Unspoken

~Chapter 9~

Addy yawned a bit as she sat up then noticed Ingressus sit up with her, yawning then looking at her with a smile. She reached under the covers and ran her hand down his leg earning a soft pained moan from him when she reached the spot where he was hit by the arrow. She moved closer to him and smiled as he lifted his leg slightly to look at the wound. She frowned at the amount of blood staining the wound and sighed then leaned against him.

"Are you ok?" She asked and he ran his hand down her neck.

"Yes, I'm fine." He said and ran his hand down her cheek.

"Are you sure?" She asked and kept his hand on her cheek, leaning against him.

"I've been through worse." He said and smiled as she sighed a bit, not entirely convinced. "But you need to go back to your little camp, they'll be wondering why you're gone."

She widened her eyes then sat up abruptly, realizing how long she had stayed there.

"You're right, I'm sorry I have to go but I will be back." She said and he smiled as she got out of the bed then felt him grab her arm and turn her around, pulling her back towards him and pressing his lips onto hers and closing his eyes, she cupped his face and closed her eyes as well then broke the kiss as he smiled.

"You better be, and you can be gone for a day no longer otherwise I might have to launch a rescue mission." He said and she let out a hearty laugh then squeezed his hand and darted out the door back towards her camp.

"That was the longest scouting I have ever seen in my life." Thalleous said and watched her.

"Yeah and you missed Kos's funeral!" Vegter added and she looked over at him.

"We gave him a funeral?" She asked and Thalleous looked at a tree dully.

"We were forced to." He said and Vegter elbowed him.

"Forced to or not she missed it." Vegter said and gave her a look. She sighed a bit and lowered her head in shame. Slightly afraid of all the males surrounding her before she saw green markings and Kasif stepped in front of her.

"Leave her alone." He said defensively. "She's probably overwhelmed and needs to get away from all of us for a bit. Can you blame her?"

The other males shrugged slightly and Thalleous looked away, ashamed.

"Addy can I talk to you for a minute?" Kasif asked softly and she nodded then followed him out of the area and towards the tents. He stopped near a tree and leaned against it while watching her.

"I know." He said and watched her with a meaningful expression.

"You know what?" She asked softly but knew all to well what he was saying he knew. She knew that he would react in a negative way and probably try to kill her.

"I know about your relationship with the Deathsinger." He sighed and she felt her heart drop, part of her hoped that he didn't know and that it wasn't true but she knew all to well that it was. "And I support it."

"Wait what?" She said and lifted her head, widening her eyes. That was... not the reaction she had anticipated, not at all. "You support me and the Deathsinger's relationship?"

"Yes, the truth is I did follow you that night and I did see you kiss him and say that you'd date him, and I realized many things that day that I'm sure you realized as well. I did cover for you because I realized how monstrous we're acting and we are pretending like they're the monsters." He said and she smiled softly.

"Thank you." She said softly and he smiled as well.

"I want to help you." He said and smiled. "If you could tell him I want to help you as well that would be wonderful." He said and smiled again. She grinned then hugged him tightly. He was slightly taken aback but hugged her back softly then let go of her and walked out along with her to find everyone around the fire.
