“Get up. Try again.”
I was frustrated, gave a cry of anger, jumped up and stabbed my finger at his neck. His eyes widened and he buckled and fell to the ground in a heap.
“Uncle! Uncle Diablo, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry!” I cried out and fell to my knees by him.
Moments later he groaned, “No, Erin, no, that was good. That was very good.”
Tears streamed down my cheeks and I leaned into a tree and curled my knees into my chest and sobbed.
CHAPTER 22
I must have fallen asleep because when I opened my eyes, light was streaming through the trees and my body was stiff as a board. They didn’t come looking for me.
Maybe it was for the best. Maybe I was wrong to trust wolves again. Maybe I should have ran the second I found out she was a wolf. Were they all the same?
I didn’t want to think so but I was scared that they were.
“Erin!” I heard and I became paralyzed and sunk deeper into the side of the tree. They were looking for me. I wiped my eyes to get rid of any proof of crying and swayed to my feet. How much did I trust them?
If they wanted me dead they would have left me for the children of Asmodeus. Kenna would have left me to suffocate on the gas that first time. Josh wouldn’t have killed the vampire in the forest when he scared me. I would be dead if they wanted me dead.
“Kenna?” I called back, perhaps it was a mistake, but some part of me didn’t care either.
“Erin!” she came out where I could see and she relaxed when she saw me, “You’re okay!”
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have…,” I started but she ran over and hugged me.
“Shut up. I’m the one who’s sorry. I had no reason to start snapping like that. You were right. We can’t very well find Garion if we’re dead. We’ll just be careful while we’re here,” she said and released me, “Except maybe next time you shouldn’t run off…when I couldn’t find you I thought…”
“Ya, I know that was pretty…child-like of me. I’m sorry,” I apologized, “But I really didn’t mean to upset you. I really do want to find Garion. If you and Josh care about him so much, he deserves his freedom.”
“Thank you, Erin,” she sighed and furrowed her brow, “You were here all night?”
“All night? I suppose so,” I answered.
“You fell asleep,” it wasn’t a question, but an exclamation of disbelief.
I nodded and felt my cheeks fill with color and I cleared my throat, “I didn’t even realize it. So I think so.”
“I thought Asmodeus had found you or that you were dead and I was blaming myself and Josh said I needed to relax even though he looked pretty upset himself and---we should probably get back to him. He stayed at the cabin in case you came back…,” she let out a low breath.
“I’m sorry,” I said again.
“Hey, I would have done it too. Except I would have done a better job of hiding,” she smiled.
