LORELEI
Pasado alas-diyes na kami nakarating sa aming destinasyon. Pumasok ang bus sa mapunong daan na nagmukhang papasok sa isang gubat. Sa sobrang tayog ng mga puno at lapad ng mga dahon, halos naharangan na ang pagpasok ng sinag ng araw. It also felt like we were moving uphill, waking Jamie who had no idea what dimension we were in.
After ten minutes of traveling through that dimly lit road, the bus finally reached the end of the trail. Muli na namang sumalubong sa amin ang nakasisilaw na liwanag. Sa 'di kalayuan, natanaw na namin ang isang malaking wooden cabin. Huminto ang bus sa tapat nito at isa-isa kaming pinababa ng sasakyan.
"We're here at last," Loki spoke as if he almost died of boredom. Wala siyang ginawa ka buong trip kundi tumutok sa bintana at tingnan ang dinaraanan namin. Isinalag niya ang kanyang kamay mula sa liwanag. "I thought the bus was gonna take us to a kidnapper's hideout."
The long stretch of forest. The uphill climb. The fresh air that filled our lungs. Masasabi kong malayo kami sa siyudad.
"This looks like a private property." Alistair's eyes traveled from one spot to another. I also did the same. "No one's here except us."
All I could see was the vast green scenery around us. Tila nasa ibang mundo na kami. Parang anumang sandali mula ngayon, may susulpot na mga diwata upang batiin kami.
"Ang ganda sigurong mag-camping dito, 'no?" Palinga-linga si Jamie sa aming paligid. Napaturo ang kanyang daliri sa langit. "Imagine putting up a tent here tapos mag-stargazing tayong apat. What a good way to enjoy the evening!"
"That's gonna be nice." I nodded. Na-imagine ko tuloy na may nakatayo ngang tent sa spot na itinuro niya. Tapos nakahiga kaming apat sa may damuhan habang nakatingala sa kalangitan. But the image instantly vanished. "But we didn't come here to look at the stars."
"I have a feeling that they'd ask us to camp here," Alistair muttered, his eyes still looking around the area. "Gaya ng sinabi ni Jamie, mukha ngang camping site ang lugar na 'to. I can see a river over there."
"You're right." Maggie appeared behind us, startling me and Jamie. Parang kabute siya na sumulpot. "This is a camping site owned privately by the Emerson family."
Her fellow execom officers carried the storage boxes out of the bus compartment and brought them to the wooden cabin. One of them has a recognizable face and bangs that covered one of his eyes. May nakaipit din na lollipop stick sa pagitan ng kanyang mga ngipin. That's Rye Rubio, right?
"Emerson family?" I tore my gaze from Rye and returned it to Maggie. "Isn't that—"
"The family of our student council president, Emeraude Emerson," she answered, tossing a glance at the young woman talking to Luthor a few meters away from us. Her permed hair reached a few inches past her shoulders. I heard that her family's quite well off, but I was not aware that they own a camping site.
