I'm sorry to make you wait....but here is the next chapter. PLLLLLEASE REVIEW
A Lesson about True Friends
After the tale about the mad King everyone headed to bed. Lerik and Hunter went to their room. Drake and the rest to their own rooms as well.
It was mid-night and Hunter was sleeping right next to Lerik (small house after the spider riders stayed a bit.) Hunter stared at the ceiling and sighed. He couldn't sleep. He was worried. What the hell have I dragged my friends into?!?!? he though to himself. The thought made him angry and sad. I was too much to bear. This was no ordinary war were the oracle will guide you to saftey. A tear escaped his eyes and he tried to blink it away.
Next to him Lerik felt a disturbed aura. Turning around he saw Hunter fighting back tears and wiped them away. "What's wrong kiddo?"
Hunter jumped slitly at the sudden voice and faced the older boy. "Nothing...just thinking..."
"About what?"
"My...friends...was it okay....I....do you think I should've said NO to them when they said to follow me out back home?"
Lerik sighed, "You think it would've made a difference?" Lerik got up and lit a candle. Then he went out to get water. He returned and c=gave a glass to Hunter and sipped his own. He was going to teach Hunter a lesson about the heart and mind.
The candle gave a flicker and Lerik pulled Hunter closer into a huddle (it got colder^^) and told him in a whisper to avoid waking the others. "Hunter they followed you to the outer world. Think, THINK HUNTER, why did they ASK you to let them take them with you huh? They loved you. You were their friend. A bubbly cheerful person. The cared for you like a family- as if we had done. They fought with you, suffered with you, and laughed with you. There even is a rumor a girl, no names, likes you."
Swallowing Lerik's words,blushing at the crush and liking part, he nodded in understandment. "Yes Lerik I understand....and I was leaving ever so suddenly. I can't complain can I..."
Lerik smiled, his message had somehow gotten through Hunter's thick wall of barrier head. "That's right Hunter. The past is the past and now you have friends. It is your responsibility to treat them like so, not like they are a wonderful toy that you would dump at the slitest sigh of boredom. Friends mean responsibility and that also comes with having fun and laughing day long with them.
Hunter nodded and crawled back into bed. Lerik smiled at his success. He decided to sing Hunter a song his mother use to sing.
"A little baby in his bed
from from home away from me.
A little baby sleeping in my arms.
To the wonder of my night."
Hunter dosed off in Lerik's arms. Lerik chuckled he loved having a brother. He went over what he said to Hunter and chuckled again. Those words were wise, but he'd made them up. He hadn't once thought of this. Oh well. He lifted Hunter off of him and plopped him on the bed, them crawled in himself. He looked at Hunter again, this time with jelousy. Hunter had so many friends and Lerik wanted them too.
Well that was ummm cheesy...i wanted it to be a friendship lecture:(. Oh well. I hope you enjoyed!
