Spirit Animals: Saving The Evertree

Sleep

Meilin sighed. She had taken Rollan to the infirmary, done her share of the work on deck, and now she needed a well deserved rest. She lied down on her cot which was on the other side of Rollan's former cot and a cot away from Conner's. She let her hair down and closed her eyes exhausted from the day's work.

"Meilin!" Conner called.

Meilin opened her eyes and groaned with annoyance.

"Sorry to wake you." Conner said walking to her cot. "It's time to check on Rollan."

Meilin let out an agitated sigh. Usually she would be happy to be checking on Rollan, but right now she needed to rest. "Ok." She grumbled. "Coming." She retied her hair and made her way to the infirmary after Conner and Briggan, who happily loped beside him. They followed the same caretaker from before to the same nurse who was tending to Rollan.

"Meilin!" He cried with relief. "Your here!"

"Of course." Meilin said standing beside his cot. "Just as I said."

"I'm so bored." He complained.

"Well I can't do anything about that." Meilin said.

"I know..."

Meilin rubbed her temple. She couldn't think straight right now. "Look," She said sighing. "It's been a long day and I'm tired." She didn't have to say the rest. He nodded understanding, his eyes clouding with disappointment.

"Bye." He whispered.

Meilin nodded and made her way back to the main room after thanking the nurse. She found her cot and again she laid herself down letting her hair fall out of its cord. At last. Sleep.

"Ug, your here." Said a disgusted voice. Meilin opened her eyes once more to find Kirat frowning at her and Carbaro slinking beside him.

"So, how's your boyfriend?" He sneered.

"Fine." Meilin replied not even bothering to correct him of the fact that Rollan wasn't her boyfriend. It was no use.

"He's shot pretty bad huh?" Kirat pressed.

"Uh huh." Meilin mumbled.

"Sucks for him. He deserves it for what he did to my home." Kirat scowled.

Meilin gritted her teeth. If she wasn't so tired, she would've punched his teeth out. "It wasn't his fault that the parasite took over your palace. It was Zerif. He's behind it all." She hissed.

"Of course. Like I know who that is." Kirat snickered.

Meilin rolled we eyes. This was hopeless.

"You know, I'm just has annoyed as you are." He said. "I was just fine before you greencloaks came into my life. I was practically a prince before!" Carbaro growled.

"Hi Kirat. Hi Meilin." Conner said entering. Kirat gave him a brief wave. Carbaro snarled at Briggan who barked.

"Hi Conner." Meilin said simply. I'm never getting to sleep, she thought.

Conner walked across the room to his cot and Kirat to his, which happened to be next to Conner's. Briggan growled as he followed and Carbaro snarled back. Meilin sighed. Rollan was lucky he didn't have to put up with this. Meilin closed her eyes hoping to block everything out. She hoped Abeke, Tokoda, Tasha, and Shane were close to defeating the Wyrm. Suddenly, she sat up with realization. Then silently, she made her decision and smiled to herself.

She was going after the Wyrm. Starting tomorrow.
