THREE
"Have a seat" He motions to the bed. I hesitate but sit down and he sits in the seat across the bed.
"So what do you want the science project to be about?" He says.
"Um, I'm not sure. How about something eco friendly" I say.
"Well my brother kind of invented something. Maybe we could use that."
"What is it?" I say getting excited
"He invented a way we can use our waste to plant trees."
"Really!" I lean forward super interested in it"
He stands up and sits next to me
"Yeah. He uses our trash from food and our toilet waste to create fertilizer. It works really well too!"
"Wow! I'd love to see how it works!" I say and he looks me deep in the eyes.
I gulp hard feeling my tummy flop and wetness dampen my panties. It's odd how he has that effect on me. ,
He looks into my eyes but then snifs. He must have bad allergies cause he does that often.
"Come on. I'll show you" he says pulling me up.
He takes me to a barn out back. It has three huge tanks.
"This one holds our waste from the toilet. And this one here holds our trash waste. When we take out the trash we throw it in here minus the bag. We turn our trashcan over on this and steam steralizes it. The hot water from the run of is put in with the trash. We hit this button here, and it grinds up all the trash into tiny pieces. Then you hit this button and it mixes the waste and trash together to make mulch."
I nod intrigued
"The mulch sits in this third tank till it turns to fertilizer. The tiny bits of plastic act as a filter when watering the plants.
It's so simple that it's only five steps for humans to do."
Why did he say humans?
"Throw trash away, sterilize, hit trash button, then waste button, then pull fertilizer"
"So how long does it take to make fertilizer."
"About three months. These tanks are huge but honestly they could be way smaller. Small enough to fit under a house."
"Have you planted any trees with this?" I ask wanting concrete evidence.
"Look behind you" he says and I turn seeing a forest of trees."
"We also garden our flowers with it too. And do you notice, no fowl smells. He made sure it wouldn't smell like a dump"
I take a deep breath noticing no change in the air. This would be great for the environment. It would plant more trees for more oxygen, and it would put a stop to our waste problem.
"I love it. Can I take pictures for the projects board?"
"Of course. My brother joon would be delighted to see his invention put out for the public"
I snap a few pictures then we walk back into the house.
"Layla will you be joining us for dinner?" Jin asks as soon as we walk into the kitchen.
"Um sure, what are you having.
"Steak pasta with Creamy garlic sauce" He says stirring the pot.
"Sound yummy. Thank you for the invite"
"No problem now you two kids go get washed up and set the table"
"Ok jin" jungkook says. He leads me to the hall bathroom where we wash our hands and then we head back to the kitchen grabbing plates and silverware before we set the table.
This is awkward and something I've never seen before. The closest I've come to a family meal was Thanksgiving at grandma's house. But even then it was my grandma calling My step-dad Lance a freeloading ass hole, and my step dad calling my grandma a narcissistic controlling bitch, and my mom crying in the bathroom.
"Here sit next to me" jungkook says as we sit down.
"DINNER!" Jin yells and the house rumbles with feet hitting the hardwood. Before they all pile into the dining room. They all stop in their tracks as soon as they see me.
"Oh we have a guest" one says. I recognize him as the one hanging off the piano earlier.
"Her name is Layla and she's jungkook's guest, so behave yourselves" Jin snaps
"Yes jin" they all say.
It seems like he's the mother figure which raises a question. Where are their parents?
"So where are your parents?" I ask nonchalantly. Everyone stops. The clinking of silverware paused as if time stood still.
They all look to joon.
"They are in Paris touring Europe. They leave us alone since most of us are in our thirties. Jungkook is the baby of the family. The last one in high school" He says smiling at jungkook.
I look around the room. All of them looking no older then 23 I shake my head amazed that any of them are 30.
"So where are your parents" taehyung asks almost mocking me.
I swallow my food and take a quick drink of my lemonade.
"Um my moms a nurse and my dad is dead. He died in a freak accident 7 years ago."
"She used to live down the street from us" jungkook says cutting his steak.
"Oh so where do you live now?" Jin asks.
Quick think of something
"Um I moved closer to town."
"Oh. Well you are welcome to visit whenever you want. By the way i know jungkook's not the greatest at introductions. You met taehyung, jin, and me. But thats jimin and yoongi, and that is hobi" Joon says pointing to each guy.
They are all gorgeous and each one looking like they were hand picked by God himself.
As soon as dinner finished jungkook looks at the clock. It's 7:30
"Time to get you home. Do you need a ride?"
"No. I'm not far from here. Thank you for the dinner. See you on monday" I say as he walks me to the door.
"If you're free you can come over on sunday" jungkook says nervously rubbing the back of his neck. I smile back.
"Ok, see you sunday"
I walk back to the cabin. The whole time I felt like someone was watching me.
Once I arrive, I get changed for bed and lay down, after a couple hours I hear wolves howling in the distance. Then I hear the front door being pushed open.
I hide in fear under the covers as I here sniffing.
Then something growls
