Flight 21

Chapter 27

better late than never i suppose

By the time I got back to the plane I was surprised the sun was still up. I was even more surprised that I managed to get back without getting lost or getting attacked by any of the animals lurking in the forest.

I wasn’t quite ready to go inside so I hung around the shoreline waiting for someone to come back. How long would it take them to find Keaira and what could she possibly be thinking hiding from Trent. He was scary when he wanted to be.

A soft sigh escaped my lips as I walked towards the water. The tides rushed up hitting the bottom of my feet up until my ankles. This place was really a sight but for me it was agony. After we get out of here the first thing I’m going to do is shower; with real soap and real shampoo. Never thought about it before but I really take those things for granted. After a couple weeks on this island I’m just about ready to kiss the ground of actually civilization.

I wonder what will happen to Trent, Seth and Keaira after they get off this island. Seth was under the impression that he would die but I don’t think they would go that far as to killing him. Than was bad and if he played with Seth’s life before he might do it again.

As for Keaira she’ll probably go on flaunting around trying her hardest to impress Hadrian and fail miserably. Would she ever take the hint and move on from Hadrian? I hoped so even though it was really none of my concern.

Then there was Trent. Hadrian. He would probably take over his family business when he got back. Though, calling it a business didn’t seem like quite the right word. Hadrian had to deal people like him. And he didn’t seem like he’d enjoy that kind of thing.

Would he be alright after all this is over? And the thought that never really struck me before, would he miss me? Did he even care that we may never see each other again? I bet anything he probably hasn’t even given it a second thought.

It was inevitable that we parted ways after this was all over; I’ve known that for a while now. Would this bond between us fade after that?

Will he want to stay near me because of the bond? The only reason I wanted to stay with him was because of this damned bond or so I told myself. Maybe when this stupid bond is gone I can go back to my normal life and forget this had ever even happened.

That would be the best thing for all of us. To forget this ever happened. That way Than would never know that Seth gave away this secret, unless Keaira or Trent told him and I didn’t think they would. I still didn’t believe they were killers.

 Everything can go back to normal after that. We can all live these lives that none of us really like. Seth goes back to serving Than. Keaira goes back to failing at impressing Hadrian. Hadrian goes back to his old life and being in charge of a world he doesn’t seem to even care about.

And then there’s me. I go back to being a rebellious kid who’s been ignored for far too long. I can’t say my life’s been boring because I’ve done some pretty insane things to make it a little more entertaining for myself but still, life will be a little more dull with Trent out of the picture.
