Flight 2
Mason studied her for a moment, her calm face laced with hidden tension. Even when she tried to hide, he could clearly see through her. Without a word Mason leaned back in his own seat, allowing the silence to settle between them.A few minutes later, the flight attendant returned with his order.“Sir—” she paused, her eyes briefly flicking to Cleopatra, whose eyes now fluttered open. “Here is your request.”Cleopatra turned slowly toward Mason, and their eyes met.‘Is she jealous?’ Mason thought.Ignoring the momentary awkwardness, he asked softly, “Are you hungry?”Cleopatra nodded.Mason turned to the attendant. “Could I get another? My girlfriend will be having this.”He took the tray from the attendant and placed it gently in front of Cleopatra.“Oh,” the attendant said, her gaze lingering on Cleopatra for a second before returning to Mason. “Right away, sir.”Cleopatra lifted the wine glass, took a sip, and frowned; then her eyes lit up, but she quickly replaced her expression,
Arriving At Song Island
The airplane commenced its gradual descent, gliding smoothly through a dense curtain of clouds as Song Island gradually emerged beneath them. Its breathtaking terrain was laced with pure nature, prompting a wave of gasps spread through the cabin. Everyone quickly pressed their faces to the windows, their eyes wide with awe. Their gazes drifted across the waters, sparkling under the afternoon sun to the coastline, holding several tall palm trees. They all stood in a line like vigilant sentinels with its fronds swaying gently in the breeze as if welcoming the aircraft’s arrival. A few distance from the resort at the shore, modern buildings with minimalist designs rose faintly above the greenery, hinting at the island’s developed areas.For a moment, it felt almost surreal; such an unspoiled, stunning paradise seemed too perfect to be real. One student nearly lifted out of their seat, with his eyes glued to the window with an expression of wonder, as if the island might vanish if they b
Regulations
The sound of an incoming vehicle attracted everyone's attention, and a brief silence passed through the crowd. The students narrowed their gaze to the two coastal buses, which stopped a short distance from them. The bold letters crested on one side of the buses made the division painfully clear.Murmurs instantly rippled through the crowd the moment the realization finally settled.“What? We are using separate buses?” one of the students spat.“That’s ridiculous.”“We just landed, for goodness’ sake," another voice lamented.Some couples stood frozen, with their fingers laced together as if refusing to let go might bend the rules. Others who had made perfect vacation plans exchanged bitter looks, with annoyance sharp in their eyes. Unlike the other student, whose face wore an expression far from satisfaction, Mason remained unfazed. He didn't know why the students were still surprised at the announcement. They have been in the university for years, enough to know the rules and regula
Temporary Dormitory
The bus finally rolled to a halt at the edge of the island’s temporary dormitory compound, and the faint scent of salt from the nearby sea drifted in through the half-open windows. Above them, the moon hung, casting a silver veil across the landscape. Uncertainty lingered through the bus, and the students stirred from their reflections on the contrast between the moonlight and the warmer glow spilling from the compound ahead.The dormitory towered above them from the distant, almost modest and welcoming. The exterior was bathed in a mixture of pale yellow and the golden shimmer from lamps fixed along the wall perimeter. The doors of the bus hissed open, and one by one, the students exited, with their luggage in their hands. Few had their backpacks slung over their shoulders; others dragged rolling suitcases that rattled over the uneven ground. The fatigue of travel lingered in their movements, but curiosity brightened their eyes as they glanced around the unfamiliar compound.“So t
Accommodation List
At the front stood a stern-looking woman with a digital tablet in hand, her voice firm and unwavering as she read through the list of assigned roommates.Each name echoed through the lobby like a verdict.Mason stood somewhere in the middle of the crowd, his fingers wrapped around the strap of one of his duffel bags. His eyes wandered over the familiar faces, some excited, some anxious, others already forming silent alliances. This was temporary, only a few days in the dorms before they returned to civilization.“Samule, Jude, Peter, Alec, Hopkins, and Jadin." The sound of the woman's voice jolted him from his thoughts.Across the lobby, a sharp scoff cut through the air.Jacob and his associate stood at the far corner, dressed in polished confidence that bordered on arrogance. Jacob’s frown looked permanent, as if stitched into his expression.“They want me to share a room with this lowlife?!” he spat, loud enough for
Kyle
Mason lay on his back, eyes fixed on the cracked white ceiling above him. The faint hum of the air conditioner blended with distant laughter from the hallway. The room was a standard dorm with bunk beds welded to the floor, metal lockers, and a study desk bolted beneath a window that overlooked the restless sea. Above him, the university’s crest had been carefully carved into the plaster, bold and proud.It took a few seconds for the realization to settle in.He knew the university had private partnerships with quiet investments scattered beyond its official campus, but he hadn’t expected this.Song Island.He swallowed slowly.Who would have thought I’d own property on Song Island? The thought curled at the edge of his lips, forming a faint grin. Ownership meant leverage. "Leverage" meant control.And control meant survival.Across the room, he could feel King’s eyes on him, curious, calculating. Mason didn’t look his way. He didn’t need to. He was used to being watched.The door sud
Levaric University
The dormitory bell rang again longer this time, and its metallic cry sliced through the corridor like a blade. It felt like a countdown lingering in the walls.The two boys in front of him immediately snapped to listening as the hallway that had been quiet seconds ago erupted into motion.Shoes scraped against tile, and I assisted with nervous laughter. A door down the hall slammed, and someone cursed under their breath.“I guess you better hurry up,” King finally said, flashing Mason a small grin that never quite reached his eyes. “You don’t want to be late for the first day at Song Island.”There was something deliberate in the way he said it. Like he knew more than he was letting on.Peter, who didn't care what their conversation was, didn’t even look back. He slipped into the growing crowd.Mason watched as King followed suit, taking a last glance before disappearing through the corridor.For a second, he stood there. The first day was supposed to feel exciting with the new enviro
First Event
Deep inside Song Island, the bus finally rolled to a slow, groaning stop, allowing the silence of their tires to linger for a second.For a moment, nothing moved, and the students all sat frozen in their seats, staring through the dusty windows as if the view outside would somehow change.Apart from the cracked road and the tire trail ending where the bus had parked, the environment was nothing but endless forest.Ahead of them, three rose like ancient pillars, and their trunks were thick and twisted, stretching so high that their crowns tangled together to form a massive canopy. The deeper parts of the forest were swallowed by shadows so dense they looked almost solid. Damp mist clung to the air, and the faint sounds of insects, assisted by rustling leaves, and distant animal calls echoed like whispers in the distance.Civilization felt like a distant memory.The road they had traveled now looked like a thin scar cutting through the wilderness leading back hundreds of miles to the w
A Blind Walk
The crowd immediately scattered into several groups. Names were being called, and students hurried around as panic quietly spread among them. Some clutched their bracelets while others glanced nervously toward the forest entrance, as if expecting something to step out of the shadows at any moment.Mason stood among them, his eyes shifting between the dark mouth of the forest and the bracelet resting on his wrist.He didn’t need a stethoscope to know what everyone around him was feeling. He could practically hear it. Dozens of hearts hammering violently inside chests. Fear had a sound, and right now, it echoed everywhere.“The six of us should always walk together,” a deep voice suddenly spoke beside him.The boy who had been nominated as their group leader stepped forward. His name was Kurt. His shoulders were broad, and his large frame towered over most of the other students. Unlike the others, his expression remained calm, though a faint crease rested between his brows.“I haven’t b
Silent Noise
The sharp crack of a breaking branch shattered the silence of the forest, and everyone snapped their head toward the sound.The group froze instantly, and for a moment, no one dared to breathe. The forest itself seemed to pause, as if every insect and bird had fallen silent to listen.Mason felt his pulse pounding loudly in his ears. His fingers tightened around the small LED light in his hand. The other students’ lights trembled as they cut through the darkness toward the bushes ahead.Even Kurt didn’t move. The calm confidence that had surrounded him earlier had faded into tense stillness.They waited for an unknown number of seconds, and when nothing emerged from the bushes, from the back of the formation, Max released a long breath he had been holding."Damn, I thought something was actually there,” Draco muttered quietly. The tension in the group slowly loosened, but no one completely relaxed.“Let’s keep moving,” Kurt said at last, his voice now steady but low. “Remember, we ha
