Caravan
The gypsy woman took a hold of Claire's hand
The gypsy woman took a hold of Claire's hand. Don't be shy! I'm not going to bite. Claire took more notice of her complexion, she was very tanned and her arms were filled with different styled bangles and bracelets that could have been made from many gemstones and precious metals. "Come on, it's not that far." The woman almost dragging Claire towards the caravan, while holding her fan on the opposite hand.
The "caravan" once Claire saw it was more of a double-deck bus and was quite large. "When you are driving that around, don't people get suspicious?"
"Hmmm? Why do you say that?" The woman could not rid of her cheerful tone. "The windscreen wiper area is pretty high up, so parking officers don't bother giving us tickets! Teehee isn't that funny?"
Claire made a hesitant laugh… "Yeah… it is sort of…" The woman gave Claire a little shove. "Come on it's funny… No it's because you are too young to appreciate it." The caravan "bus" was adjacent towards a red tent made of silk. "What's in that tent?" Claire asked. "Oh it's where we are keeping Adrian… You know we better separate the fighters before they go loose again. I don't have another powerful sleeping solution… So it's best not they fight anyways!"
"Anyways, we'll explain about the whole journey tomorrow. Gosh I'm tired! Aren't you Claire? I heard you were impressive from May from that battle with Aries. I should have been there! But I was too busy making sure the tent was perfect! Red silk, made from a special silkworm called the Inferno Worm. Apparently, according to Fred… Freddy, another very studious friend of mine, they form from the larva of a volcano and the silk they produce keeps warmth and is a ward against fire-based elements! Isn't that marvellous?" Claire nodded with disinterest, forcing a smile upon herself. "You're not interested? Well maybe it's because you're tired! You can see Adrian if you want, but make sure you come back in the caravan after to rest." The woman then ran towards the caravan in heels joyfully. She rushed to the door, but found it locked. "Andre, open the door!" she yelled. No answer from the door. "Andre! Open the door now!" her yells getting louder. She started ramming the door with her fists aggressively. "If someone DOESN'T open the door immediately, you'll pay!" The woman then turned to Claire, smiling at her direction. "Good night!" she said calmly, before turning back to hit and yell at the bus door. Claire looked at her for a minute. "She IS strange…" she whispered to herself. And then she entered the red tent, seeing Adrian resting there peacefully on a hospital bed. Claire wondered to her self, "Where did they get a hospital bed?" And then shook her head to deter herself from the thought. She took a chair from the corner and sat very close to him. His eyes closed and quietly breathing… He was asleep. "You better be okay… Adrian. Don't leave me. I'm scared of this journey." She then laughed to herself. "I don't think I could ever have done this without you." She rested her head on his torso and held him. "I love you," she spoke silently, then falling asleep
