The Opening

"Earine, Scarlet, Aquarine." I called them, before he could start. "We have to go. Come on." I said to them, because I was tired of hearing this age old mantra. As soon as they heard my voice, they came out. 


"Zoey listen." He put his hand on my fore arm stopping me leaving. 


"Lupus." I looked at the placement of his hand. As soon as he saw this he removed it quickly. "Listen I can't trust anyone, anymore. I'm going to whatever I have to do alone." I told him. 


"Zoey. You don't know what your dealing with." He said but I did not allow myself to feel anything sort of consolation emotion towards anyone. "Please allow me to help you, let me fix my mistakes." 


I felt angry and betrayed, but above all I was just confused. He told me to trust him, he saved my life from that snake when I first came here. I thought he was a friend, but just like the ones back home, he doesn't care about me. He isn't trustworthy anymore, in fact I'm not sure if he ever was.
