Ch. 8-Jasmine
A few hours after I fell asleep on the most comfortable bed ever, I heard footsteps. I crept out of bed and towards the door. There was a small hole in the door, so I could barly make out two figures in the darkness. They were whispering and I could only make out a few words. "Princesses, fake, close, master, kill." That was all that I needed to hear.
I grabbed my bag and stuffed in all of the things i thought would be useful. Toothbrush, clothes, and iPod, like before. I also grabbed some snacks and water bottles from the mini fridge in my room. I grabbed some money that was in the top drawer of the nightstand and practically flew to Suki's room.
"Suki wake up!" I whispered.
"What is it?" she replied groggily. I felt bad about waking her. She needed to sleep. We both did. Sadly, there was no time for that.
"I heard someone in the hallway, we need to go now," I whispered quickly. Suki got up and I helped her shove things in a bag. I even remembered the snacks.
"What did they say? Why do we have to leave now?" Suki asked when we were done packing.
"That's not important right now. I'll tell you when we are out of here," I said and we left.
There were no guards or traps at all. The worst thing we faced is that we got lost in the hallways for a second, but we quickly found our way out. We walked through the forest for as long as we could, away from the little town. Soon we were surrounded by trees on all sides and we decided we were far enough, so we made camp and fell asleep.
The next morning, as we walked, we came across another small village. This one didn't have a waterfall, and I didn't see any people, so I started walking toward it, my senses on high alert.
"Wait! What are you doing?" Suki demanded,"This could be another trap!"
"I know," I replied, "Just be careful and watch your back. We're going in"
"Fine," Suki said, "But I get to pick what we do the next time we see a trap."
"Whatever. Just come on!" I said as I walked toward the village. We walked to the center of the village. There was a huge statue of a knight killing a dragon.
"See they can't be that bad," I said, "At least the dragon is being killed, not temed up with. Suki rolled her eyes and I went to touch the statue.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," said an unfamiliar voice.
"Yeah, Mama would kill us if we touched the dragon's grave," another voice said.
"That's the statue, the dragon's grave," the first voice said. I turned and saw two boys step out of the shadows. They both looked about ten years old and were probably brothers.
"I'm Jake and this is Joseph. He's my twin," he first voice said.
"Hi," Joseph said, "Who are you?" Suki made a don't tell motion, but I threw caution to the wind.
"My name is Jasmine, and this is Suki," I said, "Do you guys live here?"
"Yes," said Jake, "We do. Why?"
"Where is everyone?" Suki said, finally talking.
"They are all inside. Probably because there was an alert that strangers were here," Jake said, "But if you're the best strangers the world will give us, I don't think I need to be inside."
"You seem pretty tough," Suki said, winking at me, "do you guys have training areas here?" That's Suki. Always wanting to train.
"Yes. They are on the other side if the village," Joseph said, "We can take you there if you'd like!" Suki gave me a pleasing look, and I figured I owed her for coming here, even though she said not to. Plus, we needed the practice if we were going to beat this R.L.G guy. So I nodded and the boys took us to the training area.
As soon as we rounded the corner with the boys, everyone came out and went back to whatever they were doing before.
