The forsaken (Rainimator book4)

a stab in the back

pov Kyle

"What now?" Hogsworth asked. 

"Take Brots to the prison, Make sure he's guarded by someone you can trust," I rubbed my face. "And where's the Tazmas?" I asked. 

"The one that spoke said they needed to return to the lower depth where they won't freeze," Hogsworth answered. "Never thought that would be a thing," 

"Yeah is strange to think," I answered. 

"Oh that one annoying human wants to go back to Frostbourne," Hogsworth reported. 

"You mean Ember?" I asked. 

"Is that his name? it's stupid," Hogsworth said. 

"And you're name isn't?" Abigail said walking into the war room. "I like his name, your name on the other hand is stupid," 

"Abi, I wanted a word anyway, Hogsworth, go and tell Ember I'll be there in a minute,"  I ordered. 

"What do you need Kyle?" Abigail asked taking a seat, sitting on the chair with her legs hanging off the back of a chair and her head closer to the floor. 

"So...you know how I talked with Charlie just before we left?" I asked. 

"Yeah, just assumed you two were having a friend moment or something," Abi answered back. 

I nodded. "We did, but there was something else he told me," 

In a single movement, Abigail had flipped herself around and was sitting closer to normal. "Oh Gods, you're not dying are you?" 

"WHAT? OH GOD NO! Well, I don't think so," I said. "No Charlie was studying my blood and comparing it to other netherkins, and he compared it to yours and...well he discovered," I took a few deep breaths. "We're related," 

"What? like, distance cousins?" Abigail asked. 

"No, the DNA match is much closer, you're my sister," I answered. 

Abigail jumped up and hugged me. "Ahhhha! I always wanted a brother!"

PO Charlie 

"And that's why you shouldn't mix Water and acid and leave it on the side," Nostra finished. 

I blinked. "Nostra, I asked you if you had a healing potion, not that," I pointed to Lyria with a scared expression on her face with Shizuku behind her, and Dexter on the side laughing. 

Lyria was covering a bad cut on her left arm from where Elytra broke when showing Shizuku some of the moves Azura had shown her, Dexter couldn't fly still, her legs were still injured too bad, and the Exo brace Lyria had used before didn't work right for her. 

I was there for no real reason, he was just outside reading when Lyria's wings broke. 

"Oh yes, here, I have serval speare ," Nostra said chucking one over, and it slipped out of my hands and to the follow shattering it. 

"DON'T CHUCK THINGS AT!" I snapped back. 

and so they through another at me and it slammed into my face and then into my hands from there. "Here, go heal the small annoying pink hair girl," 

"Hey! I have a name!" Lyria said. 

"And I don't care," Nostra said walking away. 

I rolled my eyes. "Well, here Lyria drink up," I said. I lifted my book. "Now if you need me, I'll be in the library," I said. 

"BYE CHARLIE!" Lyria said waving him off. 

"GOODBYE!" Shizuku added 

I reached the library, the massive ground floor of the dreadfort, rows upon rows of books, if heaven existed, this would be it, I walked down a few rows and sat down on a chair and placed my book down.
