Pae POV
It's just another shitty 24 hours in the scorches. we walk all day in the hot sun with the horse behind us, we sleep for about 4 hours shivering in the dark, then we take turns riding the horse for the rest of the night.
this time going through the scorches isn't so bad... I guess. I am with Kai, I don't have to walk the whole time, there is plenty of food and money for when we get to Dor, I am not as hot since I have short hair now and I am no longer running for my life. I know Kitt is going to find out at some point that Kai betrayed him but until then I will enjoy not having to run away from someone.
We decide to stop for the night because neither of us slept at all the last couple nights. he lights a small fire while I eat bread and drink the smallest bit of water. once he is done with the fire I start to warm up a little. we split an apple and like always he gives his half to the horse. "why do you always do that?" I ask watching the horse munch on his apple
Kai shrugs "I don't know" he sits next to me looking at his piece of bread. "i guess i am trying to keep him strong. to make sure you could get away on him if needed" he says
"you would be willing to give up your food to make sure I will be safe if Kitt came after us?" I can't believe someone would do that for me. he just nods as he keeps looking at the fire. "but why would you do that for me? A slummer an ordinary?"
he turns to look at me. "darling you are neither of those things to me. in my eyes you are a queen and you are far from ordinary" he is telling the truth I can see it in his deep gray eyes.
"no... no one has ever told me that," I whisper
"told you what?"
"I am not ordinary. no one not even my own father... well my adoptive father I guess. even Adena sometimes called me an ordinary when we got into bad fights." I wince at the thought of A. we never argued but the very few times we did were bad. we would always make up right after but the one time she called me an ordinary has always stuck with me. I know that is what I am but it still hurts to be called an ordinary. my father was always too scared that I would be discovered that he never really treated me normal.
"power is not only what's on the list of Elite Abilities it's more than that. power is about how big of a difference you can make, so you are not ordinary you are amazing and you have so much power in your body you just have to believe in yourself" he smiles taking my hand in his. he kisses my hand gently before letting go of it and grabbing the blankets from the horse.
we lay on the mats. he has his arms around me with my back to his chest and I am watching the fire while I think about what he said.
I am not ordinary.
