The Skyheld Empire [Complete Exept Alt Endings] (Laurenzside Empires AU)

Ch. 9 ~ Return.

Yay here's the happy chapter I promised!

- Scott's POV -

I sit on my ice covered bed, contemplating my decision to even be here. I hear a faint hoot. "Wait- what?" I mutter, and look out my door. "A Rivendell owl?" I ask, and step outside. "How did you find me? Wait- from-" I stutter as the owl hands me the letter.

Scott;

We need you back. Wherever you are, we all need you to snap out of it and come home.

The Cod Empire is close to ruins, and your friends can't take it anymore.

They need you. We all need you. If you decide to come back, come to The Ocean Empire.

-Ocean's blessings, Lizzie.

"What...?" I mutter, reading it over just to make sure I did see what I saw. Why'd Lizzie send me this? I thought she was pissed at me. I grip the paper harder, and get up. "They don't need me that bad... right?" I say, and stare at the paper again, then drift my gaze to the somewhat rough-shaped owl. "They do." I say, and quickly grab all my stuff. I run off the cliff and fly up, and straight to Rivendell. Before I can risk having contact with anyone, I run to my room and grab a pair of gloves, and fly off to see Lizzie.

- Lauren's POV -

Around an hour passes sitting on the roof of Lizzie's tower, before we hear wings flapping. I get nervous, as I hadn't exactly seen Scott before he left. "Guys?!" He shouts from below us. He then notices our names and flies up, where Lizzie, Jimmy and I are sat, smiling weakly. Although I'm not smiling, more frowning? He emerges from below with frost and ice all over him. "Scott..." I mumble, and tear up. He smiles a bit as I get up and jump onto him. "Careful, I'm still in the air." He chuckles as hugs me back. Shaking, I hug him as tight as I can, and he holds his hand out to Jimmy behind us. He joins in and hugs Scott as well. I fly back a bit and leave room for Lizzie. "Get in here!" Scott says, and Lizzie hesitantly hugs him. I watch as Lizzie steps away and it's just Jimmy there. "I'm so sorry, Jimmy..." Scott says, running his hand up and down Jimmy's back. "Why'd yo-u l-eave...?" Jimmy sobbed. "I didn't want to hurt you..." Scott answered, and sighed. "Don't- ever d-do that ag-gain, Scott-!" Jimmy sobbed into Scott's shoulder. I start crying, and sniffle. Lizzie comes and hugs me. "He's back now, don't worry." She comforts me, and pulls out of the hug. Scott flies onto the roof, and stands beside Lizzie with Jimmy in his arms. 'Kiss him!' I mouth to Scott. He looks at me with annoyed look, but does it anyways. I smile, and Lizzie giggles. Jimmy pulls away, and signals over to me. Scott understands and comes to hug me once again. "F*ck you for doing that." I say, and hug him tighter. "Thanks." He says, sarcastically, and chuckles. We pull away and we all sit down. "What the hell happened to you?" I ask, and Lizzie sighs. "Long story." Scott responds. "Well? Start talking, elf man!" I say, and stare at him. He explains and we all comfort him.

TBC!
