Please Review
My head was spinning. I couldn't, no; I refused to believe that he lied to me. He lied like a rug straight to my face, and he was most certainly going to pay. It took me several minutes to collect my thoughts on what I was going to do, and it probably wasn't a good idea considering that it was nighttime. I took a deep breath; rose from where I was standing turned around and began to walk straight into the woods.
"Rima! Wait!" I pretended not to hear him. I was just about satisfied with myself and my actions until I heard the familiar whoosh sound of feet running through the soft sand. He was running after me!
I furrowed my eyebrows just as he came up behind me; he is not going to interfere! I thought to myself as I clenched and unclenched my fists. I spun around on the heel of my foot brought up my hand and brought it down to his face as fast as I could.
SLAP!
My small hand made an incredibly loud noise in the dark. "Leave me alone," I muttered than continued on into the woods, not even turning around to see if he followed. He should know that he pissed me off; I didn't find it the least bit entertaining or playful. He should've known that, he let me get yelled at by Kukai to the point of crying, and he just let it happen. He didn't show one sign of faking it… so how did he pull it off? I kept asking myself after several hours of walking. Then it finally hit me. Like a slap on the face.
After what felt like several hours of walking and talking to myself I noticed the tiny bit of light that had begun to seep through the trees, I realized that I had been doing it the entire night without a single wink of sleep. I hadn't realized how tired I was until I found a comfortable looking tree to lean against. Ah sleep, how I needed it.
I rubbed my hand against my cheek as I watched Rima's curls bounce away into the greenery. There was no sense in going after her. I kept telling myself that, I was tempted to just risk it all and run after her and tell her I was sorry and hope for forgiveness. It was going to do any good though. She was beyond mad, I don't think I've ever seen her this furious with me.
I was between a rock and a hard place. Kukai had told me earlier that he did not want to do this under any circumstances, and he was right. It would backfire. And it did. I should've listened; curse my stupid hormones.
They were just about to start controlling my mind again too; they told me that I should go after her yet my feet stood planted in the ground.
I shook the thought off about going after her and turned around. My eyes dragged across the sand, comparing the tiny grains with my current rough patch. For no reason in particular my eyes shot upward.
"Oh my…" my voice was stuck in my throat. I couldn't believe the sight before me, it was horrible yet wonderful at the same time. I had to tell someone… but who?
"Rima!" somebody was calling me. It was quiet and muted, so muted that it sounded like they were shouting into a pillow. Who could be calling me? Especially at a time like this, it was so foggy and cloudy that I couldn't see a thing in front of me.
"Rima!" There it was again. "Get up!"
Get up? I thought to myself, I was up, wasn't I? It sure felt like it.
"I am up," my words came out all muffled and tired.
"Then open your eyes," the voice spoke, this time a lot louder. I know that voice. I thought again as I slowly creaked open my eyes, quickly closing them after seeing a blinding light. I tried again, opening them even slower. The light still blinded my vision but I saw flashes deep violet and some of a dark lavishing brown.
"My eyes are open, who are you?" I asked, wanting to confirm the identity of the familiar voice stranger.
"Rima, it's me. Don't tell me that you've lost your memory." Memory. At the sound of that word, everything came flooding back to me; the fall off the cliff, getting banned from camp, the kiss.
"What are you doing here?" I asked suddenly having the energy to open my eyes completely, get up and start walking in the other direction that the despicable human being was standing in.
"Wait! Before you leave I need to tell me something." His words sounded somewhat stern, like he really meant what he had to say, but I wasn't buying it. Whatever he had to sell.
"What? What could you possibly have to tell me that's so important that it can't wait until I run off and you find me again? "I tried to make it seem like I was furious, because I was, but it's hard to do that after someone has just woken up.
He opened his mouth to say something but I stopped him before he could say anything.
"Let me guess, you've come to find me out of the pure selflessness of your heart to tell me that you only did what you did because you loved me. Well sorry buddy, I am not buying it." I shouted then turned around again and began to stomp off.
"Rima that's not it," His voice stopped me. "Rima.. I came to tell you that we're going home."
I am absolutely evil when it comes to cliff hangers ya know. Anyway… I hope you enjoyed.
Review!
