Wishful thinking (Part 10)

Omg.

Ok first off, hi! I'm back 🤡

Secondly- I'm so sorry for being away for so long, I kinda almost died, but I feel bad now for being away for that long, so your getting multiple parts in the next day or so. 🤷‍♀️

Think of it as my Christmas present- to you

Yay 😭

They were 😨 atrocious. So I've edited all those- you can go and read them again if you want a better experience Lmfao

The silence was overwhelming, like a shroud of misted cloud hanging over our heads in a muffled command of nothing.

It's not awkward, but it's not comforting either.

It's unbearable.

Luz was the one standing in the middle, she probably felt the most awkward, but all I feel is- well... I'm not actually sure.

Thoughts and feelings swirled through my head like a merry go round, and I honestly don't know what to feel, let alone think.

Hunter was infront of us, marching down the path with his head low. He would look intimidating if he didn't have the expression of complete guilt laced in his eyes. The silence weighing down on us all was unbearable. Even Luz, the always happy and enthusiastic Luz, seemed uncomfortable.

It hadn't been long, though, before he held his head up high and took in a deep breathe. Straightening his shoulders, and walking through the streets of latissa like he owned them.

Minutes passed before he turned a corner, walking straight up to a pair of emperor covern guards.

"Scouts, direct me to your communications room." He said, his voice suddenly matching that stuck up guard all to much, and I hated it. He grabbed the sleeve of his glove as he continued talking and pulled it down to show the emperors covers sigil on his wrist. "I need to contact the castle immediately."

The guards were silent for a moment before one of them spoke. "Cute. I didn't know kids your age were still into temporary tattoos." The skinnier one said, more like mocked, as the bigger one then leaned toward hunter and spoke up.

"Yeah, show us your badge number."

The look on hunters face was nothing short of a spoiled brat. "I am your superior, and I can prove it!" He said, and spun around to face me and Luz. His gaze landed directly on me, and though there was a flash of sadness in his eyes, his face hardened and he held out his hand. "Staff."

I didn't say anything. But my eyes narrowed, and I took a step back, my grip on the staff tightening.

"Isn't it a little late for you kids to be outside?" The guard suddenly spoke up again.

"Yeah, go home before we call your parents."

I wasn't sad. I wasn't going to let myself be sad, to continue self loathing for the mistakes of someone else. I was angry.

But apparently, so was hunter. Because the next thing I know, he'd spun around, face and ears completely red, frowning, and eyebrows narrowed so much I'm surprised they weren't stick ons.

Luz yelped suddenly and grabbed my arm, lil rascle on her shoulder as she suddenly started running, pulling me with her, hunter soon bolting after us.

We ran through the streets of latissa, apologising to people we nearly ran into, throwing stuff down to cut hunter off, Luz holding onto lil rascle and kaida, and me holding onto hunters staff.
