"Well, we need to create a distraction" Kai said looking outside the window.
"Why, there's no one around we can make a run for it", I responded confused by what he meant.
"You're the Princess of the Grand Master Human Sword, and a descent from the Sun spirit, trust me you have bodyguards you just can't see them" he said. "Unlike you I can hear them, well their thoughts. If we want to actually want to runaway, we need to shake your guards"
"I can't believe I have guards. Why would they tell me I have guards" I said pouting
"Probably, because your parents know you would keep trying to shake them off. Actually, it's pretty smart to do that. Your older sibling doesn't have guards because they can defend themselves. We should draw them out, that way we can get rid of them as soon as they come out of the shadows".
"I have an idea. Something every guard would have been told. See I can't swim, in fact my parents, built fences around the lakes and rivers. If I try to climb them then they would come out."
"Well bringing then out then we will make a run for it. And be careful around the lake."
"Please. I'm always careful" "I know I'm strong, but I can't always save you"
"Wow, you really think highly of yourself. It's good because someone has to."
"Ha, Ha, Ha. You're hilarious"
"Wait, Kai. I have a better idea."
"And what is that. I mean nothing can top that amazing full proof you had", he said sarcastically.
"We just make a run for it", he looked me in the eyes and started bursting out in laughter.
"Oh, Oh, hold on, let, let me catch my breath"
"Listen. You can hear thoughts; we just keep running until we can't hear them"
"So, let me get this straight. You want us 2 children, to outrun trained bodyguards okay. One child who's been kept in this castle her whole life, I mean, I've received training. But you, you're a lost cause."
"You should write a book. In being an arsehole"
"What was that word you just said"
"You mean, Arse Hole"
"I've never heard Ass be pronounced like that"
"I. Why are we discussing this. We will make a run for it on the count of 3." We got ready positioning ourselves.
"I bet I can run faster than you"
"You wish. One"
"I know I can run faster than you"
"You wanna bet. Two"
"Fine if I win. You owe me, you have to do whatever I say"
"Deal same goes for you too. Three. GO" We began running. Wow he is fast, but sadly he's not fast enough. a race." said the little kid.
"I doubt it", Aria replied. At the school fence stood men around the ages of 25 called for Aria to come over. "Hey, Aria those guys are calling for you". The little kid said, saying Aria's name too loudly.
"Shut up. Why you saying my government out loud like that. Fuck"
(Government is British slang for saying someone birth name)
"Yo, Aria come over and say wagwan", the men at the gate said.
(Wagwan is Jamaican patois for how's it going, or what's going on. It's also a part of British slang)
"Shit" she said looking down she jogged over to the gate. The guy was decked out in gold chains, and wore a black Nike tracksuit, he had on black Jordans with the red.
"See, if you help us out you could have things like this. I see you're pretty fast. Do some jobs for me"
"My Dad, said I should speak to people like you"
"Really, well your Mum talks to us all the time. So we can't be that bad. Plus, your mother owes us, we helped her out when she needed help. Nod if you know what I'm saying" Aria nodded and then looked the man in his eyes. "Woooow, watch out guys this one has fire in her eyes. SO scary, ooooo. Hahaha, but you owe us, and unless you do some jobs for me. Your mumzy will continue to have those problems of hers"
(Mumzy is British slang for mother)
"Fine, I'll do the job. But if I get caught, I'll get kicked out of school"
"Don't worry, you're too fast to get caught. Matter of fact if you get my product where it needs to be, I'll give you some change. Maybe you tell your little friends about us."
"I'd rather not"
"I'd RaThEr NoT. Wow we have a posh one here. It's a shame. Now meet me by my car over there after you finish school. You come straight there Aria. I know your name know."
Present time (Phoenix POV)
See in my past life I became fast and agile for the wrong reasons. I used to be very good at gymnastics, if my parents invested any time into me and my future, I would probably be training for the Olympics. I could feel the wind in my hair. "Maybe I should have tied my hair up, not that it matters anyway I'm still gonna win. And you're going to own me"
"I don't think you'll be this fast. Well, I'm taking it easy on you", Kai said looking like he was going as fast as he can. One thing I learned was that I could focus my spiritual energy into my limbs, making me go faster, or become stronger and in some cases heal myself.
Kai POV
I don't know how she managed to get so far ahead in front, but it was almost like she wasn't trying. She kept turning around looking back at me smiling, I don't know whether it was because she wanted to make sure she wasn't going too fast or whether she was bragging. She looked back and giggled, at this point I think it's a bit of both. "Keep running, I can still hear their thought, but they are getting further away."
10 minutes later
Phoenix stood by the cliff looking out at the sea. "I think were far enough now" She said with the wind in her hair "And you lost so you owe me" she said giggling, it was kinda cute. She didn't even look out of breath, meanwhile I'm struggling to breathe.
"Like I said I was going easy on you"
"Sure, sure, all gracious Kai was so kind to the mere Nixy"
"Listen here Birdy. I helped you from the goodness of my heart. Now we should set up camp, and steer clear of the moonlight seeing as that's the most dangerous places"
Stranger POV
They stood by the cliff, Phoenix looking over at the sea. Kai looked memorised by her; it boiled my blood the way he looks at her. "They think, they managed to escape, it's kinda cute. Don't worry Darling I've got my eyes on them, they aren't doing anything dangerous"
