"This is.... this is okay, I guess, I mean at least it's warm here, right? " Xavier was looking around the room. "We aren't in the cave anymore, and no one can find us here," Xavier said looking around at everything. They just couldn't get the uneasiness out of their stomach and it was making them feel a lot sicker than usual. They knew they needed to eat, but here it was just weird, foreign. So they did the only thing that they could do, spread out some of the few things they had and try to get some rest. "How's your back?" Xavier asked. He hoped that the walk hadn't been too hard on her.
"It's okay, I'm okay, but I just want to lay down for a bit," she said, looking at the cot. They had been sleeping on dirt for so long that even the small army cot looked inviting. She started to groan as she tried to take off her sweatshirt, but then after a few minutes, he came over and helped. After taking off her socks and shoes she laid down and started to sleep. Xavier pulled the blanket up over her and let her sleep, he would lay down on the floor in a bit. He just needed to find out what was going on.
Not more than 15 minutes after she left the woman came back looking angry and frustrated, "Well, he's busy. So the best I can do is see if I can take care of things for a few hours," she said crossing her arms over her chest. "So my name is Anna but you already know that I've ordered some pizza and you guys can get cleaned up, but still tell me how this happened, I really need to know." She pulled a chair over so he could sit on one of the other chairs and he began to tell her everything.
"Now, this is kinda embarrassing, so don't go and share it with a ton of people." Anna shook her head showing she understood. "My name is Xavier Castillo, I'm supposed to be 17. This is Willow Lockman, and she is 15" He looked at her and she nodded to continue."About a year ago, she started at my high school, now everyone that I hung out with thought she was a geek, you know quiet always with a book. I needed a tutor for a few of my classes and she was the one I got, my grades got better and that was the only thing that I was worried about but with her looks, I guess some of the girls felt threatened by her being around me so much. They had bought a few books on magic, mostly love spells and stupid stuff like that," Xavier made a face as he said this. "Now I always thought it was nonsense and just let them do what they're going to do for there was no stopping them from being stupid. This time they cast one on me and when I asked about it, they said it was to bring you to the one you are truly meant to be with. I guess the bleach messed with their brain cells because they thought that was one of them without question. So homecoming week starts and they seem more like backround characters and I keep trying to go after Willow. I even cut one or two football practices to go and find her. It seems like I need her and when she isn't there..."
"You're about to die. That about right?" Anna asked, looking harshly at him. "Did they ever tell you the name of the spell?" She hoped that it wasn't what she was thinking of.
"No...just that it was meant to find the love that nothing under the heavens could destroy," Xavier recalled. "I thought it was them just trying to win me back or something," Xavier said looking over at Willow as she began to toss and turn.
"I think I heard someone at the door, must be the pizza, I'll go and get it," she said " oh and Xavier....that was a lot of help." and she went to go and get the front door.
