Chapter 2
Kai and the twenty-year-old boy are arguing in the corner. I can’t hear them. They look like there shouting at each other, with wild arm movements, but I can’t hear a thing. The ninteen year old crouches on his counter, his gaze flickers form me to the argument. My gaze flickers back to the argument and I smirk. I read lips, stupid.
“Why? There are other ways. You didn’t have to tie her to us!” the twenty year old seems to be shouting.
“She’s tied to me already! Spinal injury’s are dangerous, what’s to say it wouldn’t come back? She could have died, she had three cracked ribs and a fractured spine. I can't louse her!” Kai shouts back.
“You said it your self, we don’t NEED her, she’s a waist of space. We could have dropped her back at the village…” the twenty year old lets his voice trail off.
“NO!” that was me. What’s wrong with my body? “I will not go back. I didn’t ask to be here, but I’ll leave if you don’t want me anymore. But I am NOT going back. You can’t make me!” I stand up moving towards them…now our height difference is painfully obvious. They both must be at least six inches taller than me. (as is the fact that they could in fact make me.) And they say nothing. The boy on the table has frozen, as have the two in front of me. What did I say? Kai moves first, raising his eye brows.
“I put twice as much magic in this because you may have been a mage. Tell me little girl, how did you hear us?” he bends down so his face is inches away form mine. i still can't hear him.
“I didn’t.” I said startled. Magic? Nobody uses magic anymore.
“Than how did you know what we where saying?” the other one asks impatiently.
“I read lips, stupid.” I said to the other one, but I never took my eyes off Kai, “I’m not a little girl. I’m eighteen.”
“Yes, it would appear you are.” Kai says than laughs. He straightens up and steps out of the corner. Its like he’s stepping out of a cloud, I can see him so much clearer. Did he mean it appeared I was a little girl, or it appeared I was eighteen?
“She could be useful.” The other one steps out of the circle.
“Switching sides are we?” I ask slightly amused as I turn to face them. Andrew, the little twelve year old is peeking in though the door way, the nineteen year old is still crouched on the counter, Kai is standing in the middle of the room with his back to me, and the twenty year old is right in front of them. I realize that their arguing, silently, making sure I can’t see their lips. Hmph. I also take the time to realize that none of them are warring shirts, or shoes. Just shorts. Hmm.
Fine, I didn’t want to be here anyway. Running away is more my style. I turn quietly and move towards the door. Andrew, the twelve year old, is nowhere in sight…ok by me. Once I’m outside I look around trying to find a landmark…or well…anything. But there are just trees…everywhere…whatever.
I walk in to the trees. A few feet in, I’m swallowed, and I can’t even see the cabin. Maybe this isn’t such a great idea. But I keep going anyway. If they don’t want me, I don’t want to stay. It’s better this way…for them anyway. I pull my jacket tighter around me, duck my head and continue walking. The farther away I get, the more my arm throbs, than its my back. The pain starts slowly, so I keep waling, but with in a hundred feet, I have to stop. I slump against a tree a try to breathe. Noting works. The pain creeps for my back, around my side in to my ribs than in to my lungs.
I put my head on my knees and wrap my arms around my legs. What’s wrong with me? No one answers. If I had any air left in my lungs I would scream. But it’s getting harder to breathe, like the air is being sucked away from me.
And than it’s gone. Just like that, the pain is gone, and air rushes back in to my lungs. But I don’t move, just in case. I just stay curled up and breathe.
“I’ve got her.” Kai shouts. He’s crouching right in front of me, I didn’t even hear him. Three whistles shoot up form all around us in the forest. “Noting to worry about. David’s just calling off the pack.” Kai picks me up and starts walking back to the cabin. (At lest I think he’s going back…I got all turned around).
My mind raced as Kai carried me back, than slowly, the world went fuzzy and I closed my eyes.
