We are all gathered around the warm fire for the bitter night, settled upon thick hard logs next to the washing sea shore. It felt like it was getting colder every night time, actually, it is most likely me. Because of that earthquake caused by Colton apparently, we don't have anywhere to go; there is no nearby village as this world we live our lifes is small - almost delicate. No one could possibly get lost.

I found out by my brother, Daius, that he knew everything. He knew the earthquake would happen. He knew Colton Diablo was going to appear one day. He knew why I didn't see the future being an Oriel girl. He knew what I am apparently going to face now in the future. And being told this now, on the spot, pours masses of weight on me - I feel like I am about to melt; I feel betrayed by my own blood.

SLAP!

                   "Daius! How dare you!?" what appears to be Avelyn yelling at the top of her voice towards Daius, her hand had struck the side of his face.

I left my eyes watching the dancing red orange fire while listening to the odd seven people become tensed by Avelyn who had slapped Daius for a reason - she doesn't go up to any stranger nor friend and slap them round the face thats for sure.

At the corner of my lowered gaze I catch a glimpse of Linqwisher's feet bound up, my attention carrys to Linqwish who charges himself in between Daius and Avelyn, his slim arms waving in the midnight sky.

                   "I command you two to stop this non-sense!" he adds to his actions in a rational tone.

Avelyn leaps to where I am sitting - my face drops at her feet as she kneels down to see my eyes, her fingers grabbing a piece on my frindge and tucking it behind my bare ear before she speaks in a suttle reassuring voice, "Daius is lying dear, don't listen to him, do you understand?"

After Daius finishes off rubbing the side of his burning face, his glaring eyes never leaving Avelyn out of sight, however he hears what she is saying; his jaws drop down hollowly before stomping towards us with his arms crossing around his chest. It looks like trouble now...

                   "Avelyn..." he growls under his angry breath. His hand grips Avelyn shoulder and pulls her back slightly, his voice clearing before he chooses his calm voice, "Colton is here. He is at the river cleaning himself."

Confussion continues to boil up within me, nearly closing up to the end as it bottles up tightly.

Aveyln's face immediately flushes to an awkward pink - her eyes glances - her lip twitching. And before asking whats on my mind she dashes away for dear life. God knows where she is going. She will be back.

Some of them chortle like mischievous children that didn't get caught in doing the bad as they watch Avelyn dissappear into the distance.

It looks like the entire galaxy knew about this... They're all reacting like its the end of the world. Why? I've got some questions to ask.

Thinking in silence for a short time I slowly stand up on the spot, my plush pink hair flowing softly at the edge of my shoulder because the gentle wind does what it pleases. I notice Daius eyeing me with a what-are-you-doing-look. They all do, they wonder curiously whilst my gaze floats by.
