Blair would have laughed, if she didn't feel a pang of guilt for yelling at her. "I guess I would. I don't have that problem, so I don't quite know what it feels like. I'm sorry, Annie." She gave the girl a small smile, and moved past her, her hand resting on Annie's shoulder just briefly as she passed. "Alright, everyone! Let's keep moving."
"Hmmm, it has it's ups and downs." Annie said smiling at the pun. "It would be so much cooler to be able to make plants grow though. I usually only fly when I'm really in a hurry, I'd probably use your power more often."
If I were you, I’d fly for fun, Cam thought. “I do use my powers often,” she said. “You should see my garden.”
"I should! Where do you live any way? We should totally get together all of us after this is done and hang out!"
When Blair entered the field, she paused for a moment. The wind had stopped, the plane falling into a uneasy silence. No crickets singing their songs. No owls calling out or coyotes howling after a successful kill.
“Ohio,” Cam said proudly. But could they really? She doubted she would see them again after all of this was done and over.
“Some way of getting through the evil trees then?” Kyle asked. They were just on the outskirts of the trees now, and the forest was bristling visually. They were even denser and thicker here than the other part of the forest, and were undamaged by the locusts.
The dark, bristling trees struck dread into Blair, her golden eyes narrowing at the sight of them. She didn't show it though, instead nodding to Cam. "If you can. Just be careful."
