Chapter 22 CHAPTER 22
"I'm sorry, Spirit, I had forgotten Raven told me your name. Spirit snorted but let Imara pet her. Kyle and Nigel come to her hugging her. Spirit rubbed up against Roman. I don't know Spirit I don't think we are aloud. Spirit laid down with her head on the ground.
"What does she want?" Talon asked.
"What does every new wolf want went they are out for the first time." Roman said.
"Imara and I will take her, " Talon said.
Spirit did not move. But wined
"Fine Roman can come too." He said. Spirit got up and ran around excited. They shifted and took spirit for a long run she rolled in the long grass and would run back and nip Romans wolf in the heals playing like a young pup. When we returned Spirit gave me back my skin and Roman wrapped me in a different blanket.
"What is this?" I asked him.
"Your other one is worn and falling apart so I made you a new as a present for becoming of age." He said smiling. I hugged him. Imara looked at him with disapproval. Who cared what she thought. They were not letting them leave. The pull was getting stronger it was harder to resist now that I was one with Spirit. I had to find away to get away from them.
That night was when it all started. I now had my full powers, and I used them when ever I had a chance. I did stupid things like making people trip into each other. That in turn would start a fight amongst the other rouges. I would say up late only pretending to be asleep and blow a wind that put out all their fires. I learned to bind vines together that were still in the ground and wind them around other rouges feet as the carried things. It seemed not much I couldn't do with my mind. Spirit and I were having a great time causing havoc in the other camp. We would walk miles during the day the opposite way I was being pulled. Then camped at night. I was sitting drawing one night while Roman cooked our dinner we were back to being outcast again which was fine with me.
As I drew I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turn quickly to see who it was afraid one of the other rouges had come near out camp. But it was Imara.
"Raven, I know what you are doing. Though it was some what humors at first it has become annoying. You need to stop before Talon finds out it is you. I don't want to see you punished. So, take my advise and stop playing games with you new abilities."
"Imara, really I do not know what you're talking about I have just been sitting here drawing or braiding my hair. I did one for you. It is special, just like you are." I smiled.
"Heed my warning Raven. Thank you fir the special braid that means a lot to me." She said and went back to the other camp after talking to Roman. I laughed inside with Spirit, the braid was special alright it would bring her down fall soon for trapping me. I went back to sit by the fire. Roman told me we had finally reached our destination, and we would be having a visitor. Right then I started to plan what I would do.
"Raven, Imara told me to make sure you behave while the man is here or we will not be permitted food for a week." Roman told me. I could not let the others be punished for what I did. I folded my arm and frowned.
Kyle and Nigel laughed.
"I would go without food for a week to see the Rouge King fall on his face." Kyle said.
"The, who?" I asked
"The Rouge King, from what I overheard he is coming to meet you. That is why we came all this way." Kyle said. Roman grabbed him by the throat, when did you hear this and why are you just telling me now you IDOT." Roman yelled at him. I jumped up and begged Roman to let him go. Roman threw him to the ground. He was angry at Kyle. I just heard it today when we were walking. I went a head to get Raven berries and heard them talking.
Kyle tried to explain.
"And what your just telling me now. You have no brains Kyle. He is not coming to meet Raven. He is coming to take Raven by force if necessary." Roman said. Don't even think of going anywhere a voice said from behind us. It was Talon and Imara.
He is paying a good price for Fire Sky child." Talon said.
"I will not go, and you can not make me." I yelled.
"You will do as you are told or watch these three die before you leave." Imara said in a cold voice.
"I will not let you hurt them." I yelled.
"Bind her eyes," Talon ordered. Imara grabbed me blindfolded me and tied my arms behind my back you are coming with us; good night boys enjoy your dinner. Imara said as she dragged me to her and Talon’s camp. They gave me no food to eat and no blanket to sleep with.
"Imara let me have my bags please!" I begged her.
"You will get your bags in the morning when I see fit now go to sleep." Imara said her voice cruel. Now more than ever I did the braid that would be the end of her. She would know that I had done it this made me smile. Now I just had to figure out away to get out of this.
"Spirit can we do anything without our site?" I asked.
"Your mind is not strong enough yet Raven you could seriously hurt yourself." Spirit said. But I could tell she was thinking.
"Imara and Talon are stupid they forget you have me now. I can be your eyes. But it is dangerous you must listen to me carefully and be quick you can not make one error.
Go to sleep now you need to be well rested it will take a lot from you." Spirit said. Then went and laid down. I tried to do as she said but it was not happening anytime soon. Every little noise made me jump. I was scared someone would try and touch me. I fell asleep at some point though. Because I woke up to a lot of noise going on around me. I listened carefully to what was being said.
"You are early my King." Talon said.
"It is not I who is early it is you who is late by three day." a deep rough voice said.
"Would you like some coffee?" Imara asked.
"I'm not here for pleasantries, where is the girl." He demanded. Talon came into the tent and dragged me to my feet warning me to keep my mouth shut, or the other would pay dearly with their lives.
