My cold but sweet guard

CHAPTER TEN

Micheal's POV...

That day finally arrived.The war.The troops set up camp in a large grassy field,our backs turned to the dark,eerie forest on the field's edge.Dominic walked up to me and we stood on a large rock in the field,in silence.

I turned to him but quickly turned away,not sure what to say."Micheal?"

I turn to him again.

"Do you think we'll win?"He turned to me and I could see a hint of worry in those dark purple eyes of him.

I sighed"We'll be fine.I promise"I smiled and placed a hand on his shoulder.He smiled and placed him hand over mine and squeezed tightly.

Later,that night,I was settling into my sleeping bag when I hear a loud crash outside my tent.I got up and grabbed my sword,unsheathing it and creeping outside.I walked around till I found myself outside the camp,staring at Dominic as he summoned something.

The glowing,purple magic circle underneath him seemed....oddly,dark.Then the light faded and a little small black lump appeared in the grass.

"What on the elemental spirits is that?"I said a little louder than I intended to and Dominic jump in fear and fall to the ground,landing on his butt.

He scowled at me and got up."What are you doing outside this late at night?"

I raised a brow."What are you doing this late at night?"

He sighed and shook his head,picking up the lump.It moved and uncurled itself to reveal a large black snake with purple accents.I screamed and backed away,Dominic frowned at me and told me to shut up.

I watched-from a safe distance-as Dominic released the snake into the field towards where I presumed the enemy camp would be in.He turned to me and crossed his arms.

"What are you doing here?"He seemed mad and....uneasy?

"I heard a loud crash and thought  we were being attacked"

He shook his head and ran a hand through his hair."It's fine"

I decided not to ask him about the snake and stuff and we both walked back to camp.
