#Chapter6

Armarria staggered into the kitchen. Her body felt like lead from the lack of sleep and fevers throughout the night.

/"Sleep well?/"

She jumped, not seeing Melody. /"Yes…I mean no…how about you?/"

Melody looked down for a second. /"I slept ok./"

Armarria didn’t believe the girl at all from how she looked. Jet ran in as a blur.

/"Morning./" He spoke cheerfully. /"I will start breakfast before Shadow leaves./"

/"Sorry Jet. I will not have time. I must leave soon to make the plane./" Shadow said as he entered the kitchen. Jet frowned. /"Continue to make breakfast for everyone else./" Shadow reached into the fridge ignoring Armarria’s presence.

/"I’m sorry Shadow./" She spoke carefully to him, but as firmly as she could. /"I never wanted to endanger your family. I don’t have any family of my own so I understand how you must feel, to want them protected from everyone and everything. I would want that for my own./"
