his head motioned towards the ledge. Chisato
looked in that direction and nodded reluctantly.
Just
as they reached the ledge, they heard Rena one last time, loudly. They both
gasped, not reaching to silence themselves soon enough. The sounds from down
below stopped and they could hear rustling.
Shit!, Ashton thought, and ducked
quickly behind a tree. Chisato followed suit.
Below, they could see Claude look out of the tent, obviously shirtless. He looked around, nervously. They could hear Renas voice.
"Come on, Claude...it was just the wind."
Claude looked around one more time, then closed the tent flap. Chisato and
Ashton simply layed back on the ground, hearts beating, eyes wandering, minds
racing.
A
few minutes passed, and they motioned each other to return to their tent. They
began to walk, and then heard a scream in the direction of Celines tent.
Panically they ran as fast as they could.
As
they approached Celine and Chris's tent, they heard them both, as well. The
only difference is that Celine and Chris had chosen to keep a light in their
tent. The thing they saw...
Chisato
and Ashton motioned each other to return once again to the tent. Only this
time, they ran.
