Clove POV
I am scared.
No, scared describes it weakly. An understatement.
I am terrified.
"RIKARI!" I smash her to the ground, and the bullet aimed for her hits the wall. Others were not nearly as lucky.
"Clove.. You saved me.."
"We need to run," I say.
"Agreed.." Layla mutters. She looks rather scared.
"Well there's no time to run like the present, move it," Eli says, gesturing us out a secret exit.
"Eli, how the fuck do you know so much exits," Rikari asks.
"Magic. And being imprisoned," Eli shrugs.
"Okay guys, COME ON," Glowy says, sounding about as nervous as I feel.
"Clove, you look like you're about to pass out and throw up," Valen says, which causes Layla to turn.
".. you'll be okay, right," Asks Layla.
"Oh god, I'm not sure," I say.
We end up splitting up, I'm with Eli and Rikari, the others, Valen, Glowy, and Layla, must've gone another way.
"Shit," Eli screams. He's stuck in the ground, and his ankle looks sprained.
"Oh no! Clove we've gotta pull him out!"
I feel so frail, and so weak, and my head is spinning, but I still help anyway. We can hear gunshots, the armies have come to either help or hurt us. I can't even tell.
Then the floor flies up and meets my face.
Rikari POV
....
"CRAP! Now Clove's down! I'm the only one of us in a stable position to walk," I say to Eli.
"Well now that I'm unstuck my ankle feels better, give her to me!"
"Duck, Eli," I say, spotting a bullet flying through the sky.
Eli ducks, and I look back at the sheer chaos.
It was horrible. Everyone had some type of weapon, and even people we knew were fighting!
"I'm glad we're not on the front lines," Eli says, looking at me.
"Me too," I say, "Especially since Clove is so nervous she passed out. She's always been a bit off whenever mentioning my altercations. I don't think she likes fights."
"Really? Clove? But she's sassy," Eli says.
"Clove's only sassy because she has to be, that's her layer," I say.
"Ahhh. I had one of those too," Eli says.
"Yeah. The poor thing, she was at her stress limit. Haven't you noticed how scared she's looked all day," I ask.
".. No, I'm sorry, I didn't," Eli admits, "I don't know her well, she hides emotional distress very well."
"She does. I noticed about an hour before it was too late," I admit, "Glowy definitely would've known."
"We need to find a new spot," Eli decides.
Glowy POV
"Where are they," Layla breathes, horrified.
"I-I don't know," I reply, "I think they're all together .."
"Well should we look or stay," asks Valen. We're currently in a barn.
