Wake up, come on, wake up, I thought, attempting to make my body move. Nope. It was no use. I was too sore, too tired, and too…done. I was done with it all. I opened my eyes, and suddenly last night came spilling back to me….the forest, the fire, Amber…
Oh, crap, Amber! I had to find her, to make sure she was okay. I bolted upright and scanned around, looking for her, when I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"It's okay, Avril, honest, lie down." I turned around and stared into my best friends brilliant blue eyes, which were set ablaze. "We have to leave. Go somewhere, from Eraklyon and Sparks. We need to leave."
"What did I do last night?"
"You did what anyone with a brain would do-protected yourself. But I doubt they'll believe us now. Come on-we have to go."
"But what about your parents?"
"They've got three other kids they obviously love more than me and a whole kingdom to rule-they will hardly notice I'm gone."
"But, Amber-"
"No buts. We have to leave now, if we want to survive."
"Amber, you can't-you did nothing wrong, you stay here-" I said, and the alarm sounded in the distance.
"No! We are in this together, Avril ! Come on, run!" She said, grabbing my wrist. And I ran like I had never run before.
So, i didn't reveal much, it seems like i always start books this way...I'm a strange child. Alright, well, here's a slight background:
Avril is the daughter of Stella and Brandon
Amber(Ember, like fire? I know, well played, haha) is the daughter of Sky and Bloom and has three other siblings, and is the middle child.
More to be revealed :D I PROMISE to update, i have just been so unbelievably busy! I pinky promise...please review, please!
