The younger Grimborn (sequel)

Chapter 15: Ruff transition

Guess who's baaaaack!?

It's me :)

How are y'all holding up? 

Guys, I am literally a bundle of nerves right now. I feel like I'm going to melt at any given time. I finished my exams and now I have to wait for the results, and if I fail either English or Dutch (primary subjects for me) I have to do the entire year again (in the Netherlands we have a very weird school system) I think I can compensate for it if I fail any other exam though, my grades have all been 7 or higher (out of ten) so far this year. 

Still, I'm terrified of the results, and thus I'm going to do everything to distract myself. I dread the phone call I'll get in about two weeks already, what if they say I failed!? Then I'll have to do another year. However, if I passed I'm done with school forever...

Since there's nothing I can do about it anymore, I'm going to do everything in my power to forget school!

Brace yourself guys, I plan on finishing the story soon 😈

By all means, let me know what you're thinking. I could use it now more than ever...

'Midnight?'

I look around, scared. I'm alone. I haven't been alone since I met Midnight. And even with the hunters, I've had Viggo or someone to watch me around most of the time. 

But now, I'm alone.

It's because I'm stupid, and an idiot, and I should have never thought that I could do this on my own.

Ever since Midnight took me away from the hunters, I've tried to build my life up again. We found a nice island, it's really pretty. But it's also gonna get cold soon. There's enough wood to build a home for myself and Midnight, but I don't have the tools. So I was going to buy them... except I don't have money...

So I was going to steal them... But the merchants in this market have a very watchful eye, especially on kids, for some reason. 

I'm at the brink of falling down and crying my heart out when a strong gush of wind knocks me over. Immediately after, I feel cold scales pressing against my cheek. Midnight looks at me with big eyes. I feel hot tears pricking behind mine, and I immediately wrap my arms around her neck.

'I'm so scared, I don't know what to do. I'm going to die, ain't I?'

She warbles softly, but I can hear the concern in it. My leg is covered in blood, the arrow still stuck in it. A knife went in my side, but I got that out already. The arrow hurts too much. 

The worst thing is, that most of the blood from my legs comes out of my side. This is the end, I'm going to die. If not from pain then from blood loss. I'm already feeling dizzy.

I pet Midnight slowly and try to smile. 'At least you're here, I guess that makes it a little better.'

She roars, sounding frustrated. I would try to understand, to calm her down, but everything hurts. And I'm still so scared. I suddenly miss Viggo. Does he know I'm dying? Does he even know I'm still alive?

Who cares? I just... I just want to close my eyes. Just for a moment...

My side hurts. Something is digging into it.

We're flying.

We're falling.
