Sweet Innocence

Yeah sure I’m safe since I stayed here..but that doesnt save me the guilt of knowing everyone else i loved is gone. Zan…you’re gone, my best friend EJ Is gone! My parents, my family! I’m safe but at what cost…

It just means that you still have things you need to do. I don't know what those things are, and I don't think I could tell you even if I knew. I doubt people want a big mouth like me spilling all the things that are supposed to remain mysteries. But you shouldn't feel guilty that we're gone Jayden, it was meant to happen.. No matter how unfortunate it was. I sometimes like to think EJ would have been fine if he hadn't been so depressed and had stayed in England like you.. But something else could have happened to him if he had stayed, who knows it might have been worse.

Yeah…gigantic lizards called Dragons? Thats completely normal…was that not for you? Of course this kinda freaks me out a little. I havent seen you in forever….you’ve been…gone. 

I'm just saying while dragons are normal to us it's odd to others.. So other people might see friends visiting them while they're asleep as not that strange either. Well it seems like you must be enjoying yourself a little though right..even though me and EJ can't be there. You'd have to be.. or else you would have gone home and ended up just like EJ. 

i’m glad you’re so confident. Its good too hear that from you Zan. You can make it through no matter what, I believe in you. We both just have to make it through. 

I don't know how, but since the ball I've just.. felt really good. I don't think my odds of winning are all that great, but I feel like maybe I could finish with a decent 3rd. Hopefully without giving my dad a heart attack in the process.

oh they’d be delighted. Death gives them joy i would assume. Pain and suffering seems to at least. I;m determined to make it through though. We can’t give up and give them the satisfaction they want. 

Of course it does. No person who hated the thought of people being harmed in anyway could not have thought of something so psychotic as this. We were just stupid enough to fall for the glitz of it. You think I'm going to let these Brits take me? I don't think so. I may be a little inexperienced, but that's not going to stop me from fight my hardest through the next task they throw at us.

yeah..sorry. I guess I’ m too on edge this crept up on me i can’t believe they’d just throw it at us. 

The more I think about it the less I am surprised. I'm sure they've waited this long to announce it for more drama. These people seem to thrive on it, just think how excited they would get if one of us were to cark it during this next task.

Is it no big deal? Cause i am freaking out. 

It's sarcasm Jayden, I thought a joke might make me feel better. I was very wrong.

coutureandchanel:

I know… I thought that they’d at least give us a two week warning…not a five day warning.

I don't know how they expect us to prepare for it. I mean, I'm still having nightmares about the last task. 

So soon...

This weekend? Oh.. I- oh my gosh. That's so soon. 

I don't think I would have made it out of the tower at all if it wasn't for all the help I've gotten. Congrats on second by the way. You did really well Jayden is a tough guy to compete against though. I'd love to see someone beat him in the next task just to see his surprise. It might do him a little good. A little preparation will help you a long way, I know it.

I know what you mean. This castle may be huge, but there are people everywhere you turn. A boy who goes here showed me a nice place to practice though. It's also just a nice get away sometimes.

Oh good, you almost gave me a heart attack Eli. Just so long as no one got hurt I suppose.. You really ought to be more careful of where you practice though. Next time you might not be able to control it.

Well has it been put out? You should tell a teacher or something about what happened. I'm sure they would be willing to help you figure the spell out in a much safer way.

So ummm....

What?! How did you manage that?
