Tallie:

It was him. Zeke. The one she had once been best friends with. The one she had once...

Tallie shook her head violently. He had betrayed her. Left her for money and power. And here he stood apologetically begging.

"Tallie, who the hell is this?" Axel's voice zoomed around Tallie's skull.
A pause.

"Zeke. An old friend." She exiled dropping her bow. The others followed suite. 

An hour later she was alone with Zeke fiddling with a bendy twig. "Why are you here Zeke?" She roughly whispered.

Silence. Tallie liked Silence.
It told a thousand stories and a million emotions without having to conjure up hazy literature. As you read a book all you hear is silence yet a whole world unravels around you.

"Your an orange blood aren't you? Zeke?" Silence.

"If I was why would I tell you?" Zeke's sly voice was more recognisable now.

"That's fair. Do you mind putting out the fire?"

Water bounced out of Zeke's index finger. Instantly demolishing the hopeful flames that Satine had forged. 

The old friends sniggered. 


Axel: 

Axel doesn't trust Zeke. 

Why has Tallie let this stranger into our lives so willingly? Why do they seem so happy together? These questions racked Axel's brain continuously that night. 

Zeke was much taller then Axel. Axel was shorter then Tallie. His hair was much nicer then the black fluff that sat on Axel's egg shaped head. 

He had always assumed that he was Tallie's only friend. Tallie is his. 

As you can see Axel didn't sleep much that night. 


Satine: 

Satine doesn't trust Zeke. 

This Zeke guy gave of a weird vibe. He literally walked into here like he owned it. And he's water. These questions ate away at Satine's brain that night.

She hated horses. They creep her out with their big eyes taking you apart. Plus their teeth are disgusting! 

But the elephant (or should I say horse) in the room is he's from Thomnum!  


Tallie: 

2 hours later

A solemn silence settled into the atmosphere.

"I I really do mean it ya know." He stutters staring of into the cloud coloured moon. "That I'm sorry." His brown specs turned to pierce Tallie's. Warmth ran to her head. 

"Thanks but I don't know if I can really forgive you yet." She looked away, nervous. Tallie never gets nerves. 

Why now?
