Chapter 6:
The group set out at the break of dawn the next morning. Each of them had a pack of supplies that they
might need. As they walked Sonia noticed that kai was unusually quiet. Well she was always a bit on the
quiet side ( come on her dad is Trowa for crying out loud! ) but dead silent wasn't like Kai at all.
" Are you ok ?" Sonia asked walking up along side of Kai.
" Why do you care? " Kai growled walking faster.
" Kai tell me what's wrong! " Sonia demanded.
" BITE ME !" Kai snapped in return.
" Kaidel what the hell is your problem ?!" Sonia snapped back.
" Why the hell do you care Princess? Why don't you and Valmar go pick out names for your kids!" Kai
growled running up to the front of the group where Kellen was walking.
" WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SUPOSED TO MEAN MISS BIG TOUGH MERCENARY? ARE YOU
JEALOUS? " Sonia yelled causing several flocks of birds to go flying out of some near by trees.
" JEALOUS?! OF YOUR SCRAWNY ASS?! AS IF! WHY WOULD I WANT TO MARRY ANYONE WHEN I
HAVE A LIFE UNLIKE SOME ONE ELSE I KNOW! GO AHEAD AND DO WHAT YOU PLEASE YOU
ARROGANT LITTLE BITCH ! SEE IF I GIVE A DAMN! " Kai roared turning around and glaring death at
Sonia, as though she were daring her to speak. She then stalked off leaving Sonia standing alone and
looking both stunned and hurt at the same time. Valmar then walked up along side Sonia and put a hand
on her sholder in an effort to make her move.
" What was that all about? " he asked as they walked.
" That fucking, arrogant, prideful, bitch...she's so full of herself. She'd never admit she was wrong..." Sonia
growled glaring at Kai's back. Kai and Kellen were talking in whispers ahead of them.
" Sonia?"
" Huh? Oh sorry...we um, well..."
" Were shouting about something. And Kai seems to have won that argument."
" Shut up! I don't ever want to hear that name again!" Sonia snapped.
" I think your going about this the wrong way, Sonia."
" What's that suposed to mean?" Sonia snapped now glaring a Valmar.
" All I'm saying is that ... never mind." Valmar started but he trailed off.
" What?"
" Nothing...It's just I got the same response from both Kai and Kellen this mornig before we left. Except Kai
threatened to rip my heart out and toss it into a raging fire if I ever talked to her again. And Kellen just
glared at me and walked away. I'm guessing that Kai is a phyromaniac."
" What did I tell you about- a phyromaniac? That's and under statement, when we were younger she would
have illegal fireworks stashed in her attic. If she could blow something up she would be in a good mood,
but -hey! I know what your doing! Your trying to play peace maker aren't you?!" Sonia said glaring at
Valmar again. He shook his head, " Well I tried... but think carefully about what's happening Sonia. I know
how you feel for Kellen and I feel the same way about Kai -"
" How'd you know!"
" It's obvious. No offence but you and I make better friends than partners."
" Yeah your right... but what about the engagement?" Sonia asked.
" We'll have to talk to them. My father is a bit thick headed but he'll know true love when he sees it...I hope."
The day went by slowly. It was a four day journey to the estimated location of where the herb might be, and
it would be a four day journey back if the weather held up. They stopped for the night in a small meadow at
the edge of a forest. Kai had set up her stuff out side the fire light and sat there looking up at the stars.
She had almost slipped off to sleep when a small terrified sounding voice brought her back to reality.
" Um...Kai...can I uh...talk to you for a second?" Sonia asked cautiously.
" What do you want?" Kai snapped with her eyes shut.
" I-I'm not g-going to marry Valmar." Sonia muttered.
" WHAT?!" Kai nearly shouted.
" I'm not going to marry Valmar. Even if I have to kill myself !" Sonia cried disolving into tears.
" Huh? But you have to the King said-" Kai said opening her eyes slightly.
" Fuck that! I only care if grandpa lives, but I refuse to marry Valmar. I-I-I love Kellen. And I just can't do
it, I just can't !" Sonia said nearly sobbing.
" Huh? Hang on, let's get one thing strainght, I honestly couldn't understand you but... You love Kellen? but
you've only know him a few days. And are you serious?" Kai asked opening her eyes completely now.
" Yes I am, and I think you owe me and appology."
" Come again?"
" An appology...ya know that thing where one person says sorry to the other."
" I guess I was a bit harsh earlier..."
" A BIT?!"
" Ok really harsh...but you could have-"
" JUST SAY IT KAI! "
" Ok I'm sorry..."
" What? I couldn't hear you ."
" I'M SORRY! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!"
" Yes."
