CHAPTER 16

“You still have much to learn and allies to build if you are to have even a remote chance of achieving any success at the trials. You really must change your attitude, your hair, your clothes! Harrumph! You’re not listening to a word that I’m saying, are you?” Marsha threw up her hands and shook her head for the thousandth time that afternoon. They had been training since 7:00 am, yet Nhari spent most of the time rearranging her hair in god-awful bows and pins.

What a strange girl! How the hell did she survive the realm of the exiled?

“I’m listening to you. You sound like a mother if I ever had one.” Nhari rolled her eyes and went back to try a different arrangement with an assortment of her special pins and bows in her hair. “I didn’t come here to change who I am. I was invited here to have an equal chance to become a ruling member of the Guardian Clan. Based on what I’ve seen so far, the clan could use a little excitement and change,” said Nhari, dramatically tracing the outline of herself in the air for full effect.

“While you call this the civilized world, I see nothing has changed since I was a little girl. Countries are still at war. People are spending their last dime on bio-pills for jump sites. And bioengineering is being done on babies whose parents can afford it! Everyone is corrupt and out for themselves.” Nhari pointedly looked at Marsha.

Marsha didn’t miss the not-so-subtle implication. “Well, when you put it that way. Perhaps you fit in after all.” Marsha put her hands on her hips and stood to stretch her legs.

Nhari tried her best to listen to Marsha ramble away about how unfit she was for the trials. But her attention kept going to the delicious smelling muffins that were ready to come out of the oven. Cinnamon and a touch of tangerine reminded her of the times in the exiled when she grew enough plants to feed the children fine desserts that they had never before tasted. One thing she loved about her accommodation was access to an oven. Between the plants she grew and the food provided by the guards, Nhari had made quite a show of her talents.

Sweet and delicious memories!

Nhari set the first tray of muffins on the table between them. She popped a muffin in her mouth, smacking loudly and moaning at the flavors. Marsha only laughed and threw up her hands as she sat back in the lounge chair. After seeing that Nhari didn’t fall over dead after her first bite, Marsha grabbed a muffin to sample. Marsha knew she had to watch her back. She couldn’t be too careful and let down her guard. The crazy chick had mutilated her father after all.

I’m getting used to Marsha’s style and finesse. I still don’t trust her, but she can be pretty funny at times. Who am I kidding? I don’t have anyone else
