The City Of Astan

Jayden

I tighten my jaw and look away for a moment, not liking the way things are going. This is not how I wanted things to go. This is not according to plan. Too tense for my taste...

Jessica

I look at Cleo, shaking my head, You don't know them. What are you doing?

She keeps smiling and answers, "Yes."

I roll my eyes and study the guy before staying silent, looking away.

Enko

I look at Jayden and tilt my head slightly to the left and look back at the two, Seaward and Eastern people. I look around boringly tension high in the air, Jayden must think I'm crazy for coming out like I was never caught.

"What do you think Jayden?" I ask telepathically looking at him.

Jayden

Oh, now you're curious of my opinion? I sigh, glancing at her.

I look back at the two girls and study the one bold enough to speak.

"Might I ask what you two are looking for?" I ask, "Perhaps we could help each other..."

Jessica

Help eachother?

I play with Cleo's hair as she talks, "Lost ones..."She simply says.

Enko

As I thought, these three are to stupid, Jayden even worse since he's met the two already and still hasn't put two and two together to figure that out. I still wonder what my brother was doing since our seperation, Lizzie would be getting worried for me. I doubt she would care for Jayden, but we would see in the future.

"Ain't none around here, we searched the forest up and down and found nothing." I said.

Jayden looks at me weird, probably because he knew that we haven't and we haven't been to the other parts of the forest yet, he looked at me than back at the girls.

Jayden

I look at Enko questioningly, wondering what she's up to, but say nothing to deject her statement. What is she doing...?

Jessica

I study the girl's facial expression. I look at Cleo, who loses her smile. Knowing that she's using her power, she shakes her head once she's done, "You're lying. I know you are. So obvious."

I sigh, Empathy...Empathy...

Enko

"Oh look at little miss Empathy over here, knowing I'm lying now." I said.

Jayden rolls his eyes at me, and suddenly I want to punch him in the arm. Hard.

"Blah your the biggest fool I've ever seen." I said aloud.

Jayden looks at me with a raised eyebrow, probably wondering if that was directed at him.

Jayden

I study Enko before shaking my head and looking back at the girls, done with this.

"Sorry to bother you. Good luck in your search. Maybe we'll meet again," I say, turning away.

I walk back to the woods and shift into my kitsune form, trotting a bit further away just to keep watch without being noticed.

What the heck has gotten into her? Has she any caution for others?

Jessica

It takes a minute for Cleo to process everything, "Wait, excuse me?" She asks, raising an eyebrow but keeping her ground, looking at the girl.

I take a step back and walk away, sliding down a tree but still watching the scene.

Enko

The noise in my head is as loud as rock music set on fifty and put straight to your ear, I put my hands over my ears in an attempt to drown out the noise in my head. But to no avail. I begin to walk forward slowly, but soon it becomes to much and I just collapse after my next few steps.

Jayden

Enko collapses and I shift back human again, rushing towards her. I check her vitals and glance up at the other two.

"What...what happened?" I ask, not wanting to accuse them of anything without knowing.

Jessica

Cleo shrugs and I stand, walking towards the scene, "She fainted," I finally say, "Cleo didn't do anything."

Jayden

I nod and look over Enko's vitals one more time before trying to wake her, though it's to no avail.
