I'm back…hehehehe….Here's chapter 11

Nathalia's POV

We are only a day away from getting home. I feel so relaxed right now. On the way back we are supposed to pass the Marble cliffs, my hidden paradise. Only an hour or so and we will be there… I also heard that Zazie and Lag are planning to have camp there…hehehe YES! I am keeping myself calm for the moment but on the inside I am so happy I could hug the most hideous creature at the moment, Zazie.

"Are you alright?" Lag is suddenly beside me and his face just screams out 'worried'.

"I mean you haven't said anything since we left town earlier. Was it something I said?" I looked at him dead in the eye and gave a sigh. I don't want to talk about my family before … everything. I kept my face neutral but I'm happy at the same time mourning once again for my lost family.

"I'm gonna be fine. I can handle myself." I replied with not much interest. I also noticed that sometimes that Zazie would eye me from time to time. He feels like a professional stalker to me. I can't read him, I always know how to read people but Zazie… he is incredibly hard to read. If I didn't know better he would be planning my murder already but I don't think he can take me on. I'm an expert on poisons, 10 kinds of martial arts, weaponry and a whole lot of bad assery unknown to man, for now. I finally reached the Marble Cliffs and I hurried down to the beach. I just don't give a **** anymore but my world. Me time is me time, no exceptions. As I approached the sandy shore I took off my vest, boots, bag, socks, scarf and hat and I threw it into the air not minding where it landed. I raced towards the cave I knew like the back of my hand. Somewhere off the distance I can hear Zazie yelling, saying that I'm an idiot. He can go **** himself for all I care. I navigated my way through the dark, not even letting my eyes adjust to it, I knew this place like the back of my hand, and I knew every rock, pebble, stalagmite and stalactite by heart. I reached a small opening and crawled through. I touched the area in front of me and felt the smooth cold polished wood. I snatched it and raced out the cave into the water.

"What the hell Nathalia?!" Zazie yelled as he followed me into the water.

"Leave me alone!" I went deeper into the water until I was already near the breakwater.

"****! I think something touched my foot in the water!" … Zazie is such a p****. I swam over to him and dragged him back to the beach. Lag just watched as he prepared the camp, why can't Zazie behave like Lag?

I went back into the water and made my way the where the largest waves are. Nothing beats surfing, ever. Soon before I realized it, it has already been an hour. I allowed myself to be carried by waves but made sure to stand before I reached the shallow part. Trust me on this, you don't wanna try to be washed up to shore. The waves will smack you hard depending on what beach it is and you will literally roll on the floor, or at least in this case the sand, and sometimes there may be rocks or shells or bits and pieces of corals. So either suffer some minor to not so minor cuts in salty water or stand in the right time and be safe. I prefer the latter. I quickly picked up my clothes and hurried back into the cave. I wandered around until I reached the area where I place my surfboard. I gently placed it and walked further in until I reached an underground lake. I stripped off my clothes and took a dip. The water is never too cold or too hot which makes it perfect. I took my time in removing all the sand from myself and also removing the effect of salt water on my hair before I stood up and got dressed.

When I got back Zazie, Lag and Niche were nearly finished eating. I sniffed around and I recognized a stench. The death soup is still here. I backed away and decided to eat on my own, away from them. Zazie then followed me to where I was.

"Here…" Zazie said as he threw me some clothes.

"What are these for?"
"Those things are called clothes. You wear it to cover yourself." He replied calmly. This man is getting on my nerves.

"I know that these are clothes. What I mean is why? I have my own clothes right now as you can see." I pointed to my vest and all while he rolled his eyes.

"Idiot. Temperatures will drop here. It will be really cold and you are still in wet clothes. Unless you want to freeze your *** off I suggest you wear dry clothes that covers more." He walked away a second later not giving me the chance to respond. I looked through my bag and noticed I have only a few spare clothes but apparently it got dirty. Probably when I fought the gaichuu and the contents fell off… I guess I don't have a choice. I ran to a place covered in almost every angle and stripped off my wet clothes. I can't believe I will wear men clothes… even worse, it belongs to Zazie. At least I don't have to wear HIS UNDERWEAR since I still have extras. I breathe a sigh of relief at that thought. No way in a million years would I do that… I shivered when I thought of it. I slipped into his clothes and it almost fit me perfectly, well, actually not almost. I remember Lag telling me that two years ago they were almost the same height but now Zazie is incredibly tall. My height is like 5'5 but I think he is six feet tall I guess. I folded some parts of the clothes to make me look not so ridiculous.

"You done?"

"Not yet…" I finally finished and I went back to the guys.

"That took a long time. Anyway… what do you call that thing you did earlier?" Lag said as he sipped the last of the death soup.

"It's called changing clothes." Then I made spooky sound effects just to annoy them more. I saw Lag sweatdrop while Zazie hit my head with his hat.

"Fine. It's called surfing. It's not really a big deal only a small amount of people know about it. My sister taught me." Lag seemed to light up, Niche leaned her head to the right while Zazie… he just sat there. Nothing special about him.

"Okay. Goodnight." He said as he lied down and closed his eyes.

"Next time, Thalia can you tell us about your past?" A frown made its way to my face and I just lied down.

"Next time Lag, next time." I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Yey! I'm so happy I finished a chapter. Sorry if it took long but I went wakeboarding two weeks ago then swimming and going to malls, I simply didn't have time to update then. Then last weekend I got sick also Monday last week was the start of classes so I'm pretty busy. Anyway bye for now.
