Taylor Scott

"I have just gone to explore the nearby areas to see if I find something interesting when suddenly I got hit by something and blanked out.", explained Xan.

"Its fine if you explore the forest but do so in groups so that even if something happens, the same case like yours, they may provide help.", said Udolf even though having some doubts regarding the explanation, accepted the explanation of Xan.

"Ok, as everything looks fine so go rest up and join us after that for further activities."

"Everyone, Xander has come back with no injuries. The search teams will return to do the given jobs prior to the operation."

Udolf started giving instructions to the student who has joined the search party.

"Xander, go rest and tell me immediately if anything happens like pain, bleeding, headache, t …", said Chesney.

"I got it, miss Chesney.", interrupted Xan from continuing her speech.

"Let's go, we will catch up in our tent.", said Thompson.

"Ok"

Xan, Luke, and Thompson started walking towards their tent.

Chesney and Udolf after breathing a sigh of relief after seeing them go, went separately to do their respective works.

A group of four boys was watching all this happening from some distance away.

"Ronnie, he didn't tell them anything. Why?"

"It's good, he didn't speak about it. Even if he had told them anything, nothing would have happened to us. "

"My father would protect me."

"But why he is alive. We checked it, he wasn't breathing."

"Who knows what happened. We are not professionals maybe he was alive back then."

"You are right."

"We will talk to him after dinner when everyone falls asleep.", said the boy named Ronnie.

"Ok", replied others.

If Xan had been here, he will surely remember them as the boys who killed Xander Matthew by suffocating him.

Even though this may be the first time they have tried to kill someone but not the first time from doing something illegal.

Smoking, drinking, rape, assault, theft, illegal racing, paper leak and many more of crimes have been done by them.

They have been arrested for some of them but because of the influence of Ronnie's father who is the owner of Dunwell Corporation.

Dunwell Corporation is the giant among all the companies present in Earl City. Its influence has spread all over the State and neighboring states as well.

*****

Luke, Thompson, and Xan are sitting inside their tent.

"What happened?", asked Luke.

"Nothing happened. What I told back then is the truth.", Xan is an old monster living for millenniums. If he can't even handle these small kids then that would bring shame to himself.

"Really. We know you were dragged by Ronnie and his goons."

"You should have shouted or struggled. You can't let them always bully you."

Refuted Thompson knowing all about Ronnie and his group.

"They will never be able to harm me again. You just relax.", replied Xan while thinking about how he will torture those boys for killing the original owner of this body.

'Are these words really said by Xander. What happened in while he was gone.", thought Luke and Thompson.

Luke leaped toward Xan to check if he has any injury on his head.

"What are you doing?", asked Xan seeing his twin brother weird actions.

"Just checking if you have any injury on your head.", told Luke.

"Why would I have that?"

"Because you are not talking like yourself. You will never use boasting words."

Xan knew he has said something which Xander would never say in his right mind. Xander is an introvert but smart having interest in Computer Science with no physical activities like training, jogging, etc.

"Just let me rest for a while. You both should go and complete your work."

Xan pushes both of them out of the tent to rest. After all the pain during the morning and walking until he reached the camp has exhausted all his stamina.

'This body needs some serious work before I do some work otherwise, I'll die of exhaustion.'

Luke and Thompson are unable to tell what is wrong with Xander but Luke is feeling like something different about Xander but doesn't know what is it.

"Are you also feeling something wrong with Xander?", asked Luke.

"Maybe adrenaline rush due to too much beating.", replied Thompson.

"Hopes so.", still having the weird feeling even after the assurance, Luke got lost in thought.

"Is Xander inside?" asked a black-haired girl having a tray filled with foods.

"Ah!"

Both heard the voice, got surprised and looked towards the girl.

"Taylor, you have brought food for Xander."

"You should go in. He will be happy seeing you."

"Go in, we will be on our way."

"We have a lot of work to do."

Luke and Thompson got away as fast as they can after seeing the girl.

"Ok, take care."

Xan seeing a silhouette entering his tent looked up to see.

"Xander, I have brought food for you.", said Taylor, while entering.

"Huh!"

Xan doesn't know how to reply seeing a beautiful teenager with a charming smile, magnetic eyes, and sweet voice with a charcoal black straight hair entering his tent.

"What? Not happy seeing me here."

"I'm not hungry."

"But you haven't eaten anything since arriving here. You should eat all this to get some energy."

"How do you know I haven't eaten anything? I may have eaten some fruits in the forest."

"You wouldn't. I know how precautious you are. Now, don't be so moody and have some."

Xan doesn't know how to handle this girl.

The girl name is Taylor Scott who has fallen in love with Xander.

Apart from Xander, extreme sports have become a part of her life.

They have known each other since junior high school when he saved her from a group of boys who have been bullying her harshly.

After that incident, she fell in love with Xander and started extreme sports so that no one will bully her again as she thought if she doesn't fear death then she will fear nothing.

Even Xan fear this type of girl who will go to extreme lengths to do something and her love for Xander may have crossed extremely as she promised him after her 18th birthday, she will give herself completely to Xander in front of the whole school.

Also saying either by hook or crook, while her face showing bashful expression.

Every teacher and student had been giving him weird looks for the whole week. Even their parents don't know what to say about this.
