Another Vital Vocaaaaab!

So the first Vital Vocab I posted had to do with Bea leaving, Anthony and Shade running after her. Bea had stolen the Army's jewels, but why? And where is she going? Well here's the new update for that!! :O

      I ran and ran, my breathing hard, my lungs refusing to accept anymore running, but I kept at it. I didn’t want to be caught. So I dealt with the burning until I reached a large tree, reaching the sky. I smiled, panting. “Yo!” I shouted.
      A man dropped down, graceful and precise. He stood and smiled at me, noticing the bag at my hip. “So you really went through with it, huh, Beatrix.” He said, strolling up to me and taking the bag. He weighed it and nodded. “Good job.” I smiled, appreciating the kudos.
      “Why did you need the jewels again, Nate?” I asked, trying to control my breathing. We started walking and the tree opened up to us as we stepped into a tunnel. He tied the bag to his belt, before turning to me and flashing a smile.
      “It’ll help us not be so latent anymore. As you can see we’re minuscule, this will help us grow, develop. Also, it’s a nice message to the Army.” He added as the tunnel opened up to the clearing, a large tree hollowed out to make room for a small rebel army, the Shadows. I grinned, jubilant of how much I was helping the Shadows. That’ll show you, Lizzie, Hank, Tyler. I’m useful.
      “Anyways, I’ll take you to Lea. She’ll show you where you need to go.” He started walking up the stairs, but paused. “Except, ah, don’t judge her too harshly. She’s a bit...special.” He tapped his head. “Very smart. Mmh...too smart, really. She’s a bit laconic. When she does speak, it’s too fast for us to understand sometimes.” He gave a small, exasperated smile, but there was something behind his eyes; I came to realize that it was lucid that he liked her. I smirked, rolling my eyes.
    “Lead the way, loverboy.”

*waggles eyebrows* Nate's got a crush on an insaaaaane girrrrl~~
