Have no school today and yesterday so thought I'd write a bit more on the story hope you guys enjoy! ( Getting to the dramatic bits now!)
Mare
Cal looked around, his eyes frantically searching. He circled, once then twice, staring straight at me a few times. Why couldn't he see me?
Cal
I looked around the cells, and then again, making sure I didn't miss her. They were empty. What the hell? I was sure she would be down here, there were way too many guards for the cells to be empty. There must be a lightbender somewhere close by. Calling my flames, I advanced towards the first cell. It was coated in blood and there was an odd shaped patch of clean floor among the red. This had to be Mare's cell. I unlocked it with a key I stole off of a guard and walked in cautiously.
As soon as my foot was placed on the floor of the cell, she popped into view. I choked as my eyes took her in. I clenched my fists, I could feel the heat rising as my anger grew. Her eyes were open and she was looking at me, hopeful and anxious. There were no chains, but judging by the fact she was on the floor and not moving, there was no need of them. Every inch of her body was either covered in fresh red blood or black and purple bruising. She whimpered quietly, evidently trying to talk. I rushed over to her, my eyes filled with tears. Why didn't I follow her? God this was all my fault. If only I'd known, I would've pushed myself harder.
Mare
I looked up at him. His bronze eyes were soft and filled with tears. I could see fear and anxiety in them, his hands clenched at his sides, clearly trying to contain his anger.I tried to call out, but it came out as a mere whimper. He seemed to understand because he rushed over and took me into his arms. He was blaming himself, that was blatantly obvious, but I couldn't do anything to comfort him. I gazed into his eyes, begging him to get me out of here, away from the memories that continued to haunt me. Suddenly, I was lying on the ground again. I heard a loud crack and saw Cal slumped against the wall, his eyes closed and head pouring silver blood. I tried to scream but nothing came out. I looked around wildly, trying to spot who the attacker was, but there was no-one there. I felt a shift in the air, it had to be a lightbender. Focusing, I crawled to Cal and took a small knife from its holster. another shift in the air alerted me to the lightbender's presence. I threw the knife with my remaining strength and it hit its mark. Silver blood appeared and then the body came crashing to the ground.
My eyes started to blur, I had used too much energy. I settled myself next to Cal, praying he would be alright. I could hear soldiers shouting, but the only thing I cared about now was closing my eyes and sleeping...
