I Get to Meet Jesus

Yelling breaks out between them. He keeps pointing at me and Cheyenne. I get the feeling that's he's talking trash about me and her. Or maybe just me. Cheyenne begins yelling too, and the dragons sit snickering in the back. Great. I'm the only one who doesn't understand!

Cheyenne must have overstepped the line. Ramona walks over and slaps her. She doesn't reach up to touch it. Only one single tear rolls from her eye. They still speak in another language and Ramona points to the path we came on. Cheyenne starts to speed walk down the path. I won’t let her go. I may not know what was said, but she most likely didn't deserve that.

I grab her hand but she yanks it away. I try again, the same thing happens. The third time I don't let go. She turns around banging her free hand on my chest screaming bloody murder "let go of me! I said let go damn it! You stupid! Childish! Boy! Who do you think you are!" Her hits become weak and she begins to sob. I pull her into a hug as she tries to drop to the ground. My left arm not doing much to help. How does it not hurt by now? I haven't even noticed it really.

I whisper quietly into her hair "I may be a boy right now. I may be childish and stupid. But I won’t let you down that easily. And I am the boy who will do anything to help you." Her sobs have become a sniffling runny nose and irritated eyes.

"You're a real piece of work you know that." She sniffles. "But I've been kicked out of sanctuary. She hates me, the only family member I'm aloud to talk to..." her crying picks up. "Hates me." I pet her head like she's a wild animal. Gently, cautious of her movement in case she tries to bite. My chest burning from her earlier hits.

"Sometimes you need water more than you need blood to survive. The trick is knowing which is which when you have your eyes closed." Voices come closer from behind.

"Let her go. She is not welcome anymore and must leave." Ramona's tone is harsh and cruel. It's getting on my nerves.

Cheyenne tries to push me away and stand, only to wobble and fall again. She must still be weak from hitting the shield earlier. Anger flares in me. I pick Cheyenne up and walk down the pathway we came from. If it wasn't in a cast, I think my arm would work normally.

"She has to go alone. You have to stay." Ramona sounds angry now. Good, I want her angry. This may be the only way to get back at her. I may lose the experience needed for this journey, but at least I can get payback for making Cheyenne cry. She wants to train a warrior then just train Jesus.

"I said you have to stay!" She yells. I stop but don't turn to look back.
