I still can't believe Jasmine isn't a beautiful peaceful goddess but some maggoty, pus filled demon. And it was her blood that showed me the truth. I turn to Fred and give her a look of loss as we move down the tunnels. It was brave what she did, shooting through Jasmine to show me the truth. She doesn't give herself enough credit. She can be pretty strong when she wants to be. We stop in the middle of a tunnel and take a break from running. I lean up against the wall and she stands unsure of herself.
"You did the right thing, Fred. It took a lot of courage." She turns away and I move closer to her trying to make her see it. "It must've been hard for you." I realize what she's been going through and I wait for her answer.
When she turns around I can see she has tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry. I've been so alone and scared. (shakes her head) I'm not like you, not a champion."
"Everything I see says different." I put my hand to her face to really show how proud I am of her. She wipes away her tears and continues on with a plan.
"We need more of Jasmine's blood. We have to help the others." I agree with her and then reason about how hard it is to get close to her because it's Jasmine. She turns to me newly ready to take on whatever Jasmine uses against us. I am proud of her.
"Then we need another way." Suddenly, I remember something but decide not to say it. It's horrible and a little disgusting but she interrupts my thoughts. "What?"
"It's pretty horrible, but ma-" And suddenly she's up against me kissing me. Insinctively I put my arm around her and deepend the kiss as I hear two Jasmine followers pass. I mumble Jasmine through our kissing and they don't stop. I pull back as they dissapear around the corner. "They seemed to buy that." I say as I step back. But for some reason I can't get that kiss out of my head. It was just a kiss out of survival but I felt, something else in it. Something that had been dormant until now.
"We have to keep moving." I reason and shove it to the back of my mind. The main thing now is getting out of dodge.
