The Fall (The Training Grounds)

Poisoned

(The pic to the right is a Siren)

::::::::ASHLYNNA'S POV::::::::

" Are you sure you know where your going?" I asked, tripping again.

"Yes Ash, I know where Im going." The deep voice replied. Aakar reached back and help steady me before I face planted into the roots of another tree. "Are you sure you know how to walk?" He asked, mocking me.

" Once upon a time, there was an ass named Aakar who picked on innocent girls." My voice sounding like a narrator of a movie. Aakar turned to stick his tounge out at me and I grinned. "Your such a child." I told him, tripping again. We finally reached a clearing and I saw a small pond.

"Thank god we got here. I could have sworn you were going to break something."

"I swear to god Im going to hit you." I said, he raised his hands in deafet and opened his canteen to fill it. But before the lips of the canteen could touch the water, I yanked him back ignoring his sounds of frusteration. Once i found my first aid kit I held up a small box of tablets. Aakar squinted at the tiny letters so I brought it closer.

" Lyfoird?" He read off. I nodded (lyfoird is made up... :) )

" If the water is safe, it wont show up, if it isnt.... We're dead. Plus it also cleans the water. But we still will have to boil it just to be safe, you never know what can be in the water. " Aakar rolled his eyes and I made a small puddle of water then dropped in a tablet. The water turned a deep black then went clear. "Its clean." I said, then screamed. Where the water had touched my hands, red blisters appeared, burning into me. Orange.

" Shit shit shit shit!" He yelled at me.

" Cursing at me is NOT going to help me right about now! Get the first aid kit and grab the burn cream." He complied cursing occasionally then rubbed the burn cream onto my hands. I felt the coolness of the cream overtake the pain, the blisters went away but the redness refused to budge.

"What. The. Fuck?"  He asked me while looking at the cherry red colour that was now my hands.

"Told ya you never knew what was in the water. The water had been diluted with pure acid. For some reason it didnt show up with the Lyfoird."

" Are you going to be ok?" Concer was pure in his voice, his eyes searching mine.

"Yes, they just need bandaged and the burn cream should be put on every 2 hours. If we could find Aloe that would be even better. But the strange part is, the blisters shouldnt have gone away, the acid would have burnt right through my hands..... Theres something wrong with this place." My voice was somehow calm even though my hands were killing me.

" Well the only strange thing Ive seen was a woman singing in the water and you with your acid shit. I had ear plugs in because the birds were to loud, but I could some what hear her and all I wanted to do was go with her. That was when I was down at the lake, I havent seen any since."

"Sirens. Thats what the woman was called. They sing and if you listen, they bring you to the bottom of the lake or river or ocean and drown you then eat you." Aakar shivered, realizing how lucky he was to have had ear plugs in. I wanted to tell him so bad about the Lycan, but I wasnt ready yet. Even though I felt safe with Aakar, I couldnt help but think of the mother and her two infants.

" Ok then..." He said, slapping his legs before standing. I guickly wrapped my hands up in the guaze then follwed him over to my pack. " So now we need to get to the lake. Hope fully thats not poisened." He grinned at me and I felt my heart flutter.

' Ah shit.' I thought to my self as Aakar began walking through the trees. I quickened my step tp keep up with him, almost tripping. ' You decide to crush on him in a frikin death arena, but your a bitch to him at school! What the fuk girl, you need to get your shit straight. No strong emotions for him would be great right about now, especially if he dies or something.....' It was pathetic, even just the thought of losing him hurt. I couldnt believe myself, I was falling for the schools Man Whore, even though I originally had hated him. Man was I screwed up.
