Sorry it has taken so long for me to update. My Docs keep on deleting due to the fact I am rarely getting on due to school. Well I hope this chapter was worth the wait. Enjoy!
The healing process was taking a very, very, VERY long time. I was put on bed rest by the siblings for three days unable to do anything but eat, sleep, talk to Matilda and try to sneak out of bed (but Mina and Sena made sure I stayed in bed). Once I was able to get out of bed, I almost jumped out. The first few steps were hard because of the stiffness of my legs,but it got better as I continued walking.
"Is it okay if I go outside? I really need some fresh air," asked the siblings.
"Of course,"they said in union.
I decided to leave my jacket on my bed since the weather seemed so nice. I walked outside using the wall as some support. I took a deep breath taking in the warm air, as the oracle sun shone on my face. I smile came to face as I went back to a distant memory at my grandfather's farm. Hunter and I would listen to our grandfather's not-so-make believe stories and play in the vast backyard especially if it was warm outside.
"Arachna Power!" Hunter would yell as we pretended we were spider riders of Arachna.
I would of never of thought I would be saying those words for real.
"The spider riders are here!" I heard a villager yell to the town.
Numerous people began running to the edge of town where the voice had come from.
"Crap. If they find out I am a spider rider it can make things more difficult to find Hunter."
I hastily limber inside the house.
"What is wrong Kina?" asked Sena, seeing the worry on my face.
"There are some spider riders here,"I replied.
Sena turned to Mina and said,"Do you think it is Corona?"
"Who knows,"replied her sister.
"Corona?"
"She is our younger sister. She is a spider rider," Mina said quickly with excitement in her voice.
"Oh."
Judging by Sena and Mina's faces, I bet they forgot that I was trying to avoid the spider riders. Suddenly some one knocked on the door.
"Corona is that you,"Mina called at the door.
"Yes it is me."
I hobbled to my bedroom door,grabbing my jacket and putting it on. It was while I was going to my room that Sena and Mina realized why I had been a worried. As soon as I put my arms through the sleeves of my jacket, I heard happy greetings of the sisters. I made sure my manacle was covered and quickly told Matilda what was going on before I left my room. I stopped for a moment to calm myself before stepping into the room.I saw a blonde headed girl with her hair tied up in a bun sitting next to the sisters. She had on black boots that reached up past the knee. A hot pink shirt and a peach shirt with no sleeves and gloves that extended past her elbows. What caught my eye was the balls of topaz on her boots, shirt and ears. Sena, Mina and Corona were sitting on the floor in the middle of a conversation.
"Wait so you have a real sister," I heard Mina exclaimed during the conversation.
"Yep and she is also a spider rider, but she isn't here. She had other thing to do,"she replied.
"Aww, all three of us wanted to meet her," Sena cried.
"Three?"
Sena realized what she had said ,but it was too late.
"If there is three of you where is..."
"Hello," I said grabbing Corona's and the sibling's attention, "My name is Kina," I said introducing myself.
"Oh,hello. I am Corona,"she replied,"Nice to meet you."
"You too,"I replied taking a seat next to them.
This is going to be hard.I am not much of an actor ,but if anything comes up I hope the siblings can help ,but if they can't...
"So, I heard that a spider rider saved the town,"Corona began.
"Oh yes,"Mina said giving me a glance," She was amazing."
"Wait.. so it was an other spider rider. Aquna, Princess Sparkle and me went on patrol the other day. I thought one of the boys had saved you!" Corona said shocked.
I gave Mina a quick,"Seriously!" look and then looked away.
"Oh is that so..."said Sena nervously.
This isn't going well at all.
"Who is she,"Corona asked.
I saw the girls began to melt and I was not about to allow an other slip.
"Nobody knows. When Laric started to destroy the town everyone ran for cover. No one was able to see her face,"I said quickly.
Corona eyed me suspiciously.
"Who is Laric,"she asked.
Oh great now I slipped ..I can tell her the truth ,but still keep my identity a secret.
"When Laric arrived he had his arena and forced someone to fight in it. When Sena was picked to go in I jumped in the way and decided to fight," I said calmly.
"Oh wow. I am surprised you didn't get hurt."
"Well she actually did,"replied Sena,"She has been laying in bed for three days."
"Even though I disagree with it," I added.
Corona gave a small laugh.
"Yea. They will make sure you get better especially by extreme means,"she said.
"Hey Corona,it is about time to go,"said a voice that caused me to jump a little.
"Oh sorry Kina, I bet Venus didn't mean to scare you, but she is right it is about time for me to head back."
"Aw ,but you just got here,"the sisters said together.
"I know, but my work is never done. I have a lot to do as a spider rider."
That is exactly why I don't want you to figure out that I am a spider rider.
"Well,I guess you can leave. I believe you are here with your boyfriend aren't you,"said Sena.
"How many times do I have to tell you that he is not my boyfriend!" said Corona turning a little red.
Sena and Mina giggled and I smiled a little. Corona's reaction was a little funny. We all stood up. Sena and Mina hugged Corona bye. Corona then came up to me holding out her left hand.
"I hope we can meet again some time,"she said.
"Me too,"I replied.
Even though I was right handed I took out my left hand and shook it. Suddenly something hit my eye. Part of my manacle was showing. I slowly put my hand down trying to make sure Corona didn't see my manacle.
"Well I better get going,"Corona said walking out the door.
"Bye,"we all said.
As soon as she got out the door I let out a sigh of relief.
"I am so glad she didn't find out,"I said in aspiration.
"Yea,sorry about those slip-ups Kina,"said Mina.
"It's fine. I almost did it myself,"I replied.
"Well one thing is for sure, the spider riders will be looking for you,"said Sena.
"Not quite. They are not looking for Kina ,but for the 8th spider rider, but they won't get far. I am going to keep myself a secret until I find my brother."
"We will,"said Matilda,"Remember we are in this together."
"Of course we are,"I replied.
Finally this chapter is done. Happy late Christmas or almost Happy New Year's Eve since it is tomorrow. I am sorry it took so long to get this up ,but please R and R. Thank you. :)
