Ch2: Mystic Force – Shadows at midnight

Ps. Here's ch 2, enjoy!

Rock Porium -- Xander, Madison, Vida and Chip's work place for Tobey. They were all working part-time there after lesson.

Xander and Chip a year senior of the Rocca sisters and they were always fooling and goofing around, never serious at their work place. Nevertheless, Tobey was forever lenient towards them.

"Look here, sister, smile, say cheese," Madison Rocca held the v8 and willed her sis to smile for the camera.

"Very good, sis, hey Xander."

"Hi," Xander grinned and flexed his arms at Madison. As always, girls were constantly throwing themselves at his feet when he flashed his perfect colgate smile. Handsome and charming, he was a lady's man.

"Here Chip." Chip goofing around as usual.

Madison turned her cam around and saw Tobey walked in.

"Oh hi, Tobey, won't you taking the day off?"

"As a matter of fact, yes. But I realize there was some things I hadn't done and to be back here looking at my employees skiving instead." Tobey nagged.

Madison turned towards her sister and stuck out her tongue. Xander stood up and started to assign duties while he strode towards the armchair and sat down.

"Nah-ah Xander, so you are the only one with nothing to do?" Vida stood in front of him arms-akimbo, staring at him.

"That you don't know, I may be sitting down, but I'm actually very busy, up here," Xander pointed at his head.

At the perfect moment, the earth rocked. Minimal earthquake had caused the shop to be undoubtedly messier than before.

"Guys, I, grrrr, it's chilly and oh god,…I still can't believe why I'm here."

"Because we are on an adventure," Chip suggested.

"Sis, I have a bad feeling about this," Madison said.

Vida kept quiet and continued deeper into the woods while the others followed closely behind.

"Are we going to walk till midnight? The woods seem to be never ending," Xander whipped out his torch and shone around.

Just then, they heard the sound of rustling of clothes and the group stared hard towards the everglade.

"This is so my cue." Xander held out his hand and gave Nick Russell a diplomatic shake. "Hi, the name's Xander, and you might be?"

"Nicholas, call me Nick."

Madison and Vida watched the two guys shook hands and exchange looks. Madison thought Nick looked dangerous, not the handsome type like Xander but otherwise, tough and fearless looking.

Vida stared at Nick. At least he wasn't like Xander, that sneaky and lazy fellow, she thought with distaste. Who would fall for him?

"Why are you here, in the woods? Surely you would have heard of the rumors." Madison asked Nick.

"Heard someone yelled for help."

"Guys, look at that. Certainly looks like a door," Chip pointed towards their foreground excitedly. "Do you suppose we will find gnomes, or dwarfs in there?"

"I'm not sure, but I think we are all willing to find out."
