“Let me go” Amber said. “Please, let me go”
Jeremy didn’t move. He wished Kelsey would get back soon. It had taken him all his strength to tie Amber up.
“Let. Me. Go!” Amber screamed. She moved her body up and down and pulled her hands to make them loose.
“Sssh! Shut up!” Jeremy sinabi when he heard footsteps on the stairs.
“Jeremy?” Alaric said. “Is everything okay?”
“Eh, yeah, I’m watching a movie on my computer” Jeremy replied, with his hand on Ambers mouth. “Sorry, I’ll put my earphones in”
“Okay” Alaric said.
“Aaahh” Jeremy exclaimed.
“Jeremy?” Alaric sinabi startled. The latch went down.
“It’s nothing” Jeremy hastily said. “I bumped my knee to my desk”
The latch went up again. “Okay” Alaric said. “We’ll have hapunan soon”
“Yeah, thanks” Jeremy sinabi and he sighed relieved as he heard Alaric going back downstairs. He looked at his bleeding hand. “You bit me” he sinabi upset.
“She did what?”
Jeremy turned around and saw Kelsey at his window. He showed his hand.
“Damn it, Amber. You should be thankful Jeremy took care of you” Kelsey said. Amber raised her eyebrows. “It’s been a while since I last picked up a dictionary, but I’m pretty sure that tying someone up is not the definition of ‘taking care of someone’”
“Do you have the cure?” Jeremy asked, but Kelsey didn’t have to answer. Her face sinabi it all. “I’m sorry, Am” she sinabi hoarse.
“Ah, well… told you so” Amber said. Kelsey looked at Jeremy. “I know this is weird and in a way rude, but could you leave us alone for a moment?”
“Yeah, sure, I have to have hapunan anyway” Jeremy sinabi soft. He got off the kama and walked outside of his room.
Kelsey walked to the kama and untied her sister.
“Thanks” Amber sinabi grumpy, rubbing her wrists.
“How bad is it?” Kelsey referred to the bite. Amber rolled up her sleeve and showed her infected arm. “Okay, you can put it away now” Kelsey said, feeling a little sick.
“Kelsey” Amber sinabi soft. “You promised me you would tell me what happened between you and our parents when I was ready for it. I don’t think I could be madami ready”
Kelsey nodded. She was right. There was no better time. “Alright, but let’s get you outside. Fresh air will do you good”
She pulled Ambers arm over her shoulder and dragged her to the window. She stepped on the window-ledge and jumped.
