hands and @@@@@This ground stayed firm under my hands and knees, but I scrambled farther away, toward the safety of the exit tunnel There was another crack, and I glanced backOne of Kyle's legs drooped farther down as a rock fell from beneath itI heard the splash this time as the chunk of stone met the river belowThe ground shuddered under his weight He's going to fall,I realized Good,Melanie snarled But… ! If he falls, he can't kill us, WandaIf he doesn't fall, he will I can't just… Yes, you canDon't you want to live? I did Kyle could disappearAnd if he did, there was a chance that no one would ever hurt me again At least not among the people hereThere was still the Seeker to consider, but maybe she would give up someday, and then I could stay here indefinitely with the humans I loved My leg throbbed, pain replacing some of the numbnessWarm fluid trickled down my lipsI tasted the moisture without thinking and realized it was my blood I could feel the tremors from where I stoodAnother piece of floor splashed into the river Kyle's weight shifted, and he slid an inch toward the hole Melanie knew better than I what she was talking about I stared at the face of the man who was about to die–the man who wanted me deadWith him unconscious, Kyle's face was no longer that of an angry animalIt was relaxed, almost peace | | Saturday, December 11th, 2010 | | 10:55 am |
