Garthalan: Mother of the Wood

nightmares and broken hearts

Garen pov

I did not get any sleep after I lay down, it seemed that every time I close my eyes I see that assassin her eyes were so dead like she just wasn't there but at the same time I could see a hatred there as well. For what I do not know but it still kept my eyes open when I should have been sleeping. An hour before day light Adaya began to stir in her sleep as well it seemed she was having a bad dream as well. I wanted to go to her but I just have not figured out how she takes things yet and I would like for any other blade to stay out of body. So I just watched as she went through the tortures in her head, when finally she shot up knife in hand and sweat on her forehead it which confirmed my night mare theory. "can't sleep either huh?" She jumped at my voice.

" Why are you up? I told you, you still need some rest." She looked a little annoyed with me.

"I cant close my eyes too long. And I've been asleep four days I think I've had enough rest." She sighed and got up heading for the kitchen, I moved to get up as well. "no, even if you won't sleep you still need to lay still." It was probably about twenty minutes when she came back with some bacon buiscuits and sausage. A good amount of it I might add and lay it in my lap. "eat. I'm going out for a bit, don't leave that bed."

"Er ok, where you going?"

"don't worry about it." She quickly left I took a bite of the bacon and could feel my eyes rolling back, this was the best bacon I've had in a long, long time. I put a patty of sausage on a biscuit. Same effect. I quickly devoured the whole plate then lay back watching the candle. This isn't gonna be Borin at all, I thought sarcastically.

Adaya pov

I stood in front of the door to the woman's house, I do hope Liya is not mad at me any longer though I expected it when I sent her here. It was the first time she had ever been away from me for more than a single night and when I told her she was furious and devastated all at once, she must think I had abandoned her but I did not know what else to do with injured in my home, I will have to build another building for this kind of thing. I knock on the door. The old woman answers, "hello Vernilla, is my sister doing alright?"

The woman smiled. " Why yes we've had quite the fun time, putting my old muscles to work."

I laughed. " Yes she tends to have that effect, it's kept me in shape."

"well I'll hold you back no longer, LIYA DEAR, YOU HAVE A VISITOR!"

Quiet the voice such an old looking woman. I heard Liyas feet come running down the stairs, as soon as she seen me her speed picked up and in no time she was attached to my waist. "Addy! Is it time to go home?" She looked at me with hopeful eyes. I knelt down to her height.

"just a few more days no more I promise." The happiness drained out of her, almost breaking my heart, then she ran back upstairs, great she's angry again.

"do not worry lady Adaya, she will be back to herself in An hour, don't worry she is in good hands."

I let out a sigh, "you are right, it doesn't make it hurt less though. I will be back when the other man wakes."
