Captured Chapter Eighteen

       Christopher crawled over to his bag, and ripped out his binoculars. He looked at the man, then the horse, until he spotted the crest os Soleil. "Oh, crap." he muttered silently. He crawled over to Avaele, and shook her awake. Before she could say anything, Christopher clamped his hand over her mouth. "We have to hide, now." Avaele nodded and crawled behind Christopher, carrying the bag. Christopher crawled to a tree, making sure that the man didn't see them. He grabbed the bag from Avaele, and slung it over his shoulder.

"Climb up." he whispered to Avaele. Her eyes widened, and she shook her head. "Do you want to be found not tied up, and be taken to Soleil by someone else?" Avaele didn't have to think about it, and climbed up into the tree like a monkey.

       Christopher watched her, amazed and climbed up after her, with the bag. Avaele saw the man on the horse, and tried not to move. He went around the wheatfeild, looking for something. She figured that he was looking for them. He came up to their camping spot, and saw the put-out fire and the sleeping bags. He turned around and galloped away.

       Avaele let out a sigh, and started to make her way down the tree. She stepped on the hem of her dress, and lost her balance. She caught herself on a branch, and shreiked silently. She struggled and kicked her legs, trying to find a branch, but she couldn't find one.

       She looked up at Christopher, helplessly, then glared at him. He was just sitting there, laughing and smirking. He put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes, relaxing, and smiling smugly. Avaele scowled. Christopher sighed and helped her up. She quickly thought of a plan, and hugged him. He took his hands off of the branch to hug her back, but she pushed him.

       Avaele forgot that her hands were off of the branch too, so Christopher pulled her down with him. Christopher landed on his back, with Avaele on top of him. Avaele scrambled to get off of him, but her foot slipped, and she landed on top of him, again. "Ow." Christopher groaned, and pushed Avaele off of him. She rolled off, next to him.

       "That cloud looks like a bunny." she said nervously, trying to get his mind off of the pain. Avaele sighed, and closed her eyes, enjoying the sun and the wheat swaying in the breeze. Suddenly, the sunlight was gone. She opened her eyes to see Christopher hovering over her. Avaele was scared, but she acted brave.

       Christopher smirked ,"You crush me, I crush you." There was no hiding the fear in Avaele's eyes. Christopher let himself drop, and seeing Avaele flinch, he caught himself. He lowered himself until his nose lightly brush hers. "You're clumsy." he said, annoying her. Avaele glared a him. She kicked his legs, and rolled out of the way, knocking his arm off the ground, which made him fall face first into the dirt.

       Avaele quickly got up, and dusted herself off. Christopher got up, wiping the dirt off of his face. He glared at Avaele. "What was that for?!" he yelled. Avaele stepped back in suprise. "Christopher-" she started. He turned and stormed over to a pile of rocks. He picked one up, and threw it as far as he could. "What is with him storming off and throwing stuff?" Avaele muttered so that Christopher couldn't hear her.

       Avaele sighed, and trudged over to him. "Christopher." she said, placing a hand on his shoulder. Christopher smirked, his back to her. His plan had worked. He took her hand, and grabbed her arms, pulling them behind her back. Before she knew it, Avaele couldn't get out of it. She sighed, trying to get out of Christopher's grasp.

       He chuckled,"You can't beat me, you'll never win." He her go, and she scowled, half joking, half not. She stalked over to him, glaring. She tried to make him look hurt. When his expression finally changed from smug-ness to being sorry, she smirked. Christopher then looked confused. Avaele pulled him down, and kissed him.

       "I win." she said, smugly. Christopher just stood there, trying to calculate what just happened. "Let's go." Avaele said flatly. She turned around and smiled triumphantly.
