Chapter 25:
Kara's POV
I walked in frustration around the whole floor for who knows how long. If anyone had heard me yell, they were apparently avoiding me now. I think I may have saw Streak in the shadows, but I didn't care to look closely enough to find out. The stinging that was across my face didn't die down. But at least it didn't worsen.
I think I may have passed my room once, but I wasn't sure so I kept walking. Oddly enough, no white coats weren't in the halls. Weird. They weren't comparing notes or sharing gossip as usual. The halls were deserted. Either this was a 'test' or they were avoiding me. I really hope it was the second one because it meant they were afraid of me.
It took a while for me to calm down. Last time I'd exploded like that Eion was with me and it took him less than ten minutes to get me back to regular anger mood. Now, I was totally without him, at it took me more than half an hour to get more or less back to normal. At least I could actually feel my body now.
I got tired of walking around so I just decided to sit down. I slumped down against a wall and sat there, knees pulled into my chest. Eventually someone would have to walk past and help me get back to my room. I closed my eyes and sighed. I couldn't help but wonder how Max was doing and hoping she was having a way better time than I was.
Max's Pov
I was feeling horrible. I felt really bad for Caleb and how he couldn't zip ahead of us so I'd let us fly through the rain. So as you might be able to guess, I had a cold. A freaking annoying cold. Now it was going to take us even longer if we had sat out the storm. I could tell Caleb was trying not to get mad at me, he knew I was only trying to help. Besides, I was mad enough for the both of us.
Looking at Caleb, it seemed that every hour he grew more mature. He defiantly looked older and different from the first day we met. Angle was trying her best to cheer him up and so was Gazzy by singing the constipated song with him, but his eyes weren't twinkling like before.
Acho. Acho. Great, I sound like a dying cat. I hate cats.
Kara's Pov
I sat there, against the cool wall, not moving. My eyes were closed, and I kept breathing silently in and out. Something moved near me, but I didn't move. The steps got closer and closer and my paranoia got stronger and stronger and I kept wanting to open my eyes, but I didn't. I finally could stand it anymore and I had to open my eyes. In front of me stood Jinx, silent tears coming down her face. Only three of us hadn't known that Jeb had left us to die. Caleb, Karlie and Jinx were the only ones who didn't know. Well, now Jinx knew. I guess she was holding some small hope that Jeb wasn't completely evil.
I outstretched my arms and she came over and sat herself up on my lap. I wrapped my arms around her as she silently cried against my shirt. If you thought about it, we were quite an odd sight, it was really weird. I mean here we were at the Emporium, where we were practically at Death's door, and all we were doing was sitting in silence.
Only God knows how long we sat there, long enough for Jinx to doze off, that's for sure. She'd finally stopped crying, not that it did any good to my shirt, and she was sleeping peacefully as one could at Hell.
I took this time to think. My arms were aching for no apparent reason. I couldn't flex them because I was still holding onto Jinx. Sleep looked good. I closed my eyes for a sec and imagined a peaceful sleep.
Someone gently tapped me on the shoulder and I opened my eyes instantly, it was Streak. He motioned to Jinx, who was still asleep on my lap. I nodded and he gently picked her up off me and carried her to her room. I got up and stretched, my arms aching. I turned back to look back at Streak who was carrying Jinx down the hall, knowing were he was going. Lucky him. I on the other hand was still lost.
A/N: I know that this is random, especially Max's Pov, but I just wanted the day to end and end it quickly so I could start anew. James P own MR. and don't forget to review!
