Cole Ryder

Cole knew that his turn to go on the Haven's scheduled adventure camps would come eventually, he just did not expect it to come so soon. He had only been at the Haven for a term, being sent there shortly after he discovered his ability to shift into some terrifying form, and to pick up say, someone letting one rip at the other end of this vehicle he was on. Thankfully, the bus was not enclosed, and was not trapping any stale scents he would have had to put up with if it had been covered. With all those power training sessions he gone through at the outskirts of the forest, he had grown relatively used to the sounds and smells associated with the environment that currently surrounded the group.

However, that hardly meant that he welcomed them. He had never been this deep into the forest before, and having had a rather short time to adjust to his heightened senses, needing to endure being in an unfamiliar environment still tired him out. He felt a little overwhelmed even now, as he sat in silence staring out into the trees they were speeding past. A black and white cat had hopped onto the seat next to him at some point while the students were embarking, and seeing how no comment had been made about it by Dr. Sullivan, he had assumed that the cat was another shifter and did not pay much attention to it either.

He recognized a few students on the bus, mainly those who were grouped with him for the Arena combat session at the beginning of the term. He saw the large dragon-hybrid regularly at their training sessions, and he could not forget the girl who had been his opponent, or the one who had abruptly ended a conversation with him after touching his hand. He still had not figured that one out, but hoped that things were not going to be awkward between them if and when they had to communicate at some time during the camp. The rest seemed new, or could be older students he simply had not met yet. It mattered not anyway, did it? He just wanted to get through this before the real vacation started.
Haven Forest

10:00 a.m.


The sleek, angular open-top vehicle traveled swiftly through the lush green vegetation, carrying the group of students to where they would be spending the next three days - a cozy wooden lodge at the heart of Haven Forest. Just before the Haven's term breaks every quarter of the year, several students were selected to go on an adventure camp of sorts, where they would be taught teamwork and a few outdoor survival skills, as well as be allowed to explore the natural environment. A term had already passed since the combat session that had resulted in the destruction of the Haven's Arena for the first time in years, with a handful of students who had been present to witness or even participate in it currently among those on the vehicle.

The rays of the morning Sun shone through the treetops of the forest, lighting the path for the Hoverbus. An invention of Dr. Sullivan, the gravity-defying carrier floated just a couple of feet above the ground. Granted, Haven Forest was definitely more dangerous to navigate through at night, though, the darkness that came with the night was the only real danger posed by the forest. There was nothing too threatening in that darkness, as far as the staff of the Haven knew. Once at the site, the students will be under the guidance and supervision of Mr. Colles, the 'Animal Whisperer'.
