Sooo sorry for taking so long on an update. I've been having the weirdest life of my life (if that makes any sense to you). Luckily the weirdness has given me new ideas.
Once we were outside walking I felt even worse. Was I going crazy? Doesn't Lissa feel it? What in the world is going on? Was it the dohnut I ate?
I heard a noise. It was real not my imagination. I stiffened and prepared myself for anything. I felt so much energy travel onto my muscles of my arms and legs. I had not noticed Lissa was talking to me.
"You are going to tell me what's going on and why you are acting as if the sky is falling?" Lissa asked staring at me.
"Look. I just feel weird you know? It must be a new side effect of the feeding or something."
Wrong thing to say.
"What?! There's a new side effect? Oh my gosh, what are we going to do? We should take you to a doctor."
"Sure. Why don't we just walk up and ask, 'Doctor? Do you have any pain reliever for vampire bites? You know bites make me feel anxious.'" I said rolling my eyes.
"Fine. Then what should we do?" she asked concerned. Sometimes it feels good to have someone to worry about your sanity.
"Nothing. It'll pass." I gave her a reassuring smile. Then felt breathing on my neck. I quickly turned and punched. It fell with a whimper. A psi hound.
The academy must have sent them. I ran and grabbed Lissa with one arm around her waist. All the tension that had build up on me was turning into energy as I ran like never before.
This all happened in a matter of seconds and Lissa had not catch up yet. I was running at full sped with her in my arm so I couldn't tell if she was okay. I was using all my strength in running so I couldn't concentrate enough to even sense her through my mind.
The back of my legs throbbed with pain and my lungs seemed about to want to go through my mouth to be able to get breath. My mind was swirling and I couldn't grasp a thought. It suddenly became too much. I felt as if I was going to collapse.
Suddenly I didn't feel anything anymore. As if my body was running without my help. I was aware of my panting and I hadn't even slowed my speed. Like this I could finally think. Lissa was confused and terrified yet she trusted me 100%.
Where am I going? Have I outran them? I need to stop somewhere. How long have I ran?I'm killing myself.
I focused and turned all my senses behind me. Nothing. I slowed and stopped. I put Lissa down and let myself fall onto the grass. Grass?
"What happened, Rose? Please tell me." She said with her voice full of concern.
"The school …it sent psi hounds ... think I outran them …" I said from the ground, panting my guts out. "Do you … know where we … are?"
"I guess we'll find out in the morning." She sighed and laid down beside me.
"We'll have to get … up before the sun raises." I said. "You know how … you get."
"I know." She said.
