" Hello earth to Shad? Do you here me?" Chord said as he waved his hand in front of my face breaking me out of my reverie. I blinked a couple of times and looked up at him. He had a panicked look on his face, but when he saw my expression relief replaced the panic.
" O thank goodness. At first I thought you turned into a zombie. You know, maybe you got to close to one by the the fence in one of those visions things you have" I held up my hand to make him stop.
" Please Breath between sentences and don't talk about my visions again, Please" The last vision I had showed me a path in a meadow full with wildflowers and tall grass. Sunlight fell over the meadow like a blanket on a babies skin. It was shaped like a circle, like someone had made it on purpose. Beyond the meadow there was a lake and a voice in my head told me to go towards it.
The closer I got, I could see the moonlight was shining in was like the world was cut in half and I was staring where the sun and moon both stopped. The lake was dark and where the moon was reflecting off of the lake it was darker. The lake moved and a hand reached out of it, then Chords warm strong arms where pulling me AWAY from the hand. Suddenly, I was back in readily...
A zombie was in front of me, her arm pushed threw the kinks in the fence and three bloody broken Figures on her hand, jaws snapping while she moved. And then I passed out. I don't remember anything after that, but the sound of Chords voice telling me to say with him.
I sighed and looked at Chord. He was wearing an army green tee shirt and jeans with a hole in the right knee. His head was in his left hand and his legs where crossed. He had a stick in his other hand and was drawling in the dirt. I put my hand on his arm and looked over his shoulder.
The picture he was drawling was me. He caught me zoomed out looking towards the fence. He was a great drawler I had to give it to him. He caught every detail in my face. A freckle , a stray hair, every thing.
" This is the only time your going to be able to drawl me, I promise you that" I said, punching him.
He looked up at me and smiled. " I now, thats why I going to get my sketch book and copy it! Please have mercy on it. I really want to have a memory of you in case the village is beached and were separated or you die! Sorry, I just said that," He jumped up and jogged off. I don't see how girls thought how he jogged was hot, because to me he jogged like a girl.
I sighed and stood up thinking "I'll never know why they like him the way they do"
While rubbing off the dirt on my but I found a long stick and stuck it next to the ground next to the picture of me. Then I had a thought. What if I just the wearing skills my mom's teaching me, to make a flag and put it on the stick so Chard would know where it was ? But what would I use? O maybe the grass will work! I picked up the grass to feel how sturdy it was. I rubbed it between my fingers. It had a smooth texture and you could rip it a part if you wanted to but not if you don't want it to. It will half to do I thought.
I started to weaving, under and over like my mom showed me. A few minutes latter I have the perfect flag. I tie it to the stick and step back. Yep this is the best I can do for a master peace.
A hand touched my shoulder and I screamed like a banshee Flinging my fist out at the intruder. I felt guilty the minute my knuckles connected with the nose. The intruder fell to the ground holding his face.
"OW! WHAT THE HEACK WAS THAT FOR? YA TRYING TO KILL ME" Chord said in a nasty voice, " OW, OW, OW!" He sucked in a breath and straitened his nose. I could here the cracking as th cartilage was put back in place. Ouch that has to hurt. I thought as I stared at Chord's broken noise.
"OK, You just punched me in the noise ans you didn't even say sorry, whats up with that?" He was right, but instead of saying sorry I laughed instead.
" What are you laughing at? I'm bloody and broken here!" That just made me laugh harder! Tears start to fall out of my eyes and down my face! I keep laughing till I calmed down. I was shaking when I spoke to Chord.
" OK, I'm sorry for both laughing and not saying sorry for punching you. Why don't we see my mom, you know get your nose checked" With that we walked to my house.
