his wavy hair was a deep red that framed his eyes but he didnt seem to have noticed its color change or to care .
|
bookcorpus-300
|
he was wearing an all black layered tunic and pants with boots that looked as light as mine .
|
bookcorpus-301
|
if i didnt know it was jason , i would have taken a huge step backwards at his assassin-like appearance .
|
bookcorpus-302
|
whats going on ?
|
bookcorpus-303
|
he demanded , eyes flickering from each of us as he took in all of our strange appearances .
|
bookcorpus-304
|
dont know jason , were as stumped as you .
|
bookcorpus-305
|
i said .
|
bookcorpus-306
|
he bit his lip and then smirked .
|
bookcorpus-307
|
oh , i almost forgot .
|
bookcorpus-308
|
look at this .
|
bookcorpus-309
|
he gestured at his belt , grinning mischievously .
|
bookcorpus-310
|
hanging there were a multitude of thin , dangerous looking knives .
|
bookcorpus-311
|
he pulled up his sleeve so i could see another one strapped there .
|
bookcorpus-312
|
cool , huh ?
|
bookcorpus-313
|
emily had turned to see jason appear .
|
bookcorpus-314
|
she spotted his knives and groaned , stomping her foot .
|
bookcorpus-315
|
aw come on !
|
bookcorpus-316
|
jason whispered behind his hand to seth and i. whats up with her ?
|
bookcorpus-317
|
seth shrugged .
|
bookcorpus-318
|
i dont know .
|
bookcorpus-319
|
girl issues ?
|
bookcorpus-320
|
i heard that !
|
bookcorpus-321
|
emily said angrily .
|
bookcorpus-322
|
thats when suddenly a hideous creature appeared in front of us .
|
bookcorpus-323
|
it was hunched over , with thick furry skin and wicked claws that shot out of its curled paws .
|
bookcorpus-324
|
we would soon know them as thrashers , beasts we would get used to seeing .
|
bookcorpus-325
|
i dont know who screeched louder in fear , but im pretty sure it might have been me .
|
bookcorpus-326
|
seth pulled his sword out but his hand shook like mad .
|
bookcorpus-327
|
i clumsily pulled an arrow out of the quiver on my back and struggled to attach it to my bow .
|
bookcorpus-328
|
how the heck did those people in movies make this look so easy ?
|
bookcorpus-329
|
i exchanged a look with seth , but he looked as clueless as i did .
|
bookcorpus-330
|
none of this felt real .
|
bookcorpus-331
|
i swear , the creature laughed at us .
|
bookcorpus-332
|
or maybe my fear was making me see and hear things .
|
bookcorpus-333
|
jason moved silently to stand beside us , one of his throwing knives in his hand .
|
bookcorpus-334
|
what do we do ?
|
bookcorpus-335
|
were dead so it cant hurt us right ?
|
bookcorpus-336
|
i asked .
|
bookcorpus-337
|
i dont feel dead .
|
bookcorpus-338
|
jason whispered .
|
bookcorpus-339
|
i didnt either .
|
bookcorpus-340
|
in fact , i realized that my whole body was aching from the strange attack i had experienced .
|
bookcorpus-341
|
and if i was dead , i wouldnt need to breathe so heavily .
|
bookcorpus-342
|
my heart was racing so fast that it might explode right out of my chest .
|
bookcorpus-343
|
jason threw the knife he had been holding and it stuck into a tree .
|
bookcorpus-344
|
he grinned at me and i guess it hit exactly where he wanted .
|
bookcorpus-345
|
on the count of three , we attack with everything weve got .
|
bookcorpus-346
|
okay ?
|
bookcorpus-347
|
seth looked at jason and i .
|
bookcorpus-348
|
we nodded at him .
|
bookcorpus-349
|
one , two three !
|
bookcorpus-350
|
when seth hit three , he charged with his sword .
|
bookcorpus-351
|
i pulled back and released my arrow .
|
bookcorpus-352
|
it hit the thrashers front paw .
|
bookcorpus-353
|
before i could think , i had notched another one on the bow and drew back the string .
|
bookcorpus-354
|
it was like i had been an archer my whole life .
|
bookcorpus-355
|
jason threw knife after knife , hitting its mark every time .
|
bookcorpus-356
|
when the creature went down , seth stood and took a breath .
|
bookcorpus-357
|
then another tackled him to the ground .
|
bookcorpus-358
|
i didnt know what to do and jason didnt either .
|
bookcorpus-359
|
emily ran forward and pointed to seth who was clawing toward his weapon .
|
bookcorpus-360
|
do something !
|
bookcorpus-361
|
she screamed .
|
bookcorpus-362
|
before i could reply , fire shot from her finger .
|
bookcorpus-363
|
the thrasher yelped and jumped off seth and ran toward emily .
|
bookcorpus-364
|
she smiled wickedly and held both hands out , pelting the creature with fire .
|
bookcorpus-365
|
i pulled seth up in time to see the thrasher buried entangled by roots shooting from the dirt .
|
bookcorpus-366
|
jason threw a knife in the pile to make sure it was really dead .
|
bookcorpus-367
|
you okay ?
|
bookcorpus-368
|
i asked seth , and congratulated emily on her new found talent .
|
bookcorpus-369
|
im fine .
|
bookcorpus-370
|
he said and limped over .
|
bookcorpus-371
|
i gasped and pointed to his leg .
|
bookcorpus-372
|
seth , youre bleeding blue !
|
bookcorpus-373
|
he just blinked at him , glancing down at his leg .
|
bookcorpus-374
|
he didnt answer as he tugged at me to start walking back towards where we had last seen ourselves .
|
bookcorpus-375
|
we could still see our bodies sleeping peacefully , but this time i noticed that we were all faintly glowing blue .
|
bookcorpus-376
|
i could see the rise and fall of my chest as i breathed .
|
bookcorpus-377
|
so i really was alive , which made this situation even creepier and stranger .
|
bookcorpus-378
|
i had two bodies !
|
bookcorpus-379
|
how was this even possible ?
|
bookcorpus-380
|
what do we do ?
|
bookcorpus-381
|
seth , do you any ideas ?
|
bookcorpus-382
|
she frowned when he didnt answer .
|
bookcorpus-383
|
seth ?
|
bookcorpus-384
|
emily spun in a circle but seth was nowhere to be found .
|
bookcorpus-385
|
seth walked out from behind a tree .
|
bookcorpus-386
|
but he was normal seth .
|
bookcorpus-387
|
he had his dirty blonde hair back and was wearing his dirty jeans and shirt from school .
|
bookcorpus-388
|
no dark red hair , no glimmering sword , no bleeding wound .
|
bookcorpus-389
|
his warrior self was nowhere to be seen .
|
bookcorpus-390
|
seth howd you do that ?
|
bookcorpus-391
|
i asked .
|
bookcorpus-392
|
he whirled around .
|
bookcorpus-393
|
whos there ?
|
bookcorpus-394
|
me , you idiot !
|
bookcorpus-395
|
i snorted .
|
bookcorpus-396
|
he stared at the place where i was standing , but his eyes werent focused on me .
|
bookcorpus-397
|
jazell ?
|
bookcorpus-398
|
obviously , are you blind ?
