The HalfBlood- FourthWing Fanfic

54

When I wake Xaden is gone.

Though that didn't surprise me, Maybe he does regret it and will shut me out for maybe...at the least.. the next 2 years.

I roll laying, looking at the ceiling sighing. His scent lingers on my sheets and I find myself taking in deep breaths imagining he was there. I also got the scent of something..floral.

I shift again, seeing a few stalks of wildflowers laying on the pillow next to me and a glass of water, with a small note.

Liam had 2 cracked ribs, and a good slice on his right side. He'll live, they gave him some type of pain killer that made him talk nonstop. You and Hetta were the discussion, it was annoying as hell by the way.

Now you can't say I didn't give you an update Fury.

I reread the note a few times finding myself smiling, having that warm fuzzy feeling I know I shouldn't have.. about either of them... Malek I hate myself...

It was later morning, I could still make it to combat if I hurry. I got up feeling a little sore though I push through it throwing on clothes and combing roughly through my hair seeing Xaden got it beyond tangled opting for a messier bun just giving up on it.

After classes I'll visit Liam. I miss him.

There was a curt knock, Hetta should be in classes, not Liam... My heart flutters thinking it was Xaden until I look at the door, my heart infact dropping when Carr stands arms crossed looking at me. " Your not in classes Freya?"

I keep an emotionless facade, " Woke up late."

I sweat you could hear my heart beat, if he's here I don't think it's good. Or he's going to kill me. He seems to examine me carefully, " Follow me."

" Can I ask why?" 

" Training." He says bluntly. " Now we're wasting daylight."

I ignore him for just a few moments going to grab my daggers quickly stuffign them in all the sheathes accessible. I see him peeking in my door watching me, " I'm not going to kill you Ms. Sorrengail."

" Well, seeing there's that small threat on my head, I don't trust you."

I swore I saw him almost smile for just a moment before he sighs, " We're going to meet our dragons and take a little trip."

I cross my arms looking at him. " Rhys."

" He tells the truth, if he tries anything he and his dragon will drop dead before they even have a second thought."

I nod following slightly behind him as we walk, " I assume you didn't eat." He states giving me a small satchel he had, I only eye the food not eating it. He notices that looking a little petrbed. " You didn't give me a reason to kill you Ms. Sorrengail. Please eat. I want to see you wield, to have controlled wielding you need to be focused. That means fed."
