Ending
"Corporal's right." Harvey said trying to think for a way to get off the train. "We have to get out of here."
"But how?" Kieli asked. "We aren't going to reach the next train station for another two hours."
"I know." Harvey said thinking.
"Kieli!" called Julius. This time it was closer than before.
"Come on." Harvey said as he grabbed Kieli's arm and pulled her down the hall. He didn't have time to think about anything right now. He just had to get Kieli away from Julius long enough to think of a plan.
Harvey ran down the hall, dragging Kieli along with him. He made sure not to go to fast, so that she could keep up, but he also made sure he didn't go slowly enough for Julius to catch up. Harvey opened the door at the end of the hallway and stepped out. The harsh wind blew their hair around forcefully, their clothes whipping around them. They had run to the end of the train, with no where to go. Harvey looked around him and realized something. There was only one way to get off this train.
"Kieli" Harvey said turning around and putting his hands on her shoulders so she would look at him. "I need you to go tell me something. Are you sure this is what you want? There is still a chance that Julius will take you back to Westerbury. You can go back and pretend none of this ever happened." Kieli stared up at him.
"No." She said calmly. "I don't want to go back. I want to go with you. I want to go with you and Corporal." Kieli watched as Harvey stared down at her, his hair blowing in front of his copper eyes.
"Alright then" Harvey said letting her go. He looked out at the tracks and thought. "Are you sure?" He asked again. "We are going to have to jump." He said taking one more look at her. She nodded.
"Are you insane? Kieli can't jump off the train! She could easily-" Corporal's voice was cut off as Harvey reached down and turned him off.
"You are going to have to trust me." Harvey said as he looked at Kieli. She was different from the first time he had meet her. Her hair had been cut shorter, and had slowly grown back. Her choice in attire was defiantly different. She no long wore her skirt, or school outfit. But there was something different about her, one that did not happen over night. She had matured over their time together. She had learned to make decisions on her own.
"I do." She said. Harvey nodded before climbing over the railing and holding on, waiting for her. Kieli made her way over to him when suddenly the door behind her opened.
"Kieli!" screamed Julius. Behind him were three church soldiers. He took in the scene and suddenly went frozen. "Kieli?" he asked. She just looked at him, unable to say anything.
"I'm sorry Julius." Kieli said. Julius looked at Harvey who was hanging onto the rail. "You said that if I got Kieli out of there, you would come to Central with me quietly." Julius said.
"Yea, well something new kind of came up."Harvey said. "Plus I kind of made a promise to someone" Harvey looked at Kieli. She smiled at him.
"I don't care about some promise you made, you are coming with me!" Julius said as he began to walk towards Harvey. Suddenly the train lurched and Harvey lost his footing.
"Harvey!"Kieli yelled. Without thinking she ran towards him and reached out her hand as she jumped off the back of the train. Harvey, seeing this, reached out his hand and grabbed her. He pulled her into his chest and held her tight as he fell towards the ground. Harvey felt a sharp pain across his back and head as they hit the fast moving ground beneath him. He got that weird feeling in his stomach as he felt himself beginning to fall again. He opened his eyes to find that he was beginning to fall down a steep hill. He pulled Kieli into him more as he started to roll down. Dirt and rocks torn at his face and clothes as he continued down the hill. He felt something cut his cheek but he ignored the pain.
Suddenly Harvey heard a large splash before finding himself subsided underwater. His grip on Kieli loosened as he realized he needed air. He let go of her with one hand, and began to swim to the surface. As he broke through, he gasped fro air.
"Kieli" he called as he pulled her to the surface. Suddenly he found himself underwater once again, Kieli holding him under. It was than he remembered Kieli was not a very good swimmer. He tried to pull her off, but she would just freak out more and push him father. "Kieli!" he called as he reached the surface again, only to be pushed under water again. He was beginning to wonder if he was going to make it when his foot hit something. Looked down Harvey suddenly felt stupid. "Kieli!" he yelled as he stood up, knocking her off of him. She began to freak out in the water. He walked over to her and grabbed her arm, pulling her up.
"Kieli calm down, you're fine." He said. Kieli looked around and found that the water only came up to her chest. She had been freaking out for no reason.
"Oh." She said looking around. The water only reached Harvey's stomach when he stood up straight.
"Great." Harvey said glaring at her. "You almost had us killed in waist high water."
"Well how was I suppose to know it was only this high!" Kieli yelled at him.
"Stand up." Harvey said. Kieli glared at him before turning her back towards him. He didn't have to be such a jerk. Kieli thought to herself. Then she remembered something.
"Corporal!" she yelled pulling the radio up from out of the water. She began to play with the dials, but nothing happened. "Harvey I think something's wrong with Corporal!" she yelled turning back towards him.
"Oh now you want to talk to me?" Harvey asked in a sarcastic tone. Kieli glared at him, causing him to sigh to himself. "He will be fine. He is probably just full of water."
"Well fix him." She said.
"I will once we get out of this water and find a town." Harvey said making his way towards land. Kieli quickly followed him, pushing through the water.
"Harvey?" Kieli said after some time. They had been walking in silence for over an hour now, drenched to the bone. The sun had begun to set and the temperature around them dropped rapidly. Kieli held herself even tighter as she began to shiver. Suddenly she felt something wrap around her shoulders. She stopped and looked up at Harvey.
"I don't need you catching another cold." Harvey said as he continued on his way. Kieli looked down to find his coat around her shoulders. She quickly pushed her arms through the sleeves and ran to catch up with him. She pulled the coat closer to her and inhaled the smell of tobacco smoke that lingered.
"I'm sorry." Kieli whispered. Harvey stopped and turned towards her.
"For what?" he asked. Kieli continued to stare at the ground.
"For not listening to you and getting sick." She whispered. Harvey sighed before continuing.
"Come on; if we don't hurry we won't get to the town before dark."Kieli's head shot up.
"Okay." She said happily as she followed him down the path.
HEY~~~~ well im sad to say that this chapter is short. I seriously tried to make it longer but NOTHING WORKED! And I hate to say this but I have even worse news…..this is the last chapter (NOOOOO!) so yea….But on the good news most of you said you wanted me to continue to write this and I have made my decision…..i will continue it! (YEA!) but if that is going to happen I NEED YOU! Unlike other stories Kieli does not have a lot of options to make an exciting story. I have had people suggest that Kieli gets involved with a ghost that gets her in trouble or that they have more soldiers chase them I would prefer that its NOT the soldiers one cause that's not really creative and two cause I want to hear your suggestion! so if you people have an idea I would LOVE to hear it. ^^
Also in my last chapter I had a' _' somewhere well that was suppose to have a name. I forgot to fill that name in….so the person I was thanking was The Shadow Star.I want to thank you again for giving me the idea, I wish this could have lasted longer and I wish I hadn't put up so short chapters.
