The Assassin's Conquer (Book Two)

Chapter 3- Ryia

I had to keep them away from me. What is they found out?! I wouldn't be able to take it. Yes, its best to make sure they don't get any closer to me. The sick feeling makes it easier to put distance between all of us. Though I think I went to far yesterday. I hate this constant dull ache in my chest. I'm so lonely, I can't take it. The dull ache mixed with the sick feeling makes me feel constantly ill. Sleeping only brought me back to the stone cage with Simon. Simon makes everything worse especially since he is the only one I can't block out.

My walks in the woods have been growing longer and longer. Now I spend more time in the woods than anywhere else. Leo and I have been sending corresponding letters and I feel even more home sick for the fae realms or even the assassin's castle at this point. My fae instructer who told storries every night has been sending stories with Leo's letter. He said it was to make sure I didn't forget them, but how could I when I yearned to back so much.

After a week had had passed Alexandria, Terrin, and Aaron stopped comming by, and this is what I wanted it didn't make it hurt any less. Soon enough the walls of my room seemed to start to close in on me even though it was already mid day and there was a chance of being seen I had to leave before I fell asleep. Sprinting throught the castle feilds I dashed into the woods until a came along a small lake I'd come across a few days ago.

Lifting the water out of the lake I charged it with magic just as my teacher had taught me and then I let it spiral arround me taking away all traces of my sleep deprivation. I smiled as the magic gave me a buzz like feeeling. I used my magic to make the water take shape of a small dragon that danced up from the water desperately reaching for the sky. Suddenly the dragon turned toward the woods from which I had came and as it circled a tree I heard a small girlish shriek.

Huriedly I walked over to the tree to see Alexandria hiding carefully behind it. "Where did you come from? Were you following me?" I asked incredulously. "Well you see I saw jump from your window like a bat out of hell. I was just worried so I followed you to make sure you were okay." Alexandria said. I sighded. "I'm fine, thank you for worrying I was just had a little bit of cabin fever" I said washing all emotion off my face.

"Are you doing okay? Don't take this offensivly but you seem kind of sleep deprived and you've been acting steangly ever since you came back from fae training" she said as though interriogating me. I looked at her with eyes more dead than the grim reaper "people change, there is nothing you nor anyone else can do about that" I said walking off further into the woods. She didn't follow and while that was good I couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in my heart.

I got back rather late at night but it didn't change the fact that when I got back a rather irratated looking Terrin was standing by my desk glarring at the letters there as if hoping his gaze would incinerate the paper. "What are you doing here Terrin?" I asked. "I'll be the on asking the questions, thank you. First, why are you still talking to Leo?" I looked at him confused as anger took hold of his face.

"Second, why do you think its alright to ignore us? You're hurting all of us especially Alex and that's no cool with me" Terrin said. My heart clenched in pain when he said Alex, now he even had a nick name for her! Why did that pain me so much?! Anger swelled up inside mixing with pain making it so I was practically breathing poison.

"Oh well I'm so sorry I'm hurting your poor princess Alex. I should be more considerate next time, make sure your precious Alex doesn't get hurt. Since I can't sleep anymore maybe I can use that time to make sure your precious Alex doesn't stub her toe or role off the bed or get thirsty at night!" I fummed venomously. I shoved him and his confused face out of the room.

Crap I slipped I told him I couldn't sleep, oh well surely nothing could of that. Right?
