Chapter Fifteen - Brody
We needed another Brody chapter, so here it is! I hope you enjoy. Yes, I don't like Brody, but I figured it was only fair to him. Also, the chapters are no longer happening at the same time. We're back to each chapter happening after the next!
"Explain what's going on, buster!" I shout, running after Teague with Nan close on my heels. "We just left Ever behind! I want to know why!"
"Because Mina was just kidnapped!"
"How on earth do you know that?" I snap. "There's no way you can possibly know that!"
"Yes, I can! I heard her!"
"I didn't!"
"Of course you didn't! You're you!" I want to kill him so badly for that comment. "It was Fae magic, stuff you wouldn't understand because you're an idiot and a human!"
"Look who's talking! It's your fault we're even in this mess!"
"Where are we going?" Nan breaks into the fight with a question, and I try to cool down slightly so as not to accidently snap at her too.
"Well, we're going to the castle so you two can get dropped off and figure out how you plan on finding Ever, because it's your fault she's gone. I, on the other hand, am going to the rat's nest itself and getting Mina back."
"Why aren't we going? And how do you know Mina is really gone?
"You aren't going because you two are idiots, so you'd only slow me down, and because you already lost Ever because of what you did. You'd probably do another stupid thing and mess another thing up." Man, he's really angry. I'm really worried now. Is this safe, having someone who wants to kill Mina but also has someone inside of him who loves her going to find her with no one else there? I don't even understand why we went and got him in the first place. Then again, I had no say in that. That was Ever's work.
"Then why don't you just do that cool trick all the Fae can do in teleport?" Nan looks slightly excited at her own idea.
"I would, but I can't transport myself and you two imbeciles. It would imbalance everything, and we'd probably end up in a desert somewhere."
Nan's bubble of excitement is popped, and I just find myself hating this guy more and more by the minute. No wonder Mina hates him so much...Or did hate him. I don't know what's going on in that clouded brain of her's right now. Which is why I need to fix it.
After walking for what seems like hours - again, since we walked this way in the opposite direction before - we reach the castle. Teague gestures inside. "Well, what are you two waiting for? Get in there."
"Wait, we just waltz right in? We can't do that! There's probably something nasty in there!" Nan exclaims.
Teague just huffs. "Must I do everything?" He snaps his fingers and suddenly we're sent spiraling, until we both hit the floor - inside the castle - with a thud.
"I thought he said he couldn't do that!" Nan squeaks indignantly.
"He probably just wanted to make us walk that far."
So, sorry for a short chapter there, but I figured that would explain why Nan and Brody disappear for the time being. Now, it's time for heroic Teague! Or perhaps not so heroic...We'll just have to see!
By the way, what are you guys thinking about this whole Royal thing? Do you guys think it's the goat man? Someone we've already met? Someone we've never seen? I'm sure it'll be a shocker, so if you guessed it ahead of time, I'll be impressed! I'd love to know some of your guesses in the reviews.
