What happens in the woods stays in the woods

Chapter 20: Kristin

Chapter 20

Kristin's POV

"Stupid, stupid, stupid!"

I yelled at no one in particular.

"Well, someone is in a bad mood."

Cole smirked, making me even more annoyed than I already was....stupid ginger.

"I'm not in the mood right now, Cole."

I said.

"Fine, just thought I should tell you, we've gone far enough, their not going to find us."

"Oh?" I said "And how would you know that?"

I asked.

I didn't trust Cole. We had just met him and I thought Jared, and Grace were insane to trust him that fast. I didn't like the scene that played out after that.

He panicked a little and bit the inside of his cheek.

"I-I just know."

He said.

lair.

I thought.

"Your a horrible liar, Cole even I can tell that."

I said.

I don't know who he his, where he came from, and I don't even know if Cole is his real name.

I sighed and sat down.

"You know what?"

I said

"I don't even care, because if you are betraying me, Cole?"

I gave him the most serious and angry face I could muster.

"I am 15 years old, a water guardian, and can kick your ass in under a second"

I said

I didn't look at him, but I hope, and think he was afraid.

He better be.

I thought again.

"And if you mess with me or any of my friends, I will kill you."

It reached dark faster than I had hoped, Cole, his stupid little ginger self, wasn't speaking to me. I kindly did the same.

I made a small pond of water.

Since I was a water guardian, I could breath underwater. One of the awesome things about being a guardian.

"My names not Cole."

Cole-or not Cole said.

"That was one of my guesses."

I said.

I wasn't really surprised, we had just met the kid, in the woods, and he was attacked (so far as I know).

Cole was surprised.

"So-so you knew?"

He asked, shocked.

"No, I didn't know, but I guessed."

I said.

His face turned sad, and embarrassed.

"Do you want to know my real name?"

He asked.

I shrugged.

"My real name is Ashton."

My eyes widened.

"Why do you have my brothers name?"

I said

"My brother di-died when I was two."

I was getting angry now, my brother, no, no, of all the mixed up things that could happen to me as a guardian.....

"What if I told you that-that your brother was stolen by changelings?"

I almost couldn't hear him, no, no, no, no, no, this can't be happening.

Col-Ashton, walked over to me. He looked at me in the eyes.

"Kristin, what if I told you, I was your brother?"

I blacked out.
