Chapter 7
'Stop!', 'I can't walk anymore!' Clea said dropping to the ground
'We've only been walking for 10 minuets' I replied
'You try walking with an injured leg!' She snapped back.
It had been 2 days since I had rescued Clea after we both fell off the cliff. It took me a while getting her breathing again when we were out of the water. Her leg was badly injured, and so was my arm where it hit the rocks when we fell.
I sat down beside her
'I know' I said gently 'but we can't stay here, we have no idea where we are'
She ran a hand through her hair.
'I've tried sending Cal a witch message but nothing happens, its as if I've lost all my powers'
'Same here when I tried Morgan. I guess its because we're so drained from the accident.
A few minuets later Clea threw herself on her side and grabbed at the branches and fallen leaves around her. She sat up and piled them up infront of us. I gave her a confused look.
'Fire' She said simply
She took a dragon shaped lighter and cigarette paper out of her pocket
'I didn't know you smoked?' I asked shocked
'I don't, you just never know when these will come in handy.'
She lit the paper and put it in the middle of the leaves and branches, and the fire started up.
'Someone might see or smell the fire and come and find us' She explained.
That was something else we had in common, Clea and me. We were both quick minded. We tried to find a way out of a situation without panicking.
'If no-one finds us by twilight then we can start going again, but for now lets just stay here and rest'.
---------------------------------------------
We sat in silence for a while. I thought about Morgan, and how she must be feeling, I longed to talk to her , to tell her we were ok, and to tell her everything would be fine, I wanted to –
'This was never meant to happen' Clea announced glaring into the fire
'What?'
'I am so sorry Hunter, I just wanted, needed to see you and talk to you, Cal just wanted Morgan to forgive him for what he had put her through.'
'Clea I –'
'Plus I was angry that you had left me with no explanation, you didn't even break up with me before you left, then I find out……..from Cal….that you've got a new girlfriend' Her voice was rising in tones and she was starting to shout.
'I had no idea where you were. I was worried, I was Scared, you had left me when I needed you the most. For God's sake Hunter. I was carrying your child!' She turned her head to the side, her eyes where filling with tears. Clea never cries
I felt as if I had just been slapped. I couldn't believe what she was telling me.
'What?' Was all I could say. I had lost all sense of thought or speech.
'You heard full well what I said Hunter Niall' She said her voice breaking.
I couldn't believe this, I had a child.
'You don't have a child' she said reading my mind
'He died at birth' She broke down completely and started crying. All I could do was hold her and tell her that everything was OK and that I was here, and that everything would be fine.
Even though I knew it wouldn't.
