Chapter 17
Evra and Darren were silent. "…That… that all really happened to you?" Darren asked quietly. "No. I just told it for shock value." Aimee said sarcastically/bitterly, rolling her eyes. Evra was silent. "I'm sorry…" Darren said. Evra nodded. "I'm sorry too…" he said. "I suppose you've had it the hardest… I shouldn't be complaining." Darren spoke softly. "It's alright… it's in human nature to complain anyway…" Aimee said quietly. They were all silent. "…Moving… on to a happier note…what do you say we watch some TV?" she asked, putting on a happy facade. They shrugged. "Come on… cheer up… it's the history… it's not like anything's going to come back from the past." She said. "Plus… cheer up… we have ice cream to watch TV with." She said snickering softly. She went into the kitchen portion of the trailer and pulled a rather large container of vanilla ice cream out of the freezer. "I hope you like Vanilla…" she said. They nodded, and she walked into the room with three spoons. She sat in the middle of them, and dug her spoon into the ice cream, munching away as they watched reruns of old loony toon cartoons on the television.
Proxime walked into the trailer sometime later, and walked into the living room where Aimee, Darren, and Evra all lay asleep. A container of half-melted Vanilla ice cream sat in Aimee's lap. Proxime lifted the container and took the spoons from them gently, as not to wake them. She walked away into the kitchen, she was drenched from head to toe, dripping water all over, so no one could tell the difference between what was tears and what was a rain drop. The carpet and other flooring in the house seemed to suck the water up magically. She threw the spoons in the sink, and put the ice cream back in the freezer. She closed the door and pressed her back to the door, and pinched the area between her eyes. "Why do you have to do this to me Larten?" she whispered as the tears cascaded down her face and mixed with the rain drops. She slid her hands into her hair and gripped her head tightly as if to squeeze it until it exploded. She walked through the living room, and into her room where she closed and locked the door, hoping that the blissful darkness of sleep would overtake her body and mind, drowning all thoughts of the one true lover of her life out of her head.
"What do you think that cloud looks like?" Aimee asked pointing to a misshapen cloud in the sky. "I dunno." Darren said. Evra shrugged. "I say it looks like a stabbed heart…like the actual human heart… not those freakish shape hearts." She stated. Darren sat up and yawned, then paused when he spotted a figure in the bushes. "Who's that?" he asked. Evra sat up, and observed as well. "He's a kid from a nearby village… I've seen him hanging around before." He said leaning back down. Aimee sat up and observed for a while, than lay back down. He was trying hard not to be seen, but for kids with extra sharp eye sight he was as obvious as an elephant. "Let's have some fun." Darren said. "What do you mean?" Evra asked sitting up. "I don't think I even want to know." Aimee grumbled rolling over. Darren leaned over and whispered his plan into Evra's ear. Evra got up. "I'm gonna go, okay? See ya later Evra…" Evra said standing up and walking away. "See you Evra." Darren said loudly.
"Bye Evra…" Aimee said, she yawned and lay down on her back. Darren got up and walked away as well, but once in side the camp he walked into the forest by hiding behind trucks and vans on his way, and once in he followed the boy, and crouched down behind the boy, and looked up seeing Evra who was even closer. Once crouched down, I howled much like a wolf would. The boy stiffened and looked over his shoulder. "Wh-who's there?" he asked. Evra began making noises as well so he turned and looked in Evra's direction. "Who's there?" he repeated. I snorted like a gorilla, and he turned back toward Darren. "You're just somebody playing a mean trick on me…" he said. "Ee-ee-ee!" Evra screeched. They continued their noises, causing the poor boy to look in all different directions. Darren shook a branch and Evra rattled some leaves. He didn't know whether to run or stay. Evra snuck up behind him, and extended his tongue licking the side of his neck and hissed. That was enough to get the boy to run away. They began looking for him. After a few moments of searching they stood in front of some tall grass. "I wonder where he got to…"
There was a rustling sound behind them, and then a hand pushed them into the tall grass. They sat up spluttering in shock, and heard laughing. "I got you I got you!" rang out two voices. There was a pause. Evra and Darren stood up and the boy and Aimee stood blinking at one another. Then the boy shook his head. "I saw you two coming from the beginning!" he said. Darren looked at Evra. "You look like a walking plant." He joked. "Well you look like the jolly green giant!" Evra snickered. "You both look stupid!" "Took the words from my mouth." Aimee said. Evra and Darren looked at him, their smiles faded. "I suppose you think this is funny?" Darren asked. He nodded silently. "…Well it is!" Darren said breaking into uncontrollable laughter. "Darren you jerk! You almost scared him!" Aimee said stifling a snicker. They all burst into laughter. When it died down, he held his hands out to both Evra and Darren.
"My name's Sam Grest, nice to meetcha." He said. Evra and Darren took his hands and shook them. "Evra Von." "Darren Shan." He turned to Aimee and held out his hand. "Sam Grest." He said. She shook it. "Aimee Stan." "Looks like this is friend three." Darren said, smiling. And Sam did become their friend, but they had no idea they'd be regretting even hearing the name.
