Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

“Very well. We'll be counting on you, then. That's our only way out.” Willow gave
Jasper a worried look. She knew he was a capable man, but she couldn't just
calm down while he was going to take a risk. “Be careful. Don’t push yourself,
alright?” she said.
“Trust me,” answered Jasper. He would never make empty promises. Anything
he said he could do, he would do it. Jasper took off his coat, revealing a tight
shirt. Everyone was surprised when they saw his muscles. They didn't take
Jasper as a muscular man.
Then, he started climbing the walls bare- handed. Even the places everyone
thought couldn't be scaled, he scaled them. “What was his job before he became
an archeologist? That's unbelievable.”
The walls were about twenty feet tall, and Jasper had scaled half of it, but the
closer he got to the exit, the harder it was to climb. Willow's heart was beating
fast, and her neck was getting sore, but she kept her eyes firmly on Jasper, her
heart racing. “You can do it, Jasper,” Willow encouraged.
Jasper finally reached the opening, but then someone out there slammed a
boulder down on his hand. Most people would reflexively pull their hand back
when they were assaulted out of the blue, which would cause them to fall to their
deaths.
Jasper didn’t. He knew he would be attacked, so he endured the pain and
slithered out of the opening. As expected, he saw a panicked man outside, the
very same man who tried to sneak into Willow's room. Jasper's face fell, and
murder filled his eyes.
Realizing the incoming danger, the man took two steps back, but Jasper
slammed his foot into the man’s belly and grabbed him by the collar, then he
smashed his fist against the man's face. Quickly, the lad slid down a slide and
disappeared into the woods. He was a local, so he knew this place very well.
Jasper gave up going after him and shouted, “I'm out.”
The team members applauded him, and someone said, “Miss Presgrave, you
have a great boyfriend.” Willow smiled. She wanted to say they weren't al couple,
but there was no need for that, so she would just let them think that they were
indeed a couple. “Yeah, he is.” There was a hint of worship in her voice.
The boulder at the entrance was cleared out soon enough, courtesy of Jasper.
Everyone was delighted to see the light outside and their despair melted away.
They got into their cars and left in a hurry. At the same time, they made up their
minds to leave this island. Jasper’s hand was bruised from the boulder slam, but
he hid it so Willow wouldn't notice.
Once they arrived at the pier, Winston led everyone onto the ship. Everyone
engaged in at small discussion and decided to say goodbye to the clan leader
and leave. Then, they would decide on their next course of action once they were
safely out at sea.
Just then, a female team member said in a panic, “I left my laptop at my abode
back on the island. All my important files are in there.” Willow quickly assured,
“It's all right. We can go back for it.”
“I'll go back for it,” Jasper said. “It's not safe on the island. The guide just said
one of our team members beat up the clan leader's son and they are demanding
an explanation.”
“When did that happen?” Willow asked.
