Chapter 8:
They sat up and Law got up to change. Petra covered her eyes to give him some privacy. He got fully dressed and ruffled her hair giving her an all clear signal. She uncovered her eyes and looked up at her captain. He looked at the clock and saw it was early. "You should get out while you can before the crew thinks something else." Law explained and she got up. Stretching she headed towards the door. When she was about to open the door a pair of lips kissed her cheek making her freeze.
Petra turned towards Law and gave him a kiss back. She headed out and sneaked back into her room. There she dressed in a dark green long sleeve shirt with white stripes going horizontal. Then slipped on blue jeans and a pair of black sandals. She brushed her teeth and hair before heading out of the room and down to the bar where the crew slowly woke up. She walked by and went outside the Inn.
Law came out of the Inn and asked, "Where are you going this time Petra-ya?"
She looked at him and smiled slightly. "The library of course!" she said and walked down the street. He watched her walk away and smiled. As she walked she pick pocketed different people silently and placed the money in her own pockets.
Once she reached the library, the young woman entered and looked through the shelves. There was one book that she really wanted to find. The librarian noticed her having trouble and walked up to her. "Is there any book you are trying to find miss?" he asked.
Petra nodded. "Are there any books about plants?" he nodded and gestured her to follow. They entered an isle of books. The librarian pointed to a spot on the shelf meaning that was where the books were. He walked away and she searched the shelves for info on different plants. Once she found the right books, Petra took two off the shelf and placed them on the librarian's counter. "I'll take these." she said and placed the beli she got from pick pocketing on the counter and walked out with the books. Afterwards, Petra went to a meadow and sat down opening the books. She simply scanned the information from the books and looked at the ground.
She took a deep breath and relaxed. The young woman focused and swayed her arms in a slow back and forth motion. Leafs from the trees slowly fell off and combined together making the same motion as her arms were. A smile came upon her face and she clapped her hands making the leafs fall but attach back to the trees. Petra didn't feel dizzy when this happened, it was a GOOD sign that she was building up her powers. By the end of the day, her powers grew better.
To finish off training, she stood in the middle of the meadow and moved her hands in a circular motion making the trees shake a bit. Soon two of them lifted off the ground as it's roots began to grow thicker and longer. It soon built up a huge monster-like forest creature. Petra wiped the sweat off her forehead and it got down on one knee and bowed at Petra. She bowed too and then snapped her fingers. The monster sunk into the ground and disappeared. The trees that she took out to create the monster grew back in a matter of seconds. Petra grabbed her books and headed back to the Inn. There Law was talking to the crew. He looked worried. As soon as she got closer the crew took their eyes off him and put them on her smiling wide. "PETRA!" they yelled and ran over to her. Bepo was the first to giving her a BEAR huge.
When he let go everyone surrounded her but Law broke through everyone and stared at her a bit shocked yet angry. "You said you where at the library!" he said his face darkening. He felt a little betray at her lie. "Where were you?" Law asked his eyes meeting hers.
"Half true actually. I WAS at the library only to get these books," she stopped to show everyone the plant books. "and the rest of the day I was training a bit. I wish to show you my progress but we are in the middle of a public town." Petra finally finished and Law looked at her eyes wide.
"At least you're safe is all that matters." Shachi and Penguin said together. This made her chuckle and she passed through the crew. She stopped when she got through and turned towards them. Petra reached in her pocket and showed them the money she got. "Oh and the other quarter of the day I pick pocketed a bit." she stuck her tongue out playfully and put the money back in her pockets.
She walked into her room and laid down on the bed tired. "Ugh! I'm so tired! What a long day..." she yawned and closed her eyes trying to fall asleep.
