Hurry Up and Save Me: Chapter Three

I hopped along the side of a small stream. I let my toes dip into the water. My locket dangled off of my neck and bounced around as I moved. I stopped to touched it and the head of a lily formed in my hand. I breathed in it's perfume.
"Kiara, where are you?" Garretts voice called out to me.
"Back here!" I called to him.
I had fallen behind and wandered over to the stream. Now, I placed the lily in the water and watched it as it was tossed along in the water.
"You can't just wander off. If I loose you it won't be good." He came out from the thicket that was within a few yards from me.
I dropped my shoes and slid them on.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think I was far from you." I said lightly.
"For a princess you arn't very responsible." he said curtly.
I lowered my eyes.
"Put that away would you. Publicize your talent and get us caught. See how far we will get than." he continued.
I dropped my necklace inside the bodice of my dress to cover it up.
"Let's go." And we left the stream.
"What do you have against me?" I asked once we were far from the stream.
"You are treated with such care and with such love, when really you don't even possess a talent.
"My talent is Peace and Healing." I argued.
"Oh, really. Why don't you ever come to town and help the sick? Why don't you stop War and Death?" he asked.
"I-I well, I havn't been able to access all of my talent. I don't know how to use some of it." I stammered.
He chuckled. "I knew it."
My face flushed both from embarressment and anger. I stopped walking.
"How dare you! How dare you judge me and disrespect me!" I screamed at him.
He stopped dead in his tracks, surprised. "Tell me than what can you do?"
I became silent and the anger I had felt left. "Nevermind." I said, and dismissed the matter. I brushed past him to start walking again but he grabbed my arm. "Don't touch me." I mumbled and shook him off.
"I'm...sorry." he said.
"I get upset and now you're sorry?" I asked, "You're going to treat me the same way so don't bother to apologize.
He said nothing and we didn't talk for the rest of the day.
