章節 147: Chapter 140: Kidnapped!
This big group of teenagers from Burkendall town (with the exception of a certain teenager from Port Robston Bay) were clearly enjoying their hot meal of bbq. Happy voices and laughter could be heard from their table as they joked and talked among themselves, ignoring the discreet glances from other patrons.
It was a cool evening with a swift breeze sweeping through the air. And because the bbq place was full inside, they could only eat outside. Luckily, tables and chairs have been arranged to accommodate a large number of patrons. Two portable BBQ grill pan were placed in the middle of the tables and several plates filled with meats and vegetables all over the tables. Since it was a cold night, it makes sense to eat some hot dinner.
Amber was placing some beef strips on the grill pan while Erick sat beside her, urging her to add more. The others unintentionally received a 'dogfood' show as they watched Amber serve Erick food, getting food from the pan.
Bastian, who sat across Erick, looked at Amber, held out his empty plate to her. "What about me?" he asked, a pity look on his face.
Surprised, Amber could only reach for his plate.
But before she could grab it, Erick had seized her hand and glared at Bastian. "Get your own food," he growled. 'Get your own mate too,' he thought angrily as well.
Pouting, Bastian pulled his plate back.
Feeling pity for the young man, Dana grabbed his plate and began to fill it with some food, making Bastian smile widely.
They continued to fill the pans with more food while talking and joking with one another once again.
Not wanting to return home at a late hour, they quickly finished off their dinner.
Since they will be going in the same direction, they decided to convoy together on the way home. But seeing that Bastian had no transport to go home, they decided to wait for his ride, together with him. Though, Erick did keep telling him without words that he should just go home alone, in other words, go shift and go home.
Of course, he could not do that since there were some people in their group who were not shifters; people like Dana.
They were hanging out at the parking lot while waiting when suddenly the lights suddenly went out.
Shocked, they looked around them, wondering what had happened, feeling confused as well.
They tried to shout for help but the weird thing was that the people who were eating outside the restaurant did not seem to hear them. As Erick tried to approach them, he suddenly bumped into an invisible wall.
His face darkened. He felt like he had experienced this before. It was sort of similar to what had happened at the park a couple of weeks ago.
Dana, who was a human, felt frightened as she walked closer to Jeayan, who had a frown on her face. "What's going on?" she asked, fear in her voice.
Jeayan just shook her head, not answering her. A solemn look filled her face as she looked around her cautiously.
Bastian frowned darkly. It seems like there were some people who had the guts to trap them here, knowing that they were shifters. He looked at the two human beings near him and his frown grew deeper. Even with the fact that there were still some humans with them, they did not really care at all.
Hamish walked closer to Erick and said softly, "I tried to send a mindlink over to Noaz but I can't get through."
Erick shook his head slowly. "It's alright. He will soon realize when he tries to send a mindlink to us," he said with confidence.
The teengars all huddled together, with Erick, Bastian and Hamish standing before the group, trying to protect them.
Just then a black smoke appeared in front of them. Once the black smoke dispersed, a young man appeared out of it.
All those from Burkendall high school were surprised to see the young man. Bastian frowned in confusion, not recognizing the young man.
"Krys? What are you doing here?" Amber asked, looking confused. She thought he had left with his friends. How did he suddenly appear in front of them and why and how did he come out of that black smoke? Many questions swamped her mind at that time.
A familiar smile blossomed on the young man's face as he walked closer to them, both of his hands in his pockets. "Me? Ah, nothing. I'm just here to meet up with you before you left." Standing in front of what seems to be an invisible barrier, he knocked on it, producing a 'thump' sound. "Wow. This is really sturdy. Seems like my spell works very well."
"Spell?" Erick repeated, scowling. "Are you a warlock?"
Krys smiled at him. "Bingo!" he said, shaking his finger at Erick.
Bastian took a step forward. "You're the disgusting smell that I scented near Erick's girl back then!" he exclaimed in surprise.
Krys turned to him, a mocking frown on his face. "How rude. Who are you calling 'disgusting', you mangy mutt??" he retorted back.
Dana looked at them, still looking surprised at the same time, frightened. She really has no idea what was going on. First, there was a sudden invisible barrier and then there was a young man, coming out from the black smoke. Then Erick called him a warlock. Then he called Bastian, 'a mangy mutt'. Does that mean, she was surrounded by werewolves?
She looked around her, this time, fearfully.
As if she knew what the other girl was thinking, Amber walked closer to Dana and calmed her down. "It's going to be alright. Don't worry. You know them for a long time, don't you? You should know how they are until now."
Dana took a deep breath and nodded, as she tried to find comfort in Amber's words. She was right. She should think logically, rather than emotionally. She knew them for a long time. She shouldn't just listen to the rumours and whatnot to shape what she thought of them.
Realization dawned on her, just as she was thinking of them. She turned to Amber, saying softly, "You knew?"
Amber gave her a small smile. "Just recently."
Dana nodded weakly.
"Hey, hey," Krys said, his arms opened wide. "What's this? Come on. You can't even break this little wall off?" he taunted further, sneering.
Erick and the other shifters growled at him. Hamish immediately stripped down, eliciting screams from Amber and Dana, who quickly covered their eyes.
Feeling that they had no choice but to reveal themselves, Hamish shifted to his wolf counterpart.
The sounds of bones creaking and growling resonated throughout the air. Though, the people at the restaurant seemed not to notice as they enjoyed their dinner, looking as if nothing had happened. Apparently, only Krys can see what was happening inside the invisible barrier.
Kaius growled as he stood in front of the other teenagers. Amber and Dana's eyes widened when they saw the huge shifter in front of them. It was Dana's first time seeing a shifter with her own eyes, whereas Amber had seen it before, she could not help but feel amazed whenever she saw them.
Kaius turned to Erick, who nodded. It seems that he was asking for permission to smash the barrier. And when he did receive it, he immediately charged towards the barrier.
However, not only did he not make any dent to the barrier, Kaius even got blown off by it, pushing him away. The rest of the teenagers ran to avoid him before they got caught in it as well.
Kaius blinked his eyes furiously as he held his head, trying to stop the dizziness.
Krys laughed out loud from outside the barrier. "Seriously? It was that strong? Deng. I did not expect that old man's spell was this strong. I should have followed him earlier than the other idiot," he exclaimed.
"Other idiot?" Erick repeated, his eyes narrowed suspiciously at the young warlock.
Krys nodded, still chuckling. "Yea, that other idiot also known as 'Zant'. Man, that was a clean kill!" he said, sounding amazed. "Seems like it was worth it, following that old man. I'm learning a lot."
Erick took a step forward and slammed his fist onto the barrier, growling. "Krys, you'd better release us right now or else…" he slowly threatened.
Krys cocked an eyebrow. "Or else what?" he mocked. "Are you going to go all shifter on me?" He then scoffed as he gestured at Kaius, who was sitting sitting on the ground, looking a bit dazed. "I bet that it would be more useless if you want to shift right now."
He then snapped his fingers and suddenly, a scroll appeared, floating on top of his finger. He squinted his eyes as he read. His eyes widened a bit as he nodded while reading. After he was done, he looked over at the group of teenagers, who were either growling or looking frightened.
His eyes narrowed once more as he studied the teenagers in front of him one by one.
Finally his eyes landed on Bastian, who was scowling deeply at him. A grin appeared on the young warlock's face. He then started to murmur some spells.
Suddenly, a black portal appeared below Bastian, rendering all of them speechless. Before Bastian could say a word, hands started to come out of the portal and grabbed his leg, pulling him down the portal.
Half of his legs were already inside the portal by the time the others had realized what was happening.
Amber, who was closest to Bastian, without thinking, tried to grab Bastian's arm. But instead, she got caught. And soon enough, the two of them got caught and were sucked in the portal before it disappeared.
"AMMMMMMMBBBBBBERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!" Erick shouted as he kneeled beside where the portal was earlier. His eyes widened in fear as he used his hands to try to dig in the ground, his heart beating furiously.
Krys clicked his tongue in distaste as he watched the scene before him. He let out a sigh as he thought of the 'unexpected baggage' he just caught.
Without saying another word, he turned around and vanished in a black smoke.
