The Dual Summoner and the Darkling

Practice fight with a squaller

The next morning I didn't want to get out of bed with everything that happened last night. I held onto my pillow and covered my face. When my eyes closed all I could think about was the kiss last night. Had he intended to do that from the beginning of seeing my powers or had he always suspected me since I came there. These questions were always in my mind and all the big training Baghra wanted to do outside her training area was put off due to being in secret. I laid there even though breakfast had come and gone when I heard a knock on the door.

"Yes?" I said looking up from the pillow

The door opened and revealed Nadia and Marie with some of the breakfast from this morning. I didn't want to get up and they seemed to notice as they came over to me and set the breakfast down. Marie had me sit up where she noticed my blush on my face and I covered my face with my hands. I had so many emotions going through me at once it wasn't even funny at the moment.

"What happened?" Marie asked

"He found out." I said

"Who found out? found out what?"Nadia said

"General Kirigan. He found out I'm a dual summoner." I said

I couldn't see their faces but they probably were shocked and then I felt one of them remove my hands seeing I was uneasy. I knew I promised to tell them if anything happened but this was so unexpected with everything that had gone on. I just wanted to sit there but I saw they brought me breakfast and I ate while I decided what to tell them.

"What did General Kirigan do?" Marie asked

"He used his shadows to make the hallway dark. I had to use the light." I said

"Do you think he suspected you since he met you again?" Nadia asked

"Possibly. I was struggling in front of him." I said

"Did anything else happen?" Marie asked "You've been slightly blushing since we got in here."

I nodded as I ate but I still didn't know if I wanted to tell them when it was still sort of wrong to think such things. Then I remembered I did promise them I would tell them and a promise was a promise no matter what so I had to get the courage up to tell them. I knew he probably wouldn't say anything to the 2nd army unless they found out about me somehow.

"He kissed me last night." I said

Marie and Nadia both gasped and though Nadia I suspected was into women I never actually asked. Nadia just sat by me seeing I was still in my kefta, I hadn't taken it off all night and she helped adjust it on me to look like I hadn't slept in it. I was going through a whole thing of emotions at the moment.

"Did you kiss him back?" Marie asked

"I did." I said

"Aw. Shadow and Sun, Forbidden from being in love and yet something might start." Marie teased

"Remind me to tease you back when you get a boyfriend. Oh wait, I don't have one." I said

"yet." Marie teased

I just shook it off as I finished eating then got up as I brushed my hair a bit. I looked at them and my room for a minute knowing this room was fit for a normal tidemaker. Would my room change if I were to be found out? Would I be in the other wing closer to the general's room if it was? I smacked myself some to snap me out of those thoughts.

"Amira!" Nadia and Marie said

"I am never going to be someone's pet. If anyone ever tries to control me or my power I will fight back." I said before looking at myself in the mirror.
