Actually, I believe it's "Ellas son locas." "Es" is the "ser" form of el or ella, but when it's plural, it becomes "son." Just letting you know; I'm a Spanish Nerd like that. XD Anyways.. update real sooN!!!!

Chapter 8
The girls had retreated, leaving Ariana to her peace for a few moments to compose herself before going out to speak to them. Lying on the bed, she tilted her head to gaze out the window, noting half-heartedly that the sky was completely black; not a single star shone.
Great. Wonderful. That was reassuring.
A soft knock sounded on the door; she sighed, closing her eyes. “Come in,” she called. “Ari?”
She sat up at the familiar voice. “Oh, Chris, hey,” she greeted. “What’s up?”
I’ve given up on giving up slowly I’m blending in so you won’t even know me Apart from this whole world that shares my fate And this one last bullet you mention Is my one last shot at redemption Cause I know to live you must give your life away
Chris closed the door with a soft click, walking across the room and sitting next to Ariana on the bed; she resumed lying on her back, at total ease with the boy. “You okay?” he asked softly. “You were hurt pretty bad.” “I’m fine. Leah’s a good healer. She healed my wound like it was nothing.” “Still…”
Chris lowered his hand, gently brushing her once-wounded side; Ariana reached out, gently closing her fingers around his wrist, her eyes locking with his.
“Chris, this wasn’t your fault.” Her voice was firm. “It’s probably mine more than anyone else’s. I let my guard down and I paid the consequences.” “But…” “No buts, I said—“ “I was supposed to protect you…”
And I’ve been housing all this doubt And insecurity And I’ve been locked inside that house All the while you hold the key And I’ve been dying to get out And that might be the death of me And even though there’s no way of knowing Where to go I promise I’m going
Ariana scowled, releasing Chris’s wrist. “No one’s supposed to protect me,” she whispered roughly, sliding her hand under her head and focusing her eyes on the ceiling. “No one. Never again.”
Chris bit his lip, gazing down at her. She’d always been stubborn; doubly so since Dallas had died. “It wasn’t your fault, you know,” he murmured at last. “Dallas died for you. He wouldn’t want you to blame yourself.” “Stop.” Her voice shook. “Just stop.”
A moment… then…
“No.”
Because I got to get out of here I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake I got to get out of here And I’m begging you I’m begging you I’m begging you to be my escape
She sat up sharply, eyes burning. “Dammit, Chris…”
Instead of reacting to her very obvious anger, Chris instead gently laid his hand over her own, and gazed at her.
“You told me it wasn’t my fault, remember? The death of my parents, all of it. Hell, you whacked me over the head because I wouldn’t listen.”
Ariana smirked, lifting her free hand to brush loose strands of his hair out of his eyes. Chris continued.
“So why don’t you take your own advice for once?” “Because…” “Because what? What makes you different, Ari? What makes you to blame?”
I’ve given up on doing this alone now Cause I’ve failed and I’m ready to be shown how You’ve told me the way, and I’m trying to get there And this life sentence that I’m serving I admit, that I’m every bit deserving But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
“Because I was there.” She lowered her eyes, chewing on her bottom lip. “Because I did nothing, just watched it happen. That’s why, Chris.” “… You’re… never gonna let this go, are you?” “Not until the Elite is destroyed… I don’t know…”
Chris tilted his head to one side. “And what happens when the Elite is destroyed?” “What do you think?” She reached out, lacing her fingers with his. “I go where I go, and you continue training to control the Generations Dragon. There’s no ‘what if’ about it; it’s set in stone, and it can’t be changed, Chris, you know that.”
He nodded, his throat feeling dry and tight. “Yeah,” he rasped. “Yeah. “I know.”
Because I’ve been housing all this doubt And insecurity And I’ve been locked inside that house All the while you hold the key And I’ve been dying to get out And that might be the death of me And even though there’s no way of knowing Where I’m going I promise I’m going because…
“Thank you for admitting it.” She closed her eyes.
Chris laughed softly, rubbing the back of his neck; his hand slowly fell away. “And where will you go… when this is over?” “You’re asking the wrong person…”
He knew he was, and yet he still needed the reassurance; but it was something she’d never been able to give him. He rolled his shoulders and sighed, gazing out the window. “No stars tonight,” he muttered. “Yeah.”
I got to get out of here Cause I’m afraid that this complacency is something I can’t shake again I got to get out of here And I’m begging you I’m begging you I’m begging you to be my escape
“Sucks, doesn’t it?” Ariana laughed softly. “It really sucks.” “Yeah, but… you know… you could have just left them…” “Like hell…”
Chris opened his mouth, but Ariana was already shaking her head. “They know nothing about the Elite,” she murmured. “Absolutely nothing. They’d charge in there and get their foolish heads chopped off in five seconds. Maybe less.” “Softie.” “You know it.”
It got a tired smile out of her, which soothed him; then she sighed softly, resting her forehead against his. His cheeks flushed, but he didn’t pull away.
I am a hostage to my own humanity Self detained and forced to live in this mess I’ve made And all I’m asking is for you to do what you can with me But I can’t ask you to give what you already gave
“We really should do something about this,” he muttered. “Mm.” She didn’t pull away. “It’s getting kind of hard to ignore.” “Yeah.”
But neither of them made any move in or out; the thin line they walked was a line they were both familiar with, and neither was willing to move from it quite yet, even though they knew they’d have to sooner or later.
“Can we go back to when everything was simple?” “When was anything ever simple?”
Because I got to get out of here I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake I got to get out of here And I’m begging you I’m begging you I’m begging you to be my escape
A moment of silence stretched; finally Chris sighed, pulling away. “We should go out,” he said. “They want to know what we should do about the Elite.” “Yeah.” Ariana rose, stretching.
For a moment, she cast a glance back over her shoulder at the window; still dark, she mused.
Still no stars. She wondered if that meant something.
“Let’s go.”
End chapter 8
