Enchantment

Long Ass Journey

Barely our second night away from Evelyn's house and we're all ready to rip each other's throats.

Awe friendship, is it not delightful?

No sarcasm needed Zayden. I growl.

Everyone is irritated, tired, annoyed and sick of seeing the same faces. If I weren't in the same state of mind, I'd feel pity for our Creature Warriors who give us worried stares. Poor them, having to witness their great leaders in their worst mood.

"If you don't shut up-"

"Then what? Do something,"

"I swear."

"I will hurt you and laugh afterwards."

"Nobody here likes you,"

"You're mean, asshole."

"Fuck you,"

"Your mother."

"Yeah, your face, not into it."

"Don't breathe my air."

"Die in a hole,"

The harsh insults never ended and hurtful words were spat at everyone. It was like this from dawn to dusk.

Aren't teenagers' fun! But no compared to the terror in my head, Zayden took great joy with our attitude. And the only one who could hear him was me, which just darkened my mood.

We had stopped in a patch of green grass for the night and were settling down for some sleep. After setting up the proper security around our makeshift campsite we were able to start cooking and relaxing. Naturally the others were at their usual bickering. I tended to bite my tongue and resist the urge to slay them with my superior insults. Also, most seemed to like picking on Reason and he was quick to silence them but I kept him close because Kyle has already gotten a fireball out of Reason.

I was absently holding Reason's hand while eating lightberries when Vivian suddenly screamed, "STOP IT!" in complete shock, we shift our gaze to her. "Stop it, all of you! Do you not hear yourselves?"

"Vivian," Zane's tone had that calming edge, trying to use his angel mojo to manipulate Vivian into relaxing.

"No! All you guys have done is argue and I'm sick of it. No more, knock it off and grow up!" she threw her apple to the floor and marched away into the protection of the trees.

"Why does the term 'grow up' keep coming around?" Kyle asks, frowning.

"People assume that since we're princes and princesses that we're all mature and such." Jordan sighed and sat down on a chair made of grass he had produced.

I could feel the atmosphere darken. Sometimes I loathe this, with all my power I am unable to make my friends feel actual happiness without manipulating their emotions. I may be the strongest force Light has to offer but I am useless when it comes to my closest friends. What makes this worse is I can sense everything inside them and all the Enchantains. My world has been tainted by Darkness and sometimes I find it difficult to not slip under its clenches like the rest. How can you find the sun when the blackest clouds are blocking it?

Easy, you become the sun. Sunlight doesn't have to project from the outside as long as it radiates from within. Zayden commented.

What will you do when I become intimate with Reason? If I do, that is.

Zayden made a choking sound, I know I said I will never leave you, but for that, I think I may need a vacation. For now, it is time for another motivating speech, little wave.
