Chapter 14: Trying
Peter
I yelled and yelled, but I got no response. I heard no movement in the trees, and no giggles behind the bushes.
"I'll find you!" I screamed. "I will always find you!"
I hung my head and walked out. I found a sad Lucy waiting for me.
"Don't worry," she encouraged "we'll find her."
I smiled and picked her up.
"Thank you."
She smiled at me. I placed her on Blade, and they went back to the tents. I walked out into the open field and unsheathed my sword. I will find you. I'm trying Kendall. I will find you.
Kendall
When my mother and I arrived at her campsite I heard Peter yelling my name. I turned to the forest.
"Kendall!" He yelled. "Kendall!"
A tear escaped my eye. My mother saw my pain and guided me along.
"Just ignore him." She said. "He'll only hurt you more."
I nodded and followed her.
She led me to the heart of her camp. Her soldiers trembled, fearing for their lives as we passed. My mother's army follows her in fear, not loyalty. She continued to walk and stopped in front of an enormous tent.
I recognized the design of the fabric. It was mine. The last time I saw this was when my family and I went to the countryside. We were so happy together.
Another year escaped my eye when I came back into reality. I turned to my mother.
"Dad says hi." I whispered. She laughed.
He laugh wasn't her evil laugh. It was like a laugh from my memories, a laugh of love and kindness.
"I figured that you'd come back to me, so I came prepared.
I smiled and nodded a thank you.
"Where's Blade?" She asked.
"I don't know." I said frowning.
"Don't worry, we'll find him." She gave me a wink."I'll leave you alone now."and she walked away.
I faked a smile as she walked. When she disappeared I ran into the tent and collapsed on the bed. I let my tears flow and the pain burn. I needed to get him out of my head. I needed to try and forget him, but I can't. I can't try to forget him. I'm trying to live him, but now all the trying equals pain. From now on my trying will equal my strength, and my pain will equal my will to forget. Now, I'm trying for anger. Now, I'm trying for hate.
