AN: Heyo! So good news, I found a way to type fanfics on my nook! I can't post though, but it means that I can either email them to Memory and she can post it, or I can email it to myself and post it when I get access like I'm doing now! Only downside is that since I typed it on my nook, editing will suck. Oh, well! As long as you get what I'm saying it's all good, right?

Story time, biatch! Read & review, plzz!

Chapter 24: The Uprising's Plans Revealed

I stare at the ceiling. And stare, and stare and stare and stare until my tired eyes force themselves closed. I haven't gotten any sleep yet.

What time is it, anyway? I lean over the railing of my bunk and squint at the small digital clock on Alex and James's nightstand. 5:28.

Great. I stayed up all night. And I can't wait for two-plus hours for everyone to wake up. I might as well go out and do something. We're allowed to leave our cabins at four, because of all the meisters and weapons here that feel the need to get up early and go for a run.

I make my way over to the ladder, feeling my way across the bed in the darkness. When I think I've found it, I heave myself over the railing and down it. Too bad I'm about six inches off.

I hit the ground with a thud. I grimace, then pick my head up to see if anyone was awakened by my tumble. I hear nothing but faint snoring coming from Alex's bunk. I wait for my eyes to adjust as I sit up.

I stand, dust myself off, and head for the door. On my way there, I glance over to Soul's bunk. He looks so cute when he's sleeping.

Whoa, creeper much, Ginge?

I can't help but smile, though. He really does. I wonder how he feels about this whole situation. It can't feel good, that's for sure. And Sarith. Could he actually be jealous? Or maybe he's just uncomfortable with the fact that he saved his life. Does he not like Sarith?

Speaking of Sarith, I need to go talk to him. I wonder if he's awake.

"Ginger...?" A voice says. I stop dead in my tracks and hold my breath. I let it out when I realize who it belongs to.

"Oh, it's just you, Kana. You scared me..." I think to her. She yawns. "Are you alright? Why are you up so early?" She asks. I continue down the empty halllway.

"I need to talk to Sarith, that's all." I tell her, turning a corner.

"Oh... the witch boy..." she says. I wait for a teacher to pass before continuing on towards the Nurse's office.

"Where have you been, anyway?" I ask her. She yawns again. "Here. There's not many places for me to go. But I've been observing how you react to all this. It's so different from when I was alive." She tells me.

"Alright, well we're here so I might not reespond." I tell her. "Okay." She replies.

I open the door and step in quietly. "Sarith? Are you awake?" I whisper, walking over to the third cot.

"I am now. Is that you, Ginger?" He asks. I nod and sit down on his cot, next to his feet.

"What was it you needed to tell me?" I ask him, turning on the lamp next to the cot. He sits up, rubs his eyes, and yawns.

"You know Mirielle and the Uprising, right? Well, they're looking for you. They're not lookong to kidnap you this time, either. They're coming to kill you. But for now, they don't know where you are. Luckily, no one suspected I was on your side. But then June and the others found out and had me kicked out. So I came here, in the hopes of finding you." He tells me. I sigh.

"It's always bad news with you, isn't it?" I say. He chuckles. "I'm sorry, I'm just not a very happy person." He says. I laugh and take his hand.

"I think you could be, if you tried." I tell him. He smiles. "Maybe." He replies. I look to the clock. 5:56.

"I'm getting tired..." I mutter, stretching my arms and laying down next to Sarith. He scooches ober a bit so I can fit. Jeez, no wonder Soul is jealous. But I owe mine and Soul's life to him. That's why I keep Sarith so close. Because without him, I would have lost Soul.

"I'm sorry if this is uncomfortable..." I say to him. He gulps. "Uh, no no! It's fine..." he says quickly. I shut my eyes and yawn. Why am I now suddenly tired...?

"Thank you, Sarith..." I mutter quietly before dozing off. He doesn't respond.

AN: Poor Soul! His girlfriend is sleeping next to another! How sad... I'm so evil... SORRY, SOURU! PLEASE FORGIVE ME! And I'm sorry for the short chapter, I didn't know what else to type!

Lolz, Read and review, plzz!
