Nightfall

Chapter 28🌙

!!Chapter 27 is better EDITED!!

Okay so, new plan.

While the group trains outside, I'll pretend I'm getting a better weapon or something and then disappear to Robin's Hollow. Talk to the mysterious person and make it back before anyone knows I'm gone.

One problem: I'm a shit actress.

But like...it will totally be okay.

Like totally.

But I might have a good distraction, that will take everyone's attention away from me.

I just hope it works.

***

Morning has arrived.

The birds are chirping.

The sun is shining.

Ares is staring at me creepily.

I feel warm and-

"Oh my fuck!"

"What are you doing!?" I shout absolutely flabbergasted.

Man, I really didnt need that first thing in the morning. Especially when I spent the night scheming. Who does that?

I was just resting my eyes a second ago, then shocked out of my skin the next.

He looks away sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Sorry," he looks back at me and I see a light blush spread across his face.

Ares blushing.

Adorable.

But odd.

"I only came in now to wake you up, I haven't been sitting here like a stalker." He says and starts walking to the door.

"Breakfast is ready." He says, then leaves my room.

But I'm kinda tired.

And now I can't pretend like I'm sleeping.

***

Everyone is outside training, so I have to execute my plan perfectly. Ares and the rest of the group are focused on the pups, so just a few more minutes. I help a young girl with her foot placement and she seems to be getting it now. I am an awesome teacher-

"Scarlett!"

I turn around and see Aaron running up to me with an angry looking Sophie trailing behind.

"Yeah?"

"I need you to tell Sophie that children adore me more than her." He says and smirks at Sophie.

" Can you please contain this piece of trash-" Sophie starts but is cut off.

"OUCH!"

Everyone turns around and looks at Mila lying on the floor bawling her eyes out. Everyone rushes toward her and I use this as my opportunity to slip away.
Tears run down her face and she sniffles.

Omg...I wonder if she she's okay. I hope she hasn't broken anything, she's the sweetest little- Blah Blah Blah.

Wow, she is an amazing actress, considering I asked her to fall and pretend she got hurt. She didn't even question it and I am grateful.

Everyone is busy helping her, so I quickly back away and make my way to the forest. I have to be really quick, I don't think they'll be distracted for long. I shift into my wolf form so I can get there quicker, I memorized the path.
