You cant hide forever

"Like what exactly?"he laughed

 

"I don't know." She giggled. "You know her best, what do you think she'd like?"

 

"I dont know..."He muttered driving up the street,slower than he normaly would"She once told me she liked muggle camping....but I dont know...."he sighed"she was right....I barely know her anymore..."

 

"She's not that much different, not deep down. And you two actually are soul mates, so just think and I'm sure whatever comes to you will be right." She said, her tone dropping to a softer and more comforting one.

 

"Leaving was never my smartest move was it?"he chuckled darkly"If I'd never gone...it wouldnt be like this."

 

"We did try to warn you at the time River." She giggled weakly. "But Dad ran off on Mum when they were the age you left Hermia, and they worked it out. But then they were only six months, not six years... And Mum is no where near as proud and headstrong as Hermia..."

 

"Tell me about it..."he muttered

 

"But don't worry!" She said picking up again, trying to raise the spirits. "You'll figure something out. Personally I think she's just trying to avoid getting hurt again, subconsciously anyway. She probably doesn't want to risk going through the pain of when you left the first time again."

 

"She doesnt need to worry about me going away again.....Im not going back..."he said "Not matter how many they send after me"He muttered quietly

 

"You keep saying things like that!" She exclaimed, hearing the muttering under his breath. "What do you mean by that? What have you done? Have you gone AWOL or something stupid like that?"

 

"Ocean.."he sighed "Yes,I've gone AWOL....They dont know Im here....you cant tell anyone!"

 

Ocean scowled at her little brother and hit him between the shoulder blades as hard as you'd dare to hit the person driving the bike you're on the back of. "You idiot!" She shouted at him. "Have you gotten thicker in the last six years?!"

 

"Ow! Ocean...I had to get out of there.....everything they made us do.....what they did to us to make us do it...."he said driving faster now

 

"Couldn't you have gone through the proper channels to quit?" She glowered at him. "They could kill you you know!"

 

"They dont take kindly to quitters....the only way to leave is to die....or go AWOL.."He said glancing behind him"And they have to find me first to kill me."

 

"Why did you even get involved with these people in the first place River...?" She sighed. "No good ever comes from places you can't quit..."

 

"I dunno..."He muttered shrugging

 

"You're really not the brightest spark. Are you?" She giggled weakly. Unsure of what else to say on the matter. What do you say when you could be attacked at any moment by the guys who are trying to kill your brother?

 

"Never was."he grinned"You and Elena got the brains."he said skidding to a stop infront of their grandparents house "I got the looks"he added cheekily.

 

"You wish!" She cackled. "I got the looks and brains, you got absolute squat."
