-Running away-
Kendra’s POV
Kendra was walking away from the clearing when she heard somebody call her name, “Kendra!” It was Warren, she couldn’t look at him, so she started running. “What’s wrong? Kendra?” When Kendra kept running she heard Warren start coming after her, great, how was she going to outrun Warren he was so much taller than her.
Eventually, Warren caught Kendra by the arm “What’s wrong? Why are you running away from me?” Warren asked, trying to get her to look at him, “Bracken and Seth, they,” No, she couldn’t say it, it was too hard. “I have to go, leave me alone Warren,” Kendra said, trying to get out of his grip but he held tight.
“Kendra, what happened?” Warren asked, taking Kendra by the shoulders.
“Ronodin, he killed Seth and Bracken,”
“What? No,” Warren said as if Kendra would lie about this, if she could change it she would.
“Go see for yourself, all the bodies are in the clearing.”
“All the bodies? Is Ronodin dead?” Warren asked. After hesitating for a second Kendra decided to tell Warren the truth, “Yes, I killed him,” Kendra said, with no regret.
“And where are you going with those?” Warren asked, pointing at the crown and Vasilis, “The Fairy Queen is that way, you’re going to give it back to her right?”
“Warren, I can’t, not yet I have things to do, I have to try and fix what the dragons have done,”
“Um, I don’t know if you’ve noticed but that’s Dragon Watch’s job, you know the organization you’re a part of?”
“I need to do this alone Warren, to keep everybody safe,”
“And who’s going to keep you safe? You have friends to get you through this.” Why wasn’t he listening to her? Kendra was doing all of this to protect people! She couldn’t let anybody else get hurt because of her. “No Warren! Don’t you see, everybody around me dies. I'm doing this to keep you safe,” Kendra said, pulling away from Warren taking a few steps back so that he couldn’t grab her again if she ran.
“No, Kendra, let me help you through this, please,”
“I only want everybody to be safe. I just want to fix everything. I hate Ronodin for what he did, now, he’s gone but there are still people out there who could hurt more people.” Kendra said, trying to explain this needed to be done.
“Kendra you’re angry, sad, lost, I get it. Believe me, I know what it’s like to feel like you have nothing, but you still have so much to hold on to. You are making a mistake, you’re a good person, don’t do this. Every day you’ll lose more of who you are. Every person you go after will lead you further down a path that is hard to come back from. Bracken and Seth would not have wanted this for you.” Warren said.
“Don’t tell me what they would have wanted! I’m pretty sure they would want to still be alive, and they’re not and it doesn’t really matter what they would have wanted, does it?”
“Kendra becoming the villain is not how you should go about this, let me help you,” Warren said taking a few steps towards Kendra,
“Is that what you think I’m doing? I’m getting rid of the villains not becoming one, the world will be safer if I do this. Just let me go,”
“Never, I will always believe in you, and I will always protect you, whether you like it or not.”
“This is my choice to make Warren I’m not a little girl anymore,”
“Kendra please, just come back to the camp and we can figure this out,”
“No!” Kendra noticed Warren start squinting, she was glowing again. Kendra tried to concentrate and she got the light to form around her hands, then she pushed out the energy picturing a wall between her and Warren. “What the? How did you do that?” Warren asked.
Kendra had no idea how she was doing this, it scared her, but she could learn to use this,
“I- I don’t know, just leave me alone,” Warren started walking to the edge of the forcefield trying to get over to where Kendra was but Kendra used her power again and made the wall so big that there was no way he’d get around it.
“Don’t come looking for me Warren, you won’t find me,” Kendra said and turned her back to him, then she started running ignoring his calls for her to come back.
