I am soooo sorry for not updating sooner! I just couldn't motivate myself to write at all; it was weird. Finally I was able to convince myself because I missed getting reviews…R&R and enjoy:

"K-kimiko?" I asked into the phone, my hands shaking.

"Rai?" She said back.

"It is you!" I gasped. "Why are you calling me?"

She hesitated before continuing. "Jim wants to make a deal…"

"What kind-of deal?" I asked slowly.

"He said…" Kimiko started then stopped.

"Well?" I asked getting impatient. Ember's attitude was starting to rub-off on me.

"He said, if you tell him where you are then he'll let you go free, no string attatched." She finished.

"What?" I asked shocked.

"He'll let you go free if you tell us where Ember is." I thought about the offer. I really did. As much as I didn't want to betray her, I did seriously think about doing it.

"Rai?" Kim asked, making sure I was there.

"Raimundo!" Came a voice in the distant. Ember was done and running towards me. Crap.

"Rai?" Kimiko asked again more frantically. With out a moment to spare I slammed the phone shut and shoved it in my pocket just as Ember caught up.

"We have to go." She said quickly and yanked me off the floor. It was a pretty painful movement, but my adrenaline had spiked and I barely felt it.

"Why? What happened?" I asked as she gathered out stuff.

"Just follow me!" She commanded and started running; again. Always running…

"Where are we going?" I asked as we sped through the sandy desert.

"You'll see!" She turned around and shouted at me, but kept running.

"Why is it always, 'you'll see?' why can't you ever give me a straight answer?" I asked annoyed. I stopped dead in my tracks and pulled her arm, hard. And since I was much stronger, she stopped. "Why don't you ever give me a straight answer?" I asked again.

"Because where's the fun in that?" She said through gritted teeth. I would've come back with some witty reply, but her fiery skin was getting to me, so I let go and let it be. After about a mile of running we stopped and started walking. We had been silent the whole time, not saying a word. But I continued to follow her, wherever she was going.

I was slowly behind sullenly kicking a stone I had found. That's when she mumbled something.

"What was that?" I asked Ember.

"Where here." She answered. I looked around. We were at a small lake. Behind the lake was a tiny wooden cabin.

"Well…where is here?" I asked confused.

She turned around and faced me. Threw her arms in the air and smiled wide, "Home. Home Sweet Home!"

Hmm…pretty short and not too exciting, but I like the way this came out. REVIEW PLEASE! I'LL GIVE YOU COOKIES IF YOU DO! WHATEVER KIND YOU LIKE, I SWEAR!
