Episode 5
Back at the cabin. After a long warm shower, Sam lay in her bed. Her mind flashed back to the book shop incident. That young man's face kept playing in her head. He has stunning features and those eyes were captivating enough to make any girl melts in front of him but Sam thought otherwise. She saw through him. Those eyes are traps for his prey.
Sam
If I can see through him...Does he too sees through me?
Sam
Where did he come from? And what did he want?
Sam
Do we have the same strong instincts and abilities?
Sam
He is the first I've met so far...I hope he's the last.
Sam
God...please don't ever let me see him again.
She prayed softly. Soon, Sam fell asleep into the slumber of the night.
At the carnival, the crew was packing up for the day. Jazza was stacking the boxes of supplies onto the rack when a woman entered the tent. It was the carnival's owner, she came up to him.
Carnival owner
Jazza, I've got an extra job for you tomorrow!
Jazza
But I've got a lot on my hands tomorrow.
Carnival owner
Here's the list. I'm not taking no for an answer!
Carnival owner
No buts, just do it.
Jazza was frustrated, but he had no options to retaliate. He depends on this job to survive. At the very moment the owner left, another guy came into the tent.
Noot
You're still working? It's late. Come on, let's go.
Jazza
Gimme a minute. Just one more box.
Noot
What did that old lady said to you?
Jazza
Well, the same thing every time.
Jazza passed the list to Noot. Noot's eyes enlarged at the sight of the paper as he read the descriptions written on it.
Noot
No way! That's double the load than today!
Noot
She's crazy! I can't believe we're still working for her.
Jazza
Ha ha ha... But she's not as crazy as you, my friend.
Noot
Oh! You're saying I'm crazy now?
Noot
Waaaaachaaaaa! Be prepared to taste the ultimate fist of fire!
Noot started throwing fake punches at his friend. Jazza dodged with speed from every attack. Eventually, Noot loses his breath and was panting heavily.
Noot
Y...You... You've got fast reflexes, bro...
Jazza
Let's go, Noot. I'm done here.
Noot
Phew! Yeah. Let's go.
The two friends walked towards the open space outside the carnival. There, parked a number of camper vans. And in one of those camper vans, is where Jazza and Noot stayed. As well as the rest of the crew, each camper van accommodates two staffs of the carnivals.
As they walked, the surroundings became still and quiet. Too quiet. Jazza glanced around and found the other staffs have already retired in their vans. No one was seen outside their vans. Noot and Jazza were the only one left now.
Suddenly, Jazza pulled Noot by the shirt.
Jazza
Something is watching us. There. Behind the bushes.
Noot's eyes scanned the bushes and he saw them. Huge glowing eyes were glaring at them without a sound. They startled him.
Jazza
Stay behind me. And move slowly with me.
Noot immediately hung on to Jazza's arm. Jazza never took his eyes off them. His body formed into a defense as he kept Noot behind him for safety.
At last, they manage to enter the camper van safely in one piece.
Noot
What is that, bro?! Those eyes are huge! There must be three or more of those things out there!
Noot
We should tell the boss about this!
Noot
What?! It could be some kind of dangerous animals lurking outside, bro!
Jazza peeked out the small window. Observing them.
Jazza
We are not their fight...
Noot
Fight?! We are more likely to be their dinner, bro!
Jazza
We wouldn't be here talking if they were hungry, Noot.
Jazza
I... I just know, okay. They just happened to be there and saw us.
Noot
Whatever you say, bro.
Noot
Aah! I'm so tired! So, what's for dinner?
Jazza
Let's get cooking, shall we?
Noot handed a thumbs up and started to dig in the mini fridge for something to cook.
