Between worlds

Chapter 12: Uncanny Connection

Kalenra paced angrily around the rock. She would do anything to be home again. Back to Ralendray. Back to safety, and most importantly her little sister. Lendra. But Kanden just wouldn't push the girl hard enough. They needed answers but it was almost like he was reluctant to find them.

She grew tired of waiting and strode toward the girl like an angry cat. Kanden had gone to fetch some water so now was her chance. He wouldn't be angry if she had answers by the time he got back, right? Or at least she hoped so. He might be her leader but he was clearly a foolish one.

The girl seemed to have been waiting for her. She lifted up her head, a bored look on her face. Her hands bound by a long rope were still safely tied to the large rock. Kalenra walked forward triumphantly she knew she would win. This girl was obviously all talk. She might have a few tricks up her sleeve but honestly? She was just a rabbit stuck in a trap.

"So, have you come to finish me off then?" Ailiyah said calmly staring her down.

"You should know I'm not quite as kind as Kanden is." Kalenra said slowly pulling out her knife.

Ailiyah sighed and rolled her eyes. "And you should know that I'm not an Idiot. I can untie a Slip Knot in my sleep." And with that she swung her hands at Kalenra's face hitting her square in the nose. She was knocked out in a manner of seconds. And with that Ailiyah leaped to her feet throwing the useless pile of rope to the ground and dashed for the trees.

Her legs pumped furiously pushing her harder. She knew she was going to make it she just- Bam! someone had come from the right and had smacked right into her. They collided with a large tree then rolled to the ground.

In an instant her opposer was on top of her pushing her shoulders and arms into the ground. And before she could even try to kick up with her legs her opposers hard knees had already collided with them. She glanced up to find Kanden's smirking face and gold eyes.
