Griffin was looking at her with a grin on her lips, and the only thing on Eloise's face was confusion. That confusion turned into adoration.

"You probably want to know-" Griffin started but he was cut off by Eloise.

Eloise wrapped her arms around his neck, bringing him in her embrace. She tugged her face in his shoulder, laughing.

"I don't want to know anything, I just want to hug you." She tugs one of his much longer curls, moving it out of his face.

The girl couldn't believe her eyes, she couldn't believe that her friend was alive. Eloise didn't care about anything besides to pull him into her embrace, to finally feel him again.

Griffin was a bit confused by Eloise's reaction to his return.

Why is she hugging me?

Why isn't she questioning my return from the dead?

Why is she so warm with me?

These questions were flying in the boy's head while he wasn't sure if he should hug her back.

Griffin missed her, truly. Of course he would miss all these years without his best friend on Alstoria, but the Queen ruined him. She made him full of hatred and disgust towards anyone after making him a lord.

The queen poisoned his head and heart without him even realizing what she was planning, he was so blinded by his given power that the line between good and evil became blurry to him.

It was so blurry that he didn't give a second thought before starting to torment the same girl he started doing all of this for.

For griffin it was hard to get into Eloise's mind, no matter how much training and studying he did, he'll never be able to overpower the witch from the prophecy. Yet a door has open when Louis has passed, with her guard down Griffin was finally able to poison her mind after mouths of trying.

Everything after that became so easy, he was thankful that Eloise always choses to suffer in silence and that everyone thought her powers have finally driven her mad.

He knows he should feel remorse for what he's done, or what he will do to Eloise. But everything that the Queen has promised him was too tempting for the boy that lived as a poor servant his entire life.

No matter how fucked up everything will become after what it was planned, he hugged her back. He took in her warmth, her sweet scent and the soft hair that had a color he was not familiar with.

Griffin sighed, pulling away from the sweet girl. He looked deeply into her eyes, suddenly not being able to find his own words. Eloise took the matter into her own hands and broke the ice.

"How did you survive? Why didn't you contact me? Are you alright?" Eloise bombed Griffin with questions with a small smile on her lips. The glimpse in her eyes was as clear as glass.

"It doesn't matter any of that. I've came here after years so I could bring you home, to bring back to Alstoria." Griffin said with hope in his eyes, he grabbed her face with his hands and looked at green eyes.

Eloise smile drops when she hears those words, she was taken aback but the sudden interest of going back to that planet, a planet she was becoming more and more sure it was not her home.

She lets out a small laugh, hoping he was messing with her like he used to when they were little children. Though, not a glimpse of humor was seen behind his eyes. Eloise started to pull away from his grip when the realization hit that he wasn't joking.
