seths face reached a new undiscovered level of red , i didnt want to lose a friend .
right emily trailed off and smirked at him , wiggling her eyebrows .
seth squirmed slightly and avoided her gaze .
i started to laugh but in morphed into a cough instead .
i clutched my midsection to find it was covered in bandages .
what exactly happened ?
i questioned .
seth glanced at emily and back at me , i dont really know .
we turned around to see you being mauled by a thrasher .
before either of us could do anything , some light appeared out of nowhere .
when it died down , we found you lying on the ground unconscious .
thats basically it .
we dont know what the light was .
emily added .
but whatever it was , it saved your life .
uh i have a feeling i should thank it , but i dont know how you thank light .
i muttered .
you thank it like you would thank anyone else , a voice said .
i almost jumped to the moon in surprise .
out of nowhere someone , or something , appeared beside jason .
i think jason was more scared because he actually jumped into the air .
as it came into view , it became obvious that it was a girl .
she in a yellow cloak and had dazzling red hair .
she smiled warmly at us with her chocolate brown eyes and i realized she had pointed ears .
so i basically made the conclusion that she wasnt human .
uh okay i said slowly .
she giggled , wow i never thought id scare a bunch of half-lings but i guess i did .
you didnt scare me , jason said quickly .
yeah okay , jason , emily said sarcastically .
i sat up and leaned on seth because i would fall if i didnt , and emily and jason were too busy giving each other looks to help me .
what and who are you ?
i stared at her .
she rolled her eyes , a light pixie , duh .
i blinked , a light pixie ?
yes , a light pixie .
are you deaf ?
she retorted .
uh , no , im not .
i dont know what a light pixie is or why you saved my life , but thank you i said , trying not to snap back .
well you are a half-ling and we need as many of them as we can get , she pointed out .
plus im not evil , so why shouldnt i help you out ?
uh thanks i guess .
this situation was extremely awkward to me .
she winked and disappeared in a flash .
i limped over to my body ignoring seths yells to tell me to sit down .
i felt the wind pick up and was whisked back to my normal self .
i felt fine except for the fact it hurt to stretch my left side .
i would probably be extremely stiff and sore tomorrow morning , but i was used to that feeling .
we began to walk back towards the park when jason stopped us .
hey can seth and i catch you guys later ?
we have something to do .
jason grabbed seth and they took off .
emily raised an eyebrow , should we be concerned ?
nah theyre boys , let them do what they have to do , i said with a quick sigh .
while we were walking the boys appeared in front of us , holding something behind their backs .
they seemed to be fighting giggles which usually meant they were hiding something .
or they were about to do something that fell under their category of funny .
hi guys , seth said still fighting a smirk .
hi , i replied cautiously .
what are you guys hiding ?
jasons face twisted up and a snort of laughter fought its way out of his nose .
nothing .
right emily gave me a look that said , is this good or bad ?
i didnt really have an answer for her but i knew that whatever was coming , it wasnt going to be good .
so jason , we have a question for you .
i nodded towards emily .
jasons face grinned in a seriously weird way that screamed , weirdo !
he shifted his hands and said , what ?
emily stepped forward , we want to know what youre but she never finished .
she had triggered it all .
jason had been hiding two blue , full , water pistols behind his back and was now shooting them at emilys face .
she was holding up her hands and letting out some sort of squeal .
seth had been hiding a full two-handed water gun behind his back and the end was pointed at no other than me .
you wouldnt , i said , my voice dark .
seth gave me a maniacs grin , you already know the answer to that .
then he shot me right in the face .
i blocked most of the spray from my face but water still leaked through my fingers .
i felt the cold water seep through my clothes and onto my skin as seth continued to soak me .
crap jason , shut it off !
emily hollered but it didnt work because i heard her yell again as he sprayed her hair .
i couldnt see anything because my eyes were half shut and i was afraid seth would wash my eyes out .
seth seriously , stop .
you cant command boys to do anything and to prove that , seth shot my butt .
eventually they stopped , only because three water guns can hold only so much water and emily and me looked like we could kill .
we were both completely soaked to the bone and even though in was the middle of summer , we were shivering .
the boys looked completely satisfied with how we looked .
after emily and i gave them a look , they tore down the street and disappeared .
emily squeezed the bottom of her shirt , i hate them so much right now .
water gushed onto the street .
i wrung my hair out .
i agree and if we didnt need them , id be planning their funeral .
emily smiled , id be helping you .
do you think they would like pink coffins ?
totally , i laughed and grabbed my dry bag .
lets go home .
want to crash at my place ?
emily flipped open her phone , her fingers danced on the keys and paused .
then they clicked and she shoved it in her pocket .
yup i can .
youre always one step ahead .
