Chapter 8 (Tom's P.O.V.)
We didn't ride much longer after Fang and Callie joined our party. They didn't talk much on the way there, besides the fact Fang doesn't talk. Callie didn't say another word. I only noticed whenever Fang looked at Callie, Callie would simply nod. It was like a silent and wordless conversation and only the strange sisters understood each other.
"Tom, are you alright?" My attention turned to Leta who was unsaddling her horse. I simply nodded and got off my own horse. I watched Leta as she walked around, her white robes and long black hair trailing behind her. I had to admit, I've never met a woman quite like her.
"Hey Tom, get over here for a sec will ya?" Danny called to me.
"Eh, coming!" I pulled my horse's saddle off him and put it with the others. Then I made my way over to my friends who sat with Zed around a fire he had lit.
"So what's going on?" Harry asked Zed once I sat next to him on a log across from Danny and Dougie.
"I wanted to go over a few things for you before you rested for the night." Zed began to say. The four of us nodded and he continued. "While Fang and Callie have joined us and will teach you how to fight, I advise you not to talk back to them. They may look fragile, but they're beyond that. Especially Fang, if you talk back to them they'll punish you." The guys and I looked at one another and then I caught Dougie looking at something past my shoulder, and then Danny also looked past me. They both looked like they were in a daze.
I decided to turn around and see what they were looking at. Of course when I did I just sighed. Both Fang and Callie were setting up some tents. I don't know why, possible because of the leather they wore, but they seemed to look like goddesses as the moon shone on them. They were using the supplies they had very gently, afraid to break it. What Zed had told us just didn't seem to fit them.
Then my gaze traveled past Fang and Callie and over to Leta and Lilybell. The moon didn't shine on them because they were standing under some trees setting up another tent, but from what I could see, Leta was still just as beautiful as the other girls. Then something hit me in the back of my head.
"OW!" I whined as I rubbed the back of my head and turned back to face the others. Zed pulled his wooden staff from me and was glaring.
"That's what you get for not listening to me and gawking at your party members." The old man scolded me, and of course the guys laughed.
"Awww Tom was thinking of dirty thoughts!" Danny joked with a goofy grin.
"Look who's talking Romeo; I caught you and Dougie staring at the vixen in leather!" Both Dougie and Danny shut up. Then Harry and I laughed together.
I couldn't believe after everything that had happened we could still laugh like old times. It felt good to laugh.
It was soon time for us all to hit the hay, and I was so glad to! I didn't get much sleep for the past few days, I for once I was glad to sleep on the cold ground! It was better than nothing! Just before I followed the guys into our tent I noticed Leta leaving hers and entering the forest…alone. So I did what any guy would who is possibly crushing on a beauty like her…
I followed her.
She was walking deeper and deeper into the woods, but I continued to follow. I was a bit worried she was up to something, because she wasn't too cheerful about Fang and Callie joining our party like Lilybell was. I knew she would never say anything because she was so passionate about the duty of the Seekers having protectors. She would never say no to them.
I noticed she traveled between some trees that were very close together, of course I followed her. She suddenly stopped and I hid behind a tree so she wouldn't see me. She pulled out the blue light, the light she had from before that let us pass through us pass through the barrier, and lifted it up. Immediately the large, old tree in front of her lit with several blue lights and my mouth dropped open.
It was beautiful. It was like stars! I wanted to get closer but when I took a step, a branch snapped under my foot and Leta whipped around to face me. Immediately the blue lights vanished leaving us in the dark.
"What are you doing here?" She hissed at me which indeed surprised me.
"I was wondering where you were going…"
"So you followed me?" She asked as she crossed her arms over her chest. I rubbed the back of my neck, not wanting to actually say 'yes'. "Never mind, let's just go back to camp." She began walking away but then I found myself grabbing her wrist and spinning her around to face me.
She looked shocked, and I was too by my sudden actions.
"I just wanted to make sure you were okay." I finally spat out. She still looked at me like I was mad; I thought it was a good idea to release her, so I did.
"Why wouldn't I be okay?" She asked as she rubbed her wrist.
"I-I don't know…you seemed uneasy about Fang and Callie joining our party…" I said looking down at the ground. I heard her sigh and she walked closer to me.
"I'm fine, they've joined to help the seekers and that's all that matters." She said as she lifted my chin to look into her brown eyes. "Trust me." I smiled and nodded.
"Alright." She removed her hand from my chin.
"Come on, let's head back to camp." I nodded again and followed her.
After hearing that she was okay, I actually believed her. But I know there's something bothering her. She just won't tell me, at least…not yet.
