Chapter 2- Companion

"I am going after Luce" Daniel said determinedly to the others. WHAT! How could he leave us here, just brooding about the fate of Luce while he is actually saving/finding her? He is not getting away with this. Before he could take a step or even a breath, I cried out "wait!" He froze and turned to face me. Just the response I needed. If I could just stall for a few minutes...

"What" He sighed.

"I want to come with you" I blurted out. Wait what was I saying? What am I getting myself into? I think about it for a few seconds and decide I am making the right decision because she is my best friend and I have to help somehow. One of my many eccentric traits is that I have to be part of the action. Up until now my life was as boring as life can get and even the first possibility of excitement and adventure is welcomed.

"Why don't you just go home and forget this ever happened" Daniel told me coldly. What's his problem? Oh right. Whoops.

"How can I forget my best friend? All the awesome times we had. She has been my best friend since primary (elementary if you're American) school and you think I can just forget her" I shouted angrily.

"Do you think you're the only one who's upset about her being gone" He demanded, highly upset.

"That's why I want to go" I told him exasperatingly.

"Fine just follow me and hold onto my shoulder, I don't have time" He muttered.

"Daniel, you can't just take this innocent girl with you, who knows what you will have to do to find Luce" Gabby scolded. Huh, innoncent! She doesn't know what Luce and I used to do back before she got sent to that torture chamber they call a refinement school. I can hold my own and she would know that if she let me do something.

"If she wants to go then I can't stop her" Daniel replied angrily. Wether he was annoyed at Gabby for scolding him like he was an ignorant child or was simply angry that I have to come, I didn't care because it means that I get to come. I couldn't resist saying the following to Gabby even though it was childish.

"So there" I told Gabby smugly.

"Let's just go already" Daniel groaned. Oh right, Luce! We have to find Luce!

"Yeah, let's do this" I said enthusiastically to Daniel. I could feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins and the urge to do something crazy or wild filled me again.

"Do you think this is a joke" Daniel demanded angrily.

"No, I know how important this is" I responded calmly.

"I hope you do" He muttered. Daniel then grabbed my shoulder and dragged me towards the black shadow thing (announcer)

"Tell my parents a cover story" I told the others, who were giving Daniel disapproving looks. They nodded silently. Before I could say or do anything else I was pulled into the announcer.
