The River of Shadows - Elektra (autobiographies to read .txt) 📗

enough Emma stormed in as a bird, still wearing her normal clothes, “The NERVE!” She cawed then turned her attention toward me, “So he said the same to you, eh?”
I nodded, I could not speak, and I didn’t have the will to speak. I hated Reemo so much. I wanted him and his brother dead. The only people I could trust now were the humans I thought that were so terrible growing up thinking THEY were savage, and Simon and Emma. Emma gave me her black sweatshirt and I took it gratefully.
“Hmm… Try to get away from me now?” Kakath said coming into the room, “Fine, you look like a hooker already.”
Emma cawed even more, her mouth becoming a beak, she began flapping about like a psycho and she head butted Kakath into a wall.
“How dare you!” I hissed, “Just because we agreed to coming here doesn’t mean you treat us like this. I pointed a clawed, lizard like finger at him, my eyes narrowing.
Simon came from behind the corner, looking at all of us with a puzzled face, “Hmm… Looks like I AM the only gentleman here. Would you look at that, chivalry is dead.” He shrugged.
Kakath looked like he wasn’t even mad, maybe he didn’t feel his big, fat, head bouncing off the wall.
“Know what, I am no longer going after Kakath.” I said and turned to gaze at Reemo. I turned instantly lizard without even thinking about it as I leapt onto him. With my claws I began scraping at his chest like mad, making him bleed. “I HOPE YOU DIE FROM BLOOD LOSS!” I hissed as I clawed. No one stopped me.
Reemo then flipped me over on my back and began clawing at my bare belly. I was in shock as he did this. He had hurt ME. The wonderful, charismatic knight Reemo had attacked ME. He stopped, his eyes becoming round and circular again as they widened. I pushed him off me with great force, tears streaming down my eyes. “You were right Simon.” I whispered under my breath, “You were always right.” I hated this, I really did, how could Reemo be like this. He had turned absolutely menace on us. I looked at him closely one more time, his golden eyes looked rusted, and his beautiful light brown hair had been matted down with sweat and darkened.
I then jumped out of the window. As a lizardy being with intensified strength it didn’t hurt when I landed. Emma took Simon by the hand and flew him out. I had to hug them right now, I needed to. These two were just about the only thing I had left. I couldn’t possibly go back to the mortal world now, so yes, they were all I had left.
“Maeve.” Simon said. I didn’t look up, I just wanted to soak in their scents, Simon smelled of new books and Emma smelt of the mountains and bird. “Maeve.” Simon said again. I looked up wondering what the hell he would possibly want to say. He then grabbed his head in his hands and looked at me with a grim expression, “Listen to me! We need to think of something! Anything!”
I then pulled his hands off of my face and exchanged looks with them, “Stay away from the crazed. Keep out of sight. Try to protect eachother.” I then looked down at the ground and walked away from the castle, Emma and Simon close behind.
“So… you expect us to just give up?” Emma asked, “Perhaps you don’t know me that well.
“I’m with Em, we’ve gotta do something.” Simon added.
