Deadly Schooling
Chapter 10- Deep Within The Woods
……………………………………
She went back to the forest…making her way down the halls and out into the fields.
Serenity's POV
Why am I searching? I didn't know what I was doing or why… I had a class to go to but nevertheless my feet went the other way! I retraced my footsteps from the tree…to the garden…to the entrance. I stayed at the entrance just letting the things that I'm about to do sink in. Studying each thing, plant, anything that had any signs of life. The vines that hugged tightly onto trees like a child on a mother…
Things here were so full of life. So captivating… Time ticked on by and still I was standing there. There, alone…alone. "Control yourself." I whispered out. This is defiantly not the time to look at the scenery. I shook my head gently trying to shake of the nagging feeling. They're here. I know they are. But the question is, where?
I followed my mind…or was it my heart? I didn't know why, but even though I've only been here in a days' time I feel like I've known those boys since forever. Strange…ne? Look at me I'm talking to myself. But it is comfortable…to have someone that cares. The images from my first night spent at this building…My first welcome. My first…scene. I guess you would call them my companions…or even my friends—
This is no time to rethink about my life! I let out a sigh as I went deeper…I didn't know where I was going but I had a feeling that I was heading in the right direction. At least I hoped I was…
End of POV
On the other side of the forest seven boys were still searching but what they didn't know was that the one leading them didn't know where he himself was. "Are you sure you know where you're going?"
"Yea, I mean I hate to spend a night in a place…"
"What are you? A baby! There is nothing wrong with spending time in the outdoors. But what I'm truly worried about is what if the headmaster found out we're missing…"
"We can't worry about that now…besides that guy won't notice we're missing until about a month later!"
"True."
It became silence again… As Talki led the way the others followed. Deeper they went. The deeper they went the darker it got.
Seiya's POV
I'm worried. I don't know why, but I am…I guess I'm infatuated with her. I love her smile, I love her laugh, I love her kindness, but most of all I love her. Why? Well for some reason I just do. Simple as that. Strange, ne? How I can love someone that I don't even know. The others were silent. This is the first time in years since we all been this quiet. It's kind of nice…in a way.
I could hear the sounds of the wind blowing. Gentle but also ruthless. The sounds of breathing of my fellow friends'. I don't know how long we were walking but right now I could see the sun slowly and quietly creeping its why back into a restless slumber. A restless slumber…that's what I feel right now. But at the moment I can't fall asleep. Sleep is the farthest thing from my mind.
I'm babbling on and on about nothing… God I got to shut myself up.
End of POV
"Seiya?" said Mamoru as he tapped his friend on the back. Seiya didn't answer. His eyes were looking ahead. "Seiya." Mamoru repeated again. But once again there wasn't a reply.
"What?"
"Hey, you alright?"
"Yeah…fine."
"You stopped."
"Stopped what?"
"Walking Seiya. You stopped walking."
"Did I now?"
"Look down. Are your feet moving!?"
"Heh…I guess I did. Hey where are the others?"
"What!?!?"
Midnight orbs scanned the area. "Those idiots!! Don't they ever turn around! Damn it." cursed Mamoru. Seiya let out a chuckle as he watched. "Well I guess we followed Diamond's plan. Might as well split up now then later--"
Mamoru stared at him blankly, his eyes was filled with fiery. "Seiya. Do you even know where to look?" He asked calmly. For a moment Seiya didn't answer, his facial expression wasn't that clear either. A soft chuckle left his lips as he turned towards his friend. "Well…do you Mamoru?"
Up ahead no one seemed to notice that the two were gone.
"It's a bit quiet."
"Too quiet. I don't like this."
Diamond turned towards his little brother as they all came to a stop. "Are you sure you got all our things?" He asked. Sapphire looked up his eyes looked so tired and worried. "Yeah" He answered simply. The others were spread out next them.
"Man my legs kill."
"She better appreciate us after this!"
"Ah, Yaten always to frail…ne?"
"Shut up."
"Hey. Are we missing someone?"
"I'm not going back there!"
"They'll make it. Don't worry…right now we have to face the problem at hand."
Talki looked up into the sky…the sun was now only showing peaks of its light and the moonlight was slowly taking its place. "It's getting dark. We have two choices…camp out and search more. Or we head back." He said simply. The others didn't even need time to answer. "We're staying"
Serenity on the other hand wasn't having much luck either. She was alone unlike the boys…alone and lost—
Serenity's POV
Curse them! I don't know how long I've been searching but it seemed like forever. I thought that I would've found them by now but it turned out harder then I thought. "I hope you're all ok…" I whispered out silently. I could see the stars making its way out into the night. It was not yet dark but darker nonetheless. It was getting creepier by the minute…
"Be strong." I whispered to myself.
Strong… The sounds of birds cawing. The water running…the wind blowing…the trees whispering. I continued walking, the sounds of twigs breaking under my weight. It was peaceful in a way. But it was all too quiet. This was getting too close with nature for my liking. I've been here since lunch and now I've gotten myself lost. Stupid me. I should've told someone. So much for being responsible.
A sigh left my lips as I sat down to rest. I hope I find them soon or more as I hope they find me… Maybe I should stay still…stay where I am so I won't become too lost. This is what I should've have done about two hours ago. I sat there on that rock for a few minutes trying to decide weather to go on or not. My mind was fighting itself…
'Go…it won't hurt. Besides you don't know what's out here.'
'Go where!? Think! You're LOST!!!!'
'Well it's better then staying here with the grass and the birds and the bears and the pigs!!!!'
'Just think for a moment you know that they are looking for you at this very moment. Let them come to you.'
'Come to you? Yeah, right. They probably left already!! You were just to stupid to leave it at that!'
'They wouldn't leave you…they care.'
'Care? Heh. Caring might be a reason but we all know what--'
'I'm ashamed!'
'Ashamed of what?! It's a part of life! It's not all perfect!'
I was getting a headache… I didn't know what to do, or what to think. My mind kept going on and on. It was making me crazier by the minute! I'm hearing voices, I'm hearing the sounds of nature, I'm hearing music… "Music?" I said to myself. I must be going mad. But I heard it… I did. At least I thought I did…
End of POV
Serenity shook her head softly trying to dismiss what she just heard. Her ears were straining to hear it again but alas all that came was silence. At least the normal average silence. The birds had stopped now and all that was left was the flutter of wings…the winds slowed down and there was peace. The moon was at its highest peak, shining gently over whatever stands within its path. The gentle white light lighting a path leading deeper into the forest. The trees were no longer that rich color green but now a dark, plain black.
Her ears were still trying to pick out any sounds that were abnormal. Any sounds that seemed out of place. Suddenly a soft sound appeared it seemed to be far off but close at the same time. It was a sound that was soft and rich…filled with power and life. The melody was beautiful. Loving, but yet filled with sorrow. The gentle tune filled the air and stroke a path for her to follow. She did…her feet led the way. One step after the other…the melody became louder after each step. It was intoxicating.
Her eyes were closed she followed the sounds. It was loud enough to tell her that the source wasn't far off… Her eyes fluttered open revealing crystal orbs. She scanned the area and finally her eyes landed on—
………………………………………

Serenity's Rose- Yes you do get to choose…I know very well that it isn't quite as romantic as it should. But don't worry I'll be getting to that ^_~ And Rick…well hopefully he will but maybe he never will.
Moon Goddess- Well lets see, she has not developed her feelings for any of the guys past a friend…at least that's what I think. All the boys do have it in for her and the choosing is up to you.
