~ Part 14- Ice ~
I wrapped Scarlett up in a light blue sarong. It hid most of her glow. We couldn't have anyone noticing her. They'd realize what she was. What I was. We were Jumpers now. We had to become Runners as well.
"Hurry, Scarlett. This way," I guided her to my small, squat house on the edge of the town of Silver. I opened the door and ushered her inside.
"We are in a lot of trouble now. Aren't we?" Scarlett asked me as she removed the sarong.
"Yeah," I answered. We were bushed from the hurried trip over the divide. So I showed her to the bed and we fell asleep. A tangle of arms and legs, a happy mess. Knowing when we awoke we would need to run. As far away as possible, and search for Sanctuary. But for now, we were a content bundle of blankets and warmth. And that's all I've ever wanted.
