Waking Up With Magic
Chapter 9
By: ShadowsOfTheHeart
"Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near."
Note: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho, PLAESE REVIEW!
"Why are you still here?"I stressed and pinched the bridge of my nose. I'm feeling annoyed beyond belief right now, my mother, who I might add is still in her Pj's from last night, is in my room , sitting on my bed, lags crossed and looking unimpressed with, not me, but Alistair. He's only now telling her about the little deal he made with the Mage elder. But, she doesn't need to do this in my room at six in the morning.
"It would look odd if I showed up in the boy's cabin" she said with a quick glance at me but her eyes are still clearly on Alistair. They look even greener as her anger and pissed offness deepens.
"You could have went back home then came back at, I don't know, like noon" I stressed back with a wave of my hand, after my run in with Andrew I still had to do my rounds. I didn't get to sleep till pass midnight. Then bam, mother shows up with Alistair. Lucy, who I might add is as we speak, is hid under her covers trying to pretend we're not here.
"You needed me, and as soon as I returned home I get a call from the elder asking me how Tskui and Alistair were doing. I really don't like being played as a fool, and you three idiots did just that." She moved her hand then causing Lucy blanket to fly off her "Up young lady!" mother snapped, she sounded like Sakura. It hit me then that all of us weren't being I fare to her and my dad. When this, what every this is, is over, I, no, we need to tell them everything, I'm sick of telling lies. That goes for Kurama and his family as well.
"No" Lucy answer loud and defiant, I rolled my eyes, really that girl, she's does the same thin when Sakura is made at her, hides under the covers and hope it all goes away. Child, yes, she is a child.
"Lucy, will you please get up, as much as I myself would like to be asleep, it isn't going to happen, get up and deal with this" I said and moved to her bed, I pulled myself up using the latter to the top bunk for support. "You're acting like a three year old" I needed to add that, she gets angry when you call her a child.
"I am not a three year old" she shot up and got in my face, messy hair and all. Her tank top was twisted and there were smudges of mascara from yesterday under her angry brown eyes.
"I didn't say you where, I said you're acting like one" I said it slow and tugged at her messy pigtails. "I'm going for a run, you deal with this, with them" I hooked a thumb over my shower "okay" As much as I love Lucy and all, I really hate being stuck in the middle of her and Alistair's crap.
"But" I glared at her protest; she shut her mouth and nodded. I pushed off the latter, before my feet hit the floor I spun so I was facing my mother and brother.
"Later" I said moving to the door, I grabbed my sweater of the back of the desk chair as I passed Alistair. He sent me a glare. I shrugged with a smile.
"Holly, do not do anything stupid" he was harsh, stated very clearly not to blow something up.
"Why would I?" I muttered back ignoring the looks from mother and Lucy; they didn't know what I was up to.
"Because that's what you do" he reached for my glasses case and took it in his hand "Take these, and drink some water" he added with a look, he knew I had a headache, he called me on it when Mother appeared with him. Right away he said it was because I hadn't been wearing my glasses since I got here, hey, I don't like wearing them when I have to do lots of running and outdoors stuff, less change I'll brake them.
His probably right, but it's the lake of sleep, Andrew showing up, and Kurama leaving.
I'm stressed out.
"I'm fine" I took my glasses case form him and put it in my sweater "Goodbye" I stressed and ran out the door before Lucy or mother could ask anything questions. I made it out side well enough, the air is nice and fresh and it's already warm. "It going to be a hot one" I muttered to myself and pulled out my glasses case. It shimmer blue in the morning sun, my dad got me this case when he was in Russia about four years ago. He was there for about three months, I don't know why, but that's was the way it use to be before we came to Japan. He would get a call and leave. I would never know where he went until after he came back, he always, take me in a hug and tell him how sorry he was for having to leave, and then came his most famous line hey kido, I got you something. I could never stay mad at him once he got home. He always got at least a month to two months off and it was like he was never gone, he would spend as much time as he could with me, just in case he had to leave again.
Its makes me wonder now, how did my really parents meet? He would just tell me they met at a book store, she was trying to reach a book that was over her head, he got it for her and like they say it was history from there.
But, now that I have met my mother, she's only about an inch shorter then him. So that story doesn't fit anymore.
I pulled out my cell phone and flipped it open; the clocks bright green numbers shimmered at me telling its 6:20, briefest is at 7:30 I got over an hour to kill. I glance back at my cabin, I don't know how long they're going to be and I want to shower. I sighed and closed my phone, I had a sudden urge to call my dad, but, I can't.
I wonder if he's actually in...
"Jones-san? Fancy seeing you up this early" I twitched, Kimura-san stood in front of me, he was his teams shorts and tee, white of course. His hair was a mess, damp and his face was flushed.
"Out for a run?" I asked and opened my glasses case acting like I didn't care he was alive, well there really wasn't much acting to it, he gives me the creeps.
"Always" he answered walking towards me; I placed my glasses on and closed my glassed case with an annoying thud. He stopped getting get reaction. "I take it you're not in a good mood today?" he asked in a soft voice trying to make me open up to him. Bah.
"Yes, I have things to do" I said and walked passed him, he caught my arm, his hand is warm on my skin, storm, element fire, level B, It was a flash, the words passed so fast across my ears, I tugged away not liking the feeling I'm getting from him but his grip was strong I glared up at him. "Let go" There's no way he's a mage too, Hojo would have told me, heck Alistair would have warned me.
"If it's about what happen yesterday, if you want I can..."
"She said let go" Hojo's voice angry and loud, Kimura tensed and let me go. Heat lingered on my arm, I quickly moved away from him. I glanced at Hojo I could see his aura, blue like mist surrounded him, angry.
"She was upset I was just..."
"Doesn't matter, if she wanted to talk she would have" he moved towards me, placing himself between me and Kimura. "Go back and shower, you shouldn't be here in the first place."
"It wasn't what I..."
"I said go!" Kimura jumped and was gone without anther protest, not before shooting me a look of guilt. He ran, back the way he came, Hojo was quick then as he spun around to face me, his anger fading. "You okay?"
"Yeah, he just annoys me" I answered watching the anger fad from his eyes. "I thought that giving him the cold shoulder would drive him off, but" I stopped; a cold powerful chill ran down the back of my spine. Wind element air, cold dark power, locked away, dangerous.
"Holly are you..."
"Hinote-kun, Holly-chan good morning, are you two heading over for the early briefest?" I didn't need to turn around to know it was Maria that spoke. I bit my tong, every part of my body wanted to lash out at her, blow her away, just, get rid of her.
"No, I came to speak with Lucy, our mother called lasted night and didn't get a chance to talk with her" He answered in truth, Lucy was too busy with me after we came back, it took a lot to get me to fall asleep.
I met Hojo's eyes hoping he would see the distress in them, I needed an out.
"Oh, Holly-chan are you.."
"She was going for a run when I got here, I was asking her if my sister was up, she tends to sleep in sometimes" he covered for me hoping she would go away, but to my horror she moved closer. The sound of her flip flops on the graver grew loud at each step, and my urge to turn around and blast her into the next century grew even stronger. Hojo must have seen my distress because he stepped around me.
"Maria you busy? Lucy probably isn't up yet and I have some questions about today's group run" that stopped her dead. This's the moment she has been waiting for, there's no way in hell she's going to pass this up.
"I.. I, no I was just out for a walk" she stopped as to think ,but I could feel her smug happy grin "Of course we can talk about the run, I was telling Claudine yesterday that the trail by the river would be perfect"
I heard Hojo moved towards her "Yes, lets walk, Holly tell Lucy I came to see her"
"Yes, and tell her I stopped by as well" she said happy, sickening happy.
"Sure will" I whispered out, like hell I will, you stupid cow. I took in a breath, I need to calm down.
"Did you hear me Holly-chan?" Maria called out to me like I was a child,
Anger, pure angry surged through me "Are you fucking kidding me!" I spun around, my stomach jumped, my powers burned under my skin. Maria stood there shocked, scared, but fake, it was all fake. I can see it in her gray eyes. She's excited by my anger, smug and grinning on the inside to get a rise out of me. That, stupid, brain scrambling idiot "You..you.."
"Holly you're out of time" I jerked at his voice, strong and harsh, clear and powerful, it cleared my anger and let the air out of my lungs. "You need to get ready for practice"
"Alistair what are you doing in the girls cabin" Maria stressed feeling left out, angry that they were around me not her. "It's not.."
"Oh shut up!" I snapped "He's my cousin, my aunt called this morning he came to relay a massage to me about my dad, that's probably why Hojo came over. He's due back in a few months, he's probably asking what we want him to bring back. Back the hell off!" I spun around and stormed towards the door, when I reached Alistair I stopped and turned back around. "And one more thing" I pointed at her "Use that tone again with me and you won't be ginning like an idiot next time."
The look on her face, pure shock and horror she didn't think I knew about her, about her ugliness underneath her pretty mask.
"Don't speak to me, ever" I added and went back into my cabin; I took a breath and ignored the harshness in my brothers voice as he called after me and Hojo apologies for my rudeness again. I reached my door; I stopped and took a deep breath, the more she's closer to me the more I want to lash out. I don't know why, I hate it, I'm not like this.
What are my powers trying to tell me?
I pulled out my cell phone again; it was 6:45 now, no time for a run. I clicked on my favourites list, Kurama's name was at the top. I clicked on it and pressed the phone to me ear. I needed to hear his voice, I needed him to clam me down. Even if I just get voice mail I just need.
Hello my heart jumped
"Kurama?" I asked; I wanted to be sure; no I needed to be sure.
Holly, what's wrong? I can't talk for long the single varies on the time of day He was rushed and it sounded like there was running water in the background, like a river or waterfall.
I took a breath "I snapped at Maria again, Kurama, I.. are you okay?"
Take a breath Holly, tell me...
My heart stopped "Kurama?" I listen "Are you there?"
Holly..I..it...I'll..soon... the line went dead, I pulled the phone from my ear and looked at the screen, call lose, it flashed in red. I swore.
"Holly-chan is that you?" I jumped at Lucy's voice, quite and sharp. She's about as annoyed as I am, but for different reason, I wonder what mother said to them.
"Holly come in" that was mother, she's still here. I took a breath, and opened the door; Lucy was on my bed her face was cleaned now and her hair brush and in a bun. Mom, well she was still in her pj's but looking better and less annoyed then before. I walked in and closed the door behind me. I needed to tell someone, someone who knew about my powers.
I took a breath "Mom" I started and went to my desk chair; she caught my tone and her eyes chance. I sat then and told her everything.
When I was done she let out a breath and her hand came heavy on my shoulder "That girl, she probably has some evil lurking in her, as for her powers, I would have sensed other mages here. She could he a demon or half demon"
"But Kurama would have known that?" I looked up into her green eyes; she sighed and smiled at me, that motherly smile when she believes you're being silly.
"Listen, I'll head back and see what I can fine out, okay, now try and be nice to this girl, please" she knelt down to me and placed her warm hand on my cheek. "Take a breath and count backwards next time."
I sighed and leaned into her hand "I'll try"
Kurama swore at his phone and cursed the demon world. Holly sounded distressed and he was in no position to help her. "Put that contraption away fox" he snarled at his fire welding friend and stuffed his phone back into the sash of his white robes.
"Aren't you supposed to be with Mukuro?" Kurama hissed glaring daggers at the fire demon.
"I was, but your ever growing weakening voice caught my ears" Hiei flickered out of sighed and appeared again in front of Kurama, smug looking, arms crossed over his chest ready to prove his point. "I knew you were acting different the last time we met. You have yourself a human woman; your attachment to the human word sickens me"
"Your lack of emotion sickens me" Kurama snapped back in a snarl.
"Careful fox, those emotions will get you killed" he uncrossed his arms showing the two tear gems that resting on at his neck line.
"Don't lecture me" he cursed "Go back, I have..."
"Training, go back to it then, your woman should be safe in the human realm. Leave he pity problems to her human friends.."
"You know nothing!" Kurama snapped flickering out of sight, in mar seconds he held Hiei by the called strong and angry "She isn't just some human!"
"Huh, looks like you haven't lose all yourself" he pushed off Kurama and flickered out of sight "I came to warn you, there is an evil power lurking in the human realm, I've only heard bits and pieces but it's looking for void, whatever that means" he flickered away then leaving Kurama to think.
"Holly" he whispered taking out his phone again, no signal, and he couldn't leave the demon world until Koenma came to get him in 12 days.
This day hasn't gotten any better, drills, lots of drills, more then I needed, dinner sucked again, and now I was on a jolly run up a mountain. It's a good thing I'm not scared of heights, but the river that ran next to the trail, well that made me nervous. Every now and then there will be a drop off into a pool of water. Lucy, who I get to run with today, stops every so often and looks down at the water, teasing me about jumping.
I did think of pushing her a few times, but I can't swim, so if she hits her head on the way down I can't help her. Demon and crazy mages don't scare me, but water, can't get me near it. "Holly-chan just keep looking forward, we're almost there" she said pointing to the top of the hill.
I took in a breath and pushed the sound of running water out of my head, it's not like I was going to get thrown off the trail and fall in. That's just crazy.
But my stomach has been in knots since Maris said we were taking this trail.
She's doesn't know I'm scared of water, at least I don't think. This would be proper pay back for me acting like a bitch to her, but still.
I can't help it.
I took in a deep breath as we came to the top of the hill, rushing water caught my ears. "We're.."
"At the top of the water fall, go on have a look, it isn't a big one, 10, 15 feet at most." Maria smiled at me, evil, curl.
Yup, she knew
Bitch.
"I'll pass" I stated and went for the pick nick table. Alistair and Hojo and a few more were already here. Alistair tossed me a bottle of water; I caught it with ease and quickly opened it.
"You okay?" Hojo asked lowly with a glance around.
"Yeah" I muttered taking the water bottle to my lips; the water was so good, smooth and just amazing. I took a few gulps.
"We can't leave until everyone gets here" I heard Alistair say, he was annoyed, and rightfully so. I'm pretty sure all he has been hearing since we left, has been my consent rambling on how I was going to somehow fall off the trail and drown. It's hard to keep control when you're freaked out.
I took the water bottle from my lips "Holly-chan come here" Lucy called; I glanced at her, she was standing next to Maria with a sheet in her hand. Damn, I forgot to sign my name. It was to make sure we all showed up. But what I don't like, Maria is standing mightily close to the waterfall edge.
"Can't you come over here" Alistair called hearing my thoughts.
"Would like to, but I need to able to see the trail" Maria called back
"Then get Lucy to bring the paper over" He called back
"Can't what if people show up" she stressed with a head shake. I swore, she wasn't going to move.
"Fine" stupid bitch, I placed my water bottle on the table and got up. As much as my head is screaming at me to not to go over there, I can't look like a fool in front of everyone, I don't have very many cool points and I can't afford to lose the ones I have.
"You don't have..."
I cut Hojo off what my hand "It's okay" I whispered and walked away from them forcing one lag in front of the other, I feel like a robot. It felt like it took forever for me to get over to them.
"Okay give me the paper" I stressed trying not to look or listen to the rushing water.
"Holly-chan step over here" Lucy stated taking my arm so my back was to the edge. "This way you don't have to see it" she whispered while Maria handed me her clip board.
I looked passed her smiling face and annoyed eyes, I needed to bit my tong around her. I grabbed the side of the purple clip board, careful so I wouldn't have to touch her. I really didn't need any more visions or whisper telling me she has evil magic. "Yeah" I stressed signing next to my name "here" I stressed handing back the clip board.
"Thank you Holly-chan" she gave me a evil look, sharp and thoughtful, that's when it hit me, I hadn't notice before, but while I was signing she was moving me closer to the edge, out of reflex when some moved closer I move back. The rushing water, it's so much louder now; how could I not notice before. My stomach turned with fear. I don't have time to get out of the way.
"You.." I didn't get the words out, all air that was in my lungs rush out of me, my feet flew out from under me. I could see the horror in Lucy's eyes, she ran for me, reach out. Sharp pain flooded though me as I flew back over the edge.
Shit, Shit, Shit
Air rushed around me, I heard Lucy call my name, her voice disappeared as cold water surrounded me, hut me, panic. Blurry vision, the water clasped me, trapped me, and pulled me down. I reach, my arms heavy, I can't get a hold of anything, I can't pull myself up, I can't breathe.
Horror filled Lucy eyes as she watched Holly fly back over the edge, "Holly!" she screamed and ran for her knowing her step-sister was in danger. Lucy reached out for her, hoping she would get her hand in time. Pure horror shocked her system when her sister's hand fell away from hers. "HOLLY!" she screamed her voice cracking.
"Don't worry she'll just hit the water" she heard Maria say smooth and unaffected. Lucy didn't listen as she yelled out her step-sisters name again, and again. She dropped to her knees hard not caring about the pain or blood. She searched the pool of cold water, Holly was nowhere to be see, she cried out and whipped her head around to Maria "She's doesn't know how to swim!" anger laced her words. Maria flinched at the tone she has never heard from Lucy and watch as she stripped off her shirt, but before Lucy could finish two bodies flew passed her. "Hojo, Alistair" she whispered watching them disappear into the water.
I can see the sun fading through the water surface; I struggled to get to the surface. It wasn't working; my lungs are burning. Tired, I'm so tired, my arms feel like led. I can't keep this up, I need to air. I needed to get out of here, I can't; I don't know what to do. Pain, so much pain, I can't, it's can't end like this.
Kurama, I.. I..
The sun disappeared as bubbles pushed down into the water, my arms got grabbed and just when I thought my lungs were going to burst I was pushed above the water. I gasped and sucked in the warm air. I coughed and reached out for something, anything to hold on to.
"Holly calm down, it's me" I heard Alistair say, steady arms where around my waist, I could feel his feet kicking back and forth keeping us above water. I stopped struggling and took in air; out of reflex I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Breath Holly, breath" he whispered and moved.
Panic again, the movement, it's too much.
"Breath" He whispered again "It's okay.."
"I'm behind you, you're not going to fall" Hojo soothed me, he was here too, both of them, my brothers, they where here, I'm going to be okay.
"Get me out of here"
"I'm okay" I stressed pushing Alistair away; he has been checking me over like a two year old since we got out of the water. The trail was up a small hill and he was worry I had hit my head when I fell. Yeah right, that stupid bitch, when I get my hands on her I'm going to..
"Holly, there's blood on your arm" Hojo cut my thoughts off with his big hand taking mine and pulled my back.
"Hey" I stressed and tried to pull away, he's way to strong sometimes, but not as strong as Kurama. He's going to flip.
"He's right Holly" Alistair defended taking my other hand "Here, sit down, you almost drowned, you need..."
Angry flash thought me "I need to get back up there and beat that stupid..."
"Holly sit!" Alistair took my shoulders and pushed me down on an over turned log. "Arm" her ordered and took my arm before I could protest anymore. I sighed and let him check it over.
"Do you believe me now?" I asked turning my head to Hojo; he was so close to me now. His eyes, I never notice the gold specks in them. They shimmered almost amber in the bright sun, so this was what Hollybella was saying when she went on about how unique his eyes where. My question went unanswered though, he was searching my eyes for something, what, I don't know. I flicked, burning pain shot thought my arm.
"You're going to need stitches" Alistair said, I glanced back him as he ripped the bottom of his shirt. I took in a breath and ignored the pain.
"Answer my question; do you believe me now, about Maria and her magic?" I winched again, damn he isn't genital at all.
"Yes" Hojo said "It was hard to sense at first but that knock back spell defiantly came from her" he took his hand from mind and stood up, I knew now why Alistair didn't answer, he was pissed, pissed because he hadn't sensed it before. I glanced at him again as he worked on my arm. I can see the anger just fuming off him.
"What are we going to do? Can I blow her up now?" I asked with hope; I really want to destroy her. Wow Holly, back up, where the hell did that come from. As much as I don't like her that's going too far.
"Yes it was" Alistair stated, he can't seem to get that fact that replying to my thoughts out loud is creepy. I held in my anger at him, because he was right.
"I can't help it" I winched again; I think he did that one on purpose.
"I know, sorry we didn't act sooner" he muttered it, he really doesn't like saying sorry to often.
"Me too" Hojo cut in with a hand run thought his wet hair. "We need to find out what she wants" he added looking back towards the hill, the sounds of running and yelling caught my ears. Our classmates and teachers were on their way. I pushed the sounds away while Alistair gave on last wrap of my arm. I took a breath as he tied it off.
"Hojo" I said, his eyes met mine and he knew the tone I used, he didn't need to tell me to go on "She's wants you"
It took a while for Hojo to understand what I said, he was giving me that, are you shitting me look. Boys they're so dumb when it comes to this stuff. Not surprising since Hojo and being interested in girls have never come up in the same sentence before.
Makes me wonder if he's gay.
"How do you know this?" he asked walking towards me, the yells form our respective teams mats are getting louder, they'll find us soon. God help the twit if she's there.
I took in a breath, I need to get my mind off the burning in my arm and the fact I almost drown, whoever said it was a peaceful way to go has obviously never been trapped underwater before. Idiots, "I can see it, I'm pretty sure everyone does, well except for Lucy who believes that everyone has some good in them. It amazes me sometimes how different you two can be."
Hojo was still giving me that WTF look; I think he's in denial. "How can you see it?" he asked while he took a knee in front of me. His eyes showed me confusion and hidden anger. It's like he's connecting hidden dots that I don't know about, he's scared about something, about someone.
"Holly eyes" Alistair hissed causing me to jump out of my thoughts, my eyes snapped to his. I did it again. Damn it.
"Sorry" I muttered before looking back as Hojo "My powers let me see things others can't, it's almost like I can read people's emotions and just somehow piece it all together"
I saw when it clicked in his head "So Maria, you can..."
"Holly!" Lucy's voice bellowed out, Hojo jumped up fast, turning to face his sister. I had to lean to see her quick yet skilfully hop down over the hill. I know she was using her magic, but I can't feel it or smell it. I wonder, I glanced at Alistair seeing if he caught my thoughts. Nothing, he was too busy watching Lucy.
Typical he's never listening when I want him to.
Lucy ran over to me and pushed Hojo out of the way, he let her knowing how worried she was. Her hands went to my face
Warm and shaky hands.
"Lucy I'm..."
"Don't even start" she stressed running her hands down my cheeks, around my neck, down my shoulders. I winched when she brushed my injured arm. She took her hands away and glanced over her shoulder. I followed her gaze, more of our team mates are coming do the hill, including Maria. Lucy felt it; she must have for that scual she's got on her face right now, all of it directed at Maria.
"Hinote-sempia are okay?" Kimura asked trying not to look my way, back to sempia Hojo must have been very pissed at him this morning.
"Fine" he took in a breath "Holly fell over the cliff, we need to get her back to camp and check out by the nurse" Kimura chose then to look at me, my arm, and the pissed off Lucy. Guilt fluttered across his face for a second and I'm sure I caught something change in his eyes. It's was like they swirled, creepy.
"I can carry her if you..."
Anger "Don't even" I snapped getting up "I nicked my arm on the way down, I'm not dead, nothing broken and my head is find, I'm walking myself, so..." Lucy's arms went around me cutting me off, she's I think crying.
I sighed and relaxed "I'm okay Lucy"
"I know, I'm sorry I ..."
"It's okay, let's just go" I pushed her back and smiled "I'm okay"
"Alistair can you take Holly back" Claudine asked as she made one last jump to the bottom. "Hojo you go too, you all took a bad fall" she added with a heated hate filled glance at Maria. I have never seen Claudine so pissed before, but how would she know about Maria?
"I'm going too" Lucy piped up
"No I need you here, there are still people not back from the run, we might have to go looking so" she hooked her thumb back up the hill. "Common let's get Holly up out of here"
"How's the arm?" Lucy's asked as she entered our room. I gotten back an hour ago, spent 20 minutes of that getting sever stitches in my left forearm. After Alistair carried me back because of T3's the nurse gave me, I had a bath, much safer then standing up and good old brother ever left until I was out and dressed. He was scared I was going to fall asleep in there and drown for real.
Lucy well she looks like crap, her hair is a mess of light brown curls; her whit tank is dirty with mud and is that "Blood, Lucy what the hell happened to you?"
"I fell" she answered blowing me off. Like hell she fell, she must have used her magic to heal because there no bruises on her face, but her clothes are ruined.
"Don't lie to me" I stressed, well I tried to but tying to sound serious when your doped up, is like a drunk person tying to walk straight.
Stupid, hilarious and pointless.
"You need to sleep, you should see your eyes" she laughed at me and sat next to me on the bed. I noticed how she sat at the edge of bed careful not to be directly under the top bunk. Well at least her fear hasn't almost killed her in the last 24 hours.
"You fought with Maria didn't you?" I asked watching her eyes, she sucks at lying especially to me.
Lucy shifted "Not with her"
I raised an eye brow at her, it wasn't Hojo or Alistair because they were with me "Who?"
"Andrew" she let out a strong breath
I blinkered a few times, she just said "Andrew? Why would you, ah damn it all" Andrew probably saw what happened, thus leading him to attach Maria and Lucy "Why did you stop him?"
She shot me a look, hard and angry, she still doesn't believe Maria is evil. What the hell did that girl say to her while I was away? "Lucy don't even, you've had to have felt her power, you where right next to me"
"It was Andrew who pushed you" she stressed with anger I just blinked at her, confused. How in god's name?
"I wasn't push I was hurled through the air by magic, I know magic Lucy I'm void remember, and I dough Andrew could have run passed Alistair or Hojo unnoticed. What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Holly you..."
"Tskui don't you even say I don't what I'm talking about! Give me your hand" she pulled away for me scared
"Tskui!" I jumped because Alistair appeared and pulled her off my bed and threw her at the door.
"What the hell?" I snapped, he whirled around to face me. Eyes wiped and cold, like the man I first met.
"Alistair?" I question getting nothing from him.
"Run" I heard form far away, like the wind it danced in my head strong and cold. "RUN!"
I bolted straight up in my bed, shaking and cold. What the hell was that? "Holly?" I heard a groggy Lucy ask as her head appeared over the side of her bed. "You okay? Is your arm bothering you?"
I just looked at her confused like, "What, why am I here?"
"You fell asleep at the nurse's cabin and Alistair brought you back here. You don't remember?" she shoved then as her head disappeared. I heard her bed creek as she came down the latter. I laid back down as those memories came to me. The nurse stitching my arm, the t3's and water and I just felt so tired from the run, and almost drowning and the lake of sleep.
"That dream, it was so real, Lucy you come back all bloody and..." I stopped when she sat on my bed, careful not to come to close, she didn't want to be under the top bunk. She placed a hand on my forehead
"It was probably just a weird dream" she whispered "Sleep now okay" her voice drifted away, calming me, relaxing me. "Sleep now" sweet jasmine flowers filled my sense and nothing.
"LUCY!" Hojo screamed seeing his sister fall away from him, trapped into ice, cold ice.
