Sorry about not posting this last week. I'm having some troubles with staying into this story. I feel as if there is only like, five people reading this story. Well, to whoever is reading this I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Now that the dance was over, we were able to go home. But Katrina wanted to stay an extra day to see if her brother would show up. When it started getting late and there was no sign of him Katrina finally said that we could leave.
Katrina and I hopped up onto the backs of the dragons that had carried us here and then they flew to the coast that faced Vroengard. With how late it was, we decided to just stay there for the night and once again Katrina snuggled up to me and we fell asleep.
In the morning we were back on our way to Vroengard. After spending almost half of the day in the saddle we were relieved to see that Vroengard was sitting on the horizon. The dragons were excited too and sped up. We reached Vroengard several hours after lunch.
As the dragons landed on the landing platform a welcoming party was gathered around. Before Katrina and I went to our friends, we thanked the riders and dragons for bringing us home. After we did that, we hurried over to the group and we were given countless hugs and the dragons gathered around roared and blew fire into the air.
A once small figure managed to push her way through the crowd and finally reached her rider. Sencil, the once small dragon was now above waist high and her black horns and claws were gleaming. The dragon tackled Katrina to the ground and then began to nuzzle her while she shed large tears from her closed eyes.
Katrina hugged her dragon and whispered to her in the ancient language.
I looked around for Blugun and saw a speck of blue in the sky that was rapidly approaching. Behind it was a speck of purple. The two dragons reached us after less than a minute and when they touched down Blugun did the same to me that Sencil had done for Katrina. I hugged his large blue head and told him how badly I had missed him. Amethi came over to us and began to nuzzle me as well. I included her in our hug and then we all joined minds. The entire time we had been separated I had felt as if a part of me had been missing but now that our minds were once more connected I felt complete.
I heard something to my right shuffling around and so I looked over to see that Katrina was mounting Sencil for the first time and they were preparing for their first flight together. I quickly wormed my way out from beneath Blugun and then I jumped up and onto his back.
Are you ready to fly? I asked Blugun.
Whenever you're ready. Blugun said to me.
"Awesome, lets go!" I shouted with both my mind and my voice. Blugun brought his large wings down and shot off of the ground and soared into the sky. I looked down and saw that Sencil and Katrina were hovering several feet above the ground. Amethi helped out her daughter by pushing her higher into the air with her snout. Once Amethi was sure that Sencil knew how to fly with her rider, Amethi took off sending a large gust of air shooting at the ground which then bounced off and hit Sencil as she was flapping her wings down. The blast of air caused the young dragon to shoot up high into the sky.
Sencil and Katrina then soared through the air, the flaps of Sencil getting stronger with each that passed.
I turned back to Blugun and focused on him and how he flew, how he reveled in the fact that he was once again flying with his rider. Blugun did all he could to make the flight as fun as he could possibly do. He did flips, spirals and dives which all left me breathless and excited. Blugun was losing energy and so he landed on the ground and Amethi landed next to him.
Would you like to ride me? Amethi asked me. I looked over to Blugun and he nodded that he was okay with me riding another dragon and then I hurried over to the purple dragon and hopped up and onto the dragon, then she took flight. We flew around for a while and then we touched down on the landing platform where Blugun was waiting for us with everybody else.
The group moved to the eating hall and then we all ate while we talked of events passed. When we were all done eating we went our separate ways and before I could follow Manny and Claire as well as our dragons back to our building a hand gripped my shoulder. I turned to see that it was Eragon. Beside him stood Katrina.
"I'm sorry to pull you away from your friends but we need to talk." Eragon said to me. Then he looked over at Katrina and said "All three of us." Then without another word he walked outside and Katrina and I hurried to catch up.
Eragon led us to his study and then Katrina and I sat in the two chairs that were in front of Eragon's desk. Eragon then sat in the chair behind the desk and after a wave of his hand two riders, one a dwarf the other an elf, entered the room with a large roll of parchment under their arm as well as a bottle of ink and a couple quills in the other hand.
They set their stuff up on the corners of the desk and then dipped their quills in the ink and held the quills over the ink-jar while they looked to Eragon, most likely waiting for him to start talking so that they could start writing.
"Josh and Katrina, you two have been through much and I hate that I must ask you to do this." Eragon said to us after a sigh. The other riders wrote quickly over the parchment as Eragon spoke. "I must ask you to tell us of what happed after you were captured. My friends here will help us by writing down everything we say that way we can look over the story again later. So please, begin with after you realized that you were poisoned."
Katrina and I looked over to each other and then we mentally asked each other who should speak first. We decided that it was going to be Katrina that was going to speak.
Katrina took a deep breath and collected her thoughts then she began to explain our tale. "After you had connected with my mind and said something about my mind feeling strange, I immediately checked the drink for poison. Once I found out that there was some I explained to Josh what had happened. While I was explaining I just kind of like froze up and everything went dark."
Now it was my turn to start explaining. "After Katrina froze up and started to fall I hurried over to her and caught her before she hit the ground and then I started to freeze up as well. Just before everything went blank for me I felt a group of people closing in on us. After that everything is blank until I woke up in the pavilion."
I then looked over to Katrina and nodded. She nodded back and then she said to Eragon "I managed to wake up as they were taking us into the building. I had looked around and saw that there was doors all around me and that there were five men taking Josh and I somewhere into the pavilion. Two of the men were carrying Josh between them, the other two were carrying me. The last guy was between Josh and I and he was carrying all of our stuff."
"As soon as I saw the perfect time to escape I broke free of their hold on me and then I kicked the man that was holding our stuff in the back of the knees. Sadly, all he dropped was Josh's ring. I grabbed it and then ran through the nearest door." Katrina said to us. "The door led to the kitchens of the building. I then ran through another door and saw that I was in some kind of pantry. It was full of food and had a couple of door leading out of it."
"I was able to hear the men chasing after me so I hurried through the nearest door and found myself in another kitchen." Katrina told us. "I just kept running through doors until I eventually reached the servant's quarters. I remembered about something I had read in a scroll a while back and then I went over to one of the windows and opened it as wide as it would go and then I ran over to a bed that was in the corner and hid underneath it. Just before the men ran into the room I remembered about an invisibility spell so I quickly used it."
"The men ran into the room and saw the window open and thought that I had jumped through the window so one of them jumped out of the window and the other stayed behind and looked underneath a few of the beds then he followed the other man." Katrina said to us. "I waited underneath the bed for a few minutes until I decided to come out. But, as soon as I did I heard people coming my way so I hurried back underneath the bed. The people that were coming in were the servants. They were coming in so that they could change into their good looking work clothes for the large banquet they were having that night."
"None of the servants knew the reason for the sudden banquet but I did learn about a few rumors about the top people in the Dark Riders. None had anything to do with any kind of battling. They all consisted about how some of them had bastard children with some of the servants." Katrina told us. "Shortly after they came in I ran out of energy for my spell so I was then visible so I worked my way back into the corner to make sure nobody saw me."
"After the servants were all gone I came out from underneath the bed and before I could go back underneath one of the servants came back into the room. When she saw me she came over to me and asked me if I was new there. I told her yes and then she asked me where my uniform was. I told her that I hadn't been given one so she led me over to her bed, the one right next to where I had been hiding and opened the small chest that was at the foot of the bed."
"The girl opened it and then she pulled out one of her spare uniforms and then she handed it to me. She told me to hurry and get dressed or else we would be late. So I quickly put on the uniform and then she showed me the way to the kitchens. She told me that they were always in need of a dishwasher so she told me to stay in front of the sinks and be ready to start washing." Katrina said to us. "So, I did and while she was walking away I changed my face both in reality and in her memory that way I could remain hidden."
"I stayed undercover as a servant for at least two months while Josh continued to sleep. I'm guessing that they kept giving him something to make him continue to sleep." Katrina told us. "I waited until I was able to contact him until we broke out of there. Thankfully as a servant I had to walk all over the place so it was easy for me to memorize the way. I also managed to get into a room that had a map of Alagaesia in it. On the map was the location of the pavilion as well as a couple of other headquarters of the Dark Riders."
"When I was finally able to connect to Josh's mind, I directed him towards me and then we broke out of there and flew to the city you found us in where we went undercover as a couple of servants at an inn." Katrina told them. "After about three weeks you guys found us and then we were brought to Carvahall and then to here."
Eragon nodded and then he asked the two scribes "Did you get all of that?" the two riders held up their parchment for Eragon to inspect and then he nodded again. "Good. You may leave." The two riders nodded and then they gathered their stuff, bowed to Eragon, and then they left the room.
"You two have been through much in the past months and I wouldn't be surprised if you forgot about the mission I wanted you two to go on." Eragon told us. I actually had forgotten about it. I looked over to Katrina and saw the surprised look on her face. She had forgotten about it as well.
"Now that Sencil is large enough to ride, I would like for you two to leave as soon as Sencil is a bit stronger. Strong enough to fly with Katrina for at least three hours without a break." Eragon said to us. "Until then, return to your classes and learn. I want you to grow stronger as well. Farewell."
Katrina and I stood and then bowed to Eragon and left.
We had the rest of the day off and then the next day we went to our first class.
"Ah, it is very good to see you two again." Samson said to Katrina and I as we. After all the time I had spent without wearing my armor, I had grown weak. The armor felt heavy on me as I walked towards our fighting instructor.
"It is good to see you as well." I said to Samson once I was closer.
Samson smiled down at all four of us and then he went over to the table that usually held the bows and arrows and came back holding two large items wrapped in cloth. "These are for you." He said as he handed Katrina and I each of the packages.
I unwrapped the cloth to reveal a sword. I quickly took the rest of the cloth off and saw that the sword was almost exactly like the one I had previously wielded. The only difference was that the gem in the hilt was no longer an onyx, but a dark sapphire.
I looked over to Katrina and saw that her new sword was exactly the same as her old one.
"These are to replace the ones you lost." Samson said to us. "It has been quite some time since the last time I was a blade smith so I hope you enjoy them."
"You were a blade smith?" Claire asked Samson surprised.
The large man nodded and said "When I was a kid I was a blade smith apprentice. Then my dragon hatched for me and my master quickly taught me how to forge a sword before I had to come here to Vroengard to advance my rider training."
"I didn't think I would remember all the stuff that my old master had taught me but I managed it." Samson said with a large smile. "As soon as I walked into Rhunon's forge it all came back to me. All the old lessons I had been taught, all the mistakes I had made, the patience of Master as he corrected my mistakes and taught me the correct way. Those were some great times."
"Will you please teach me how to be a blade smith?" Claire asked Samson.
Samson smiled at her and then he said "I'm sorry, but it is not my place to teach you the art of the forge. That is the job of Rhunon. She shall teach you how to forge when your time here is almost done. Did Rhunon not tell you this when you were studying enchantments?"
"Yeah," Claire said to Samson. "But that is like forever away. I want to learn now not later."
Samson chuckled a little and then he said "Don't worry. That day may come sooner than you think."
After that, Samson decided that we needed some basic exercise before we could continue our sword training. First, we did laps around a track the Samson set up and then we did push-ups and then sit ups. After that, we did more laps but this time with weights strapped to our wrists and ankles. By the time it was time for class to finish, Katrina and I had burning muscles and clothes soaked in sweat.
We walked to our rooms before lunch and quickly washed and dressed and then we went to lunch.
Afterwards we went to our magic class where Serana was waiting in her seat. We all sat down as well and then Serana said to Katrina and I "It is good to see you two again."
"It is good to see you as well, Serena-Elda." I said to Serena.
"It is truly great to see you once more." Katrina said to our teacher.
"You two have quite a bit of catching up to do." Serena said as she gestured to the table which had at least six thick scrolls on it.
"Are those for us?" I asked Serena.
The woman nodded and then she said "This set is for you, Josh. I have Katrina's in my bag." She said as she patted her large bag she always carried.
My jaw dropped. "We have six scrolls each?" I asked her.
Serena nodded and then a smile broke through her normally stern face and then she started giggling. Then her giggling turned into pure laughter. Katrina and I looked at each other in confusion and then over to Manny and Claire and we saw that they were having troubles holding back their own laughter.
Serena finally pulled herself back together and then she told Katrina and I "I'm sorry about that." Then she waved her hands over the scrolls and four of them disappeared. "I was just making a joke." Serena said with a smile.
Now that I understood what was going on, I laughed as well. "That was pretty good. I was so scared that I had to do so much work."
"Please don't ever do that again." Katrina said with a smile and a little laugh.
Serena laughed a little more and then she said "I swear I will not trick you again." Then she picked up the scrolls and tossed one to each of us. "The scroll has all of the ancient language that you missed while you were gone. They also each have two stories in them. I think you will like the second one."
"Well, time to start class." Serena said to us. "You two need to rebuild your magic energy so I want all four of you to do some basic practices that will make you stronger."
For the rest of the class we lifted rocks, moved rocks around, pushed rocks against a magic barrier that Serena set up.
After class, Katrina and I were mentally exhausted. We grabbed our scrolls and then we went to our building and after taking some energy from my ring, we lifted ourselves up to the roof. I'm not really sure what we had talked about while we were up there. The only things I was sure of was Katrina's hand which sat in my own and also that I was fucking tired.
I'm pretty sure that I dozed off for a little bit because when I opened my eyes it was just Katrina and I on the roof. Once again, Katrina had fallen asleep pressed against me. This time she was sitting in my lap. She had actually gotten out of her chair and climbed into mine with me. I wrapped my arms around her and then I got comfortable in my chair and fell back asleep.
On the roof top closest to us Manny and Claire exchanged several gold coins while Manny said "I told you so."
"Shut up Manny. So what you were right about them being a couple. I bet that I will win the rest of our bets." Claire said to the young elf.
"I think you have a betting problem." Manny said to the young human. Then he held out his hand and said "You're on." Then they shook hands and yet another bet was sealed.
Half an hour later I woke up again and saw that Katrina was still sleeping. I gazed up at the sky and did a quick calculation using the position of the sun and I saw that Katrina and I still had about twenty minutes until dinner was no longer being served.
I shook Katrina awake and she groggily opened her eyes with a yawn. "What?" Katrina asked me. She rubbed her eyes and then she said "I was having a good dream."
"Sorry to wake you." I said before kissing her lightly. "We only have about twenty minutes until there will not be any more dinner so I suggest we get moving."
"Now that you brought up food I'm starving." Katrina said to me as she pressed a hand to her stomach.
"You're not starving." I said to her. "You're just hungry. Lets get going." Katrina nodded and then she got off of my lap and we jumped off of the roof and used magic to catch ourselves. We then ran to the eating hall.
When we went in, we saw that there were only about four other riders in the eating hall. When Katrina and I got to the table with all the food on it, we were very happy to see that there was still a pretty good amount of food left.
We heaped our plates high and then we started to walk over to a table but on the way there, I heard the sound of crying and looked over to see that a girl maybe a year younger than me was sitting alone and her shoulders were shaking slightly.
I went over to her and set my plate down next to her and then I sat down next to her. The girl looked slightly frightened of me and her eyes wouldn't leave my draconian arm.
"What's the matter?" I asked her.
The girl quickly wiped her eyes and she said to me "Nothing is the matter."
"Then why were you crying?" I asked her.
The girl stammered for a few seconds then she shut her mouth and didn't say anything. Another tear trickled down her cheek and I wiped it away with my normal arm that way I didn't frighten her. I looked over to Katrina and saw her standing beside me. I looked into her eyes and then I sent her a mental message.
Will you please help me to help her? I asked her.
Katrina nodded and then she set her plate down next to the girl and then she sat down as well.
"Will you tell me what's wrong?" Katrina asked her. "Please, just girl to girl." Katrina looked up to me and I understood what she meant. I stood up and went a few paces away. The girl started to quietly talk to Katrina and while she was talking the girl burst into tears. I looked around and found some napkins so I grabbed them and brought them over to the girl. She thanked me and then I took several steps back again.
The girl continued to talk for the next couple minutes and at the end Katrina hugged the girl and said a few words to her. Then Katrina looked over to me and I went over to see what was happening.
"Do you mind if I tell me friend what happened?" Katrina asked the girl. The girl looked at me with what could have been fear. "I know he's a guy and that he might not understand but he is very smart and if her doesn't understand then he will try his hardest to understand."
The girl looked at me for a few more seconds and then she nodded. "I'll tell him." She said to us.
"Do you mind if I sit down?" I asked the girl.
She nodded again and then I sat down next to her. "My name is Josh. What's yours?"
"Reimal." The girl said to me.
"That is a very nice name." I said to her. "You may begin whenever you're ready."
Reimal nodded and then she took a deep breath and said "It all started when I when to the annual hatching ceremony. My parents had never liked riders so they weren't entirely happy when my dragon hatched for me." Reimal sighed. "After I was done with my training back home, my master told me that I was ready for Vroengard but before I left to finish my training I would have to talk to my parents."
"I did as he told me and talked to my parents." Reimal said. "They screamed at me and my mother was so furious that she actually slapped me." Reimal told us as she held her right cheek. "I never understood why my parents hated the riders and they would never try to explain it to me. They refused to let me go to Vroengard. After that I went and talked to my boyfriend about it and he talked me into disobeying my mother and father and so that night I got my stuff together while everybody was sleeping and then my dragon and I flew away."
Before Reimal began to talk again a tear started to fall down her cheek so I grabbed a napkin and handed it to her. "Thank you." Reimal said to me before wiping away the fluid. "It didn't take us long before we got here and a couple days afterward I received a message from my parents. It said that I was in serious trouble for disobeying them and that when they went searching for me they found my boyfriend in an alley with his tongue in the mouth of some blond girl. After the letter talked about him cheating on me my parents had actually written down ha ha ha. They were laughing at me." Reimal said as a sob escaped her.
"At the end of the letter it said that I wasn't worth the time and hassle so they were going to disown me as soon as they could." Reimal couldn't hold back her tears anymore and they started to fall. I embraced the weeping girl and she shed her tears on my tunic.
I looked up at Katrina and saw that she was crying as well. I then looked down to Reimal and said to her "Would you like for me to speak to Eragon about this? He might be able to talk your parents into changing their minds."
Reimal turned her tear streaked face towards me and asked me "Can you really speak to Eragon?" after I nodded she asked me "Why would the leaders of the riders bother to listen to a student?"
I smiled a little and said "Because I'm special." Then I held up my right arm. "If he doesn't listen to me then maybe he will listen to someone of his own blood-line." Then I gestured to Katrina.
Reimal looked at the two of us amazed. Then she lowered her head against my chest again but this time she quietly cried. Possibly from happiness. When she raised her head from my chest she had a smile on her face. "Thank you, Josh." Then she turned to Katrina and told her thank you as well.
Then Reimal stood up and tossed her remaining food in the trash and then she left the hall.
Katrina moved closer to me and then we both took a bite of our food. Then we used a spell and heated up our food. Then we enjoyed the rest of our meal. Once that was done, we went out in search of Eragon.
We first looked in his study but he wasn't there we went and looked in the various other places we could think of, including the conference room. We eventually found the captain of one of the armies walking the halls and we asked him about the location of Eragon.
"He is speaking with some very important men and women. He will be busy for some time." The tall Kull told us. "There are several elves and dwarves among the group he is speaking with and they like to take their time. It may be a couple days before we are capable of speaking with him."
"Shit." I muttered.
"Why did you need to speak with him?" the Kull asked us.
"One of our friends was having some troubles with her family and we wondered if Eragon could speak with her family to see if he could get it resolved." Katrina told the captain.
He brought his large gray hand up and scratched his chin. After a couple seconds of thought, he said to us "I shall pass on your message as soon as I see Eragon. I shall tell him that you two had something personal to discuss. He will most likely call you into his study to talk so I suggest you bring the one who is having troubles."
"Thank you, Sir." I said to the Kull. The large creature nodded at me and then he walked off down the hallway.
"Well, now that that is resolved I think that it's time for bed." Katrina said to me. Then she kissed me and said "Good night." I kissed her back and then I also bid her good night. Then we went our separate ways. Katrina to her room and me to mine.
After I reached my room I took my boots off and then I undressed and redressed into my sleeping clothes. Instead of sleeping in my bed, I slept with Blugun in his.
When I woke up I was surprised to see that Katrina wasn't in the room. I walked over to my alarm and shut it off and then I rewound it and started to get dressed. Once I was done I went to breakfast by riding on Blugun's back. After Blugun dropped me off and went to his own cave to eat I went into the eating hall and looked around for where everybody else was. I found them in the usual spot. I quickly went and got some food and then I went over to my friends.
I was surprised but delighted to see that Reimal was sitting with us. While we ate we talked and once we were done we left the building. Manny and Claire went back to the building and Katrina went to her room to talk to her sister through her mirror which left me and Reimal alone.
I offered to walk her to her room and she accepted. While we walked, I asked her "Why didn't you eat with your own team?"
Reimal looked up into the clear sky and said to me "They don't like me all that much. They're both stuck up bitches."
I laughed a little and said to her "Well even though your team members aren't your friends, just remember that my team will always be your friend."
Reimal looked up to me and said "Thank you." We made small talk the rest of the way to her building. It was at least a seven minute walk away from mine. When we got there, we saw smoke coming from the roof.
"Shit." Reimal said before using magic to carry herself up to the top. Worried that something was on fire, I went as well.
There was no fire but there were two girls about a year older than me sitting up there smoking cigars. Reimal was talking to them about her bad that they were for their lungs but the girls just ignored her and continued to smoke.
As I stood and watched their fight, I sensed magic being used and looked in the direction of the feeling and saw that a large blob of water was rising above the building. I looked over to the smoking girls and saw that one of them was controlling it with her hand which was hidden from Reimal's view.
I quickly took control of the water, much to the girl's surprise and then I moved it from above Reimal to above the girls and then I released it. Before any of the girls could catch the water it fell onto them, putting out their cigars and drenching them. A small spell kept both Reimal and I dry.
The smokers looked around for the person who had used their spell against them and they eventually found me.
"Who are you?" the blond smoker asked me.
"My name is Josh and you should really listen to Reimal." I told the girl. "Doesn't just damage the lungs, it can also kill you. Smoking is incredibly deadly."
"I'll show you deadly!" the brunette smoker yelled before screaming out brisingr and then launching a torrent of flames at me. My wards deflected the fire and sent it back at the girl, making her scream in fear before she realized that her own wards prevented her from getting hit with the fire as well.
While the girl was scared I broke into her mind and forced her to submit. The other girl also tried to attack me and again my wards bounced her attack back at her. She was smarter than her friend and didn't flinch because she knew about her wards. Her attack bounced off of the wards and flew into the air.
As the girl was preparing another spell Reimal came up to her and punched her in the face, knocking her off of her feet. While she was distracted I took control of her mind as well. I made both of the girls sleep and they both collapsed. I released their minds and turned towards Reimal. "Nice punch." I said to her.
"Thanks." Reimal said as she held her hand. I went over to her and inspected her hand using a spell.
"You punched that girl so hard you dislocated one of your fingers." I said to her. "This will hurt for a second." I said before I used my mind to push the finger back into place. Reimal gave a short cry of pain and then she flexed the once dislocated finger.
"Thanks." Reimal said to me.
"You're welcome." I said to her. Then I looked at the two unconscious girls and then I used a spell and lifted their sleeping forms high into the air. "Well, we must now report these two to the Elder Riders. They have broken several of the rules here and must now be punished. Will you please some with me?" I asked Reimal. "You are a witness to their actions and it would help if you went against them."
Reimal nodded and then we went to the main building and to the room where we could report the girls. There was an Elder Rider in the room and she was shocked to say the least to see two girls float into the room and then have me and Reimal walk in after the girls.
"What happened?" the elder demanded.
"These two attacked me and then I retaliated and took over their minds. I then put them to sleep. They shall awaken in a couple of hours." I said to the woman. The elder looked the girls over and when she noticed the growing bruise on the blond girl she looked up at me.
"Did you strike this girl?" she asked me.
"I did." Reimal said to the woman. "She was getting ready to use another spell on Josh so I punched her and then Josh took over her mind."
The elder nodded and then she touched each girl on the forehead. After a few seconds her eyes went wide. The she looked to the door and several large men and a couple Urgals rushed into the room and grabbed the girls. I released my hold on them and then they took the girls away.
"Where are they taking them?" Reimal asked the woman.
Before she could answer I told Reimal "They were Dark Riders." Reimal gasped and then the Elder Rider narrowed her eyes at me. "The girls were here undercover as riders so that they could learn our secrets."
"How do you know this?" the Elder Rider asked me.
"While I was carrying the girls here I looked through their mind." I said to the woman.
"Who gave you the authority to go through people's minds?" the elder asked me.
"Nobody, but they gave me a bad feeling, especially the blond one. So just to be safe, I checked their minds." I said to the elder.
"Hm." The elder said before leaving the room.
Reimal approached me and asked me "Were those two really Dark Riders?"
I nodded and said to her "Yes, they were. When I was looking through their minds I saw the true intent to the water spell I redirected." I said to Reimal. "They were going to drown you with it and then they were going to throw your body into the lake and say you drowned while swimming."
"It's a pretty good thing that I walked you back to your room." I said to Reimal. She walked over to me and embraced me.
"Thank you, Josh." Then she started to cry.
I wrapped my arms around the weeping girl and said to her "You're welcome, Reimal."
Please review and have a nice day.
