The taxi ride was very, very short. Somewhere along the way, Trinity was pretty sure that they had lost the strange creatures behind them. They slowed to a screeching halt. One of the old ladies began to turn around, but Colton threw some gold coin things at them and hit one on the head.

"Ow," she complained.

"Sorry, lady," he said and yanked Trinity out. She jerked her arm out of his grasp, rubbing her upper arm where he had had an iron grip. She was pretty sure there were going to be some finger shaped bruises there.

He began running up this crazy hill and Trinity didn't really have any choice but to follow him. She took the hill at a fast jog, beginning to pant early on. As they crested the hill, she saw a huge, foresty... camp, litting the night air with small torches. Probably the camp he had been talking about. Trinity licked her dry lips... but... they're not dry. Some sort of oily liquid was stuck on her lips and slid down Trinity's throat painfully, creating a fiery sensation. Her vision got black at the edges and she dropped to her knees, hand on her forehead. Her breath came in short gasps.

"What the hell did you do!" Colton came running back towards Trinity. Trinity shook her head.

"Shut up," she moaned. "I didn't do anything."

Colton's rough hand forced her chin up painfully. Trinity squinted at his face, the dark seeming to cover him up, but his green eyes pierced hers. For a long moment, he stared at her gray/blue eyes and she stared at his green ones. And then his eyes flicked down to her lips and his lips parted slightly.

"What is that on your lips?" he said cautiously. Trinity doesn't respond, instead bringing up her fingers to gently feel her lips.

"Oily.." she mutters, the slick liquid sticking to her fingers.

"No. It's green!" he gasps. Trinity stares at him in confusion.

"Green?"

"GREEN."

"Oh."

"IT'S POISON!"

"Poison?"

"POISON!"

"Oh."

He gave her an incredulous look. "ROWAN!" he screamed. He was holding her up now. "ROWAN!"

And then, everything went black.

Short chapter, I know... but do you like it? :D :D :D Review!
