Sing Your Way Out
Chapter 7: In The Rain
C j POV:
The moon hung low in the sky, casting eerie shadows across everything. My cloak swished softly as I moved silently across the forest floor. Over a tree trunk, around a bush. A small droplet of water fell across my face. 'Rain.' I silently thought as it began to drizzle. I moved slightly faster. A hoot of an owl disturbed me. 'RAIN!' it chided. I kept moving, as silently as possible over the now damp forest floor. It started to rain harder, I moved faster. Soon enough I was racing across the damp forest floor, splashing and sploshing in every puddle. I heard steps behind me. I quietly jumped into a small bush, and watched. Soon enough, a figure ran past.
Ian.
How could this be? I had made sure no one knew where I was going, or that I had left. I watched as he came to a halt, and stood listening. Of course, he couldn't hear my footsteps any more. Smart. I silently slipped out of my bush. I walked towards him. He paid no attention to me. I quietly slipped passed him. As soon as I was at a safe distance, I began running again. I heard the steps behind me begin to speed up. I raced, full speed, towards my destination. The stone clearing. I raced it, and stopped running, panting softly. The steps behind me stopped, and I heard the rustling of a bush.
"Jason, Natasha, you can come out now." I hissed into the gloom.
"Glad you are here." Jason said, appearing before me.
"Finally!" Natasha squeaked from behind him, her face barely visible in the pouring rain.
"Can we please continue to the wall now?" I hissed.
"Of course!" Natasha chided as we began to run. We raced all the way to the wall, and so did Ian by the sound of it.
"Now, we just figure out how to turn it off, and well know how to do it the night before the battle." Jason said. We began searching, looking for projectors, or anything that could be the source of the hologram. Tiki was the one who found it though.
"Look!" Natasha chided. She pushed a small boulder, with the help of Jay, into the wall, and a small gap appeared.
"If we could have more of those, the outside forced could easily come to help us." Jay said.
"Can we keep searching tomorrow? It's cold, and this pouring rain doesn't help." Tiki spat.
"Sure!" Jay said. We quietly race away.
"Ceej." Came a gasp behind me. I slowed down until I could no longer see Tiki and Jay.
"Ian?" I hissed.
"Ceej!" Ian said appearing. He seemed soaked to the bone. A flash of lightning revealed a tired face.
"You followed me!" I spat, anger burning the tips of my ears.
"I had to, I wanted to talk to you, but you had already left, so I followed you." Ian said, regret in his voice.
"Okay, talk to me." I said.
"Ceej, do… do you like me?" he said softly.
"Of course! You one of the best friends I have! Why do you ask?" I said, even though I knew that was not what he was asking.
"I ask you that because, I…I…" He stammered.
"Well?" I said, almost to myself.
Ian POV:
I couldn't stop stammering. What was wrong with me?
"Well?" Ceej said, almost to herself.
"I…I…" I said, but was cut off when Ceej pressed her lips to mine. The cold of the rain was gone.
"I love you." I whispered.
"I know." Came Cj's whisper back. With that, a howl far off, seemed to scare her, and she bolted away.
I was happy now.
