The Adventure of the Totems (Varian x Hugo)

Fighting leads to Distractions 10#

(Yong's POV)

How had I managed to get myself captured? I lay back in my bed thinking about earlier that day as the Carvan rocks back and forth, I can hear Nuru and Azzy mumbling above me and Varian and Hugo talking through the walls, who do i have to talk to? the freaking raccon! and even he's reluctant to listen to me. I turn over on my side watching the lamp hanging up swing back and forth.

I don't know when I feel asleep all I remember is appearing in an a dark room, a picture appeared in front of me it was moving like I was watching something happen through someones eyes "where to next Hugo?" Varian's voice rings as if i'm talking to him. The image moves to face Hugo, its dark, the front of the caravan? am I watching their conversation?

"we have to stop in the next town which looks like..." Hugo trailed off, I move close to the image, "Hugo?" Varian asks, the boy with glasses looks up "looks like were going to Bayangor" The blonde answers sheepishly the scene fades out switching to a new pair of eyes, gray hair fall in front- no, no, Donella "those little brats are going to pay, once i have all the totems to the libary well be, Viggo send a watch group to spy on our friends, keep them in line" she says "yes miss" Viggo accepts the orders.

I fall holding my breath as I wake up with a jolt, taking a deep breath, light flowing through the roof window, I clutch my chest "whoa Yong you ok?" Azzy asks worried and I swear I see a blue haze fly out the door. "yeah, just a nightmare" I mumble out Azzy pats my shoulder "rough driving can do that to ya" she says ruffling my hair before walking outside I follow her shortly after.

Once outside I see Nuru filling up the Cantinas with water from the moving stream i go to offer my help but she turns me away "i've got it Yong" she smiles, i nod when i spot Hugo i rush over to the tree him and varian are picking apples from "I can help" i offer they look at each other then at me "um i think we can handle this Yong" Hugo states, my smile falters but before either of my teammates can notice, i'm walking away into the grassy feild.

I walk away from the camp sight, "they treat me like i'm a god damn kid" i groan kicking a rock down the hill, i turn around watching my friends from afar "they would do just fine with out me" i mumble wiping tears from my eyes, i sit down on the grass taking a deep breath, my dads taught me from a young age, if i'm ever in emotional distress to sit down and breath.

I'm really bad about remmbering to do so, but when i do i feel more relaxed i cross my legs and close my eyes before taking a deep breath and letting some stray tears fall. "Yong! we're leaving!" Nuru shouts i open my eyes and wipe my face with my sleeve "coming!" i shout back brushing the grass off my pants.

The ride to Bayangor is going smoothly. Azzy is letting Nuru braid her hair I'm finishing up the toaster when the carvan came to an abrupt hault causing the toaster to fly out of my hands and smash into tiny peices on the ground. i sit frozen in disbelief "what was that?" Azzy ask "lets go check it out" Nuru says standing up helping Azzy up, "you coming Yong?" Azzy asks "go ahead" i mumble, she shrugs and walks out with Nuru.

Once the door shuts i fall back on my bed, all that work for nothing? "its not like they would care that you fixed it" a voice says i sit up abruptly "whos there?" i state to the air, but i get no responce. "i must be losing it" i mumble. i decide to join the others outside walking up i see a broken wheel and an annoyed Varian "we don't have an extra wheel" Hugo sighs "well i told you to pack it" Varian scolds his boyfriend.

"now lets not point blame" Nuru states, She is the reasonable one, and here i am on the side lines. I hold my touge and watch. "looks like were camping early tonight" Azzy states and drags Nuru away to gather the stuff from the Caravan I go to follow when Nuru pushes me to the side "we got it, can you keep the other two from fighting?" she asks, I sigh but agree heading over to find the two boyfriends bickering back and forth.

"stop Fighting" I state but they don't hear me "Guys! stop Fighting this isn't helpful" I shout over their yells "why don't you mind your own bussnines Yong, we don't need a kid's help" Hugo shoots back before going back to fighting with his boyfriend about who did what, I watch them feeling myself break inside I walk off wipping the tears from my eyes looking over towards Nuru but she's to busy flirting with Azzy to notice, she would probably agree with Hugo anyways.

"you look upset" said a whisper, I just wipe the water from my eyes, "yeah my best friends in the world, my only friends in the world are treating me like a child" I shoot back, "well I can help with that" said the whisper, I turn my head and see blue smoke forming a person, a woman with long hair and it looks like tools on her belt, she almost looks like Varian's mom but that's ridiculous. "who are you?" I ask "that doesn't matter what matters is I want to help" she says with a wide smile, I know I should run, shout, scream, tell the others that 'hey theirs a scary ghost lady that's saying she'll help me' but all logical thinking has left my mind my broken heart has taken over.

"sure, i'll accept your help, what should I do?" I ask she smirks "just stand still that's all I ask" she hums, I straighten up my posture "like this?" I ask she nods "now let go" she whispers. I unclench my fist causing the world to go black, I messed up but i'm to tired to care...........
