Eeeelloo peeps! How do you be?

BELLA JUST JOINED!!! 🙂

I am going to have some fun now…

Leytera

Leytera shoved herself further into the corner as the tall, muscular man approached. He held his sword as though it were a kitchen knife, and she was certain he could kill her with it he felt like it. And he clearly felt like it.

She gripped the concealer in her hand. It was buzzing. It was about to break, and it would reveal her when it did. Although, consider the man already knew she was there, that didn’t matter.

The bow and arrow strung across his back just added to Leytera’s paralyzing fear. She bit her lip.

A girl appeared next to the man, clutching two throwing knives. She clearly knew how to use them.

Leytera cringed further into the wall, but the rock wouldn’t give.

How did I get into this.

Stupid portal. Why had she decided to play with the Fringe? Bad plan.

The concealer buzzed and vibrated, and it got so hot it almost burned her hand.

Leytera winced.

“My sister will throw her knives into those shadows in ten seconds if you do not show yourself,” the man growled.

Leytera squeezed her eyes shut.

She couldn’t decide whether she would rather be skewered by some knives smartly aimed at nothingness or smartly skewered by a sword pointed at her heart when she came into view.

“Five… four… three-”

Leytera gave up and turned the concealer off. She took a step into the light and hid the technology in her belt.

Might as well die now.

“Who are you?” the tall man snapped.

“Um… my name is Leytera?” she said, and her voice quaked. She twirled a lock of her curly hair around a finger, wishing with everything she had she could just disappear.

“Do you know this man?” the man asked, gesturing to a different man who wore armor. He looked like he knew something about tech.

But Leytera had never seen him before.

Why is he asking?

“Um… no?”

The man huffed and glared at her. “Where did you come from?”

“Er… Calanor.”

Of course the man wouldn’t know where that was. But frankly, neither did Leytera.

She figured he also wouldn’t know where the Second Dimension was.

This didn’t seem like an Arctashian kind of place.

Which raised the question: Where am I?

The man raised an eyebrow.

“Never heard of it.”

Leytera stared at him, shivering.

Well of course he didn’t.

That was helpful…

The man scanned her one more time, then slowly started to lower his sword. Leytera watched the sharp tip slowly become less and less dangerous.

What does he think I’m going to do?

Right. Stranger danger.

The man finally sheathed it, nodding to the other girl to lower her guard.

Leytera stared, biting her lip hard.

“Are… are you going to hurt me?” she asked. Her voice quavered more.

Why can’t I be more like Arwick? Or Keylan! I want to be-

The man shook his head. “No. Not unless you give me reason to.”

Then he walked away.

The girl approached her, her blue eyes icy and threatening.

“If you hurt my brother, or any of these people, I will personally see to your death. Have a nice life.”

Then she flicked her ponytail in Leytera’s face and walked away.

Leytera wrinkled her brow.

What did I do to her?

Where was she?
