<P class=MsoNormal>Kestrel's P.O.V</P>

<P class=MsoNormal>I didn't realise I was crying until Ash said exasperatedly "Oh no, please no. Not you to, Kestrel please don't cry. You will start sobbing and then I'll have to comfort you and I am not good at comforting people, especially people I don't know well." It was something Raksha would say that I burst into tears sobbing.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal>"Th-this i-i-i-is all you-your fault." I sobbed. Ash smirked and hugged me.<I> Thought you said you weren't good at comforting people.</I> I sent</P>

<P class=MsoNormal><I>I'm not but Todd needs to focus on the road.</I> Ash replied smirking. I replied by sending a very visual image of the multiple was I would have painfully killed him if he was not Raksha's brother.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal>"Relax, I'm only Joking, Raksha will be fine. Knowing her she probably had worse." Ash said comfortingly. Weirdly enough, it made me feel a lot better. When I finally stopped crying I thanked Ash who responded by 'gallantly' bowing and mumbling my pleasure. The idiot.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal>"All right we're here!" Todd yelled. I still didn't trust him. Out of the group of conscious people I trusted Ash the most, <I>I don't trust this guy.</I> I sent to Ash.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal><I>Good, it's nice to know that you're not the only one paranoid. So, do we let them heal Raksha then take them out, or just take 'Todd' out?</I> Ash replied instantly.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal><I>I don't know...Option 1 I guess. </I>I answered.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal>"Damn." Ash swore under his breath.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal>"Excuse me?" Todd asked.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal>"I stubbed my toe." Ash replied lying flawlessly. But I knew why he swore. I would have wanted to take out 'Todd' too if not for the fact I did not know how to heal and obviously Raksha needed a healer. Mathew carried Raksha out and followed 'Todd'. The humans were just too trusting. Sighing I followed them and walked into the healers room and sat next to Raksha, Ash by my side. To stop myself from getting a panic attack, I decided to talk to Ash and calm myself down. While the healer worked I got to know Ash more and more and he seemed like a nice guy. </P>

<P class=MsoNormal>The healer had worked on Raksha for a few hours. After wiping sweat of his brow, he passed out. The healer needed a healer...Ironic. I sensed he was going to die unless he got some energy, not like I cared. Even if I did care, I could not help him but-unfortunately- Ash had to help the healer. I still didn't know why but this place still crept me out.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal>At nine o'clock Ash had to practically drag me out to eat something. "You need to eat." He kept telling me but I was not hungry. A girl rushed by and bumped into Ash.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal>"Hey!" He yelled.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal>"Oh my gosh I am so sorry. I didn't watch where I was going." The girl said apologetically and gave Ash a flirty smile. A surge of jealousy flooded through me. What was wrong with me? Angry at myself, I mercilessly went through the girls mind to find out where to get some food from and rushed to the cafeteria. As I rushed away from Ash, I sensed he felt confused. I had an unusually small appetite that day and I wondered why. </P>

<P class=MsoNormal>Before I could let that get to me 'Todd' appeared.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal>"I didn't get to show you around the place today, maybe tomorrow? When you're done eating, I'll show you to your room. Okay?" 'Todd' asked.</P>
