A/N: Hey guys, Energizer just multiplied. I now have two plotbunnies...I named the new one Thumper after the bunny from the Energizer commercials, that's what it's really named. Anyhow, now my head goes after the plotbunnies all the time, thus I'm writing drafts for my fanfics in school. That, and the teachers are incredibly boring anyway. Well, on to Chapter 3. P.S., I'm sorry 'bout the cliffie last chapter. I had to wrap it up somehow because the scrollbar looked about ready to disappear and in Print Preview, it was 7 pages. 3 days, 3 chapters, I make typing with just my middle left finger look professional. Lol. -Sam B ;)
Seperate viewpoint
Ben looked her over. Mira didn't seem to have any injuries, except her broken arms. The slow rise and fall of her chest assured him she was alive, and no doubt still passed out, or at least passed out again. Looking around, he noted the Balverine from earlier was gone, so he picked Mira up, bridal style, to get her to Silverpines. He looked up and noticed why the White Balverine was gone. Bits of morning sunlight were seeping through the trees, and he knew that a Balverine wouldn't be up still in the morning. Mira stirred slightly from being moved, but quickly relaxed in his arms. He noticed that her arms were quickly healing, no doubt from her Heroic ability to heal at least 18 times as fast as any normal person. Ben walked through the woods, backtracking where he had entered from. He could see a brown shape in the distance which was no doubt Silverpines. From estimation, Ben guessed it would take about 3 hours. He couldn't complain, however, as everything he worried about was secure in his arms.
About an hour later, Mira shivered in his arms and snuggled more inward. By then, Ben noticed, her bones had mended, and now she was just laying in his arms, probably still recovering from shock. I can attract girls in their sleep. Ben thought, snickering to himself.
A/N: Wasn't too long, now was it? I have blabbing to do, that's why. I need to explain plot points. First off, the whole Theresa bullshit at the beginning came from my English teacher, Miss Dowd, whom had some cryptic nonsense poem, and I connected cryptic nonsense to Theresa, thus explaining the random nonsense in the first paragraph. Next up, Mira is a star in the constellation Certus, That's the meaning of her name, and also makes the title sound quite catchy. Also, the White Balverine is *spoiler*, and will *spoiler* Mira. I also wanted to insert some good, old-fashioned sexual tension. My plotbunnies plan, or, better word, plot, to build an army. Mira also kept all her promises while saving everyone but one, *spoiler*, which you should understand, since it's driven her absolutely MAD. I shall also add in the *spoiler*'s book, *spoiler*, to make her feel even more *spoiler*. You shall never guess these spoilers! MWAH HAHAH HAHAH! I shall give you a hint, the last two spoilers are found in a bookcase under Brightwall Academy. Next up, Mira will have *spoilers* of *Spoiler* to inject some insight. CRYPTIC SPOILERS RULE! Also, she Pardoned Logan. One more plot point, actually. You may have noticed the time frame estimation is about 3 hours. This is because he has yet to find the main road, plus Balverine interjections, and as light as Mira is, he can't carry her forever. Mira like apples. And carrots. But she rarely eats anyway. Just because that's what my experience is, and I rip my enemies apart like what The Crawler claims, "Insect wings between my fingers." I like my sword best, and thus maxed it out. And Will, though I don't use it as often as I should. Who needs it when you have a sword? Besides that, I very rarely use my rifle. Not 'till I get the Bullet Spray Augment unlocked. I use the Swift Irregular, if you're wondering. ^.^' I told you I would blab. I hope you didn't fall asleep from my rambling, and that those of you needing answers got them. Enjoy trying to figure out my Cryptic Spoilers. Thumper said to do them. And Energizer helped. Finally done and out of breath, -Sam B. ;)
