Unspoken

~Chapter 4~

Ingressus bit into an apple and swung his feet over the edge of the cliff, looking down slightly and looking towards the sunset. He blinked a few times, smiling, the colors always comforted him, and this seemed to be his only moment of peace the time before his physical rest, and in his opinion the best time of the day.

"I got extra food!" A female voice called and he looked back a slight glare on his face as the female Nestoris walked back towards the rest of his clan, offering a child a orange. He didn't trust her or want her to be there, he was cautious and wary of her, watching her every move to make sure she didn't try anything she would regret. She was a champion, how could he just trust her? She glanced towards him and he lashed his tail slightly as she walked towards him, trying to signal that he didn't want her to come near him.

"Here." She said and offered him a bag of meat and a basket of fruit and vegetables. He narrowed his eyes but accepted the food and set it down next to him.

"I still don't trust you." He said and narrowed his eyes, she seemed unfazed as her gaze softened.

"And you don't have to." She said and smiled slightly. "But I still want to help your clan so you're going to have to get used to me being here."

Much to his displeasure she sat down next to him and flicked her tail slightly.

"Do you like watching the sunsets to?" She asked and smiled again, he looked away and rested his head in his hand.

"No." He grumbled. He didn't exactly want to find any similarities with her. He didn't like her or want her there.

"Well that's clearly a lie. You're sitting here right now just eating an apple and watching the sunset." She said and he sighed a bit and looked towards her with a death glare.

"Yes. I do." He said and narrowed his eyes again, she shifted slightly and leaned back a bit more.

"So do I." She said and smiled again. He stared and sighed again, lashing his tail.

"I spared you, can't you trust me for that?" she asked and he scoffed.

"And I had a knife hidden on my side, ready to kill you when you got close enough." He said and she widened her eyes then frowned.

"You're lying, you're just trying to cover up the fact that I did have you cornered, and I could have killed you." She snarled and he pulled out the small knife he was going to kill her with before she "Spared him" from a hidden space on his pants, showing her the knife.

"I never lie." He said and she watched the knife then watched him,

"You lied about being Nestoris during the tournament or are you somehow a Nestoris who just wants to defend the Voltaris and has all of the Voltaris qualities?" She questioned with narrowed eyes.

"I lied once, but never again." He said and tucked the knife away. "Not to those I love."

"Do you really love anyone?" She asked and rolled her eyes. "You're the dullest person I've ever met."

"Have you ever had your entire family murdered in front of your eyes?!" He demanded, lashing out towards her with bared fangs and pinned ears. She shirked away slightly as he dug his nails into the snow.

"Have you ever seen everyone you ever loved killed by the clans your clan had tried to hard to satisfy?! Have you ever had to trust someone who did the exact same thing that happened to you when you were younger and expected you to trust them?!"

"No..." She admitted and he snarled again as she lowered her head, He clenched his fists and scoffed then stormed back into the camp, lashing his tail. Addy lowered her head and felt her ears droop. She truly wanted to help the Voltaris but their Master didn't trust her. She didn't know what she had to do to earn that trust but she would find out. She grabbed the basket and bag of food and walked towards an older male who smiled at her.
