Chapter 3
The Group
When they got back to Nathan's home they met Kaz and Nathan (as expected) and given a room. Aidan went to the room as fast as he could to sleep (though it would be hours until he did fall asleep) but Kaz, Chloe and Nathan stayed up. (For how long was unknown to either of them but Aidan does recall them laughing and eating cake until 10:00) The next day Aidan woke up to see the Chloe had come into the room at some point and fell asleep (eating a slice of cake with her bare hands I should add. BLACKMAIL) he walked to the balcony that was right outside the room. He breathed in the fresh air like it was holy and sat down. He thought he saw the dark man for a second but shrugged it off as him just being tired. He left the room (He also picked up the cake Chloe was eating so I guess he gets blackmailed also) and went downstairs. "Hey." Nathan said from the table he was sitting at. "You scared the hell out me." Aidan sat down at the table. "Want some pancakes?" Nathan asked- ironically – between bites of waffle. "Yeah."
Later when they all had woken up and eaten. They went to talk to the mayor of the town about the dark man. "We have no reports of a 'Dark Man'," the mayor said "We do have reports of a castle being built over the past months. If I'm correct it is finished and we have people investigating soon." The mayor said intriguing yet disappointing the three. "We will have people investigating soon." Aidan corrected. Kaz shot him a glare. "Can we meet the people?" Chloe asked. "I see no harm in it." The mayor led them through the town why'll talking about his life. The three tried their best to ignore it. When they got to a home with a 'sore-thumb' architecture compared to the rest of the town. - Except Nathan's house – the mayor knock some kind of code and they were let in. The code - Aidan assumed – was Morse code, for what? He had no idea. The mayor started to walk back to the town hall. "Who are you?" a guy from behind them asked. They turned around to meet a guy with black hair wearing a blue and white sweat shirt. "Aidan, Kaz, and Chloe." Aidan said pointing to the three of them. "You're a pineapple right?" the guy asked. "Yes, and she's a chloezilla and the other one is a half-human half-creeper." "Stop saying and in the sentence." Chloe said smirking. "I'm Brayden the co-leader of this group. Let me introduce you to the rest of the group." He led them through the house walking by a kitchen, a training room, until they finally made it to a room where three people sat. "Meet the rest of the group," Brayden gestured towards the group. "That's Daniel archer of the group," he pointed to a guy wearing a blue hoodie. He had green eyes and black hair and as expected he had a bow and arrow on his back. "That's Kevin the demolition guy of the group." He gestured towards a guy with brown eyes and brown hair. He wore red and black clothes. He had a backpack with redstone and tnt strapped to his back. "That's Jett, the leader of the group." He gestured towards a guy pineapple wearing a mask. (More of a bandana really) He had brown eyes and had blue eyes. He had two swords strapped to his back. "Cousin?" Aidan and Jett said at the same time. "I thought the whole city was dead…" Aidan said. Brayden gestured for them to sit down. "Only your town was wiped out." Jett said still surprised to see his cousin alive and with friends. "How did you get here?" Aidan asked before Jett could continue.
