Chapter 6: beautiful liar
"So this is where you work? You remind me of some creepy hermit you know that," I told Lucas while I walked in the place he was currently staying in. Apparently Lucas didn't live with these people all the time. Amy had told me that he usually lives in the jungle on his own. He's crazy. Why would he do that? I mean here he has some form of comfort and out there he has to sleep in caves and on the ground.
How can he live like that?
He had taken me with him while he went on another one of his walks. We went back to the cliff where I had seen the Brachiosaurus. In the valley we had seen another type of dinosaur. It looked like the one that attacked me on my first day here. Apparently they're called Accereptor, also known as Slashers. Lucas had been attacked once by one. It had left two scares on his skull. I had been curious about how he had gotten those scars. That must have been very painful.
"I'll take that as a compliment," Lucas answered and sat down behind his table. The walls of his tent were covered in papers with math stuff written on them. It was pure gibberish to me. How can he be into all this stuff. Math is so boring if you ask me: "So I guess these are you equations? God you're such a nerd."
"Yeah, I guess you can say that," Lucas seemed to be distracted by something more important. He was looking at some sort of screen. It had blue symbols written on it. I wonder what they mean. This guy is just so weird. He seemed to be so occupied with his work that he forgot I was standing behind him. He was writing something down, his lips slightly parted. He's kind of cute while he worked. His green eyes were scanning the screen and he would place his hand to his lip whenever he seemed to be thinking.
It didn't seem like Lucas was going to pay any attention to me. What's the point of bringing me here then? I started walking around in his tent. The papers were all covered in symbols and I could feel a headache rise up. Ugh, I really hate math. My teacher from last year was such a bitch! She was just out to get me. Whenever I needed help she would ignore me, but when someone else needed her she would practically throw herself at them.
Stupid bitch!
A blue box caught my attention. It had a weird shape. Lucas was still too worked up in his work, so I picked the box up. Are you even sure this is a box Lexie? It doesn't seem to have an opening or something. Maybe you need to say some weird spell to open it. Oh god, this isn't Harry Potter world. Too bad, it would have been so cool if I had ended up there. I'm still convinced that they lost my letter and that I'm an actual wizard. You'll see, one day it will turn up. Yeah right Lexie, keep dreaming.
I wanted to know what the mystery box was so I walked over to Lucas and was about to ask him when he suddenly got up and walked right into me. His body knocked the blue box right out of my hands. It was like everything went into slow motion all of a sudden. I wanted to graphed the dame thing, but I couldn't reach it. Thank god Lucas was taller and faster. He caught the box just in time before it would hit the ground.
"Oh thank god you caught it. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to…," I wanted to apologize but the air in the tent was changing. And it wasn't good.
Lucas had placed the box on the table he had been sitting at and then he turned to me. The friendly side he sometimes had was completely gone. He pulled his arm up so fast I never saw his hand coming. The back of his palm made contact with my face at such a force it made me fall back. My face started burning from the moment his hand was gone: "DON'T EVER TOUCH MY STUFF AGAIN!"
Lucas his eyes were filled with anger and hatred. I thought that I had seen his dark side before, but this topped it. He was furious for some reason. But why? He caught the dame box thing so what's the big deal? For Lucas it seemed to be important: "YOU NEARLY BROKE ALL THE DATA I HAD COLLECTED! GET OUT!"
I wanted to get up, but the mad man was faster. He graphed my arm, his nails digging into my skin. My feet couldn't follow him, so I tripped over them smacking my face against the ground and hurting one of my ankles in the process. I wanted to yell at Lucas, but his look made it seem like he wanted to kill me. He literally threw me out of his tent. My body smacked against the small fence that was placed around the platforms to prevent people from falling of off them. It nearly gave away because of the impact.
Mira had heard the racket Lucas had made. Hell, everybody probably heard that. I could see Amy and the other women from our tent standing on the ground beneath me. Amy had a confused look on her face, but the other two seemed rather happy with the whole situation.
The dark woman graphed my arm and twisted it on my back, making sure she pulled it high enough to hurt me a lot. I hissed at her touch. Lucas attack had hurt a lot and Mira seemed to like what was going on: "Lucas, what happened?"
Oh she was enjoying Lucas his outburst. Her eyes were practically twinkling and she had to keep herself from grinning. She was loving the outburst and the fact that it was all my fault. Lucas wasn't done yet. His hand nearly chocked me when his fingers closed around my neck. His voice was filled with anger when he spoke: "Pry we don't find any proof of you being a spy! I'd kill you myself."
I was hoping that would be it, but that's not what Lucas had planned. He had turned around, but his fist came back and made full contact with my face. If Mira wasn't holding me I would have topped over the fence and fell out of the tree. My brain was starting to have trouble staying conscious. My face was hurting too much. He had hit me right between my eyes, making the bone thingy in my nose say crack. That cannot be good: "Take her away Mira."
Mira dragged me with her with pleasure. She pushed and pulled to get me to walk faster. She was bringing me back to the cell I had been staying in during my first days. Mira pushed me in making me fall on the arm she had been holding on my back. It cost me a lot of willpower to not scream it out of pain. My head felt like it wanted to split into two pieces. My eyes felt like they wanted to jump out of my skull. It I wondered if my nose was broken. It did seem to feel that way. Thank god my ankle isn't broken. It was in pain, but I could still stand on it, but just a little.
Great, back at the start. What the hell happened with Lucas. I can understand he would be angry about the box, but his reaction was just over the top. It didn't make any sense that he would do something like that. Stupid fucker! Who does he think he is? Hitting me out of the blue like he did. I could feel anger rising in my body, but it was useless down here in my cell. I had nothing I could work it out on. The pain and anger that was taking hold off my body started draining my strength and it didn't take long before I was out cold.
