So, I am kind of curious as to what people think of this... so It'd be nice to get at least one review. Other than that, if you like this, could you tell others? Thanks loads!
Chapter Thirteen
Told by Max
I come back in from my morning flight, feeling refreshed. Then I hear something shatter. I run to the courtyard.
There I find Fang and Dylan must have been fighting. Kai is between them and pushing them apart.
"You two are such toddlers! Fighting over Max like she's a toy! Gosh. She is obviously just annoyed by you," Kai says to Dylan, then, turning to Fang, says, "And you hurt her."
They start arguing and Kai does something I had wanted to do to them for so long: She bangs both of their heads together. They both stop talking and glare, holding their heads.
"See, children, that's all you two are!" At this point I have no clue what she's saying because she broke off into a string of Italian.
"Yeah…. We all learned quickly that she always follows through with her threats. So don't make her mad. Another lesson learned." Jethro says from the corner of the room.
Everyone looks at them, the same question on their faces, except for Kai. When did he get here?
"I always come in here. To read." Jethro answers our silent question. He turns back to his book.
Kai turns back to the boys. "If I find you fighting again, you might as well say good bye to your manhood."
"It's true!" Jethro yells from the corner.
That's when I see her. A woman. I had been seeing her everywhere, just small glimpses. Watching us. A sad look in her eyes. She looks to be young, in her late twenties or early thirties. She turns her eyes from Fang to look at me for a few seconds.
I inhale sharply upon seeing her eyes: Silver. She turns, her long strait white hair flowing out behind her as she disappears down the hall. Kai doesn't seem to notice, just continues marching the guys out of the courtyard and to their rooms.
I walk down the hall a ways. The one that the white haired woman went through. I continue down, then stop and crack a door open a little. The woman is there, sad tears forming in her eyes. She is really pretty, but she looks as if she's been through much pain.

I march the guys up to their rooms, silent all the way. I push them up the spiral staircase to the fourth floor. When we're standing outside of Dylan's room, I look down at him, directly in the eye.
"Now, listen up, pretty boy. You better behave yourself. Because here we go by the three strikes rule. After three strikes, you will be left out in the caves to defend for yourself for the night. Lot's of hallucinations, illusions, pain, running. And if you sleep, well… let's just say try not to. You don't wake up." I warn him, then push him into his room, and use the override key to lock the door. "I'll have someone bring you your dinner tonight." I say through the door, then walk Fang to his room.
"You already heard what I told Dylan. Same goes to you, Mr. Rock. But there's someone I want you to meet first." My voice softens. I open the door. There, standing in the middle of the room, is the great Argento Occhico. Which means "Silver Eye" in Italian.
