The 3 Swords

Chapter 17 Caris's POV

That was it! Sabrina is going crazy by somehow getting all of these cuts on her hand, Juliet is acting more normal! I’m also freaking out because in this level you don’t need more aggressiveness you need to be stealthier so you won’t die fast in a fight and I have been practicing for hours this week and when I come home to our hut house know one’s home! I have a feeling that Sabina hates me and she also has some problems too, of course she a little bit shorter than me and Juliet but at least she has curves while Juliet and I look like freakin chop sticks!

***A Week Later***

                I woke up that next day and relaxed a little, today was Saturday. I got out of bed and threw on a pair of jeans and a green T-shirt and ran out the door just to see Sabrina leaving but she wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon “Sabrina, come back please.” She turned her head “Why should I?” She asked coldly I knew this was going to happen “Because we are going to the mall for some family bonding time.” I said coolly. Sabrina and started to turn back when I yelled “JULIET!”  Then from down the hall, Juliet came running and screaming and completely tackled Sabrina. “OW Juliet, get off me!!!” Sabrina yelled. “NO I WANT TO GO TO THE MALL! Juliet screamed she pinned down Sabrina just like I showed her by reading books. “Well Sabrina,” I asked her “you don’t have a choice get up and, wait…” I walked up to her and examined her arm “WHAT THE CRAP DO YOU HAVE ON YOU’R ARM!?!” I screamed Sabrina shook off Juliet jumped up and said “I will be right out to go to the mall sister dears.” And ran to her room, I was speechless I don’t know if I should yell or scold or WHO KNOWS!

                Once we got into the car I didn’t trust Juliet or Sabrina to dive so I put the car on auto pilot and turned on the radio, most of it was fuzzy so we went with “Blow” By Kesha or Ke$ha or whatever. I tuned back to Sabrina who was probably wondering about Bubbles…I still think Sabrina throws powder at us which makes us high and we imagine unicorns but back to what we’re doing. “Sabrina?” She looked at me with solemn eyes hard to read but to me like always it came easy, she was mostly thinking about three things at that moment, Matt, Bubbles, and the creepy ghost that says that she’s a thing called a caster. “Hmm?” “I know why you have the tattoos.” I said casually “OH, OH I KNOW PICK ME CARIS!!!” I sighed “Yes, Juliet.” “Okay, well Sabrina is facing issues and she realized that she’s short and,” “Juliet that’s enough.” I interrupted, she started to pout but then found out that the sky looked pretty. “It’s because she’s this thing called a caster apparently.” Sabrina’s eyes widened “Plus, if she wanted a tattoo it would be of Bubbles.” We were all silent until we got to the mall.

                The mall was great at first we found all these cool things and with $60.00 to spend until Sabrina found a big pillow in the shape of a unicorn and knocked out the store manager, Juliet found a huge candy shop and took all the candy in a trash bag that she thankfully paid for the trash bag and I got nothing just bills.

**************20 minutes later*******************************************************

                We got back to our hut house with Sabrina holding bags from “Hot Topic”, the unicorn, and a couple of other bags, Juliet getting hopped up on candy, and me explaining the bills to the Officials. When we all got back I slumped down on the couch looking around, there was a tiny sink with one burner and an oven then next to it was a table and then the little hallways with our little rooms and bathrooms, then in the middle of all the stuff we have is a bookshelf. Then Sabrina walked in with Juliet pulling along a T.V. I looked at them with my “Really” stare. “What?” Sabrina asked “I wanted to watch the Strawberry Shortcake thing. So I didn’t have to give a speech of how wrong that is and I’m glad because it will knock some sense into those to.

I decided to read my book on how to be a perfect ninja, until I heard a knock in the door. Great; it was probably the Officials telling us our punishment. I sighed and opened the door; it was Sam, Matt, and André. “Ah, hi Sabrina and Juliet are watching a movie right now.” I said and smiled like nothing bad was going on. Then the worst possible thing happened; Juliet came screaming with her trash bag full of candy screaming “M-MY CANDY, M-M-MY CANDY!” then ran back into Sabrina’s room with me still standing there smiling. “Why don’t you come in?” I suggested and they piled on to the couch “We need to talk with all three of you.” Sam spoke up, he looked tired and aggravated. “Sabrina, Juliet come on we need to talk to Sam Matt and André.” “Aww but it’s almost over!” Sabrina called back just then Juliet came in yelling again “M-M-MY CANDY!!” André jumped up and tried to calm down Juliet who was in the fetal position rocking back and forth still chanting those words.

Sabrina walked in and sat down beside me, “So, what are we talking about?” she asked “Well we have our fist quest all together.” Sam replied still looking at me. In my mind I was freaking out I’m still learning new stuff, WHY! “YES!!” Sabrina yelled “I will beat the snot out of anyone who comes near me.” Sabrina demonstrated punching but then her roundhouse kick nocked the bookshelf over on to Juliet. “JULIET!” yelled André; he completely threw off the bookshelf which smashed a whole in the wall. (Great, another bill.)  After thinking everything through I finally agreed to go. It took us thirty minutes to pack up then we set off to the Officials to get the Quest then get our ride.

Well it turns out that we as a team are going to go kill this guy who has I very long name so we call him Bad Kong, and he has been a threat to this camp and I got the GPS map (ah technology, what would we do without you) and set off on horses, of course Sabrina looked all high and mighty on Bubbles and Dotty, I sent him to a farm were Bubbles goes (I still think she makes us high!) and we got a little wagon for some reason I’m going to use most of it as fire wood. It was nightfall when we set off; I nervously glanced at the GPS every so often, it was all so complicated until I put it like Dora we go through the woods, past a large grassy plain, and then to the big building!  Well if you put it like that then yes it’s not so complicated. After we got into the forest Juliet passed out on her horse and kept falling off so we set up camp on a little hill so we could see the stars.

Once we set up camp and everyone was fast asleep I sat by the fire and watched it crackle and burn the wood. Sam came up right next to me and looked at me; I looked straight at the fire not saying a word. He was wondering what was wrong but he didn’t ask that. Sam’s hand moved and gently lifted up my chin so I would look at him but I pushed him away. “Just, leave me alone for right now okay.” I whispered and pushed his hand away. Instead of getting up and leaving he scooted closer to me “You know you can’t do this on your own.” Sam faintly whispered “That’s why I’m still here, I will always be right here.” I decided to look up at him to find him kissing me. If we blew up at that moment I wouldn’t have cared all I knew is that I would’ve died a happy girl. Then after a while I fell asleep on Sam’s chest with everything almost at peace.
