I'm agitated enough when Jack says "Later" I start to yell. "Later! Really! You know what, whatever! later." I scoff." Tell me later when you..." I stop. I cannot blame him. He has a family, friends down there. I meet Jacks gasse. "I'm sorry, I should've yelled. You need a doctor, lets go."
June comes next to me and we continue down the path. Jack stops suddenly. Afraid that he will fall I stop and turn quickly and June continues on.
Jack looks towards me. "Where is Nat?" I look at June and wince. Her face has fallen. " There is another boy?" She yelled." I thought that you only sensed one boy with Gift!" I take a step back and nod. " There was one boy with Gift, but Jack had a friend. He-he saw me, H-e saw me use my Gift. I needed to bring him, but I left him there at the last second. He was knocked out."
June looks at me and I stand taller. She will never scare me. Ya, she can be horrifying but she is an amazing friend. She sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose and shock her head wile looking down in disappointment. "Did this knock out involve fist?" She lets out under a breath. "Maybe." I creaked. From down the hall I hear Jack speak after a long time. "Great, you punched him to. Is his skull broken, Karen?" I can detect that sarcasm from a mile away, "I have no clue, Okay. He is alive but that is all that I know, June, I will take Jack and myself to the Med. There Kaitlin shall be waiting, I will ask her to help you get Nat. He should be...you know what use your gift to find him."
"Fine" June moans and trudges off back to the Hole In The Floor. Jack continues to walk until June passes his shoulder. He stops and June whispers something into his ear. I cannot quite hear it, nor do I want to hear it. Jack nods and continued to walk. I stay planted until Jack is a few feet away. We trudge along the hall and the voices come with fog. I look at the walls, swirls of clouds and stars wip around, followed by howls of the wind. A dark purple and dark blue swirl caches my eyes. The swirl is dusted with specks of gold and silver. The silver starts to bleed into the swirl, leaving marks until it all blends in. The cloud was now a light silver mixed with blue. Astonishing, the walls never cease to amaze me. A soft "Wow" comes from behind me. I turn around quickly ready to fight. I forgot that Jack was behind me. He grabs my raised fist and smirks. "I don't think you should fight in your condition." I pull my hand from his grip and roll my eyes.
We make eye contact and I freeze. His eyes moved with the wall, not the pupil, but the iris. It took the pattern of the cloud behind him. It did not take up the color, just the pattern. The cloud snaked along the wall with formation of the waves, some big, some small. I was still mesmerized when I felt my face flush and my knees felt unsteady. A hand caresses the small of my back and I rush forward, escapeing the touch. Jack takes a step back from me and furrows his brow. "Sor.." I cut him off. "Lets get you to the Med."
He nods slowly and walks off. As we make are way down the hall, the clouds whisper and voices ring. Turn around, begone! Came from a shrill voice. Jack whispers "Karen, there are voices coming from the walls."
"No ship, Sherlock. Really? I did not notice." I glare at Jack. He looks at me stunned. "You said ship, I believe the proper quote whent like-"
"Save the sins for later, I am fully aware of what I said." I explained. Jack rolls his eyes and continues " What do we do? The voices-"
"You are believing voices, Jack? That seems unlike you"
After bickering we come to the end of the hall. We reached The Gate Of Trillions.
