Chapter 6

We continued to walk though tired and extremely bored. After about an hour of this Mana suddenly perked up and yelped "EVA!!!!"I followed her pointing finger and found a lump sitting not to far ahead of us.

Mana broke into a dead run as I groaned and just walked over. For a few seconds I thought Mana glomped eva but soon learned differently. As I got closer I saw that Mana was sitting on Eva's stomach glaring at her while Eva cracked up. This proved even more confusing.

"What the hell are you doing to her?" I asked as I sprinted the last distance. Mana looked up at me and pointed to Eva's arm. I followed her finger and looked down at the still laughing eva's right arm. I jerked from the sight and told Mana to get off of her.

"Why?" She asked.

"Do really think you sitting on her and yelling at her is going to do anything?" I asked. There was a moment pause before mana got up. Eva stuck out her tounge and sat up. She purred and licked the inside of her arm. I reached down and picked up her sword. Blood tainted the very tip of it. I thought for a short bit.

"Was this the original reason you ran off?" I asked.

"No actually it wasn't, I was burning energy then I kind of slipped and fell...then I my sword bounced free and.." She shrugged and went back to cleaning the wound. I rose an eyebrow before sticking the sword in the ground.

I looked up at the sky. "lets stop for a while..." Everyone slowly nodded. I looked down at Eva. "Why are you so happy about this?"

"I'm not...I just want a little action... I figured this would stir yall up.. it worked in short"

I snorted and grabbed the back of her cloak and pulled on it, making her stand. Once standing she turned and grabbing my arm sunk her teach into it. I yelped and tried to pull my arm away. She just clamped down tighter. I started to panic, she was going to break my arm with her teeth...

So I stood and gritted my teach till I felt pressure start to relive itself. As her teach exited my flesh I let out a gasp as I realized how far she went in, and at the sensation of the cool air on the wound. Mana looked between both of us before she turned on her heal and hit Eva.

Eva glared at Mana and turning on her heal walked off. I stared in disbelief. Mana moved to my arm to investigate. I smiled slightly. She put just a finger on the wound lightly and I yelped. Blood still seeped from it, turning my arm and the grass below it, red.

"deep" Mana breathed.

"How..did she get that far down?" I hissed. Mana shrugged. "God that hurts"

"Understandable." I nodded.

"So what about Eva?" I asked.

"Let her go" Mana spat. I shut up.

Tears streamed down my face as I ran. Finally out of energy I feel to my hands and knees.Growling at the grass which had done nothing to me, I stood. My sword was still back with Mana and Sereg. They were going to stay there so I had to wait till night time to go back.

In the mean time I cleaned my cut and bandaged it.. for once. Staring at the setting sun from atop a tree, I watched as birds flew freely. The sky was so colorfull and the world around me was peacefull. Letting out a content sigh I leaned back against the trunk of the tree and dozed off under the peacefull light from the sun.

I woke up when it was dark. Not sure what time it was I started back towards where I left, picking my way through the night, being as quiet as possible. It wasn't long till I saw the small embers of a fire that was left to burn.

Sneaking up I found my sword and pulled it out of the ground. Seeing the dirt that clung to it I softly growled before taking the end of my shirt to clean it. A hand suddenly was placed over my mouth. I let out a small eep and was about to bite the hand when Seregs voice floated into my ear.

"Please don't bite me again" I ducked out from under his arm. "Come back for the sword?" He asked softly pointing to the blade in my hands. I caught a sight of his arm. Tightly bound, blood still stained whatever was bandaging his arm.

Tears welled in my eyes and dropping the sword I leapt forward and hugged him, burring my face in his chest. "I'm sorry!" I cried. "I really didn't mean to hurt you, but I have been choked once before and its ju-"He cut me off.

"Shh" He whispered. "What's done is done, I don't need an excuse to forgive you..." I hugged him even tighter and let my sobs be muffled by his shirt.

We moved out of hearing range from Mana so we wouldn't wake her. There we sat and talked. "ok that hurts.. ow.. OW!" Sereg yelped. I snickered as he glared at me. I continued to examine the wound I had made. I turned his arm over, completely fascinated.

"I cant believe I did that much damage!" I said in shock. "I mean I must have gone in like ½ and inch on the bottom and the top!"

"Yeah I know..." Sereg growled. I smiled.

"yeah.. I am sorry, I just.." With a glare from Sereg I stopped. "Sorry!" I eeped and slapped a hand over my mouth before smiling.

"will you stop apologizing?" He asked.

"sorry" I said pulling my hand away from my mouth. He glared at me again. "Well I am apologizing for not stopping to apologize...wait.."

"that makes no sense.." Sereg sighed. A pause stilled the air around us. "So are you planning on staying?" He asked. I hung my head, picking at leaves.

"Probably not.." I said avoiding looking up.

"why?"

"Why should I stay? Mana's not going to forgive me so easily.. shes going to demand a reason, and the one I have won't be enough...she will forgive me eventually, or just forget, I will leave until then.. we are all heading to the same place, maybe we will meet up again.. she is my sister.. I always know where she is... when I feel its safe.. I will return.." I said quietly getting up.

"How long do you think that will be?" He asked, sadness along with worry apparent in his voice.

"Months at the least.. for a week she will be too busy thinking I am just a tad bit in front of yall or behind yall... after a month she might start to worry.. we shall see.." I said picking up my sword and sheathing it.

"So.. this is goodbye for a time.." Sereg commented as he stood. I nodded slowly. He pulled me into a hug. "Good luck, and dong kill yourself..." I snorted.

Pulling out of his arms I smiled. "you too" With that I turned my back and walked off, not to be seen again for a long time.

-

Slowly I went back to camp and sat up against a tree. "Farewell Eva" I whispered before closing my eyes and drifting off into the deep sleep that threatened. (a/n: what? He was up all night waiting for Eva to come ;; )

I woke up the next morning to a hard thwack over the head. I shot up looking around wildly. Mana glared at me and pointed at my arm. I inwardly gasped as I realized I had forgotten to re-bandage it.
