OMG I SO SOWY ABOUT THE REALLY DELAYED UPDATE!
It seems my twin has gotten 'bored' of the story, and doesn't want to do it anymore.
But I won't stop!
So, that means, I, Ignite, have to write the Winter P.O.V and the Aednat P.O.V until my twin gets in the mood.
I'm sorry, I know my sis's writing is so much better than mine, but, it's the best I can do.
I hope you guys enjoy! :D
"Chet," I said worriedly, "Where's Aednat? Is she safe somewhere? She must be. We can't help her, for the curse told us that we can't see her." I remarked, wringing my hands.
"I suppose." Chet mumbled, staring out into the wind in a daze.
I sighed. I gestured for Chet to sit down next to me. "She's gonna' be okay Chet, don't worry." I said patting his shoulder.
"Winter, remember how you said that I was like a brother to you?" Chet asked.
"Yes, I do. I think it was this morning."
"Well, most of the time you seem more motherly than little sisterly. I mean, how old are you?"
"Sixteen."
"See, I be 20 soon! You're extra mature for your age. And it seems you take good care of Aednat." Chet said with a smile.
"Of course I do." I said with a smirk, getting up to get some vegetables and meat Calder had found/hunted.
"Are you really sure she's gonna' be okay?" Chet suddenly asked, again, grasping onto my arm.
I looked into his eyes, easily seeing the concern, and maybe even fear in the boy's eyes. He must really like Aednat. Thinking of that almost made another smirk pop up on my face. Instead, I pushed his hand off my shoulder, firmly, but comforting at the same time.
"She'll be fine, Aednat's a strong girl. You know that." I said sternly, a small smile on my face.
Chet lowerd his hands to his sides, after brushing a bit of hair from his forehead. "Yeah, yeah I know." he sighed.
"Good! Now, let's eat." I said happily strolling over to Calder.
"How's this for supper?" he asked, holding up a goose and a few rabbits in one hand, and some berries and other woodland plants (sorry, I don't know many,) in his other.
"It's perfect!" I said happily, actually kind of hungry.
After Calder had finished preparing everything, we made a fire to cook the meat over. I didn't really like the heat, but it had a nice home-like feeling to it. The scent of fire mixed with the meat and the wilderness drifted through the air to make a rather pleasant scent. I walked over and sat down on the makeshift bench next to Calder, who was cautiously making sure everything was cooking correctly. When he saw me sit down he looked up and smiled. I love that smile of his. I looked across from me to see Chet, sitting on another makeshift bench, staring at the fire. He sighed, and looked depressed, I felt an odd sympathy rush out to him, but I didn't go over.
He probably just needs to be alone. I told myself, so that's what I did.
Though I tried to ignore it, I felt myself constantly looking up at the sad face of Chet's, and looking into the fire as he had. The fire was comforting, but looking at it made me feel a small pang of loneliness hit my heart. And I knew why. I looked up at Chet again and saw him sigh sadly. The wind seemed to brush his hair to the side, and tuck it behind his ear, as if in a comforting tone, and I saw his expression relax a bit. Strangely, I didn't feel any brush of wind on my face, maybe it was a Wind elemental thing…
"Well isn't this an awkward silence." Calder stated, trying to brighten the mood. I lightly giggled. I guess it partially worked.
"Yup." Chet replied, popping the 'p'. "I don't like it." he chuckled.
"Me neither… So, whadaya wanna do." Calder said, exaggerating the slang in his voice.
"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…" I said, "what do people usually do when they're in a random forest sitting around a fire?" I asked.
"Ummmmm, sing songs?" Chet suggested.
No one had any better ideas, so we went along with that.
"Anyone know any?" Calder asked.
"Well," I started after a few seconds of silence, "I might know one…."
"Really!? Come on! You have to sing it!" Calder exclaimed.
"What!? No! I'm not going to sing!" I exclaimed. Especially not in front of Calder! I thought, but I kept that thought to myself.
"Come on! Pwease!" Calder begged, turning on his pleading puppy eyes look.
Oh come on.
I won't fall for it.
Nope.
Nope.
Not going to fall for it.
No way, no how.
Nope.
"Fine." I finally said, falling to the mercy of Calder's pleading.
Dang it.
"Well okay then…" I said as I took a deep breath and started to sing.
"If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see
I'll be the light to guide you
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like 1, 2, 3
I'll be there
And I know when I need it
I can count on you like 4, 3, 2
You'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah
Ooooooh, oooohhh yeah, yeah
If you're tossin' and you're turnin'
And you just can't fall asleep
I'll sing a song beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Every day I will remind you
Oooh
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like 1, 2, 3
I'll be there
And I know when I need it
I can count on you like 4, 3, 2
You'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah
Ooooooh, oooohhh yeah, yeah
You'll always have my shoulder when you cry
I'll never let go, never say goodbye
You know...
You can count on me like 1, 2, 3
I'll be there
And I know when I need it
I can count on you like 4, 3, 2
You'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah
Ooooooh, oooohhh
You can count on me 'cause I can count on you" It was a song Aednat's and my father would sing to us when we were little. Yeah, those were the good 'ole days.
When I finished I turned and looked at the two boys.
Chet was simply silently humming the tune and swaying side-to-side gleefully. And Calder, heh Calder, he was just staring at me, his mouth agape. Seeing this caused me to blush and look away.
"Wow." he eventually sighed. "That was…..um…..that was…uh." he swallowed loudly, "um….I….I think the food's ready." he finally said, taking the roasted meat off of the stick.
Well, it was close.
As I started to eat, I couldn't stop thinking about when I was singing. I heard something, I know I did. Like a small voice singing along with me. A voice I knew very well.
Aednat, I hope you're okay…
Yeah, sorry it sucks.
