Several hours later, I tell my parents good night and walk out of their tent to find two guys waiting for me. I glance at Valen before walking past him and heading straight to Thane. CheeChee jumps from Thane's shoulders and lands on mine with a big smile.
Valen turns around and grabs my hand as he says "Valerie, we need to talk." Thane glares at Valen but he doesn't say anything. I turn around and slowly look up to him to say "Not right now. Anything you say right now won't put this fire out inside me. It threatens to burn everything."
I jerk my hand away and glare at him in silence before turning around and walking past Thane. Thane glares at Valen for a moment longer before turning around and following behind me. I keep going until we're far enough away from the others.
