Jenna woke more refreshing than the day before. She was still sore, but she can walk just fine. She slowly made her way over towards the door, there was a long corridor. There was a light at the end and Jenna made her way towards it. When she reached it, she sees a fountain that had candles and other items surrounding it, as well as a huge sound box. There was a couch on the other side of the fountain and a wheelchair at the other end. There were two beds at one far wall, drapes hang everywhere. Jenna saw two sleeping figures; she didn't recognize either of the two. One was a young woman who looked to be around Jenna's age with very puffy curly hair. The other sleeping form appeared to belong to a little boy maybe between the ages of nine to eleven. Jenna thought that he was absolutely adorable. She gave a soft smile towards him. Jenna saw a makeshift staircase that led to the outside. I am inside a cave Jenna thought, Awesome.
The view was absolutely gorgeous, the way the water hit the rocks memorized her. She always loved the ocean; she could stare at them for hours. However, the sun got to bright for her, so she headed back inside. There was another entrance, however it was tiny and all you see is darkness. Jenna was planning on seeing where it leads to, but her eyes began to grow heavy.
Just a nap, that's all. I'll wake up in an hour or so she thought as she lay down onto the couch, that hour turned to six hours. Jenna woke to the sound of voices surrounding her.
"No don't move her, just leave her where she is," she heard David's voice say. She suddenly felt something drape against her. She opened one eye and could see that Marko was the one to place a blanket on top of her. He looked at her one eye and smiled.
"Well I guess you're not asleep are you," he said seating on the couch. She shifted a little to give him more room.
"I was asleep, but all of your loud voices woke me up," she said smiling up at him. She heard Paul laughing in the background.
"How could we wake you up babe, we weren't that loud," he said coming over to ruffle her hair.
"Hey!" smoothing down her hair back down, "no touching the hair".
"How long were you down here?" David said seating down on his wheelchair.
"I'm not sure. I think I woke up around mid-day. What time is it now?"
"It's night," Dwayne said.
"I was asleep for that long? Man I was hoping it was only going to be an hour or so before I woke up not six or seven hours," she began to sit up, flinching every now and then at the pain that passed through her body. All the boys tensed up at her pain.
"How are you feeling?" David asked.
"Much better than yesterday," she said with a small smile.
"Good, so you ready to venture out?" David asked nodding towards the entrance.
"Hell yeah I am. The question is are you?" she asked. The boys laughed at her remark. Marko helped her up. She tried to tell him that she doesn't need his help, but he was hearing any of that. Once up, David gave her introductions to the two she saw earlier. The girl with the curly hair name is Star, interesting name, she thought, and the young boy was Laddie. When that was over they headed towards the boys bikes. Marko grabbed Jenna's hand, leading her towards his bike.
"You sure you're ready to ride?" he said stopping by his bike.
"Yeah I'm ready. I'll be fine," she said.
"Okay, just be sure you hang on, tight," he said, helping her onto the bike.
"Yes, sir," she said in a playful manner. He grinned at her remark and started the bike as did the rest of the boys. Laddie couldn't wait to reach the boardwalk, however Star looked like she wanted to be anywhere, but here. They began hoot and holler as they drove away, Jenna held on for dear life, but enjoyed every minute of it. She loved the feeling of the wind going through her hair, loved how fast and dangerous he was driving. She didn't want the ride to end, but sadly it did. The boardwalks entrance lights came into view as they ventured their bikes beside it.
"So did you like it?" Marko asked once he was off the bike. She grabbed his offered hand.
"Like it? I loved it!" A huge smile was plastered on her face. Marko mimicked her smile.
Once off the bike, Marko grabbed a hold of Jenna's hand and followed the boys into the boardwalk.
"Are we going to go see Charlie?" Jenna asked. She wanted to let him that she's good and well, and hoped that she didn't worry him too much. Knowing him though, he was most likely out of his mind with worry. After all they are pretty close.
"Yes, we are," David said. Jenna gave a little bounce to her step. She couldn't wait to see him. As they were walking towards Books of Wonder, they passed the post board with missing poster scattered about. Jenna stopped, seeing that you face was among the missing. Her heart dropped seeing that Charlie was the one to post it; he was of course the only person who ever truly cared about her. Marko stood next to her; he placed his free hand on his shoulder.
"Come on, he'll be happy to see you," he said gently. She glanced up at him, gave him a small smile, nodded her head, and followed his lead. Few minutes later they entered the shop. Charlie was too busy restocking to pay attention to who was entering the store. Jenna's whole face lit up at the sight of him. She let go of Marko's hand and ran towards Charlie. She cleared her thought once reaching him.
"I'll be with one second, just let me finish with this last stack," he said without glancing back. Jenna smiled and proceeded to tap his shoulder.
"Miss I said I will be with… Jenna?" he asked once turned around.
"Wow Charlie you grew a bread, looks good," she said. Charlie abounded his work and hugged her.
"Ouch, not too tight, I'm still hurting," she rushed.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he said releasing her suddenly. Charlie grabbed onto her shoulders.
"I am so happy to see that you are alright, you are find right?" he asked concern plastered on his face. She smiled at him softly.
"Yes I am fine. Just sore in a few places," she said.
"Sore? Why are you sore?" he asked.
"Ah well you see I kind of got into a little trouble," she said.
"What kind of trouble?" he asked glancing over towards the boys. She followed his direction.
"They didn't do anything to me. They are the ones who saved my life," she said.
"Why did they need to save your life?" he asked.
She then proceeded to tell him all that happened to her. He started at her, his eyes growing bigger at each statement she said.
"Why the hell would you do that? Put yourself in that kind of danger," he said.
"I didn't know that they were going to come after me," she said crossing her arms across chest. Charlie huffed at her. He then glanced back at the boys.
"Are you sure you can trust them?" he asked. She looked over at the boys; her fondness for them was growing. She knew, even though she know them for a few days, she can trust them.
"Yes I'm sure," she said confidently. Charlie shook his head with a sigh.
"I question your judgment sometimes," he said.
"You don't have to worry about me, I'm safe with them. They won't let anything happen to me," she said.
"How do you know that, Jenna? They never have shown any interest in anyone in this town. Why do you believe that they will keep you protected? What if they find out about the people who want you?" he said. Jenna tensed at his words.
"They won't find me. I hid myself pretty well. I don't know how it happened or why but I know that the boys will be there for me. Just trust me okay?" she said. Charlie paused, gathering his thoughts.
"Okay, I'll be here when you need me," he said rubbing his hands up and down her shoulders.
"I know," she reached up and kissed his cheek.
"I'm still not used to that beard," she said. He laughed at her remark.
