Ch. 7

"Suki's gone! How?" I yelled.

"How? We don't know," replied Jasmine.

I pulled on the clothes I was wearing yesterday.

"We have to find her," I said, "She's the only person who knows where we're going."

"Exactly," said Jasmine, "if we keep going she'll find us."

"Jake I think that's the best thing to do right now."

Stupid Joseph. Taking Jasmine's side.

"Okay," I said cautiously, "just watch out for birds."

"Watch out for WHAT?" asked Joseph.

"Birds," I replied.

I packed up and we left. I made the air move to see if it could sense the way Suki went. All I got was a couple of rabbits and a big bird. WAIT, A BIG BIRD! I veered suddenly to the left and ran as fast as I could.

"Jake, wait!" called Jasmine.

I didn't wait. I had to find Suki.

"JAAAAKE!"

I found out why she yelled that a moment later when I ran face first into a tree. I sat on the ground staring at the tree I had ran into.

"Sheesh, Jake. Watch where you're going."

"Right," I muttered.

I stood up and walked on.

"Jake, what are you doing?" Asked Joseph

"Finding Suki," I replied.

"I thought we were going to help this Sylvester guy," said Jasmine.

"Well, I-I… fine."

We set off in the opposite direction but I felt like I was abandoning Suki. I made my mind up. Once we got Suki back I was telling her that I liked her. Even if she didn't like me back. When we got back on trace I would deliberately walk into trees. Sure it hurt but it gave Suki time to catch up.

"Okay, Jake, if you don't stop you will give your self brain damage," said Jasmine.

"Jake has brain damage already. He keeps walking into trees."

"Oh, ha ha."

"We'll stop here."

We stopped. It took us about five minuets to light the fire without Suki's magic.

"I'm going to bed," I said. Watching the fire reminded me of Suki.

I slipped into my seeping bag and fell asleep.
