The Enchanting Dragon

Chapter 6

"Speaking through thought projection"

thoughts

Kara's POV

"Okay, now that we have gotten through that, there is still the little issue of WE DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE!!" Hak states loudly. Oh yeah, I kind of forgot about that... I think to myself, a little embarrassed.

"Stay there, I'll meet with you guys in about 6 minutes," I message them, giving them my estimated time of arrival.

"Wait you're only that far away, didn't you run for your life earlier?" Yun questions.

"You seem to remember that event differently than I do," I state.

"But Hak held his spear to your throat," Yona says, unsure of what I mean.

"Well, I could have beaten him easily, it was just too much work," I state cockily.

Hak snorts, "Sure you could."

My eyes widen if fake surprise, "what, you don't believe me?" It doesn't take a genius to guess how he will react to my earlier statement, so I knew what to expect in advance.

"No, I don't," he states bluntly.

"You hurt me," I say mockingly. Yona sighs and Yun unintentionally projects his thoughts, "Gah, they should just get along already. This is annoying."

"Sorry, but bugging him is just so much fun," I say, sending the message solely to Yun.

His eyes widen slightly and he snaps out, "That was a private thought!!"

"A private thought about Hak and I?" I question in a seemingly innocent manner.

"Well just because it involved you doesn't mean that you should just butt in!" Yun yells, irritated.

"Sorry," I say softly, actually meaning the apology this time.

Not even half a minute after I finish my private conversation with Yun the group appear in my sights. "I'll be there in a few seconds," I state.

"Hi guys!" I exclaim loudly, this time in person and not through our minds.

"Gah!!!" They all jump in surprise at my voice.

"What? I told you I would be here in a few seconds," I ask, wondering why they are so shocked.

"Yeah, but how the heck did you sneak up on me?! I caught you last time you were sneaking around," Hak questions, absolutely confused at what just happened.

"I don't know, though it does seem to be my body's natural reaction to avoid what my mind perceives as a possible threat," I state.

"And before I beat you, you didn't see me as a 'possible threat'?" he asks.

"Okay, first of all, you did not 'beat me' and second of all no, no I did not," I say sassily.

"Okay, okay that's enough!" Yona yells, tired of our back-and-forth.

"Yeah, I agree with Yona. Instead of this, we should be talking about what you want with us," Yun states.

"Huh, I thought that much was obvious..." I say, trailing off and not answering the question. The two males raise their eyebrows at my statement and Yona tilts her head to the side in obvious confusion. I decide that the tension has built up enough and I continue, "I want to travel with you guys!!"

All of their mouths drop open in surprise. I don't really get it, I've been acting friendly, so what gave them the impression that I want something else?

"Why would I let someone like YOU travel with US?" Hak asks with annoyance. Yun nods at the taller male's sentiment and Yona doesn't really seem to have an opinion about it at all. A person like me? What's that supposed to mean?

"Well, I guess you could deny me, but you should know that I don't like taking 'no' as an answer," I state with a sickly sweet smile.

"If that's the case then, NO!" Hak says. I pout at this. Well, I did warn him that I don't like answering to '"no" so everything should be good.

"If you say so," I state with a devilish smile. Once again, all their eyes widen at this and a single thought runs through each of their minds, I have a bad feeling...

"Come on, let's go," Hak orders. The others look over at him and he was already walking away. They scamper after him, glancing back at me out of the corner of their eyes, not really wanting to leave just yet.

I smirk to myself and yell, "I'll see you soon!!" I don't even have to see their faces to tell that they are confused.

"Don't count on it!" Hak replies, not even looking back.

"Oh, I will," I say, sending my thought into his mind. He jumps, not expecting the sudden voice.
