One lie is enough to question all truths
The Basgiath War College was silent. Not a breath could be heard, you could've probably hear a pin drop or a twig snap from the forest.
Everyone's eyes were on us.
" Trust me and follow my lead." He instructs in my head, grabbing my hand so tight I couldn't pull away even if I wanted to. I know better to pull away anyways, I chose them, I can at least look like I'm still in love with him.
Everyone looks like they've seen a ghost, Cadets slowly turn to one another, I follow Xaden's lead... Shoulders out, head up, that war like expression on my face was we walk hand in hand. Each stride is meant with purpose.
My eyes scan the cadets.
I see Ridoc and Sawyer mouths hanging, eyes wide though there was bright smiles. I give a warm smirk as we walk past and up to where Fitzgibbons was standing looking just as dumbfounded as the Cadets.
" And Freya Sorrengail?!" He stammers. I can see the tall black uniform stand, then a dark grey one.
General Sorrengail and Colonel Aetos. As they rush, I'm ready to fight them if need be but they only stand 3 feet away as I stand with Xaden, not faltering to give hateful glares at Aetos.
If I could I'd snap his neck infront of everyone here, for what he did to us.
" Go." My mother instructs Fitzgibbons. " Everyone go to your classes!" She Barks, her voice carrying authority to everyone as they all slowly shuffle.
None of us said one word as everyone leaves besides the 8 that just returned. She just...stares, taking in my appearance. I stare straight back at her, then Colonel Aetos.
Who looks pissed beyond words, ready the yell, like it's on the tip on his tongue as he whoel face reddens.
" Why were they reported on the Death Roll if they are not dead." She asks cynically. Though it wasn't to us. It was to Aetos yet she stares unblinking at Xaden and I.
" I was told their bodies-"
" Were supposed to be in Althybene?" Xaden questions deeply using that face he does before brutally murdering someone. " That's where you suspected us to be correct?"
Though it's nearly 80 degrees outside, the temperature around us plummets, near maybe...40? " Althybene? Beyond the wards?" My mothers asks in slight disbelief looking from Xaden to Aetos, then to me just for a second before it narrows on both of them once more.
Xaden nods, smiling brightly " Yes, beyond the wards. Like I was instructed to do so." He looks back to Aetos. " To make headquarters for the War games, we reached the outpost only to find it deserted. Gryphons attacked...we barely made it out alive."
My mother scrunches her face in pure at uteer confusion... Did she really not know? Wouldn't she have looked over the plans of what Colonel was doing?
" Pure and utter lies!" Aetos bellows finally losing his shit. " These...these MALEK FORSAKEN TRAITORS have been transporting goods this whole time!"
Oh shit...
" Xaden?!"
" Your ok... Keep that face on for me alright!"
