Finding II: White Dove Academy

We've been walking for 3 hours. It's night time, and we're almost out of food. Reese has already woken up, but Zero insisted on still carrying him. Reese protested but eventually gave in. "Monti, how much longer is it?" I asked him while being really freaking tired. "Actually, we're here," he said, and we all looked around. "Uhhh, all I see is a bunch of grass and trees." Lye says confused. "Ya, it should be around ere somewhere...uhhh...ah! Ere it is!" Monti says moving a rock along the grass in a specific pattern. "I saw dem do dis once," he said. He moved it up, down, diagonally, and then he lifted it and placed it back down. We could feel the ground shake, and a door opened up on the floor.

We looked inside of it, but it looked like it didn't have an end to it. "So...what do we do now?" Lye asks Monti. "Ya jump in," he replied. "Excuse me? We have to jump in there?" Reese asked while still on Zero's back. "Yessum, I seen da damons do it all da time." "Come on guys, we have to trust Monti, he lead us this far. Plus, he's Zayne's father." I said while reassuring them. "Alright, I trust you Monti." Peach says. "Me too," "Same," Cherry and Zero add. Lye looks down at the door then up at Monti, and he says "I do too!" "Reese?" I asked looking at him, he sighs and says, "Fine, so do I." We all smiled, and Monti said, "Good luck y'all, and when ya get out. Come n see me at da spot we first met at. I'd love ta meet dis Henry fella." Monti says with a smile. "We will Monti, and thank you." I told him.

Reese POV

After we say our goodbyes to Monti, he heads back in the opposite direction. "Alright I'll go first," Ryder said before jumping in first, and we could hear him screaming on the way down. "You ready?" Zero asks me. I nod and he jumps down with me still on his back. I grabbed him tighter and I started screaming. Which made Zero laugh for some reason. I looked up to see Momo and Peach jumping down while holding hands. Cherry and Lye also jump down while holding each other in a tight embrace. I looked down again and closed my eyes. I took a peek by opening one eye and I see that we're approaching the ground. Ryder falls to the ground first and says, "Fuck me! That hurt!" Me and Zero fall next and luckily I fell on top of him. "Ahh.." He winces, and I apologized and got off of him. Then Momo and Peach fall on Zero too. "Ow!" He yells out. They apologized and helped him up.

Lye falls and then Cherry falls on top of him, "Thanks Lye~" she says with a smile. "Yuorf welpcomf" We hear him say with his face still in the ground. We all looked around to see a castle in front of us. It looked like a medieval castle. Shit looks scary as fuck. "Is it too late to go back?" Lye asks nervously. "Yeah," Ryder quickly responds. He walks towards the castle and Cherry screams out, "Wait Ry! Ugh, he never listens." "Well, if I were in that castle, you would do anything to get me back right?" Lye asks Cherry. She looks at him as if to say 'you're not helping' and goes after Ryder. Lye just stands there with a sad expression; Zero pats his back and says, "Sorry bro," and he starts walking to the castle too. I follow him as well and I hear Peach say, "Sorry, my sister is kind of a tsundere." "A what?" Lye asks, "Look it up," Peach says before walking off after the rest of them. I shrugged and followed after them.

When we get there, we started being more stealthy. We all immediately hide behind a bush because we saw two demons guarding the castle entrance. "Guys, I am legit so scared right now." Lye said while shaking. "We all are Lye, but we're here for Henry, remember that." Ryder said while looking like he also wants to rethink this whole thing. "Look, there is an opening at that window up there!" Peach says aloud. We all shush her and she apologizes. "How do you suggest we get up there P?" Cherry asks her. "Guys, did you forget I can stop time?" Zero says. "Wait you can?!" Lye asks aloud. We shush him too, and he covers his mouth. "Yeah I can, you guys have to touch me in order for you to not be affected. Oh and it only lasts one minute at a time. Then I have to wait another fifteen minutes before I can do it again."

"Aw, damn, that's laaamee," Lye says while crossing his arms. Cherry slaps him on the back of his head and he yells out, "Ow!" "Shut up! Are y'all trying to get us caught?!" Ryder yells out. "Now you're being loud too!" I said yelling at him. "Alright, everyone, shut the fuck up." We all looked at Cherry in awe. "Let's go with Zero's plan," she says, while looking at Zero. He nods and we all touch him before he snaps his finger. "It worked," Zero said, and we look around to see both of the demon guards frozen. "We only have one minute, so let's hurry inside the castle." We nod and run to the castle door while still holding onto him. When we open it, we see an empty hall way.

"Looks like no guards are in here." Momo says while looking around. We turned the corner to see two demons in the hallway but they are still frozen, and we run past them. "We have about 30 seconds left guys!" Zero yells out. We all keep running inside the castle, passing by many demons on our way. "Guys look! It looks like a map." I yelled out to them. "Oh yeah, wait, look, it has a dungeon! Henry might be there!" Ryder says pointing at the dungeon on the map. "We have 15 seconds left!" Zero yells out. "Fuck!! Let's split up, we can find the dungeon faster!!" Ryder yells out. "Wait, don't we have to keep holding onto Zero?" I yelled out. Ryder lets go of Zero to see if he becomes frozen, but he still manages to move. "Oh, I guess since you touched me before I stopped time it still works on you." Zero says puzzled.

"Yeah, I'm fine, so that means you guys will be too, now let's split up! Hurry!" I yelled out. "Wait, haven't you guys seen horror movies?!" Lye yells back. "This is no time to argue!!" Cherry yells out. We all let go of Zero and Ryder says, "We'll split in two groups, Lye and Cherry, Momo and Peach, and Zero and Reese." "What about you Ry?!" Peach yells out. "I don't feel like being a third wheel to any of you." He replied. "What?!" Lye yelled out. "8 seconds guys!!" Zero yells out as well. "I can take care of myself!" Ryder also yells; everyone is yelling at this point. "But-" "JUST GO!" Ryder yells at us again cutting off Cherry. We all looked around and started running. I go with Zero, Momo goes with Peach, Cherry goes with Lye and Ryder goes by himself. We all go different ways but I really hope no one gets caught.

"We have 5 seconds left!!" Zero yells out while looking around. "There!" I yelled out, pointing to a room. We run into it, and we see that it's a bedroom, but then we see two demons naked on the bed. Were they having...oh god. They're frozen luckily. We saw a closet and we ran inside before the last second. The minute wears off and we can hear the demons resuming their sex on the bed. Oh god... Me and Zero are both out of breath. We can hardly breathe and I start freaking out more, this closet is so small. I have claustrophobia, but I've never told anyone. Zero puts his hand over my mouth and whispers, "What's wrong, why are you breathing so hard?" I take his hand off my mouth, and say, "I have...claustrophobia" He hugs me, and says, "It's okay, I'm here, calm down."

I hugged him back and and I could feel my nerves calming down a bit. I put my hands on top of his shoulders and he asks, "You okay?" His voice really is deep. I guess I just never paid any mind to how deep it is. We both looked at each other, still breathing hard. Has he...always been this good looking? We keep looking at each other and all of a sudden he asks, "Can I...kiss you?" I don't say anything, my face starts to get extremely hot. He pulls me in closer, and my hands go from his shoulders to his around his neck. He kisses me, and my eyes go wide. I my eyes were open while we kissed. I started getting into it, so I closed them and kissed him back.

I can't believe we're doing this inside the closet of a demon. Not to mention the fact that they're out there having sex. "Mmm" "Mmph" We both make noises while we kiss each other. He pulls my waist closer to him and at this point we've been kissing for almost 15 seconds. We stopped kissing, and we both looked at each other, breathing even harder. I looked at him, and he looks at me. He smiles, and I look away. I pushed him off, and he chuckles. "I can't believe we just did that." I whispered. "I can," he said before biting his lips. He pulls me in again, and I said, "Stop that, we're here for Henry, not your personal enjoyment."

"I know that, but you look really cut-" I put my hand over his mouth. "I know what you're going to say. Don't call me that." He takes my hand off and pins it against the closet wall. As if this shit wasn't small enough. "Zero.." "Yes?" He says putting his head close to mine. "St-stop.." I said, turning beat red. He chuckles and let's go of my hand, "I hate you so much." I said before pushing him again. He just looks at me and smiles. All of a sudden we hear complete silence. "You think they're done?" I asked. Before Zero could speak, the closet door opens and we stand there in awe. The demons look at us with a shocked expression. Oh shit...we're fucked...
