Week 13: An Arduous Journey

Prompt: Write a chapter from one of your work in progress.

A/N: This WIP is the sequel of my book ''Magical Journey''. I have this sequel in my work in progress since January 2020... More than a year! Well let's do this!

Kind of spoiler alert if you want to read my other book... Yeah, I think it's quite obvious, but now you can't say I didn't warn you! :P

So to put you in context: The bad guys tried to steal something away from the good guys but they failed (yay for the good guys!). The good guys travelled the whole island to bring the youngest of their group finally back home and... Well things are about to go wrong.... *dramatical music*

----

*In the middle of the Maldock Wilderness*

Gaelle was pacing back and forth in front of the fire pit in the commun area of their hideout. Marcus was sitting on his chair, watching her with an amused look ''You are making me a little dizzy here!''

''He spent the whole night with him, Marcus! How could he do this to me!? Once he was asleep he could have left to come back to me!''

''Felix went through something really hard, calm down! You know we need him for our plan. Malik is comforting him so he doesn't give up, that's all!'' He couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Gaelle sigh loudly. 'She is way too overdramatic' Marcus thought.

Then they heard a door closing in the distance and they both turned in sync to see Malik walking out of Felix's house. He walked toward them, standing right beside his old friend and explained ''He is still asleep. All this power stealing thing really drained all his energy...'' Marcus stared at his friend mumbled ''I'm pretty sure it's not the onlything that drained him out.'' Malik tried not to smile. He didn'twant Gaelle to ask what he said or why he was smiling. Fortunatly, she was far enough to not have heard anything.

She looked at Malik and said while crossing her arms ''When will he wake up? So he can tell me where to go so I can do his job!?'' Marcus scoffed and walked away from them and going back in his house. He was way too tired to get in the middle of a romantic fight over false relationships. Once he was out of view, Malik quickly glanced at Felix's house to make sure he wasn't up. He then pulled Gaelle in a sweet embrace ''Shush now, you know you have to be nice to him...''

''I know! But I missed you...''

''It was only one night, sweety...'' he then kissed her softly ''You know you are the only one I truly love, right?'' She kissed him back and agreed ''I love you too.''

Malik smiled and then told her to go back to whatever she was doing since he was about to bring some food for Felix for when he would wake up. She reluctantly agreed and left to her house after giving him one last kiss. Once she left, he rolled his eyes. This was almost too easy! She was so blinded by love. Well they both were actually. He went back to his house to prepare a little something for Felix and himself and went back to his other lover's house. When he saw him sitting on his bed,he freaked out a little, he hoped Felix didn't saw him and Gaelle outside. But Felix wasn't looking angry, so Malik asked with hiss weetest voice ''Hey baby! slept well?''

''Mhmmm...Just woke up...'' Malik laughed a little when he saw Felix doing grabby hands. He didn't see anything after all. Malik walked closer and let the thin man put his arms around him ''I cooked a little something for breakfast~''

''Thanks!'' They both ate and as soon as Felix was done eating, he fell asleep again. Malik sighed, looks like he will have to wait a little longer before knowing where this castle was... He didn't want to rush the fragile sorcerer... Without him, this whole plan would sure fail... He had to take good care of him... Even if that meant waiting a little longer before getting what he wanted.
