The runners apprentice

Chapter 6

Jasmine glared at her young companion from across the dinner table as she sensed she was about to ask another question. In the past week Jasmine had come to realize Annabeth was a curious and determined child and knew that wasn't gonna go away anytime soon. "What" asked Jasmine finally giving in because she knew Annabeth wouldn't be put off. "What" asked Annabeth glancing up at her mentor with curiosity. "I said what" asked Jasmine again slightly getting annoyed. Annabeth studied her mentor she could tell Jasmine was unhappy and yet had no idea why. "What" asked Annabeth again not understanding. "Don't answer my question with other questions do you understand" asked Jasmine annoyed.
"No" said Annabeth answering the inevitable looking at Jasmine's angry features. Annabeth had come to realize she had a way of getting under Jasmine's skin without realizing it. Jasmine sighed "you were about to ask me a question what was it" she asked with a glare. "What makes you think I was about to ask a question" challenged Annabeth. "Well do you are don't you" asked Jasmine raising a eyebrow while sipping her coffee. Annabeth sighed not for the first time did she realize she would never have the last word with Jasmine. "I was wondering what do Runners do exactly" said Annabeth in a defeated tone. "What" asked Jasmine looking up at her again.
Annabeth glared thinking let's not go down this dangerous road again and repeated her question.
Truth be told Jasmine had heard her the first time but just wanted to see how Annabeth would go about it. Annabeth looked at her mentor in question really hoping she didn't have repeat it. "Curious are you" asked Jasmine looking at her keenly. Before Annabeth could respond Jasmine was already standing up. "Let me show you" said Jasmine putting on her boots.
