Chapter 12 - The Waterfall incident
Ellie POV
I sighed as I sat down, Jade insisted we all worked on our fighting, Chelsee, Dennis and Hayley sat next to me.
"She's going to kill herself." Chelsee stated
"Yep, wonder why she's trying so hard." Hayley muttered. We all looked at each other and smiled, we all had the same idea.
"Hey, aparently there's a waterfall near here. We can cool off there!" Jade came over, her breath short and fast.
"You're going to have an astma attack if you keep going like that." Dennis warned.
"I won't, Dennis Brandon. You acn wait for us to return before you can cool off." Jade said
"WHAT!" Dennis cried
"WHY?" Brandon cried
"Ladies first!" I grinned, getting up. "Let's go girls!" I lead the way out of the fort. Jade grabbed a book before following.
"What's that?" Chelsee asked
"A history book. Swift lent it to me." Jade said, Chelsee and I grinned at each other. "what's funny you two?" she frowned
"Jade and Swifty." I sang
"Sitting in a tree." Chelsee added
"Don't." Jade warned
"K.I.S.S.I.N.G!" I chanted with Chelsee, Hayley and Elise.
"Seriously suys?" Jade puted, blushing.
"Aw, ickle Jadikins is in lowe!" I said
"GUYS!" Jade pleded. We just laughed as Jade muttered death threats under her breath
Hayley POV
"Nice" I smiled, we found the waterfall with a small lake forming underneath it. We stripped and jumped it. Jade went round behind the waterfall, we didn't mind. Mostly because Ellie started a water fight.
"This is better." I smiled, before getting a face full of water.
"Yep, this is the life." Chelsee agreed
"Do you think we'll ever get home?" I asked, Chelsee and Ellie fell silent.
"I did have the strangest feeling last night." Chelsee broke the silence. "But i am sure we will get home."
"Yeah, we'll get home for sure, don't worry! We'll be home in no time at all." Ellie said "Maybe this place is like Narina." We all laughed
"That would be cool!" I smiled
"What's Narina?" Elise asked
"Oh, you wouldn't know..." I began
"Make way!" A voice yelled, the four of us turned as someone jumped in with us. "Miss me ladies?"
Dennis POV
"This is a bad idea." I sighed, Brandon and I followed Elliot and Ben as we took the same path Ellie and the others had taken.
"You want to see Elise, don't ya?" Brandam smirked, winking.
"Shut up Brandon, not like that." I growled "Ellie or Jade will kill us, well, Elliot then Ben."
"Ah, never considered that..." Brandon muttered
"See, we are dead meat." I said
"Hey, Ben. This isn't a wise idea." Brandon called "Jade won't be pleased."
"I can deal with Jade." Ben smiled
"10 gold says she burns him." I whispered to Brandon
"50 says she knocks him cold." Brandon said, we shook hands.
"There it is." Ben stripped to nothing and ran. "Make way!" A splashed confirmed he had just joined the girls.
"He's swimming with sharks." Brandon smiled, he became a balverine and joined everyone else, even Elliot has stripped and joined them.
"Seriously?" I sighed, well, if you can't beat them, join them. I got out of my clothes, Jade wasn't there as I joined everyone in the water.
Chelsee POV
"Ben!" I gasped, the blonde soldier swam over to me.
"Miss me?" He grinned, I blushed and splashed water in his face. He just laughed and pushed his hair out of his eyes, grinning down at me.
"I hate you." I said, Ben looked amused.
"Do you really?" Ben asked
"Yes." I nodded
"No, you don't." Ben hugged me. I glared at him.
"I will hurt you." I warned
"No you won't. You are adorable." Ben said. Ellie, Elise and Hayley were grinning. Ellie gave me a thumbs up.
"Fine, Jade will hurt you." I smiled
"Talking about the devil, where is the devil of Skorm's fire?" Ben looked around.
"I saw her go behind the waterfall." Hayley said, Bne smiled.
"What's that look for?" I asked
"Well, Swift came for a wash this morning, and he hasn't returned yet." Ben explained.
"So?" Ellie looked confused.
"He is always behind there." He pointed at the waterfall.
"Okay, everyone, quiet. Lets spy!" Ellie grinned, we all got out and peeked around rocks. Jade was reading the history book and conversing with Swift, they seemed quite happy.
"Hey, Chels. Should I get their attention?" Hayley smiled, holding up a stone. Everyone nodded eagerly.
"Fine." I smiled, also interested in seeing Jade's reaction. Hayley throw the stone, Jade and Swift jumped/. Swift just glared at them, but Jade sank beneath the surface, the history book being held up so it didn't get get wet. Swift had to pull her up.
"You guys are so dead!" JAde yelled as soon as she stopped coughing up water.
"Lets go!" I advised, We ran, got into our clothes and rushed to the fort laughing, the other soldiers watched us confused.
Jade POV
I stood in the map room, as soon as I had returned to the fort I had came in here. I tapped the map trying to keep my mind from earlier events. I ended up giving up, I sat in a chair and sighed, i was so embarssed.
"Here." I gasped as I saw Major swift holding out a cup of tea towards me.
"Thank you..." I accepted it and took a sip, it was really nice.
"Your friends are sorry." Swift said. "You should talk to them."
"It is best I stay alone a while. I tend to shout when I am in a mood." I told him. He nodded and left. I looked at the map and smiled. I guess i couldn't blame them for being curious. I was just in a mood becuase they ruined the moment at the waterfall. I was happy talking to Major Swift as easily as I did with my friends, I would forgive them, they would have to make it up to me later. I smiled that plan and drank my tea.
