AN: OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! I am sooooo sorry for not updating. Unfortunately I have had the worlds worst writers block. The updates should be more frequent no that i am past this part, so please enjoy the chapter!
So Alberta's plan in walking to where we thought we had smelled burgers slightly, failed. Ok not even slightly. It failed miserably. The way we decided to walk was covered in stones and tree roots were sticking up every which way. I should know I was down there enough. More to the point, the long walk (hike. A walk is easy) was making all getting tired. Well, all except Taylor who was still saying we should keep going.
"Oh come on guys we can keep going!" Taylor said bouncing around like she was a jack rabbit.
I face palmed. "You cannot be serious. We have been walking for god knows how long and I am frankly ge" I got cut off mid rant to the fact a tree root decided 'hey lets trip Courtney', but Danielle knew where I was going with this and continued where I left off.
"Getting tired of your 'hey guys let's keep going' attitude! Is that what you were about to say Courtney?" Danielle asked turning to face me. I nodded brushing off my knees. "Good."
"I'm sorry guys." We all turned to Alberta who had been quite through me and Danielle's tirade.
"What do you have to be sorry for? You've done nothing wrong." Kia said.
"Well it is my fault that we are all out here. I mean if I hadn't come up with the idea to hike out into the middle of nowhere we would be in this situation." Alberta's eyes never left the ground and I swear I could see tears forming in them.
"Alberta it was an idea. That's all we are going on right now anyways." Canada said. "I mean Alfred might not even be home and going there could be a waste of our time."
Alberta nodded as another gust of wind tore through the forest this carrying the strongest sent of burgers yet. All of our eyes widened at the smell of it. "Hey Alberta." I called over to her. She looked over to me. "Maybe this wasn't such a bad plan after all."
I was the last to burst into the field but the first to say something about the cabin that stood in the middle of it. "I would like an explanation as to why there is a cabin in the middle of nowhere!"
"I don't know but maybe we can ask the person inside if they have any food or water that we can have." Kerstin said shrugging her shoulders.
"Quick Canada, you go knock on the door!" Zoë exclaimed pushing Canada forward a bit. Canada looked a smidge shocked, you could say, before going up to the door to knock on it, but the moment he did it swung open.
"Hello." He called out softly. Pushing the door open some more Canada went to step in when there was a sudden shout.
"Who's there, it better not be a ghost!?"
"Alfred what are you doing here!" Canada whisper-yelled.
"Oh hey Mattie, I didn't see you there." Ok I knew it was bad that my own country wasn't noticed by anyone but I couldn't help to giggle a little at the incident. I looked down the line to see if anyone else was laughing.
'Nope, just me.' I thought to myself. Finally deciding to pay any attention to what was going on, I realized that Alberta had made her way up to the door and was now talking to Alfred. Due to the fact that I missed most of the conversation (me and my short attention span) I only caught the last little bit of it.
"Oh and I have six, six right?" Alberta asked looking back at us. Although Taylor was the shortest out of all of us, she always did the head count. Taylor gave her a thumbs up telling her she was right. "Yea six friends, you wouldn't mind if they came in too?"
"Sure!" Just like that Taylor was inside Danielle not far behind. Kerstin slowly trialed after them with Zoë at her side, but the thing is Kerstin's eyes never left the ground. This is unusual, but I have seen it before, she was nervous. I followed not too far behind as my plan fell into place.
As Taylor looked around I heard he say something along the lines of where the hell are we? Kia, who was right beside me, was asking about food and water, and if there was any.
Then just like that no one was paying any attention to me. Danielle and Zoë were content with staring out the window, Taylor was poking Tony (not that I knew it was Tony at the time so he kind of scared the crap out of me), and Kia was rummaging through one of the eight fridges. Oh and I was just sneaking up behind Kerstin so I could push her straight into Alfred.
Ok, I didn't push her that hard but I think she tripped over her own feet and BOOM, Kerstin fell straight onto Alfred. "I-I'm so sorry." Kerstin stuttered.
"It's ok! Just be more careful next, I don't want you to get hurt!" Kerstin just nodded and scurried off towards Zoë blushing like mad. By that time I was laughing my ass off because seeing Kerstin like this was… well hilarious!
"What's wrong with her?"
Alberta sighed. "Oh Alfred you wouldn't understand, but right now what's wrong with her doesn't matter. What we need is our next plan."
