Chapter 57 - They Are Shocked

Realizing Lucas was angry, Wilson did nothing but bow his head and refused to meet Lucas that afternoon, while Aidan who wasn't paying attention to them now said,

"If you guys just want to fight, then fight… But one thing you should know!" Aidan said which made both Lucas and Wilson now turn their gazes to Aidan who looked at them both and said,

"I found an island in this lake, isn't that weird, Lucas... Wilson?" The question that Aidan said at that time, made Wilson and Lucas now look at the direction Aidan's eyes were focused on, and sure enough… they saw a floating island in the middle of the lake, which of course became a strange thing because, during the broadcast, Lucas didn't find a small island like that.

"Are they on the island, Lucas?" A question that was asked by Wilson now made Lucas shake his head in response to the question, Lucas now stretched out his hands as he said,

"I don't know, but I didn't see an island like that on the tv earlier, so I don't think there's anything wrong with checking the contents of the island." That's what Lucas said to Wilson and Aidan, which made the two of them now walk over to Lucas and immediately grabbed Lucas' outstretched hand, which then the three of them disappeared from the shore of the lake located in Orlando to the island they had been talking about.

Shut!!

Whoosh!!

Right now the three of them were on the island that Lucas, Aidan, and Wilson had previously seen. And there was only one word they could say when they arrived and set foot on the island for the first time. Silence... That's how they feel. Nothing bothered me except the sound of the water ripples and also the trees being blown by the wind that came to the island.

"Lucas… I'm not sure if they're in…-

"Ssshhh! hear! Listen to me!" Said Lucas, who was whispering to Aidan and Wilson at that time, making Wilson who was about to speak now silenced and tried to plug his ears carefully.

ring … ring …

The three of them could hear a chirping wind which made Wilson even more convinced that someone in the house had set the bell on purpose.

Lucas jogged ahead of Wilson and then Aidan who followed the two of them, Lucas looked up at this time to look at the sky when he found a smoke that was not very visible to him. Lucas was now looking up at the sky where a faint smoke could be seen by him which then as he walked further in. Arriving at the place where the smoke came from, he could see a simple house made of wood that now stood firmly in the middle of the island, there was only one house, which of course made Lucas feel something odd now.

He immediately stopped his steps and hid behind a fairly large rock and it was followed by Wilson and Aidan who had been behind him.

"You saw it too?" A question that was asked by Lucas at that time was given a nod by Wilson and also Aidan which then made Lucas ask again, "Isn't that a strange thing?" Lucas asked Wilson and Aidan which now made them both nod their heads and then Aidan glanced back at the house which quickly made him hide again as he said,

"I don't think there's anyone in the house right now." Aidan said to Lucas and Wilson who were now frowning, doubting what Aidan was saying at that time.

"Are you sure? I think we should check it out first!" Wilson said to Aidan who was now nodding his head as he said,

"Then let me check it!" Aidan said to Wilson and Lucas, when Aidan was about to walk that way, Lucas quickly restrained Aidan's movement. And Wilson said,

"I think it's best if Lucas checks it out, Aidan." The words that were uttered by Wilson at that time made Aidan who was beside him think for a while, before finally nodding his head and saying,

"Yeah… You're right, he's more capable of disappearing than me!" Aidan said to Wilson, which now made Lucas and Wilson look at each other, and nodded their heads together at that time.

....

After agreeing on who should check the situation in the house, in the end Lucas disappeared from Wilson and Aidan's sight and then he appeared right beside the wooden house. Lucas looked back to see his two friends peeking from their hiding place, Lucas could also clearly see how Wilson was currently nodding his head. Giving him a cue to put their plans into action quickly.

Which in the end made Lucas nodded slowly, Lucas again disappeared from where he was standing and drew closer to the house in front of him. Of course, it was a very high risk, but that was their goal and it wasn't a problem for Lucas because he had a speed that could keep him safe. So that Wilson and Aidan were not too worried about Lucas who was on duty.

Shut!!

Whoosh!!

Lucas disappeared and reappeared, and this time he was standing in the doorway of the simple wooden house that was the only one standing firmly on the island. Lucas's eyes narrowed, as he tried to peek into the house through the small nets that were deliberately attached to the iron door.

"Someone let air freely into this house!" Lucas muttered to himself before Lucas finally returned to using his teleportation to go inside without having to open the door or enter through the windows installed in the house.

Whoosh!!

One second later Lucas was in the house. When he was in there, he was quite surprised when he saw and knew that the condition of the house was very neat and clean.

Lucas also felt certain that someone had lived in this house, and Lucas was increasingly convinced that this person must be the water bender, even though he had no evidence to further convince him of that one.

Lucas turned his head back out the window, staring at Aidan and Wilson who occasionally peeked through the boulder at him. Lucas immediately went over to them, so that his appearance in the hiding place of the two surprised them.

"Lucas!!" Wilson screamed, but still in a small voice at Lucas who now only smiled at the shocked faces of his two friends.

"I guess the occupants aren't around, so how about we go inside together?" Lucas asked, suggesting Wilson and Aidan to come inside. The two of them looked at each other after hearing the suggestion, which then made Wilson ask him a question,

"Will it be safe?" he asked Lucas worriedly. The man confidently nodded his head and tried to reassure Wilson.

"Sure, Wilson! I checked and there's no one in the house right now!" Lucas explained to Wilson. The explanation also managed to make Wilson and Aidan believe, they immediately grabbed Lucas' hand which he had been holding out to them a long time ago.

Together they disappeared from their hiding place and appeared inside the tidy house.

Klang!!

When his feet had just appeared in the house, there was a sound of metal falling to the floor, making Lucas, Wilson, and Aidan turn to the left and find a woman standing in front of them. The woman was frozen in place and looked surprised to see the three people who suddenly appeared in front of her that day.

Knowing that they had been caught red-handed, Wilson sighed in exasperation. He was annoyed that he had trusted the wrong person what Lucas said earlier about them not getting caught was the wrong thing. Lucas said no one was in the house, but it turned out... There was a woman in the house who saw them coming. So Wilson quickly turned to Lucas and growled in annoyance.

"You're saying there's no one in this house, Lucas?!" Wilson growled at Lucas which made the man frown and then quickly shook his head.

"Yes, I said the right thing. Because I didn't see anyone in this house!" Lucas answered defending himself to Wilson who was now breathing again beside Lucas.

The woman who saw the three finally asked, "W-who are you?!" she asked in a voice that trembled with fear. The three of them exchanged glances before finally, they tried to find a way so they could explain who they were to the woman.

"Um… we…"

"Uh, this is…"

"We got lost!"

The three of them said different words at that time, making the woman in front of Wilson, Aidan, and Lucas look squinted at that time as if this woman did not believe what the three said and suspected them.

"Why did you guys suddenly appear inside my house?!" The woman also threw a question in a high tone, which seemed like she was scolding her little brother. Which of course managed to make the three men silent and unable to answer the question.
