The Darkling and his Elemental Summoner(DISCONTINUED!!!)

We're all Someone's Monster

Alayah's POV

I woke up to feeling some bones being healed and when I woke up a saw a healer. "Bring them to the general's tent" I heard someone say and when I looked to the left I saw Alina and we both got taken to the General's tent.

"Bring them closer." the General said to who brought us to the tent "Closer" he said once again so we both took a tentative step forwards.

"Well?" he asked. 

"Well What? Sir" I snapped with sass in my voice.

"What are you?" He asked and you could see the amusement and proudness? in his eyes from my sass i'm assuming seeing as no one else has spoken.

"Alina Starkov, Assistant Cartographer, Royal Corps of Surveyors" Alina answered first.

"Alayah Starkov, a Tracker" I answered in a very bored tone but I can't help it I get bored easily.

"They're all gone, that's why I'm here, isn't it?" Alina asked looking really worried although it wasn't for her, she looked worried for why I'm here.

"What are you?" he asked once more but this time with a slight tone of annoyance.

"She's a mapmaker and I'm a tracker" I told him with a lot of annoyance behind my tone. People then started laughing I then turned to glare at a few. I then zoned out until I was told to lift up my sleeve.

I lifted up my sleeve without hesitation to prove that I am not Grisha but when the General dragged his ring down my arm a swarm of bright lights came out and it became windy within the tent. So turns out I am Grisha.

We were taken to a carriage and we were told to get in, while I was getting in I heard Alina  saying that she needed to find Mal or that a mistake was made and more was said that I didn't hear but she eventually got into the carriage.

While we were in the carriage I heard people talking to me and my sister but I didn't pay attention that was until the carriage stopped. We was being ambushed.

We didn't say anything to each other but made a silent agreement to protect the other less than a minute later Alina was dragged of of the carriage. 

When I saw it was clear enough for me to run I jumped of of the carriage and ran to Alina. I pulled the gun I always have in my waistband out and shot the fjerdian multiple times. He was almost dead but then half of his body was sliced off into multiple pieces and I looked to my right and saw the General.

"Are either of you hurt?" The General asked.

I looked at Alina and she shook her head so I answered for her "no were not hurt." 

"The others will have fled now that i'm here" He said to us ,mainly Alina, to reassure us.

"You ride with me and there's a separate horse for other" He said to us both.

After a while Alina complained of her tailbone was hurting so she jumped off of her horse and General Kirigan got off the horse we were both on and want to give Alina something to clean her face from the blood. 

I zoned out for the rest of their conversation and rested my head on the horse's neck out of boredom and tiredness. Eventually their conversation ended and Alina got back on her horse and General Kirigan got back on the one we were both originally on. We then got to the Little Palace sooner than what I thought.

"You'll be safe here. The palace is the most secure building in the whole country. I made sure of it" Kirigan said in attempts to reassure us although it looked as if it was aimed at me due to me not saying anything for a while.

"Where are you going?" Alina asked as she saw Kirigan about to leave and that I looked exhausted and was ready to go to sleep.

"Take them to the vezda suites" Kirigan said while looking at me once again.

"Are we prisoners" I asked Kirigan trying to not get lost in his dark obsidian eyes.

"All of Ravka is. Until your sister and I have banished the fold" Kirigan answered me with the look of reassurance.

We were then taken to our rooms and when I went into my room I immideatly took the kefta off and shoes. I then climbed into bed and broke down worrying for myself and Alina although mainly Mal as neither of us were there anymore. After calming down I fell asleep thinking of Kirigan.
