Chapter 3: Harriett
That was horrible. I hate boys. Just because we girls cry doesn't mean that we are weak. Jeez. He is so stupid I hate him! Anyway, I'm thinking about going to my village friend's place but you see we have history. He was the first person I remember being my friend and Our parents were friends before they died. He and I also learned how to fight like pros together but, he always teaches me new strategies like the one I used on the attacker when Stefan was hurt. I guess that you could say we're the best of friends. Besides Stefan ,he's my bestest friend.
“ Were are we going?” I just remembered that Stefan was coming with me.
“ To a friends” I replied
“ Who?”
“ Someone “
“Who?”
“ Why to you need to know” I said turning around and making him bump into me. I just noticed that he is a whole head taller than me. Well muscled too and with the rays of light shining on him like that it made his light tan and dirty blond hair shine. His eyes were ice blue but they don't freeze you under a glare they make you feel warm. I turned so that I wouldn't be starring. I DON'T like him I thought. “Chip's house” I replied suddenly.
“ Who's Chip ?” he asked
“ You'll see when we get there”
“ Who names their kid Chip? “
“ Well obviously his parents.” I said through clenched teeth. He was being a butt face right now.
“ Ookaay.... well, what are we going to do there?”
“ We could ask to stay there for the night and then ask for his help.... you know to feed us with weapons and food. Chip can help us with the weapons he's got a whole bunch of them.” I said coolly.
“ Sounds good.” There was a long pause then he said “ So how come you never told me that you were a really good warrior? Who trained you ? And why didn't you ever mention Chip?” That was unexpected. What do I tell him? And why does he want to know?
“ Uh..... Chip taught me some and we took a class together, and we make up our own moves” I said
“ How old is Chip?” he asked. Which was also unexpected
“ Our age. Sixteen. Why?”
“ Just wanted to know.” he said coolly.
We passed the old candy shop that I used to go to when I was younger. Mother never let me eat candy so, one day when I was twelve I came to the village in my peasant clothes to trade the rabbits me and Chip caught that day. I asked Chip for some money and we went to eat candy together. That was the first time that I ever had candy. I know right what kind of person doesn't have candy until their like twelve.
We still had three days of walking a head of us to get to Chip's house. I really think that I can't go on much farther with out something to eat. “ Hey want to stop and eat?” I asked Stefan. He looked hungry too. And tried. I think that we should stop and I can help him see how his wound is holding up. It's amazing that he hasn't showed some kind of hurt in that area. He really looks fine but guys never ever show there weakness that easily when there are girls around or anyone for that matter.
“ Sure” he answered
“Okay but, not here. We need to go were no one will recognize us” I thought of were to go. Where should we go? Woods is the best place so far. Well maybe not because they might think we are hiding so they might be there. A meadow. It's perfect because I mean there it's clear and no one is there. The attackers won't look there because it's kinda a wild open space so they might think that we are in the woods hidden. “ the meadow out side the village. It's just ten minutes away.” I said out loud then blushing at the thought of us two alone in a meadow.
“ Okay” he said, ” as long as I can rest and take a nap.” after that was said I took the lead once more and headed to the meadow.
