Chapter XVIII
Anna
I have to get out of here, I have to leave. "We have to get going, come on we have to leave". One look at John's face and I know that he didn't understand my sudden mood change. A couple of minutes ago I was crying and now I was decisive and in a rush to leave. Well just how am I suppose to say that Claire spoke to me and warned me about the soldiers, so I don't have time to sit around and cry on his shoulder.
Without waiting I ran outside towards the cottage, the sooner I get Moonbeam and leave the better. "Anna wait, Anna" I could hear John shouting, but there was no chance that I was going to wait and get capture again. Especially not by Vince and he's crazy king Malcolm.
"...Anna can you hear me..."
"...did you hear what I said..."
"...the soldiers know where you are..."
"...you have to listen..."
I contemplated just ignoring her, but she did warn me about the soldiers coming and she didn't tell them where I was to set a trap for me in the church.
"...yes Claire I can hear you..."
"...I'm leaving, don't worry..."
I then blocked her out so I can concentrate on leaving. I made it to the cottage well ahead of John and by the time he got there I had Moonbeam saddled. Will was nowhere in sight and I couldn't help but feel relieved. It made me sad that I was feeling that way about someone that I cared about. I'm sure that he would be more than happy that I was leaving and would probably appreciate me not waiting to greet him before I do.
"...Anna, Anna we have to talk.." Again Claire was inside my head shouting.
"Anna we have to talk" I was about to reply to Claire or block her out once again when I realized that it wasn't her but John speaking to me the second time . "What are you doing? Why are you packing?". He came over and put a hand on my arm stopping my movement.
"...Anna we have to talk.." Claire was being insistent. "Anna are you listening to me? Why are you packing?". John even more so because he was a couple of feet away from me with his hand still on my arm.
"...both of you just stop..." I mentally yell and immediately realized what I did. John had a dumbfounded look on his face. He knew that he heard me, but he didn't know how. I didn't know how, I thought that I could only do that with Claire. He let go of my arm and was just looking at me very confused. At least he wasn't scared of me, but then again I'm sure he has no idea what just happened.
"John listen I have to leave, I can't stay here any longer, I have to go". I continued packing, getting some food for the trip and John still looked stupefied. I was finally done and without thinking I went over to John and hugged him. That seemed to snap him out of whatever was going on and he returned the hug and I gave him a small peck on his cheek. "Goodbye John". That really spurred him into action. "Wait, what?" John pulled me back and then "What do you mean, goodbye John?" John was yelling at this point and now I was the shocked one.
