My Secret, My Bully, My Mates

Sitting around our never ending fire later that night, I am tucked into Cam's lap fighting sleep, but I don't want to go up to the room yet. If I go then they will all follow and I have been avoiding facing this all day. "Well, one more to go Little Bit. Do you think you can handle that tomorrow? That will give us two full days to mess around with this fire. We need to figure it out. I still don't totally understand what you are doing with the pentagram plants either, but I do know I feel better and you have never done anything bad to me...well except that time you beat my take down time..."

"Oh and she beat you at capture the flag..." Sierra helpfully points out.

"Do you remember the time she beat you at Martha's eating all those pancakes." Mateo laughs.

"Fine I take it back, you beat me at everything and do it graciously, so I still trust you. Better?" He asks the six of us still hanging out.

"I feel better today. I am tired, but it's nothing like breaking down the first two. I think the spells were stronger on the first two, but as the magic weakens the effects are still strong and hard to deal with." I told them about what I saw today as the magic fought me and reluctantly I told them about the other two crops' reactions. I'm trying to hear what the guys told me the other day. Even Oliver, who sees me and basically knows what I'm thinking at all times, said I keep a lot of things to myself. I really wanted to throw up at the looks on their faces, but I told them every detail of the visions I got. "I don't know if I will be ready to battle with the magic tomorrow, but I do want to train. I feel like I'm so off and I just need to run or something. I just need to move."

"I'm sure they could move you around plenty." Sierra laughs at me

"Shut up!" I take that as my cue and stand up. I need to leave before any more s*xual innuendos start. "Wouldn't matter anyway. I don't work like that right now." I say flippantly walking inside the house before anyone else can add their two cents.
