Chapter Fourteen: Caves and Campfires
We found the cave in less than a minute. It wasn't that hard to find anyway. Max was busy bandaging up Fang, Angel and Nudge were talking, and Gazzy and Iggy were building a fire. Within five minutes, we were all around the fire eating what was left of the canned food we packed, which just happened to be ravioli. I enjoy ravioli as much as the next kid, but it gets rather annoying when you have it almost every other day, which is how often my mother used to make it. I looked out over the lake and saw the bright lights of town. I then realized how much I missed my childhood home.
"Wow. That's beautiful," Angel murmured moving to sit next to me.
"Yeah, it is," I sighed, resting my chin in my hands.
"Do you miss it?" Angel asked me.
"Sometimes," I answered. Angel nodded in an understanding sort of way and then returned to her spot next to Nudge. Everyone had finished their raviolis by now and was sitting around the fire; I was sitting next to Iggy, and Max was sitting next to Fang. It was too early to go to sleep and the sun had set only five minutes ago.
"So, now what do we do?" Max asked breaking the silence.
"I know," Fang said, getting up and walking to the back of the cave. He returned within moments, a guitar in his hands.
"Where did you get that?!" Max asked referring to the guitar. "And how did you manage to carry it with you?"
"I've had it. As for how I got it here, let's just say that you will be amazed about how much happens behind your back, Max," Fang explained. Max looked amazed and Fang chuckled.
"Are we going to use the guitar or sit here all night telling Max what we do behind her back?" Nudge asked impatiently.
"Ok, geez," Fang muttered. He started strumming the guitar and soon after he began singing.
I don't know how to make lots of money
I got debts that I'm trying to pay
I can't buy you nice things like big diamond rings
But that don't mean much anyway
I can't give you the house you've been dreaming
If I could I would build it alone
I'd be out there all day just hammering away
To make us a place of our own
Iggy started to join in, wrapping his arm around my shoulder, and I leaned my head on his shoulder.
I will write you a song
That's how you'll know
That my love is still strong
I will write you a song
And you'll know from this song
That I just can't go on without you
I don't know that I'd make a good solider
I don't believe in being violent and cruel
I don't know how to fight but I'll draw blood tonight
If somebody tries hurting you
I will write you a song
That's how you'll know
That my love is still strong
I will write you a song
And you'll know from this song
That I just can't go on without you
Now that it's out on the table
(It's out on the table)
Both of us knew all along
(Knew all along)
I've got your lovin' and you've got my song
I don't know how to make lots of money
I don't know all the right things to do
I can't say where we'll go but the one thing I know
Is how to be a good man to you until I die that's what I'll do
I will write you a song
That's how you'll know
That my love is still strong
I will write you a song
And you'll know from this song
That I just can't go on without
I will write you a song
(I will write you a song)
That's how you'll know
That my love is still strong
(Love is still strong)
I will write you a song
And you'll know from this song
That I just can't go on without you
"Wow, guys. Did you write that?" Max asked as the sound of the guitar echoed over the lake.
"Yeah, I wrote the lyrics, Iggy wrote the music," Fang said.
"Well, we'd better get some shut eye. I'll keep watch first," Max said, changing the subject. Everyone nodded in agreement and then got up to find a place to sleep in the cave. I laid down where I was and watched the fire die. Iggy laid down next to me and pulled me closer to him.
"Night, Kate," Iggy murmured.
"Night, Ig," I replied before falling into darkness.
I forgot to say this to everyone so Happy Easter! And to those who don't celebrate Easter, Happy March 23rd! XP REVIEW!! please...
