THE KORA CHRONICLES: Her Chosen Fate

night mares #2

We hadn't met anything yet out of the ordinary for a while, only that it was going to be harder on the way, how bad I wanted to know everyone's nightmare while fearing the existence of my own....

We had to keep our channels closed but the fact that neither Mulan nor Luna could keep their nightmares at bay made us doubt ourselves. ..lost in my thoughts I stumbled onto a root that was sticking out of the ground almost falling on my face, I got caught on my shameful trip to the Ground by a soft but strong hand which I could guess would be Julian's

"Thanks" I murmured without turning around

"That was pretty insane" I heard him say behind me
"What was??" Confused to the pit... I asked
"Asking me to trust you"

I managed a tireful chuckle or a hearty croak I'd say

"I was kindly asking you not to die by the flames"
"It wouldn't be your loss" he flat lined

I took in a deep breathe as I searched for places to concetrate on

"Not mine, Estevan's "

He didn't say a word and I didn't look like I wanted a conversation so he headed past me catching up with Luna....hell are they alike

"Remember where we were this time two or three weeks ago??" Jay said
"Huh" I scoffed "well...I guess I was trying to get Dylan to like me" thinking of it ....I felt pretty stupid about it
"it's not your fault it didn't work"
"Boy I know...I never even blamed myself for the lousy fall out....he ain't the man I thought he was...or could be" I scrunched up my nose and Jay laughed
"When we get out of here you're gonna have a different kind of taste in men"
"What do you mean" I turned to look at him square in the face
"You're going to find your prince charming out there"

I frowned and raised an eyebrow...the scornful look on his face told me he thought I had a thing for either of the princes

"Oh no no hell nah!" I exclaimed "you're gonna have to look for warriors then"

His eyes widened and I laughed

"Got you"

He rolled his eyes

"Fine...I like her" he said as he looked at Mulan
"Like...is an understatement" I jumped in
"More I guess"
"Admit it"
"I..you know"
"Admit it"
"it's not even that-"
"Just admit it for God's sakes"
I almost screamed at his face

"Even if he does doesn't change the fact that Mulan is his greatest greatest greatest greatest greatest greater greater greater greater great great great grandmother"

An annoying voice chirped in....Lucifera walked past us her wings looking like scarecrow rugs

"Yeah whatev" I said above a whisper

I turned back to Jay and his head was all hanging

"Did that really get to you"
"No...I don't really care how old she is or if she's immortal and I'm not"
"Then what is it"
"We'll we make it through this alive??"
"Yeah. ..we will"

I reluctantly answered though I was not sure myself ....I ,like everyone here needed assurance that we would indeed make it out of here alive. ...

"My legs are about to give out" a tired Dorothea panted

"Is that YOU complaining??" Lucifera asked a bit offended. ...on her terms she was the one who was supposed to complain since her wings looked like a tattered rug made of chicken feathers

Dorothea knew better than to answer that and fell silent again...the ground shook for what felt like a nanosecond

"Did anyone feel that??" I asked
"What??" Luna asked alarmed
"I think the ground just shook"
"If you walk for long hours with no food and water your legs are very likely to SHAKE!" She rolled her eyes and turned away
