New Eden: Live to Play, Play to Live

Chapter 966: Arriving At Destination

The last leg of this flight was eventless, as a general mood of expectation settled across the passengers of the aircraft. Those who were tired tried getting some shut-eye, to calm their nerves, but the anticipation building up wasn't to be brushed off so easily.

Liu Yan, eager to break the silence and form connections, attempted to engage with the others. However, everyone except for Kary and Alexander seemed lost in their own little world.

And talking to them, at this moment, seemed a bit like pushing it.

It wasn't until they had almost landed on Jeju Island that Killian woke up, his body shivering from the cold cargo-hold air.

"Urgh... What happened? Where am I, and why is it so cold?" he grumbled.

David, who wasn't far from him, heard the grumbling and stopped what he was doing to walk over to the waking Brit.

"That took way longer than it should have. I'm glad you're finally back among us. You're still alive, and you are still on board our airplane. We are almost at our destination, so don't take too long to snap back to reality."

Killian turned his head toward the voice, which felt somewhat aggravating to him, and found David walking toward him with a bottle of water.

He grunted in displeasure, grabbing the bottle David almost chucked at him.

"I can't say that waking up to the sound of your voice, and the sight of your face, is pleasant," he grumbled.

"Yeah? That's not what your mom said last time. In any case, try not to get used to it. I doubt it'll happen again, since, you know, I don't swing that way. Tough luck for you, I know," David joked, giving him a wide smirk.

Killian rolled his eyes almost all the way into his head as he sipped water.

"A 'your mom' joke, followed by a homosexual joke? Try not to overexert the pea you call a brain, skeleton fucker. You might hurt yourself," Killian said, trying to get to his feet.

But his legs refused to cooperate, and he felt the weakness settle in.

"Don't try to move just yet," David said, his face returning to a serious expression.

"You just spent almost a quarter of a day unconscious, of which for were spent in hemoglobin deficiency. Give your body time to get its strength back."

The last thing Killian could remember was sitting down in a runic circle to get rid of his soul bind. The rest was darkness.

And now he was being told he'd been out for almost six hours and had been in blood deficiency?

'What the bloody hell happened to me?' he wondered.

But he listened to David's tip, and rested his back upon a crate, letting his body relax and regain strength.

It wasn't long before the intercom flared to life again, with Major Schrute's voice ordering them to sit down and buckle up for landing.

Of course, almost everyone was still in their seat, which meant they were ready for it. But she still did her job and warned them.

As the plane shook slightly on approach and landed smoothly on the slick landing strip, Major Schrute took to the intercom again.

"Welcome to Jeju Island, also known as the Hawaii of Korea. Local time is nine thirty-six in the morning; the weather is warm, and the skies are clear. Thank you for flying with Air Schrute, and I hope your stay will be long enough for me to enjoy some peace and quiet." Across the plane, they heard her bellow out in laughter as her cockpit door opened.

"Alright, I want you all out of my baby. Everyone out!" she hollered, an enormous grin plastered on her face.

Alex looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"You know this is my plane, right?" he asked.

She shrugged with a grunt.

"Eh. Do I care? Nah. Right now, I brought you here, so you had better go enjoy whatever adventure you rich kids came here to experience and be gone for at least one day. I want some alone time with my baby so I can tweak her a bit before our flight back home. Off you go!" she replied, still grinning.

Her loud voice had woken the few that had managed to fall asleep, and made sure the others were on their feet, as they feared she would start yelling at them.

As they were all funnelled to the back of the plane, where the exit door had already been opened remotely by Major Schrute, they came across Killian, who was awake and finally getting to his feet.

"The younger ones smiled at him, happy to see he was ok, but still kept walking to the stairs that led off. They didn't want to anger the mean-looking woman who was practically herding them forward.

When she came upon the sight of Killian's still-pale face, she stopped for a second.

"What the fuck happened to you? Actually, no. I don't care. Off my plane. No one stays on. Get the grease monkeys in the hangar to pull your stuff out. For now, I want no one on this plane until tomorrow that isn't working for me. Capisce?"

Killian was confused about why she was in such a hurry to get them away from the aircraft, but didn't have the strength to argue. So, with the help of Cory, who was glad to see him on his feet, he exited the aircraft with the others.

The only one who stood his ground was David. He looked at the fierce woman and crossed his

arms.

"Lady, our planning table is in here. We need to use it. You can't just push us off like this is your plane. I'm pretty sure you work for us."

Carol looked at the skinny, pale David and huffed aggressively.

"I don't work for you. I work for the prick with the auburn hair and blue eyes, and he's already

off the goddamn airplane. Now, if you don't get off, I'ma kick you off, twig," she threatened, squaring off before him.

But this only made David grin.

"I'd love to see you try."
