An elephant was walking between Kelsey and Amber, while they headed to an unknown destination. “Where exactly are we going?” Amber asked. “We’ve been walking for hours. I’m hungry” she complained.
“There’s plenty of food around” Kelsey said, waving her arm. “You mean like a rabbit?” Amber asked disgusted. “Yes, Am, like a rabbit” Kelsey confirmed. “Come on, we have to get moving”
“Where are we going?” Amber repeated her most urgent question.
“To a safe place” Kelsey answered, with a whiff of fear in her voice. “I need to get you somewhere safe”
“Safe?” Amber scorned. “I have fangs, I think I know how to defend myself, thank you very much” For the first since hours Kelsey held her steps and turned around. “You’re not invincible. There is always something stronger than you and it will get to you, given the chance. Everyone has their weak spot and you’re not an exception. So, instead of acting like you’re untouchable, you can take me seriously, quit complaining and move faster, because I don’t want to be responsible if anything happens to you”
“Why would anything happen to me?” Amber asked, grabbing Kelsey’s arm so she couldn’t turn around and walk further. “You’ve been worrying about me for days, but you won’t tell me why. And no way I’m the buying the ‘The Salvatore Brothers are dangerous’ story. You’ll have to do better than that” she said, her voice nearly breaking down.
“I told you, you’re not ready” Kelsey said avoiding
“And I think I am” Amber said, getting angry. “You know what? If you’re not prepared to tell me the truth, I don’t think I can trust you. And so I’m not sure I’m safe with you”
“What are you trying to say?” Kelsey said.
“What I’m trying to say is, wherever you’re going, you can go alone” Amber said. “I can and will take care of myself”
That being said she turned around and raced away, leaving Kelsey stunned.
