All Chapters of After Dark: Chapter 11 - Chapter 18

'You all will be grouped into 5 groups. Each batch will have 10 hunters'.  'The first batch will move the day after tomorrow, I will call out the names of the ones to go tomorrow in the next two hours, till then you all should move to your various rooms. Dismiss'. We all moved to our various rooms, Irena and I moving to the same room. 'Do you think She'll pick us to go for the first batch?'. 'What if she picks you for this batch and doesn't pick me?'. 'Or if she picks me and don't pick you?'. She asked panicking. 'It's alright, don't panic, either ways at the end we'll come back and be together'.

We were woken the next day by a trumpet.Irena jumped up and started screaming.'Calm down, they're probably trying to wake us'.'Why?'.'I dunno, let's go outside first'.We scrambled out of bed and quickly changed our clothes not bothering to take our baths.We came out of our room only to see others filing out too. We joined the group heading to the head hall.I looked up to see Julia sitting on a chair placed on the podium, she looked like a fallen angel from the pit of hell.'Good morning, hunters'.

Lucas led us through the dimly lit forest in sure steps with Adrianna walking beside him intentionally sashaying, she was obviously proud of the fact that it was her man that was bold enough to take the lead. Lucas walked like he had been in the forest before, like he was used to walking through dimly lit and scary forest probably full of shadows waiting for us to come near before they devoured us. As we went deep into the forest murmuring started to rise, people were starting to get less scared because we had been walking for at least 2 hours and nothing had happened yet.  The only sign of living things were rabbits running around the thick bushes at the sight if us.Adrianna still stayed stuck at Lucas's side and I wondered how long she'd do that before she actually gets bored and move to talk t

A sudden chill started from my spine and worked it's way up my neck. I sat up from my stiff position on the ground disturbing Irena in the process. I was too preoccupied with the apprehension that something bad was about to happen to apologize to her. I looked around slowly, not to fast to warrant an attack in case there were some things waiting for a movement to attack. And I saw them. A tiny gasp, which I barely caught left Irena's mouth and I could see them stir. The forest around had plenty pairs of red laser like eyes. I could guess that the creatures probably thought they were well hidden while keeping an eye on us but they must be some dumb creatures if they didn't think their eyes would give them away so the only way out for us is to try to outsmart them or we become fast food to them. I turned back towards Irena who looked about to pass out and motioned for her to stay quiet. I gestured with m
