OOf. This is long, but it's helping me take my mind off the movie.

Rita

WAM!

'''“Stupid shelf…” I muttered as I got out of bed. I was so mad at everything going on right now. It had been three days and Aud was still not home. I was growing desperate. In my fury and emotional angst I grabbed an old axe of the wall and hacked the shelf from the wall. Sobbing while doing this I finally got it off after five more chops and I sank to my knees on the side of the bed and sobbed. Someone broke into my room and ran to my side. As soon as they started talking I knew it was Kate. I must have made to much ruckus. '''

'''“Rita!? What happened here?” she concerningly asked. I just fell apart into her arms and sobbed on her shoulders. I was so scared. What was Aud going through? Kate just hugged me as I tried to control my voice enough to talk.'''

'''“I-I-I-I’m s-s-scared K-k-kate. W-w-what are th-th-they doing to Aud? What if sh-sh-she got hurt?” I paused to take another deep breath before revealing my greatest fear. “W-w-what if they killed her?’ I whispered and followed with a quiet sob.'''

'''“Oh…” Kate said sorrowfly sighed before pulling me closer. I love Kate. '''

'''“That’s not gonna happen. I promise. We’ll get Aud back. Aiden is making plans right now.” Then she pulled me from her hug and grasped my shoulders intensely looking at me.'''

'''“Aud is okay. Nothing has happened to here. If anything they will want to question her on our whereabouts. Not kill her. I promise she is okay. You understand?” I nodded with one more tear before wiping my face dry. I hugged her again and replied,'''

'''“Thanks Kate. Your the best friend ever.” We broke from the hug and I got up to go help her with breakfast. However all throughout the preparation, I could see something was bothering her. I put down my mixing spoon and looked at her.'''

'''“Kate? Are you okay?” I asked.'''

'''“Of course! Why wouldn’t I be?” She said before trying to fake a smile. Then I knew something was wrong.'''

'''“Kate. C’mon I know you enough to know your not okay. You just helped me out a lot. I really want to be there to help you. You know you can come to me anytime right?” I said. Kate nodded and I continued.'''

'''“So what’s bugging you?” I asked. Kate sighed and then started talking.'''

'''Two hours later, I was walking through some woods near the base kicking a rock as I walked. Poor Kate. I thought. I knew she always struggled with self worth, but this seemed to be getting worse. I’m sure these Harn people made it no easier for her. I wanted to help her, and I just had to think about a couple things. Lost in thought, I screamed when someone popped in front of me from a hidden path behind the brush.'''

'''“Oh. Sorry didn’t mean to scare you.” A boy said.'''

'''“Oh. No sorry. My bad for screaming. I was pretty distracted and...well nevermind. I’m Rita.” I said while throwing out my hand to shake.'''

'''“Ah. Okay. I’m Erick!” He said, smiling warmly. I smiled back and then asked,'''

“So what are you doing all the way out here?”

'''“Eh. Just some exploring. I have a pretty nomadic life.”'''

'''“Ah. I see.” I replied'''

“You?” He asked.

'''“Eh. Mostly just trying to figure stuff out. Walks kinda calm me.” I answered. He nodded and said,'''

“Well I hope it’s not bad stuff to figure out.” I smiled and shook my head, slowly losing my grin.

'''“No, it’s my twin. She-well...She and I went to capture our father with our half sister and she got captured. I’ve been really worried about her. My friends and I are trying to figure out a way to get her back. On top of this my best friend is dealing with questioning her self-worth, and I’m trying to figure out a way to help her.” I finished. Then I realized I had started rambling about all my life’s problems. “Sorry. I kinda rambled there.”'''

'''“Oh your fine! I’m a pretty good listener. I like listening to people. I mean. Wait. Like I don’t like hearing about your bad life-not that your life is bad. It’s good. Wel-” I chuckled and said,'''

'''“No, it’s olay. I understand what you mean.” He smiled and I started walking again. He followed and said,'''

“So, tell me about yourself.”

'''“Well I think you already know alot about me. Oh. I’m a guardian!” I said. Finding something interesting about myself to say. He gasped.'''

'''“NO Way! That’s so cool! I’ve always wanted to meet a real life guardian. Ah. Finally! My life long dream since I was knee-high to a nadder has been completed!” He dramatically said with hand movements and all. I stopped walking to laugh. '''

'''“So, what about you? So far all I know is that your a nomad who is also pretty funny.” I asked. He put his hands on his heart and gasped.'''

'''“AW! Really? I’m so touched!” he said sweetly. I laughed again.'''

“Well, I’m really a nomad, because I have been trying to chase someone.” He said.

“Oh really?” I asked surprised.

'''“Yea. He attacked my family a couple years ago, robbing my parents of all their books and secrets about dragons before killing them. Ever since then I have been trying to chase down the guy. He goes by the name of Harn.” He said. I stopped in my tracks and spun around. '''

'''“Wait. Back it up...a Harn guy?”'''

“Yea...Do you know him?”

'''“He is the guy who has my sister apparently. I’ve never met him, but my best friend and her guy friend have had a couple face offs with the Harns. They also work with my father. We don’t know why they are attacking all these people!” I said. He looked at me in wonder.'''

“Wow…” He said.

'''“Yea. So if your seeking to avenge your family, your welcome to join our group. We have a couple non-guardians affected by this too. We need as much people as possible to get these guys.” I said. He smiled and answered,'''

'''“Thanks I’d like that.” I smiled back and kept walking. Suddenly I came to a muddy area and carefully walking through it, I navigated through the area covered in brush. However, there was a hidden drop in front of me and I slipped. A hand caught me and pulled me back off the edge of the green covered precipice. I opened my frightened eyes to see Erick’s concerned face. '''

'''“You okay?” He asked. '''

'''“Yea, thanks. I’m fine.” He nodded and smiled. I smiled back. Then realizing I was still holding his hand, I awkwardly let go. I coughed and then said,'''

“So, where can I find you when we're ready to get this attack together?”

'''“Oh. I have a little camp from a few minutes from here. Here.” He said handing me a map with his location marked.'''

'''“Thanks. I’ll keep in touch.” I said. “I should probably get going now then.” '''

'''“Okay. Be careful of the mud now dearie. Wouldn’t want you slippin again on those wee feet.” He said in an old grandma voice. I laughed and replied, '''

'''“Thanks. I will. Bye Erick!”'''

'''“Bye Rita. Nice meeting you.” I nodded and smiled before running off still smiling.'''

'''Later that evening, I was again on a walk, but this time with Kate. It was really quiet between us in the darkness. I stopped and faced her.'''

'''“Kate. You know I’m always here...Right?” I said. She nodded. I continued.'''

'''“Kate. Those jerks are trying to get into your head. You are NOT nothing. You know that’s not true. And you have us guardians to prove it. If you are facing these people, and they are trying to make you do things you don’t want to do, you need to show them your strong brave side. The side that has fought battles for her dragon, cured my dragon when I was down, and insisted helping me through every trial I went through. Kate, you can’t believe what they say. They just want to bring you down. When they tell you to move, or try to convince you your nothing. You stand strongly in front of them, ignore their comments and say ‘No. You move’. Kate, you are so special to me. I hate seeing you think you are a worthless nobody. That’s not true. You help so many people. That’s not for nothing. You-you are unique Kate. There is no other Kate Olsen in the world! Don’t let the world take that from you.”'''

'''Kate looked at me. Astonished. Then a couple tears came to her eyes and I hugged her. It felt really nice to finally help Kate. I just hope it affected her.'''

'''“Well, how sweet is this.” A man’s voice said. We broke apart and jumped as we stared at the guy, startled.'''

'''“Harn.” Kate growled. Realizing who this was, I clenched my face. '''

'''“YOU SON OF A TROLL! WHERE IS MY SISTER?!” I yelled. He smiled, showing the most ugly teeth in the world.'''

'''“Oh don’t worry. She’s in a better place now.” I gasped and fought back a couple tears.'''

'''“No-no-no you didn’t. Prove it.” I snarled. He took a step forward and pulled out a bloody shirt. Aud’s bloody shirt. I gasped and let out a quiet sob. Kate grabbed my hand.'''

'''“Oh don’t worry. Her death was quite painful if that offers any comfort.” He smuggly said. I fell to the floor on my knees sobbing. My sister...gone…'''

'''“YOU EVIL PILE OF YAK DUNG!” Kate shouted. Mr. Harn just laughed. '''

'''“Everyone has an opinion. Don’t you worry though. I’ll be back.” He said before laughing back into the bushes where he mounted his dragon and flew away. I sat there. Sobbing the most anguished cries. Kate hugged me and blew her horn. I couldn't think. I was numb. I kept sobbing and smacking the ground. '''

“No, no no no no! Aud!” I sobbed.

'''Dragons landed around us as the others came, answering Kate’s horn. Isla gasped and Aiden clenched his fists. He looked at Kate fearfully wondering what happened. Kate sadly nodded and Aiden hung his head. Isla stood there numb and Kat ran to offer more comfort. Vix just stood there, pitiful sadness written on his face. I couldn’t stop sobbing. My sister...My comfort...My life….My heart...My other half...ripped from my life. Forever.'''
