General Shaif quickly stood up and went inside. Eager to leave us alone and see if we were going to be friends or kill each other. I stood eyeing the forest. I needed to check it out. See how long it went on for, see exactly what the layout around the mansion was. What the best escapes were, how long they would take, how to get through them, what we would need. But most importantly I needed to get away from Kallum.

Everyone had risen awkwardly and were making polite conversation with each other Blaine and Autumn were talking softly. They really were adorable. Lane had apparently found a place with weapons and him and Heathe were trying out swords. What?! Swords? Cool. I headed towards the woods and felt my wrist grabbed. I turned startled who the hell? I stopped dead. My heart freezing over. Too handsome Kallum was staring at me his face smug but his eyes intense. Burning. I swallowed-twice.

"Hey beautiful." He smiled. My heart stopped. Any hesitation I felt disappearing. I chopped his hand away spun and knocked his legs out from under him. I pinned his arms by my thighs and sat on his chest. The position could have been provocative given any other time. I was going for the kill.

"Don't touch me. Don't look at me. Don't talk to me. Don't kiss me! Don't think about me and never ever enter my room without being invited again. EVER." I finished through clenched teeth my voice coming out low but angry more like a growl. I was impressed. I heard Lane growl behind me. Yeah you finish with this guy. Kallum stopped smiling but his eyes were still burning trying to see more than what I wanted him too. I jumped off him in one smooth motion and started running towards the forest as I did I could hear people murmuring behind me.

"I have never seen someone move so fast. or look so angry." They giggled the last part. Was that Blondie? Yeah she had an annoying high voice it couldn't have been anyone else. Lane yelled for me to stop before trying to punch Kallum who quickly dodged it. Blaine stepped forward a big smile on his face. he was happy to finally get to beat him up. I would have felt bad about him being jumped by two different people but I was still hurting. The others were looking around like we were all crazy. I laughed. Yeah I fricking started Jerry Springer but I didn't care I finally hit the trees and with that freedom. I pushed myself harder jumping, lunging, hurdling and pulling myself up with branches to try and dodge the slippery forest floor and its many obstacles.

Harder.

Harder.

I ignored the slight burning of my throat and legs and pushed harder. I knew I was going to hurt myself if I didn't stop but I didn't care.

I went through the last six months in my head. Specifically my time with Kallum. Trying to analyze everything. From how he would look at me to how he treated me, to how he talked to me. I didn't have to analyze how he touched me. There was no doubt in my mind he was attracted to me...or that I was attracted to him. I cringed. That was the part I hated the most. The fact that I still, even after everything, wanted him-that I was practicly running myself into a grave to get the desire out of my system-was what made me sick. I pushed the tears that threatened to take over back, the nasua on the other hand wasn't as easy. I darted behind a large boulder and threw up. Oh gross. I shouldn't have stuffed in breakfast then tried to kill myself via running.

I felt a warm hand rubbed my back.

Months of training kicked in and I spun, grabbed the wrist and spun it in a circle moving the culprit with it. Dexter quickly spun with the hand and pushed me up to the boulder, his back against my chest to keep me from moving.
