"Wake up." I hear a male voice say and blink away to familiar jagged markings.
"Ahh!" I scream as I see Ingressus hovering over me. "WHY ARE YOU JUST HOVERING OVER ME LIKE THAT?!"
"Sorry." He says then smiles. "I want to take you Achillean to play a game."
"Alright, but what time is it?" I ask and he glances around before looking out of the entrance.
"About midnight but that's nothing." He says and grins at me as I roll my eyes and get off of the bed.
"Come on, and get dressed..." He says noticing that I'm in one of my most comfortable crop tops which is pretty revealing.
"HEY!" I scream and slap him gently then get out of bed and push him and Achillean out of the room.
"I'm your brother!" Achillean points out.
"Exactly! That just makes it worse!" I yell and slam the door shut, changing into my normal cover and my normal crop top turning back towards the door and opening it, to find Ingressus gone.
"He left already." Achillean shrugs and we quietly walking towards the woods. We don't want to wake the grown ups, they'll kill us for being out this late. Once we reach the area I see Ingressus grinning.
"Finally! You two were taking forever!" He says and I roll my eyes.
"Let's climb to the top of the pillars." He says and points to the top of the large pillars of dirt and patches of grass at the top. I fold my arms as he grins.
"Come on!" He says and runs at the rocks before pushing himself off onto a tree, grabbing onto a branch and sitting down on one branch.
"Come on." He says and watches us as he jumps down. "Lets go lets go!"
"Alright." I say and look at Achillean as he grins then darts at the pillar and starts climbing it. I frown then run forward and start climbing it as well, Ingressus follows and reaches my level. I roll my eyes as he grins. He starts climbing higher, getting past Achillean and evenutally reaching the top.
"Hurry up!" Ingressus calls and I glance back down at the ground, starting to feel sick. Achillean glances back as I shake it off then keep climbing. I put my hand on a rock feeling my fingers start to slip. I go pale at the realization that my other arm is not holding onto something. I feel my hand fall off of the rock and my feet slip. Ingressus tenses up and I see his mustles show as he stares. I feel all of my balance slip and in a moment I'm falling down, my hair flying up in my face, blocking my view of anything other than Ingressus and Achillean.
"Addy!" I hear Ingressus scream.
"No!" Achillean yells at the same time. I see Ingressus jump down after me. I feel less air under me and then a loud crack echoes in my ears as I crash onto the ground. I start to feel lightheaded, unable to feel any of my limbs. I look over at my hair splayed around me, and then I see it darken as if it's wet then my gold blood seeps out from under my hair and I try to widen my eyes but find myself unable to. Ingressus lands beside me and I see his skin grow pale.
"Achillean! She's bleeding! We need to take her to the healers!" I hear him yell then my vision grows fuzzy. I see golden markings beside me and feel myself get lifted up my head moving to the side, all I see are lightning-like markings. Ingressus... I think and he grips my hand tightly. I see the light of several more yellow markings and hear a few gasps before my consciousness fades completely.
~~*~~
"Addy?" I hear a male voice whisper. "Please be alright..."
"Ingressus?" I mumble and open my eyes to see him hovering over me. He smiles and hugs me. I hug him back and see father standing in the room with Ingressus.
"Where's Achillean?" I ask and sit up before Ingressus pushes me back down.
"You're bleeding pretty badly..." He says as Achillean walks into the room with a worried expression.
"Oh thank goodness you're alright." He says and walks over to me hugging me.
"You should all know better than to go out at that hour." Father says sternly. "Achillean think about what could have happened to your sister."
"You mean what did happen to her, it's my fault--" Achillean starts.
"No it's mine, I was the one who wanted to go out there in the first place, it's my fault she's hurt." Ingressus says and father sighs.
"Im not angry with any of you, you're just kids trying to have fun but she could have died if you two haven't taken her to the healers the moment she landed." He says and smiles. "That I think you for."
Ingressus and Achillean smile.
"But you two need to be careful... bad things happen to kids who don't listen..."
