Chapter XI~ Just in time, or not?

As May turned to the baggage checks, a figure pulled her to the side.

" Where is the fourth piece located?"

The figure pulled his black hood off to reveal spiky flame-like hair. May gasped.
"Brother?"

The boy laughed.

  "I will follow you if you don't tell me, or I could burn your plane down. Pick one!"

May sighed and started to walk away.

"Leave me alone! Or else!" May remarked.

The boy grinned.

" And, What are you going to do to me? Throw your stinky leaves at me again or accidentally trap yourself in a cage of thorns!"

He sniggered, his voice turning the heads of many walking past to their airport gates.

He put his hood back on and grinned.

May

flashbacked that time when one of her strongest ever spells had gone wrong and trapped her in a hard-escaping thorn cage. It took hours for her to get out from it and she especially did not want to be reminded about when an array of thorns on the bottom of the cage had pushed through her one and only pair of shoes at that time, through her soles, and constantly pricked her feet. May put an unsteady, cold look on her face and sneered at the boy.

"Whatever you do, I am not telling you where it is!" May remarked.

May scurried away after her quick baggage check, her brother inches behind her. She didn't look back, running. She ran to her gate, only having one minute left, and jumped onto the departing plane. May looked back at her brother, from her Window seat. Her brother had made a jump too small and was stuck in custody with the border force. She was relieved.
