Rayla's pov

We stopped when we arrived at silver grove "rayla!" someone called "ethari!" i called getting off my horse and running ethari "welcome back" he laughed hugging me but i only smiled "I just came back to grab a few things and apparently Abby has something for me" I spoke he nodded "yeah she came by a while ago asking if you'd come by yet" he smiled I only smiled I liked abby she was like my older sister we had trained as assassins together when she got invited to the dragon guard when her father died. "I'll head over there in a bit" I spoke "why not go now? That gives runann and I a chance to get to know callum" he spoke making me roll my eyes. "just don't kill him before I get back" I joked making ethari and callum smile "I wont go" he spoke shaking his head at me. I gave callum a smile before I ran off in the direction of Abby's house. I knocked on the door once I arrived and her mom opened the door "oh rayla! How lovely to see you! Abby has told us about everything congrats" she spoke "thanks that means a lot" I smiled as a shadow appeared in the living room behind abby's mom "abby!" I squealed "rayla!" she smiled and ran to hug me "oh my god I've missed you" she spoke "same to you abby" I replied "abby leave the poor girl alone and give her the box"  her mom laughed "oh right! sorry" she moved away from me and grabbed a small box handing it to me "what is it?" I asked "it's from your mom...she told me to give it to you whenever I felt you'd need it and I figured you could probably use it now I mean I would have given it to you sooner but I never knew when to actually give it to you" she spoke I opened the box inside was a set of keys and a letter. I felt myself tear up "is this?" I whispered "they keys to your parents old house? Yeah she didn't trust runann or ethari to keep it a secret so she trusted me with it. she always wanted you to have what you needed rayla did you really think she'd leave you with nothing?" abby spoke "no I knew she wouldn't but I don't know how to feel about this either" I replied looking down at the set of keys then looked at abby "thank you abby" I spoke smiling softly "of course rayla your like my younger sister" she spoke I smiled "now you might want to go save your husband from runann and ethari" she joked making me laugh "yeah I suppose I have to" I replied smiling like an idiot "im glad you found your person rayla" abby spoke "thanks abby" I spoke turning to leave I waved before breaking out into a run to make it home. I walked into the house "your back, what did abby have for you?" it was runann who asked I didn't say anything and simply held up the keys to show them. Ethari and runann's eyes widened "the keys to my parents house" i whispered looking down. "..." none spoke for a moment but callum moved to be closer to me and give me a side hug "are you ok?" he asked "yeah" I replied "I'm just thinking" I added but I could tell none really believed me. I wanted to cry and I think everyone could tell but none spoke callum just held me close to him rubbing my arm my ears twitched slightly from the action.
