Chapter 17

********* Emerald’s P. O. V********* It’s been four days since our last discussion with Mrs. Lydia, and it’s three days remaining before we embark on our journey. Mrs. Lydia thought we put the remaining three days into good use. How? We asked. Before letting my precious babies go, I would love us to share some last moments together with pictures and all. That sounds like a great idea. Right guys? Yeah, they both replied. So to start with today, we are going to the park. Park?? We all chorused. Parks are for little children Mrs. Lydia, I said. Ok, where do you decide we go? To the movies or an arcade. Movies please, Kim and Kelly chorused. Why? Is anything wrong with going to an arcade? Everything is wrong, one we are going to spend unnecessary money for stupid games and two Mrs. Lydia isn’t that of a teenager like us anymore. So the movies would be more formal and mature. Kim said. Wow, that’s actually the first time you’ve said something reasonable. Kelly added. And this would be the first time you are trying to pick a fight with her, I added just so a fight wouldn’t erupt. I would pretend I didn’t hear what you said. Wow, acting mature, that’s another improvement. Kelly!!!! Just please stop already. Don’t ruin today for us all. Ok, ok, you don’t have to yell, he giggled. Now everyone go and dress up and I’ll go get my camera. Mrs. Lydia said. Ok then, off we go. I gestured for everyone to go to their rooms and get dressed. ******* Kelly’s P. O. V******** I got to my room contemplating on what to wear to look breathtaking, just to see the reaction on Kim’s face. I really enjoyed teasing her out there, but I didn't get the reaction I was expecting because Emerald interfered. But anyway, it was fun. I took out a pair of jeans, a white t-shirt and some sneakers. I marveled at myself in the mirror before styling my hair in a pompadour, before stepping out. Today was going to be a long day with Mrs. Lydia, so also tomorrow and the next. We would be going to the movies today, and then to the park and beach tomorrow and the next. I will look forward to the day after tomorrow at the beach because it’s going to be red-lettered. I got out only to see Mrs. Lydia, sitting and waiting for everyone in the living room. I knew that definitely the two girls would be the ones to take our Time. I sat with her and waited for what felt like eternity. After some minutes they came out looking delightful. I took some time to scrutinize them. I felt so lucky being in the midst of such beautiful women. Lest I forget I also noticed Kim taking glances at me as I smiled inwardly, I don’t blame her, I also looked ravishingly hot. When we're all checking ourselves out, Mrs. Lydia told us to start moving to the nearest bus stop before we miss our bus. We got to the bus stop and got on the bus we boarded. Soon we landed at the cinema and picked a scary werewolf movie to watch. Because we thought it would be a bit educational to us since we are still on the journey of finding our true self. Before we got inside Mrs. Lydia took pictures of us. Well, I saw that coming because she definitely didn’t carry her camera along for fancy. We got in with some popcorn of course, we sat down on the seat number given to us. Kim was sitting next to me by my right then Mrs. Lydia by my left, then Emerald at the other end of Kim. The movie started with the title. THE ALPHA’S LUNA, wow, just the name alone, I’m intrigued to know more. Seeing that the movie was based on my kind. ************* Soon we were out of the cinema and we were heading home, but my mind kept on thinking about the romance scenes the alpha werewolf had with his Luna. Mrs. Lydia took so many great pictures of us before we left the cinema. I took a quick look at Kim and smiled as creepy thoughts of if she was my Luna started flowing through my brain. That would be nice though, to have a Nagging Luna. We would be great couples, even better than the one in the movie I thought as a weird grin engulfed my face. We got home and had a very great time, as Mrs. Lydia told us some really crazy stories about me and Kim’s childhood. I couldn't help but laugh so hard. Kim just sat there calling me names because she was the main silly character of the story. After a nice chat and dinner, we all retired to our bedrooms as tomorrow was another busy day for us again before our trip. KIM’S POV When we all got back from the cinema, Mrs. Lydia thought to engage us all in a little chat before dinner, but I instantly regretted why I stayed back for dinner because the topic she brought up was so absurd. How could she think that of all topics she could discuss she chose to talk about how silly and nagging I was as a child? I just sat there fuming with anger as I watched Kelly just sit there and laugh at me. I called him so many names, but he didn't seem to care, he just went about laughing at me so hard. Soon it was dinner time and we all ate dinner silently before retiring to our room. There were just a few days left before we embarked on the journey to our various kingdoms, or packs as they called it. I had to admit, I was having cold feet regarding this journey, because it was a risky one, traveling through bushes, forests, mountains, valleys, and seas just to stop an oncoming war. It was worth it because we would be saving lives. But what if we don't make it halfway through the journey? All these were my concerns and fears. That's why I never agreed to embark on this journey this week, but the deed has already been done. We can only embrace this and allow life to throw different challenges at us. This episode is going to be THE JOURNEY OF NO RETURN I thought.
