"Relax, I don't plan on stealing your filthy fruit," his dark voice murmured. Instead, he stood looking down on me. Somehow, that bothered me a bit more than if he would have grabbed the apple right out of my hands.
"Look," I sighed, and with my free hand brushed my ebony hair away from my face. "Just tell me what you want." I stood up, tired of looking up at his smirk. Rather short, my eye level only met his chin.
"So glad you've asked!" A strange sparkle lit in his green eyes, and I felt a twinge of excitement pass through me. Or was it fear? It was hard to tell the difference now: adrenaline was adrenaline.
"You won't have to eat anymore garbage, Kat. I heard of a place, sort of like a market, not too far north near the old Wimbley building, that's giving away food rations! They have wonderful things, like watermelon and even chicken. I... was kind of hoping you'd come with me. I'm regrettably unsure whether I should go alone," And with that, he waited for an answer.
He had to be joking. It was too good to be true. "You do know it's probably a trap. To catch those not taken dring the Ascension, right?"
