The Haunted Short Stories [Open to requests]

Earning trust

The group had just gotten across a bridge when they spot someone in the tunnel that ran though the hill. "I don't like her magic." Drake announces. "Well she is hurt, so she can't do anything to us." Mia says back as her and Grayson rushed over to the stranger. "Are you Alright?" Mia asks. "Yeah I'll okay." She answers back. "What's your name?" Grayson asks helping her to her feet. "Alex." She says back. "Well your out of mana so you need to rest, we need to set up camp anyway so you can stay with us for now." Drake says and both Mia and Grayson agree. They set up camp on the other side of the tunnel Mia and Grayson sat on there sleeping bags while Alex got her own out. Drake was standing in front of the pile of wood, and within seconds it turned into a fire. He goes and sits down on his own sleeping bag. "So Alex what's your story." Mia asks. "Why is your magic similar to HIS?" Drake asks out of the blue. "Well im HIS niece, but listen I hate him probably even more!" She quickly says seeing Drake getting mad rather quickly. "How am I supposed to trust that!?" Drake questions. "Because to let alone how many people HE has killed here, double that from how many people he killed in my world." She answers back. "Drake!" Grayson yells at the mage to calm down. Who listens. "She doesn't seem like a bad person." Grayson explains. "We should get some sleep." Mia announces trying to change the topic. "I'll keep watch." Drake says and everyone goes to sleep. In the morning they decide Alex would stay with them until she could get back to her world. "Alex and Drake do you want to go scout ahead a bit while Mia and I finish grabbing our things." Grayson suggests. "Alright come on." Drake says starting to walk. Soon the two of them were a bit far from the camp, Drake turns and faces Alex. "If anything happens don't expect me to help you." Drake says in a bland voice. Soon Mia and Grayson caught up with them and they continued walking. While they walked through a thick forested area a group of thieves surrendered them. Two attack Drake trying to distract him from helping Alex Mia and Grayson. They take Grayson's and Mia's weapons and pin them to the ground, when Alex sees this it makes her furious. One of her eyes turns white as she hits the thieves with lightning killing them. However, little to her knowledge one of them had sneaked behind her and was about to stab her in the back. A fire blast hits him before he's able to hurt her, and she turns around to see Drake was the one that killed the thieve. Drake goes and helps Grayson and Mia to there feet. "We should keep walking we made a lot of noise we don't need anyone else ambushing us." Grayson explains. As they continued walking Drake and Alex fall back a bit. "Why did you help me?" Alex questions. "Because he would have killed you." Drake says back. "What about what you said earlier?" Drake sighs and Faces Alex. "You saved Mia and Grayson who are no joke the only people who exist that give any bit of care about me, and the other way around. In doing that you earned my trust." Drake explains. "Are you two coming." Mia yells at them. They run over to the two blonds and they continue walking.
