Chapter 18

Meg was at school and me, well, I mainly just hung around a small cave and day dreamed about the others. The other day, Brice sent me a letter that almost made me regret leaving the others.

{PUFFLE FLASH BACK!}

I stole the mail from Meg, making her yell in surprise. "Sucks to be short, yeah?" I snickered down at the angry 9 year old child. Me being 14 almost 15 I was taller than her by a long shot. "Aw, screw this. I'm going to the market." Satisfied, I flipped threw the mail - mainly random stuff - until my hand hit unusually dry paper. As I looked closer, I noticed it was Brice's overly light script replying to my idea.

Danny/Kana,

Gage is a wreck. Him and Lee have been at it more and more. Ya know what, I'm just going to send a drawing. Landon did it, not me.

Rolling my eyes I opened the neatly folded paper, yelling in surprise. The portrait was well drawn, showing of some of Gage I never wanted to see. He appeared split in two. Half of him was pain-stricken and weak, i knew it was Gage because of his gray eyes. The other half was twisted in anger and was clawing at Gage like he was a chain keeping a murder-crazy dog from running free. I tucked the drawing into my coat pocket, grabbed some ink, a quill, and some paper and scribbled out a response explaining I'm getting tickets to the Nether, and they aren't going to change my mind.

{PUFFLE BACK OVER}

Not caring, I threw the letter into the fire, grabbed my ticket, and flew/ran to the ports. I hope Meg know's where I'm going.

{few hours later}

Gagging from the heat, I nearly tripped over Brice, who was ever so kind as too grab my pack and almost allow met o fall into lava. "Are you sure about this?"

"No, but I ain't leaving without doing something." Brice looked at me in surprise as I shrunk down to human form, my jacket engulfing me. Tired, i pulled it off so my gray short sleeved shirt could relieve me of some heat. I sprayed on a fire resistant potion and immediatly felt better. Stuffing the jacket in my pack, i used some magic to turn my pants into shorts.

"Good luck". Brice looked at me with pity, giving me the feeling Gage was worse than before.
