The Ultimate Host

Over 10 hours passed. Everyone except Cross and Jesse was fast asleep. They currently eating some Cookie Crisp conjured up by Prince Guy. The time was 8:00 am, so Cookie Crisp was the perfect choice for breakfast. Both Cross and Jesse ate over 3 bowls. Cross had Prince Guy conjured up 5 boxes of delicious Cookie Crisp. Cross drank the remaining remnants of milk from his bowl, burping every loudly. Cross walked into the control room to see where the ship was. They were over a tropical island with lots of colorful vegetation. A party was currently going on.

Jesse walked next to his father and smiled. We should go down there." I am guaranteed we will have lots of fun than this." I'm not going to lie." " Eating Cookie Crisp with your father is amazing." Its a once in a lifetime experience for a kid like me." " I like the idea that you still have the time to spend time with me, considering that there are many people trying to bring us to their leaders dead or alive. " Cross looked and his son and snickered. " Why the hell not." Cross took the huge airship off autopilot, lowering it onto the sandy beach. Everyone was confused. " Why are we stopping? We need to get going!!!" No sidetracks or delays!!! yelled Prince Guy. " Don't get your panties in a bunch Guy." We can spend the day here. Take a load off and have some fun for once in your life, Prince." Guy suddenly placed a serious expression on his face.

As he turned around, he saw Akashiri mean-mugging him with his arms folded. He didn't like his face. He didn't trust him one bit. If Prince Guy did anything suspicious, he would be the first to interrogate. When everyone walked off the airship, the locals of the beautiful island confronted them with broad smiles on their faces. They were friendly. Too friendly to be exact. A very friendly person was an evil sc.u.mbag. " Welcome new friends to the beautiful sacred island, Prosperity!!" My name is Elijah Benjamin born and raised on the island of Prosperity." The beautiful woman next to Elijah cleared her throat. " Oh, pardon my manners. This my lovely wife, Ava." We have known each other since we were kids and we have been married for 2 years. We don't have any kids as of yet." We expecting kids in the upcoming year." Elijah didn't give Cross or any of his friends or family a chance to introduce themselves.

He realized his mistake at the last minute. Oh!!" I'm sorry!!" I didn't give any one of you fellows a chance to introduce yourselves." I am a very friendly and talkative person. My lovely wife can tell you that." Your names?" Elijah stuck his hand out for Cross to shake. Cross and sighed and shook his head. He also reached out his hand. My name is Cross Rodriguez." This is my wife Sarah Rodriguez, and this my son Jesse Rodriguez." They are my dear friends. Orion, Akashiri, Jagger, Lucia, and Charlotte. This Guy." Elijah breathed heavily and maintained his smile. " We are pleased to meet all of you." I and my wife will strive to make this day the best day of your lives!!" Tonight is the annual festival always held on this beach.

We have lots of food, drinks, activities, decorations, and the beach of course." We will close out the night in a bang with fireworks in the shape of all the plants and animals that live on this island!!" Isn't that right Ava?" Ava started smiling. Yes, dear." Tonight will be the best day of your life. Just make yourselves home on our little island of paradise!!" Follow us!!!" shouted Ava. Both Elijah and Benjamin turned around beginning to run as fast as they could. Cross looked at Sarah and sighed. Those are the strangest folk I have seen recently. " said Sarah. We have to keep a close eye on them." said Orion. The Benjamins ran into a house made of wood and rocks.

Elijah kicked open the door, instantly running towards the kitchen to prepare food for their guests. Everyone walked into the house. The last person to walk into the wooden beach house was Akashiri. He still had an angry expression on his face. He kicked the door close with a lot of power, slightly injuring the hinges. Elijah looked at the door and sighed. " Don't worry about that kind, sir." I will have that fixed up in a notch." What's your name again?" asked Elijah. Akashiri looked at Elijah and sucked his teeth, before walking up the stairs. Elijah was confused. " What's his problem?" Did I say something wrong?" Cross and Sarah looked at each other and sighed. Don't worry about him." He's going through a tough dilemma." said Cross. Charlotte who was drinking some sparkling water fixed up by Ava, placed her cup down and said: " I will calm him down.

He's not always like this. Elijah picked up his knife and sliced a block of cheddar cheese in half. No problem." I completely understand." When my father and mother died of a rare sickness, I didn't talk to anybody on the entire island including Ava for over 4 months." Charlotte ran up the stairs the wooden stairs. She came across 4 doors. All 3 doors were open and vacant except for one, which had a very huge rusty lock on it. It required brute strength to open. But a key was much better. Akashiri in the room and far left, laying on the comfy bed, staring at the ceiling, with a toothpick in the corner of his mouth. Charlotte knocked on the door before entering. Can I come in Akashiri?" asked Charlotte. Akashiri laid up and removed the toothpick from the corner of his mouth. Feel free to do so." It's not my room or my house."

Charlotte sat down next to Akashiri, holding his right hand. " What's been going on lately Akashiri? You've been acting cold lately as if we are totally strangers." Akashiri sighed. " You don't know? Tch." You obviously haven't been paying attention to anything that has been going on lately." Oh yeah, I forgot." We don't really know each other that well." You what?" What?" asked Charlotte. We really don't know each other that well." My life was perfect before I met any of you assholes." My long time childhood friend Naomi was killed." My entire clan was killed. Every one of the refugees I rescued from starvation and homelessness was killed by giant man spiders. Because of who?" Cross. The self-righteous self bastard who only cares about himself."

"If he never rescued that elf and killed the queen's son, the refugees would have been still alive. I hate all of you assholes." I wish I never met any of you people. Especially you." Charlotte suddenly slapped Akashiri. How can you say something like that?!!" Those people down there are your friends!" Akashiri stood on his feet and looked out the window." No there not." All my real friends are dead." You think I like traveling from place to place every single month?!" No!!!" I f.u.c.k.i.n.g hate it!!" Charlotte sighed and rubbed her face, beginning to shake her head. " You know I thought you were different Akashiri." But you're like all the other guys I have been with.

" They were all assholes who cared about themselves." Charlotte stood up from the bed and towards the wall, leaning against it." Suddnely the entire room began shaking. The door slammed and locked by its self. So did the windows. Abruptly the bed sprung into the wall. Under the bed laid a carpet. Akashiri looked at this. Hmm." I thought that the couple downstairs was strange." Akashiri pulled up the carpet, revealing a hole in the ground. A flight of stairs was seen. The Benjamins were obviously hiding something.
