My group and I are getting on a bus early in the morning. The raiders are on another bus well a trailer is being pulled by a tuck behind us. It has been three days since I told Catty, Kate, and Jean about the meeting. They have been telling other witches about the meeting. With the three of them plus Diana and me, almost all the witches know about the meeting. Some are also helping in telling others.

We are leaving for a farm three hours away. None of us have had breakfast as we want to get there as fast as possible so we are eating packed breakfast on the bus. The final checks have finished, and the buses start moving out of the gates. Most of the people are eating their food well some are sleeping.

I sit with Diana again this time I am at the window. Leaning my head against the window I watch the trees fly by as we slowly pick up speed. The temperature is starting to get colder, winter should be here in a couple of weeks. I move some snow wisps around my fingers absentmindedly as time goes by.

The busses stop in front of the farmhouse. We begin to file out, fanning to the sides the raiders being to go to the house as the foragers and guards check the perimeter. I turn on my sight checking the house and mile around. No people in the house closest to zombies are a mile away.

After the sweep, the teams split off to their designated jobs. I follow Jacob, Dylan, and Carol to the back garden. Taking the row of tomatoes I begin to pick the ripe ones.

I grab a bin full of tomatoes and bring them to the front. We have been at the farm all-day now we are bringing everything from the gardens to the front by the tucks. Dropping the bin on the trailer bed I turn to get more. The trailers are almost full of supplies we are probably going to make another trip back to get the rest another time.

A scream echoes around. Turning around I scan the area. The zombies' dark red and orange glow moves quickly toward a blue glow on the other side of the truck. Sprinting around the truck I spot the red eyes of a quick. Pulling out the sword from my side I sprint to the quick as a former from another group staggers behind the truck.

The quick watch-me approach slows down nearly at a complete stop once I am in front of it. Skidding to a stop a thud sounds from behind me. Turning around I watch as the body falls to the ground. My eyebrows scrunch together watching as the glow slowly dissipates like smoke.

I drop to the ground letting out a shallow breath. That lady almost got caught stupid Kaindra for letting your hair down. I rub my face before looking around. No zombies close by checking just in case I push my sight farther. Slowly a headache begins to form the farther I push.

I groan closing my eyes and letting my sight return to normal. I pushed for four more miles past my limit my reward was a killer headache. Footsteps come my way from around the trucks. "Kaindra are you okay? Where you bit?" I hear Kevin's worried voice over the pounding in my head.

I shake my head " I'm fine just got a headache and no I was not bitten." slowly I open my eyes to see Kevin kneeling beside me.

The glow around him makes my head worse. Shutting my eyes again I turn off my sight before reopening my eyes. "Here let me clean your sword" Kevin motions to the sword-laying limo in my hand. I give him the sword as I reach into my bag for some wipes. Moving my head to my bag pain shoots down my neck. My face scrunches up as I try not to hiss.

Eventually, I get the wipes out of my bag. Checking my hands and arms for blood I begin to wipe off the small droplets. Kevin hands me back my sword "you are going to have to wash it with some bleach or heat it over a fire to kill the virus but it's good for now."

Placing the sword in its sheath I begin to stand up. The movement jars my head shooting pain down my spine now. Kevin reaches out to help me up "Thanks" he nods helping me stay steady. Luckily this pain is not the weird cold pain but the bad thing about this pain is with every movement it shoots down my neck to my toes.

Kevin helps me back to the bus letting me sit on a seat. "Stay here with how you are right now you will cause more pain to yourself if you help. We are almost done anyway so please stay here as rest." Kevin says sternly I give him a thumbs-up as I rest my head back on the seat closing my eyes.

I attempt to block out the noise with little success. Soon the busses start to load up. Feeling someone sit next to me I open one eye, Diana has taken the seat beside me giving me a questioning look. I wave her off not having it in m to move my head. I soon fall asleep as we begin to move.

Waking up as we pass the gates my head pounds harder than before. As the bus stops Kevin moves to my seat. "Go to the nurses to get checked up you may not be injured but you did kill a zombie so we have to be safe." Kevin turns to Diana giving her a silent message.

Diana nods taking my arm and helping me up. Slowly we go to the nurses. Entering the medical wing Nichole spots Diana and I's a slow approach. "What happened?"

Diana answers for me "Kaindra here killed a quick and needs a check-up." Nichole looks at me as she helps Diana get me to a room.

Nichole turns to Diana "thank you, Diana, you can go now" Diana nods giving me a small smile before leaving. Nichole turns to me once the curtain closes behind Diana. "Now for you, you don't look injured but you seem to be in pain. What hurts?"

I point to my head "killer headache happened when I sat down after I killed the zombie." she listens intently to my small explanation.

Nodding she grabs her clipboard writing what I said down. "You know the drill time to check for injury." Sighing I slowly stand taking off my leathers. After a very long and painful process, I compel Nichole again so she doesn't see my bite. After poking and checking me for any injury she gives me the all-clear to get dressed.

"No injury probably a stress headache I will give you some painkillers but sleep it off and rest. I am going to clear your schedule tomorrow just in case." I nod regretting it instantly as pain shoots down my neck. I never knew how much your head moves and what moves with it until now.

Nichole gives me two painkillers before shooing me away to rest. Deciding to take her advice I slowly go to my room.

Sleep helped very little once I woke up. Checking the time I slide out of bed, putting my hair back in a loose ponytail I slowly leave the darkroom. Supper should be starting any minute now, I may not want to go to a room so loud but I need food.

Entering the mess hall I spot my friends. As quickly as I can I grab a small amount of salad and soup before going to their table. "Kaindra how are you doing this lovely day" Jen cheers I glare at her as I take a seat.

"Do not start that Jen, please can you be quiet" I grumble into my hands massaging my temples.

Kaitlyn rubs my back softly "ruff day?" she says softly.

"Good day bad end, a killer headache started after I pushed past my limits with my sight now my head won't stop pounding." Grumbling I slowly begin to eat.

They all give me sympathetic looks "dam that bad huh why don't you go lie down for a little bit." Sam suggests quietly.

I shake my head very slowly "already did, barely made a dent." They stay quiet after that, eating their food and talking quietly when they do talk.

I excuse myself once I finish leaving my plate after Kaitlyn said she will put it away for me. I leave the very loud mess hall with a sigh of relief once I enter the silent hallway. Loud voices come into my hearing causing my piece to be broken. Coming around a corner I spot four guys around my age smoking in the hallway. "You do know you're not allowed to smoke in the halls right" the four guys turn at the sound of my voice.

One walks forward to stand in front of me "we never asked for your opinion sweet cheeks." I turn my head up ignoring the pain the action causes. The boy looks down at me with a lopsided smile.

Sighing I place a friendly smile on my face " I never said to you where I was just telling you the rules."

The smirk never leaves his face as he moves closer to me "ah come on babe why don't you join us it will make you feel better." He continues to smirk as he raps a hand around my waist.

He pulls me into his chest taking a puff from his smoke-blowing it into my face. I push him away dragging the smoke away from my face. "No now stop" he only laughs at my response moving closer to me. Before he can grab me again I stare up into his eyes. I never make eye contact unless I want to compel people so I don't do it by accident.

Once I make eye contact he freezes I never said anything so I don't understand why he stops. His friends call him from behind "hey man come on hurry it up." he doesn't respond he just stands there. Turning my eyes away I walk past my head throbbing from moving it so much.

Finally, back in my room, I decided to lie down not sleeping just staying calm and relaxed.
