[Saphire Reign]

We had been walking fast for two hours and I was falling behind. I wasn’t going to say anything thou because I didn’t want to hear anything out of either of them.

Finally, about twenty minutes later Alec looked behind him to see me around five yards behind them. He stopped “We’ll stay here tonight. I got to where they were and tried not to breath heavy.

After we got camp set up and were sitting around the fire Alec sighed “Alexis, I think I should tell you want I want you to do now.” I sighed “OK, what’s my punishment?”
“You will make every meal for us and get our water.” He smiled and lay against a tree. I suspiciously looked at him “Is that it?” He nodded so I dropped it.

My eyes opened before the sunrise this morning. I sat up and looked at the fire, it was almost dead. I took in a deep breath and it smelled of rain. I stood up and stoked the fire.

When Alec’s eyes opened, I smiled “Breakfast is done.” He unsurely took the scrambled eggs “This won’t kill me, will it?” I laughed evilly “You never know.” I turned back to the fire as Alec smirked.

The sun finally came over the horizon and Alec handed me back the plate “I’ve not had a homemade food for a while now.” I smiled “You never know when I’ll poison you.” He cocked his head “Now, now.” All the sudden Lecto woke up and saw the plate Alec had handed me “Master, did you eat something that the human made?!” He nodded; Lecto freaked “No, no master. She could try to poison you, never eat her stuff without me tasting it first.” Alec glared at him “Who is the Master here and who is the servant?” Lecto backed up “SORRY, master. Sorry.” Alec nodded. I smirked and handed Lecto a plate of eggs. He took it, sneered at me, and started eating.

Around 8:00am I asked Alec “So, “master” Alec, what’s your plan?”
“First off we need to find a Hemolo by the name of Katsutoshi.”
“OK, and how are we supposed to find this Katsutoshi?”
“Oh, he makes himself easy enough to find.”
“I’ll ask again, were?”
“Once we hit the land of Ai, he will find us.” I slowly nodded “Well what are we waiting for then?” Alec stood up “We are going to run today, shall I carry you?” Lecto nodded “Yes master you can carry me.” He rolled his eyes “Not you stupid, you can keep up with me. Alexis.” I looked at him, somewhat surprised “Um, sure.” He knelt down and I got on us back. He put his hands under my butt to hold me in place “Hold on, Alexis.” I felt my face flush a little as I put my arms around his neck. I felt him tense, surprisingly. Lecto cleared his throat “Well let’s go shall we?” Alec nodded “Yep, let’s go.” He started running down the road.
