Kate's P.O.V-
I was walking around the festival and everyone had out done their self. As soon as the sun had set everything was lit up! The stage had the preformers singing and dancing along with the lights even the rides and games were lit up like the sun! But I was more focused on what I saw in the woods. Finally I had found the soul with our powers then maybe. Just maybe we could stop the darkness. We go together like yin and yang. We are opposites and bennefit each other in different ways.
Keith was avoiding me at the festival but why? 'I hope he doesn't think that I think he is a freak.' I thought. I decided to try and get him alone so I thought up a plan.
"Kate you should go sing!" Rythmi said
"Huh? NO! Ryth you know I have stage fright!" I said trying to sound calm.
"Try Kate" She said "I know you can do it."
"NO!" I yelled
"To late." she said.
Before I knew it she had pushed me on stage and Crawford had given me a Mic. Everyone was looking at me and I began to shake and go pale. I felt the fire in me rage I looked into the crowd and I felt calm. I saw Keith and everyone in the crowd I took a deep breath, and the music started.
Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder...
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight
It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me
'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memory
'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder...
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight
And I, I
Don't want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't want to let this go
I, I
Don't...
Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder...
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you...
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
If I could
Just hold you
Tonight
After I was done everyone cheered and I left the stage. Everyone of my friends came to congragulate me and I was happy. "Thanks Ryth." I said. I walked up to Keith 'who still looked afraid' and gave him a warm smile.
"You did good. You have a beautiful voice." Keith said
"Thanks. You wanna go on the ferris wheel?" I asked. He looked at me and nodded as I pulled him to the line. We got on and I sat next to him. After the guy shut the door I looked out the window. "Thank you." I said.
"For what?" He asked
"Back in the forest. If not for you the whole forest would have burned and so would Vein town." I replied as I looked him in the eyes.
"So? Im a freak." He said avoiding my gaze.
"Keith" I said "You are not a freak. Your special. I have never met anyone like you. Your kind, nice, powerful, and without you I could have died back in the forest. Your not a freak your my hero and if anything im a freak."
"Kate your not a freak either." He said. He took my hands in his and looked me in the eyes. "Your beautiful."
"You mean that?" I asked
"Yes."
We got to the top and the ride stopped. We both looked outside the fireworks had started. We both looked outside and watched. "Keith...Can I ask you something?"
"Anything." He replied
"I'm going to take a risk here and tell you that...that..." I said
"That what?" He urged.
"Keith I...I like you alot. More than a friend." I said as I stood up.
"I like you too." He said "I didn't think you would feel the same."
He stood next to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. We watched the fireworks and enjoyed each others company. We sat back down hand in hand. Eevee had been with Rythmi and I was here. Nothing could make me happier. We got off the ride and I smiled at him. We walked around a bit and began to head back to the ranger school around 10 o'clock. I held eevee in my arms and followed Keith.
"Why so quiet?" Keith asked stopping standing next to me.
"Just tired is all. But do you think we should tell Rythmi and Kellyn about what happened on the ferris wheel." I yawned as I asked.
"Lets talk about it tomorrow. Okay?" He asked as he continued walking
"Sure." Was all I said.
We got back to the school but unfortunately were greeted by that bitch Claire. She walked up to Keith and locked her hand in his.
"Keithy!" she said "Your back!"
I instantly snapped my eyes open feeling the power of fire wanting to escape and burn her to a crisp. "What the hell do you want?" I asked trying to keep my voice calm so I didn't wake eevee.
"Oh I just wanted to say goodnight to my boyfriend." she said innocently
"Excuse me?" Both Keith and I said
"OH yes remember? You asked me out before the festival and hung out with me." she pulled out her cellphone and showed us the text clearly sent from him asking her out.
I felt tears in my eyes but I refused to cry as I ran off to the dorm. 'Was all that a lie? Everything on the ferris wheel just to play with my emotions?' I thought
"Kate wait! I never sent that I swear!" He yelled
I didnt bother to listen I ran into the dorm and sat eevee down on the bed and began too take deep breaths. Rythmi was already in the room and watched in panic.
"Kate whats wrong?" Rythmi asked in a worried tone.
I told her everything from the ferris wheel to the very end. I watched her about to explode with anger for Keith and that she whore.
"I know how you feel. Its ok to cry." She said
"But I can't if I cry I can put out my flame and die."
