Chapter Seven
Am I Crazy?
Mallory. Why is she here? Spike was trying to save… from some guy named Prick. Who is Prick? How could this 'Prick' have found us?
"Calm down Briar. You're safe here. Now follow me and I will tell about… Prick." There was pure venom in is her voice when she said that name.
"Wait, how did you know my name? And how do you know I was thinking about Prick?" Then she gave me a motherly just-stop-talking glare, "Okay, okay, I'll calm down. Now lead the way."
"Right this way! I just want to tell you one more thing… well, two more actually. One, I have always had a special talent, I can read minds. Two, I don't want to be evil, I'm kind of like your friend Raven. But instead of writing my own destiny I ran away from home, too scared to face my mother."
"Mallory, wow. Wait, didn't Spike say that 'they' captured you? He never even mentioned anything about you running away."
"Well, you just wait were almost there!"
"Mallory, you haven't exactly told me where we're going!"
"Oh, right! I forget other people can't read minds and have no idea what I'm thinking. Anyway, we're going to Master Duckling's house." I was about to ask her something but she quickly commented, "Master Duckling was the very first Ugly Duckling and the closest thing I have to a father figure."
"Right. Almost forgot you were a mind reader."
"Briar!" I nearly walked straight into the wall of a house but Mallory quickly shot a spell towards me that turned me around instantly.
"Briar, you really need to watch out!" She said a bit annoyed at my lack of attention to oncoming objects.
"It's not my fault walls are bullies!" We both got a good laugh out of that answer of mine.
"Well Briar, if you hadn't noticed, we're here!"
"Finally. Now no dilly-dallying Mallory! Once we set foot in this house you better start talking."
"Okay then, let's go inside."
"Okay. In you go!" I gave Mal a slight push and she practically tumbled inside.
"Thanks for the gentle touch!"
"You're welcome." I heard her stifle a laugh at my subtle sarcasm.
"Where do we begin? Oh right, so I had just ran away from home…"
Hey guys (and girls) I'm sorry there was no chapter yesterday! I was busy and when I did finally have time to right the chapter I had no idea what to write! But today all the ideas flowed. Sorry there's not much action, I wanted to show how well Briar and Mallory got along. Anyway, this is probably the chapter I'm most proud of, why? I think it's because it took a long time to write. See ya later guys (and girls) and peace out 'til the next chapter!
