I thought about all of the things I had to do before actually leaving. I've never been too good at goodbyes, so I guess they'll come next. I ran up the stairs to pack, to be stopped by an arm outstretched in front of my doorway. Surprise, surprise. I heard footsteps approaching and pushed him into my room.
"Vanitas…" I rolled my eyes. "Master doesn't like strangers around… you know that. You've got to be more careful." He smirked.
"Fine, fine. I just wanted to tell you one more thing before you go." He said, sitting down on my bed and taking off his mask.
I closed the door. "Sure, what?" How did he know I was going?
"Really, listen to what I say."
"Okay! I'm all ears. Just tell me already."
"That's what I was telling you." He snapped. "Don't. Talk. To. Terra. You have no idea what he'd do to you."
"I mean, I already did. He offered me to train with him," I said as I leaned against the door. "And he seems like a pretty genuine guy." I shrugged.
He rushed up to me, pinning me against the door. His arms had so much pressure on my shoulders it was nearly unbearable.
"He's not, Kori! He's not!" He said in a tense whisper. "Especially after what's going to happen." He looked around as if he said too much, and then released me. I could feel the fear in my eyes, and hoped it didn't show.
He looked back at me right in the eyes. "Trust me Kori; I'm not the one you have to be afraid of." He kissed my forehead and summoned his portal, disappearing right in front of my eyes.
I sighed softly and laid face down on my bed, sitting up only when I heard a few knocks on the door. "Come in." I said simply.
Ven hurriedly opened the door. "Hey, have you seen Terra?"
I shook my head. "Not after the meeting." This kid needs to calm down. "If you're looking for him, I'd find him quick." I looked up at the wall clock. "We're leaving in fifteen minutes."
He nodded and exited quickly. "Thanks, Kori. And good luck." My name sounded foreign coming from his lips, but I enjoyed it. It was nice to actually talk to the kid before going. He'd always looked at me like I was a creature, like I was about to go crazy at any second. Maybe it was about me joining his circle of friends. They seemed to have a bond that could never be broken.
If only it was that simple; to know who your friends are.
Wow guys! Thank you so much for all of the reads this thing is getting. Don't forget to review!
Dear loyal readers,
Thank you for reading! What would I do without you?
But, sadly I'm going on a writing/regular vacation for the next week or so. So don't forget about this and I promise I won't (:
Sincerely,
Katey.
