My wrist was numb. Not the nice numb where it tickles and it feels like loads of leaves brushing by, but the pins and needles unable to use numb. Now if I was anywhere sane I could go to hospital and get it checked. Here I was stuck with a throbbing purple wrist. At least I wasn't in the hole anymore . In the middle of the desert. Now this is why you should never be guilty. Or get caught. Yeah who cares about being innocent just don't get caught. I couldn't even go back to the stupid camp till Pedanski came back with water again... Or could I? I'm sure one of these strong boys could carry me back. I glanced at the boys around me once more before clearing my throat to get their attention. "Anyone fancy doing me a favour? Pretty please?" All the boys exchanged looks before digging again. Meanies. See if I ever help them. Hmph Oh well looks like I was stuck here. Back to sunbathing for me, not like I can dig anyway. It was a couple of hours later after I had drifted off to sleep when a sharp hit on my leg caused me to open my eyes. Shading my eyes from the sun I took note of X-ray holding his shovel. The wooden handle having obviously just hit my leg. A jumped to my feet and went to complain before a hand was raised and a finger pressed to his lips. That's when I noticed he wasn't looking at me, but rather past me. I went to turn before a small wheezing sound made me freeze and look at X who was making gestures for me to freeze.
"You did hear about the lizards didn't you?" His eyes were wide and creeped me out a bit.
"Lizards?" I stared back in confusion.
"Yes. The yellow lizards. One bite and you're a dead man...err girl I guess." He continued. Cheerful.
"Well as interesting as that is why are you telling me?"
"Just don't turn around." oh no oh no oh no
"W...why?"
"Because there's one behind you." I froze even more. What ?! "Okay now stay here...I'll go get help. Just ..just don't move." With that he began to back away before when at a safe distance he began to run back to camp. God I hope he was quick. While I waited I glanced around at the other holes. All of them were deep and probably perfect. Everyone else had vanished, probably done for the dayOh god I was going to die alone! A couple minutes later and my body was stiff from keeping still. Slowly
I turned to see if I could somehow manage to sneak away when I saw it. The it being nothing. There was nothing there.
I was going to kill him.

We all glanced up when X-ray came in laughing loudly about something, of course everyone in the cafeteria spun round to see this strange sight. I couldn't help but notice the lack of a small Blonde girl behind him. Probably reporting back to her boss. The next second everyone jumped, bar me who was used to these unexpected events, as the doors to the room swung open with a bang and everyone turned away from the still grinning X to face the now blushing girl. X started to laugh again.
"YOU!"
I flinched back automatically raising my hands is surrender. All this got was a moment of confusion from Am and some weird looks from the rest of the guys. I tilted my head in confusion before Amy's hand shot out and prodded X-ray in the chest. At this X seemed to realise he really was in trouble and began to back away his exit quickly blocked by the lump and some of his friends. A small whimper escaped him as he met the blondes flashing eyes. "HOW DARE YOU! That wasn't FUNNY! I thought I was going to Die!" Each word was followed by a prod into his chest. Now with no one standing behind him X began to back up looking to us for help. He must be crazy if he thought we would take on her. Her cheeks had flushed red and her hand was clenched into a fist while her hair seemed to crackle with energy. Her eyes were the most extraordinary. Flashing different colours like waves on a beach.
I missed the beach.
Eventually his back hit the wall and we all crowded round curious as what would happen next. Squid, Twitch and The Lump seemed to be having a conversation over whether to intervene. They chose not to.
Good choice.
"I aint sorry, Princess if that's what you want to hear." With that he tried to escape once more before a hand shot out pulling him back. X flinched as her vibrant blue claws dug into his arm.
"You aren't going anywhere. Got it?" He went to laugh before Zeus and Atlas moved forwards placing a hand on either shoulder.
"Don't you worry, Princess we'll make sure he stays here."…looks like someone got her nickname.
Amy sent them a smile before reaching out to grab someone else's hand. Squids. Anger filled me.
What did I do wrong?
Wait no she must already be using her mind control on me.
I must fight it. I remained focused on their hands as she leaned up and whispered in his ear and then led him from the still cafeteria. She stopped only once to gesture that Dan should follow them out.
Their hands never parted and I remained focused on them even after the door had shut.

Squid was quiet as I led him out the door and to our tent, upon arriving Ipushed him down to sit on one of the cots before standing over him smirking.
He gulped.
"soooooo...Squiddy...How much do you love me?"
"whaaa ...erm...I mean...help?" He shot a pleading look at Dan behind me as I began to giggle.
"Don't worry honey I'm only ...I have an idea and you're going to help. Both of you that is." I smiled at both boys who exchanged nervous glances, finally they both looked at me and nodded. "Right. Here's what we're going to do..."
