Chapter 2: Odd Feelings
As he watched the girl he just met, Cassian frowned. He had only met one other person with a feisty personality like that and he told himself he would forget about Jacinda whatever the cost. It dawned on Cassian that he never asked the girl for her name.
Frowning again, Cassian turned away from where the girl disappeared to find a tall, fair-haired boy with glimmering green eyes watching where she had disappeared. When he spoke his voice gentle, but rough, "Piper's a feisty one, that's for sure but you can't really blame her," his eyes were gleaming with affection for this girl, Piper, "after all she's been through it's a miracle she hasn't cracked yet."
"What do you mean?" Cassian was genuinely curious about this odd girl. He decided he was going to find out more about her.
The boy stared at him before answering, "Isn't it obvious? She's tormented because she's not a draki and the things people say to her, sometimes she really looks awful from what they do to her." his changed from loving to hatred as he spoke the next words, "Annabeth's the worst, she thinks she's so much better than everyone else just because she's the first female onyx draki in the entire history of the pride."
"Oh," Cassian watched the spot where Piper had gone into the mist and felt a pang sadness that she wasn't back.
"I'm Fallon, by the way. Piper's only friend."
Cassian took the outstretched hand and shook it, though the movement felt more robotic than anything else. He wondered if there was anything going on between Fallon and Piper. He was very protective of this girl.
Pushing the thought aside Cassian went for a subject change, "Fallon, I'm going to need a place to stay. Know where I can arranage that?"
With a grin Fallon motioned for Cassian to follow, "This way." and he disappeared into the mist.
