Visit to Tyson's

CHAPTER THREE

AVRIL

I woke up in a strange environment, the last thing I could remember was being bitten by a snake, and then an unknown figure before passing out.

The room smelt and looked unpleasant.

"What am I doing here?" I asked not expecting a reply.

At least say thank you to your saviour first, I heard a masculine voice as a man walked into the room.

He had only a pair of trousers on, he exposed his bare chest that was covered with hair.

"Why not put on your shirt? Why will you walk around like that? What did you do to me?" I asked checking myself to ensure I wasn't touched by him.

"I am Tyson your saviour, nice to meet you", he said with a smile as he sat beside me.

"I am Avril", I replied in a very low and weak tone.

"You're in safe hands and I am a very nice person, your brother is on his way to pick you up. His number was the only number in your emergency information so I decided to call him" he said.

"Thank you" I replied.

"What happened to me?" I asked curiously.

He was about to reply when Ariel walked into the room. Tyson walked up to him and they greeted each other like they knew each other before.

Tyson whispered something in Ariel's ear and they both went outside to discuss.

They seemed to be talking about something important, I could see them from the holes in the wood the room was made of, although not clear but the way their lips moved and the way Ariel reacted they seem to be talking about something very important.

I tried to read their lips but it was difficult and I didn't get anything from what they talked about.

Ariel and Tyson walked inside after minutes of talking.

"You're lucky mom and dad didn't come home yesterday, they travelled for a 5 days business meeting and sent their driver to pick up their stuff", Ariel said as he took his sit beside me.

I sat up.

"What about Jumai? I asked peering into Ariel's worried face.

"She helped pack mom and dad's stuff, I told her you slept at Saly's place when I got the call from Ty... From your saviour by 8 pm yesterday".

I sighed and relaxed my back on the wall.

"What did he tell you?" I asked Ariel, I was referring to Tyson.

"We'd just talk about it when we get home", Ariel replied.

I couldn't pay attention in class anymore as Avril clouded my whole thought.

I fell in love with her even more as the day broke.

It was like she used a charm on me, I have never felt this way with any girl, I was only interested in playing with them and dumping them.

My eyes were fixed on the clock as I prayed silently for the time to tick faster so the bell for a break would be rung.

It was taking longer than usual for the long hand of the clock to get to six while the shorthand was at ten.

Tick!! My heart leapt for joy as the clock hit 10: 30 I couldn't wait to get fresh air outside this classroom.

Students left the class and headed to different places, some straight to the canteen, some to their siblings' class, some to get their lovers while others stayed back to continue writing, reading or just moping at the board.

I wanted to see Avril.

I packed my books in my bag and placed them neatly under my desk.

"Hope we are going to rehearse for the forthcoming talent show now?" Daniel asked as he and Andrew walked up to me.

"I'm not sure, maybe tomorrow", I replied nonchalantly

The upcoming talent show belonged to the handsome Trio was the name of our band.

Others would only participate to be seen and to have fun while we'd participate to win.

I brought out a small mirror and comb from my pocket. I combed my hair forward and stared at the mirror.

I placed the mirror and comb back in my pocket when I was satisfied with my looks and hurried out of the classroom.

I got to Avril's class and changed my mind about talking to her when I saw her seated with her twin brother Ariel. They seemed to be in an important conversation.

'I'd have to rehearse with my friends after all', I thought.

I turned around and left, disappointed I was unable to talk to Avril.

AVRIL

It was obvious Ariel is hiding something from me as he purposely avoided the discussion about what happened the other night.

I tried everything in my power to get words out of his mouth but every effort proved abortive.

"Avril, I want us to go somewhere tonight during the full moon", Ariel said

"We are not allowed to go out during the full moon Ariel, the werewolves would be out to receive strength from the moon", I replied.

"We'd leave the house before the moon is completely full, I want to show you something, you're going to enjoy the adventure", he pressed further.

Ariel knew I loved adventure and would jump on any opportunity to explore but now it's my fear of getting hurt by the werewolves against my love for adventure.

It was a hard decision to make, but I thought about it thoroughly and decided to go with Ariel.

He wouldn't bring me in harm's way on purpose and I wouldn't let him go out alone, it's dangerous.

"What are we going to tell Jumai", I asked Ariel

"Leave that to me" he replied with a smile

"You always have a way of getting us in and out of trouble", I said.

Ariel was a genius and always came up with strategies and ideas.

Although he got us into trouble a lot of times had the right solution to them all. I trusted Ariel to take care of this since it was his idea.

"So are you in or not?" Ariel asked glaring at me.

"Mmmmm, I'm in", I said hesitantly.

Ariel hugged me tightly excited at my reply.

"Choke me", I said pretending to be angry.

Ariel and I left the house around 6 pm I held tight to his hands as he led me towards the same bush part I got into trouble the other day.

"Ariel, what are you doing?" I asked not convinced about taking the risk with Ariel.

"Trust me, Avril, why not trust me?" He replied.

"Hmm, Ariel you know what happened the......."

"Shush, nothing is going to happen for Ariel is here", Ariel boasted raising his left hand in the air as he exposed his muscles.

I tried so hard to control my fears as we walked further into the bush parts.

Not long after we got to Tyson's house, was it supposed to be a house or a hut?

"What are we doing here?" I dragged him back as we came to a halt.

"Avril, why not trust me?" He asked

Trust me was Ariel's favourite word whenever he wanted us to do something mischievous.

Ariel opened the door and we both walked into the room.

I held my nose with my fingers, I didn't like the atmosphere in there one bit.

Tyson greeted us with a smile and offered me a sit, he walked into another room in the hut with Ariel.

I wondered what they were up to that made them sneak around.

I also wondered why Tyson lived in such a place, why he stayed all alone and hid from the world.

I wondered what happened to his family and why he wasn't with them.

'why would Ariel bring me here?' I thought

Ariel and Tyson returned, Tyson had a chain in his hand while Avril had a handcuff in his.

My heart skipped, what were they going to do with those?
