I am soo sorry I haven't written in a while, I've been at theater camp! And I'm moving to FL haha so yeah, I should be writing more so thank you for reviewing, it means a lot.
And I want to dedicate this to my best friend, I love ya and thank you for everything you have done for me, I miss you so much! Btw ERICA DON'T TELL THE OTHER READERS!
Kendra POV
I was packing to get ready to leave and go save Grandma and Bracken. I went to get my clothes out of my dresser when someone knocked on the door. "Come in," I called. Erica came in and sat on my bed. In the past few weeks we have become very close. "Hey, I just wanted to say thank you, you know for risking your life for my brother." She said. "I'm happy to help, he's my friend. And I want him safe and my Grandma too." I replied. I joined her on the bed, and sat next to her.
"I just don't want you to feel like you have to do this for me, because you are my best friend and I never want that to change." She said. I was almost crying. "Never feel that way, because you are my best friend too. And I would do anything for you." I said, and I meant it, I would do anything for her. She looked up, her brown eyes blurred with tears. "Why are you crying?" I asked surprised. "Because I have such a good friend, that you would risk your life for my happiness.
And I would do anything for you too, Kendra." She said. Now I was crying, not because I was sad, but because she cared so much for me, she was truly like my sister. I hugged her tightly. "Your more than my best friend Erica, you're my sister." I declared. She didn't say anything, she just hugged me tighter. I was so glad I had a true friend, that knew everything and was a part of it, and was a hundred percent on my side, and most importantly, I could trust her with everything.
Erica POV
I was just so glad that she would help me, and I didn't want her to feel uncomfterble. I really did love Kendra like a sister. I never wanted to see her hurt, but I needed my brother back, and I needed Kendra to do it. She knew it too. And was still willing, but I can't help but feel like I'm using her. That's why I came to talk to her, but I still feel bad. I know she trusts me, and I trust her. But how will things be after I'm reunited with my brother? Her blonde hair fell around her shoulders, and was about mid back. It was in slight ringlets of curls, and made her look like a unicorn, she looked more so than I. I had dark brown hair in tight curls, and midnight eyes, so dark you could barely see the pupils. And my skin is tan, while hers is pale. Her eyes are blue, like little whirlpools, and with a ring of gold surrounding the pupils. I couldn't help but feel jealous of her.
She was so beautiful, I mean so was I but…there was just something about her. And I was just so beautiful, that it almost didn't seem real. She had something I craved so bad, actuality. She would always have normal beauty.
I would always be inhuman. Ugh! "Your hair is so pretty." I commented. She blinked away some of her tears and looked up. "W-what?" she said thickly. I stroked her golden curls. Another tear fell. "Why are you crying now?" I asked with mock seriousness. Her lower lip trembled. "Because I wish my grandma and Bracken were safe, and – and you are such a good friend, and I've never had such a good friend as you, and I'll never be nearly half as pretty as you are." She replied. I didn't respond, because it was all true. I know it is mean, impertinent and arrogant, but it was the truth. She would never be as pulchritudinous as I was, and going to stay, she was the lucky one. Another tear trickled down her porcelain cheek. "Don't cry sweetie, I would trade my beauty for your life any day. I have a family that loves me, I have a wonderful lover, I am in good health, I have an amazing best friend, power, and let's face it just look at me, I'm gorgeous. But sometimes it just isn't enough." I told her. She looked up. "What more could you possibly want than that?" she asked seriously. "What you have, reality. And sometimes I just get so jealous of it. Plus you have done so much, so many things you can be proud of, and I have done nothing but look pretty and sit around all day talking to fairies and reading. Nothing productive, nothing to be proud of, but be born into a powerful family." I spilled. I was so ashamed of myself.
Now she was stroking my perfectly curled hair, I looked so fake, but it was what I looked like when I woke up this morning. My hair soft, and in tight cork screw curls that fell around my dark eyes and thick black lashes. My skin is always perfectly tanned; my long and strong nails naturally light pink. My lips the color of rosebuds, my skin is flawless. I was just naturally stunning. And I knew everyone knew it too. I just wish I was normal, and I don't even look like a unicorn. My mother secretly wishes I looked more like her, my sisters, and even Kendra. Karla and Ileana are as beautiful as me, but both have platinum blonde hair, even though something happened with them, Karla has purple streaks in her hair, and Ileana has blue streaks.
But it's been told that special unicorns have different colorations in their hair. And every few thousand years there is one special unicorn, with a streak of rainbow coloration, my mother is one. Kendra looked up and smiled. "Well I have to get packing, thank you for being here." She said. I got up and left.
Kendra POV I am just so glad I have such an amazing friend. She is so self- sacrificing, and brave. I wish I could be more like her. I heard some footsteps in the hall. I walked away from my dresser and to the door. As I opened the door I saw Seth about to knock. "Hi, Seth." I greeted him. "Hey." He muttered. "Uhh, what's up? Are you packed?" I asked. "Kinda, I actually wanted to talk to you 'bout sumthin." He said. I felt my face brighten. "Oh, well come on in and sit down then." I said. He sat down in my blue bean bag chair. "What's up?" I asked. "Well Newell and Doren asked if I wanted to go to a party tonight, and I don't think everyone will let me." He said. "Well, what do you want me to do about that?" I asked. "Will you help me? You know sneak out?" he asked. "No! I will not help you sneak out!"I whisper yelled.
"Pleaaaaaaaaase! I'll let you come! And you can bring Gavin, haha or Kingston. If you know what I mean." He said while nudging me in the arm. "SETH!" I yelled this time. He shrugged. "Well, are you in?" he asked. I thought over this, wait- why am I thinking this over I should just say no! It's so irresponsible, and juvenile! "No, I am not .It is irresponsible and juvenile! Do you know how much trouble you could get into if I told?" I scolded. "But you won't tell, because you are coming with me." He stated. "No, I'm not, Seth." I told him. He got up and walked over to the door. "Shure you won't, we'll see about that later.
Seth POV I walked down the hall from Kendra's room. I reached Gavin's door and knocked. Gavin came to the door. "Hey, w-what's up?" he asked. "Well I was wondering if…can I came in?" I asked. He nodded. "Okay, well I wanted to know if you wanted to come to a party tonight." I figured just get it all out, no use in small talk. "Uhh, no." he said. "What- well why!" I stammered. "Because it is stupid, and it's i-iresponsible, and j-juvenile." He said. I laughed. "W-what?" he asked defensive. "That is the same exact thing Kendra said." I laughed. He blushed and looked down.
"I'll go if K-Kendra goes." He said shortly. I smiled my evil smile. "Okay good, then you're going. I'll meet you downstairs at the back porch about an hour after everybody goes to sleep, so about eleven." I told him. "Wait, but is it a good idea? I mean w-we are leavening in a few days? What I-if something h-happens?" he said. I didn't really think about that, but hey its Newell and Doren, how bad could it – well very bad but we'll be fine. "We are just going to go visit a friend of mine."I blankly told him. "Is it a demon, troll, or satyr?" Gavin asked. Fruitcicles he was good. "Just Newell and Doren…well see ya tonight." I said and rushed out the door. I went to my closet and took out my emergency kit, and took out the list of embarrassing things I could do to Kendra and Gavin. Pour water down Gavin's shirt. Take all of Kendra's pants before Gavin does something with her. Tell Verl. Tell Kendra to meet 'Gavin' at the naiad pond but tell Kingston to go instead. Get them both into major trouble so they won't see the light of day (or each other) ever again! That deserves a MWUHAHAHAH! Get help from Kingston
Haha I thought it was pretty good. But I need to start putting my plans into action. Number 3 didn't work out so well or maybe it did…. Somebody knocked on the door; I shoved my pad into the cereal box and slid it under my bed. "What?" I called. The door opened. Kendra walked in. "Hey, uh, is Gavin going to the party thingy?" she asked. "Wait, how did you know?" I asked. "He came to my room and asked 'Are you going to go to the thingy with the Satyrs?'" she replied with a smile. "Oh, well yeah he is going, are you?" I questioned. She nodded, and then left?
Kendra POV It was almost eleven. I was sitting at my dresser. It was chilly out so I wore a light blue sweater with a matching cami underneath and black skinny jeans. I was brushing through my hair. Sometimes the curls just look so pretty. But that's beside the point; I looked into the mirror once more before I walked out the door. I hopped down the stairs, but not too noisily. Gavin was waiting for me on the porch. "Hey cutie." He said as I opened the porch door. I blushed and looked down at my dirty converse. "Hello." I replied. He reached out for my hand, I took it quickly. The door creaked open again; I turned to see Seth and Kingston! What was he doing here! "'Sup guys," Seth said. Gavin looked as upset as I was that Kingston was here. But he was hiding it well. I squeezed his hand, and he smiled. "Well are we going to go?"I asked. Everyone nodded and we walked down the stairs and into the edge of the path to the forest. When we were almost there I thought I heard something rustling in the tree's or bushes. I stopped, everyone looked at me. Kingston's eyes widened. "Run, now."
He said so fast I barely heard. I looked at the nearest tree and ran too it and climbed. I looked down to see if the others were following, they were. I was wondering what that was! It sounded big. I was sitting on a high branch next to Gavin and Seth. Oh, no it was a fog giant. Kingston is down there all by himself. I decided to make a realllly stupid decision. I jumped down a few branches close to the ground. Kingston was standing there with the Giant standing in front of him. I was so scared for him. But suddenly he started to morph, he got bigger, and in place of his skin were white platinum scales, polishes perfectly. They glowed in the moonlight so beautifully. His eyes were slits but the iris was a bright vibrant blue. I almost forgot that he was a dragon; it was hard to see him this way.
I've never seen him as a dragon before. He was huge! He looked over and motioned upward. I shook my head. Being stubborn was a quality of mine. The fog giant walked over to Kingston and ripped a limb of the tree I was in and swung it at him. I'm not going to lie to myself, I was terrified. Kingston's eyes widened as he saw the limb being torn from the same tree I was in. I shut my eyes closed tight. I took a deep breath and re- opened them. A flash of light streaked from Kingston's direction and headed to the giant. It seemed to strike him. Another one came in a thinner line, it appeared to be lightning. Oh that must be his breath weapon! The fog giant fell to the ground on the third strike. Once the smoke cleared from the lightning, I saw Kingston standing there in human form and the fog giant was lying in a pool of a black gooey substance.
I jumped down from my branch and ran over to Kingston; his cheek was slightly splattered in a silver liquid. I dipped my finger in it. I gave him a questioning look. "Blood." He said simply. I quickly removed my hand from his cheek and wiped it on his shirt. "Oh, even your blood is pretty." I said with a smile, I just realized I shouldn't have said that. I took a step back and turned around. Gavin was still getting down from the tree, so hopefully he couldn't hear me. "Thank you. Again," I said.
Okay…so what did you think! I worked realllly hard. Please review! And again sorry for not updating sooner! : )
