Chapter 22 - 22: Bloody mess (James)

Saturday, December 9th, 7 Years Before The Sacrifice

James lays in the bed of the wagon as Astrid bears witness as Asher does his best to drive.

"You're doing great Ash," James says sarcastically

"If you're going to complain, why don't you take over!" Asher says aggressively

"Ass?" Astrid questions

James begins to laugh uncontrollably and Asher's eye twitches from anger.

"MY NAME IS ASHER!!" Asher yells

"Ass.…her?" Astrid says

"You're doing this on purpose aren't you?" Asher asked

(I like this kid already) James thinks

Astrid joins James in laughter, pissing Asher off even more.

After some time James took over as the driver so that Asher wouldn't kill them, soon they arrived at the house.

"Here she is," James says

"Yep, this piece of crap is ours," Asher says

"It's wonderful!" Astrid says excitedly

James walks to the front door and opens it moving out of the way allowing Astrid to see inside.

"It's getting late we should probably go inside," James says

Astrid walks inside examining the house and everything inside. Once everyone walks in James closes the door behind them.

"Alright I guess we should talk about the sleeping situation," James says

"What about it?" Asher asks

"Well there are three of us now, so one of us will have to sleep on the floor," James says

"I'll just sleep on the floor," Asher says

"Oh…." James says

"What?" Asher asked

"No it's nothing, I was just fully prepared to sleep on the floor," James says

"Why is that? Asher asked

"I thought you'd put up more of a fight," James says

"Guess you were wrong," Asher says smugly

"Yeah…. Guess so" James says

(He's acting strange, maybe I should confront him about it) James thinks

James's train of thought is interrupted by the sound of glass shattering. He looks over to she Astrid has just dropped a vile that was full of his blood.

"Ah crap," James says
