A Dragon's Revenge:Avdimi and the Fusion of the Elements(Book 2)

Chapter 9:The Truth

"You don't know what it feels like when someone dies because of you"Kaida muttered.

"Yes I do"I said.

"No you don't"she muttered.

"Yes I do,it happened to me,twice"I said,coldly.

"What do you mean twice?"Kaida asked.

"Ruby and Aeron"

"When I would come back to my home for a short visit,I would play around with Aeron,two weeks ago I visited him and we played hide and seek in the forest,Aeron would find me and I would hide,When Aeron took too long to find me I got bored so I set up a prank,when Aeron got near where I was hiding I howled like a dog,what I didn't know was that I accidently called a pack of wolves near us,the wolves hadn't noticed me but they saw Aeron and....and killed me,if I wasn't stupid he would be alive!How many people have to die becuse of me!?"I said,tearing.

"I didn't know"Kaida said.

I ignored her and remembered,the screams,the wolves,the fear,then I began to sulk if only,I could go back,if only I hadn't hid somewhere so hard to find,if only I wasn't stupid!Because of my stupidity I got myself into this mess,I summoned a dragon,I killed my own dragon,and I killed my best friend,and now i'm here risking life and limb again!

"Artemis"Kaida said,putting her hand on my shoulder.

"Get away from me"I said coldly.

I didn't regret saying that at the time,hurt Kaida left,then the footsteps got softer until they eventually faded away.After being alone for a few minutes I heard more footsteps,it was Ruby I knew Kaida sent her.

"She did send me"Ruby said.

I forgot dragons could read your mind.

"Not now"I said coldly,I wanted to be alone.

"I know your upset because Aeron died,but it wasn't your fault"Ruby said.

"It was my fault"I said in the same cold tone.

"You didn't know there were wolves there"Ruby said.

"Just leave me alone"I said.

She was silent for a while,then she left me.

"Come on Artemis,you can't stay here forever"Kaida said behind me.

"Weren't you just sulking about Ryuu?"I said,irritated,they never give up.

"I know,i'm hiding it the guys told it's something I have to deal with by myself"Kaida said.

"How many times to I have to say leave me alone before you listen"I said,really annoyed.

"Suck it up,it's not the end of the world he died"Kaida said.

Okay,remember when I said I liked her?I take it back,she's really getting on my nerves.

"I'm beggining to think you were faking your sadness now"I said,turning my head around and glaring at her.

"Honestly though,you killed your best friend,I thought you told me he was avoiding you?Aren't you happy there's one less person avoiding you?"Kaida said.

That's it,I threw my dagger at her.

"What's your problem!?"

Grinning she picked up my dagger and threw it in front of me,then she changed her stance and glared cockily at me.
