Chapter 4 Beautiful

A boy, about my age and had dark blue hair. His eyes were wild with rage, but as gray as the sky. I hadn’t noticed but I was staring at him and he was staring back, and everyone else was staring at me so I look away. “Alright happy, he looks like a freak” I say feeling my cheeks burning, what was wrong with me. I relax and look back, he was still looking at me, but his eyes were softer now like he was curious but I just wanted to bag his face again so I would stop thinking about him. “Anna” Tiari says to me warningly but I just wave it off, “you have nothing to worry about” I say giving her a mocking look. I ready my bow again, “ok, were going to take the tape off your mouth so you can tell us your name” I say, I look at Taylor who looks concerned. “I don’t know Annabelle, I don’t want anyone getting attached so why do we need its name” he’s looking right at me, “so that we can call it something other than that thing” I say. He seems satisfied with that answer and readies himself to pull the tape, I have my arrow pointed right at his head then he tears it off his face. I can see the anguish in his eyes, he doesn’t yell just keeps quiet. “Ok tell us your name,” I say trying not to shake, he regains his composure “my name is Kade, what’s yours” he says it so sweetly. “Our names are not important to you” Keyara nearly yells at him, I almost start to defend him and catch myself, snap out of it Annabelle he is part of them and they overtook our planet I tell myself. I look back at Kade; he looks hurt by the remark but doesn’t say anything, after a few minutes of awkward silence Keyara grabs the tape from Taylor and shoves it back onto Kade. “You don’t have to be rude” I say looking Keyara in the eyes, “Who’s side are you on” Keyara spouts, I turn my bow to her and shoot one right beside her head. Taylor grabs Keyara by the arms and takes her away, I just want to scream whose side are you on, I hear it echo in my head. Lily grabs my arm, “I can sense you’re upset,” she says with a stern look on her face, “ I just want to get there” I say and turn facing away from them. “Thank you” I hear it echo through my head but its not my thoughts, I turn to look at Kade “yes that’s me, I have the power to enter your thoughts” I hear him say in my head again. Well get out of my head I say back through my thoughts, and I guess he does it because I don’t hear anything after. After a bit Keyara and Taylor walk back holding hands, oh brother, a traveling relationship I think to myself, this wont be good. “Lets get going, shall we” I say, “um. Sissy can you take him, he is heavy” Lily says in that innocent voice so I cant refuse. “Just undo my legs, I can walk” I hear him again, sorry no can do, I don’t need my friends freaking out I say. I pick him up and we start to move, “you know if I wanted I could make you put me down” he says again, this was really starting to get annoying. We keep going, I just ignore him now, we finally run across a hill so I make a cave inside I close it over us just enough to breath and volunteer first watch.
He sits there staring at me; I finally rip the tape off his face. “Ouch” he says quietly, “stop looking at me” I say, he looks away for about 5 seconds then looks back, “WHAT” I yell-whisper. “Why did you take off the tape?” he asks with a curious look, “so I could have someone to talk to since your not sleeping” I say, “is it a crime to set next to me” he says, “yes” I reply quickly, then I feel something grab me and pull me forward, straight into a kiss with Kade.
