I Followed

I Apologised

~~Zoey's POV~~

Everything went so quickly. Too quickly. Rythian burst in, and I saw him look at us. He just stood there for a second, not doing anything. But he didn't look hurt for long. He stormed over, picking up my friend, the one who's helped me with science for two years, but just ruined it in a moment, and shoved him into a wall. He kept looking at me, with a 'Why did you do this to me' look, and I looked back, teary eyed, shaking my head thinking it was all another terrible nightmare. He stopped shouting. He sighed. And he left the room.

Duncan and I just stayed where we were in silence for a few minutes, avoiding eye contact and not even flinching. Duncan was the one to talk first

"I think- I'm sure- Maybe..." He stuttered quietly, and sighed. "I don't think that... That Rythian liked that" He burst into laughter and closed the door whilst laughing.

"How can you laugh Duncan? Did you not see how hurt he was? I was warned about you! You're just as bad as I was told, you're just like Sjin!" I run out of the room crying. I had lost a friend, no, a best friend, and the one I loved. I had to find him, I had to find Rythian. I wonder where he could be... Magic room? No, he's not in there. Our bedroom? Nope, the only thing in there is the silverfish that I'm sure I can hear. I checked almost every room in the castle. He was nowhere. Maybe he'd gone out for a fly to clear his mind? I don't think he would, the castle is on lockdown and it takes forever to get in and out. I check my lab. I really doubt he'd be here, but it's worth a try.

I have nothing to lose.

I check the moniter room. Maybe he's looking for Sjin. Nope, he's not in the moniter room. Then a though flashes through my head. Why don't I check his monitor, it should say his location! I fear the worst result, 'Location: Unknown', but I open the trapdoor and slowly come down the ladder. I turn to the large, purple screen and scan the answer. Why was it saying that? Where was he? 'Location: WARNING DETECTED IN AREA'. Was he in here? I flew up a bit and scanned the area much like I scanned the answer, and didn't expect him to be in here. But, behind the ladder, he lay with his fingers digging into his hair, his eyes shut, and all of his weapons lying next to him.

"Rythian?" I question cautiously. I know he's broken, but he could lose it any moment.

He doesn't reply.

"Rythian, please. He was too strong. I was just wai-" I was cut off

"You just sat there. Taking it in. Look at yourself. You can cheat on me any other time, and I wouldn't lose it that much, but my kid's in there. I want him to have a Mum and Dad who love each other, not Uncle Duncan. And I mean you, not me." He smiles at the last bit. I love his smile. And at least he smiled.

"I love you, not Duncan! I was going to kill him when he stopped... kissing me! Not literally. I don't like killing. I mean I was going to have a lo-o-ong explaination of why that was bad." I come a little bid closer, and we were now about 3 metres apart. I was still flying, and it started to ache a bit.

"Well then, go on. Give me this long explaination on why it was bad." He opened his eyes and sat up.

"Well, firstly, I'm pregnant. I'm suprised he didn't see that. And secondly, I'm madly in love with another," Rythian smiled at that "His best friend actually, who nearly witnessed being murdered and didn't seem to care. Thirdly, I'm his good friend, and he just killed two friendships in the blink of an eye. Well, the kiss was a little longer than that."

"Just... Don't talk about the legnth of the goddamn kiss" He said through gritted teeth.

"Okay. I'm sorry." I flew a little further towards him. We were practically next to each other. He shuffled over a bit, and tapped the area he just shuffled out of.

"Come here." He said, whilst sighing, making him sound quite tired. I flew over gently, and lay down next to him. He was warm, and he hugged me. It was silent, but we were saying words. We were saying 'I love you, I'm sorry, I love you, please, I'm sorry' over and over again in our heads. I tilted my head sideways to lay on his left shoulder, and he put one hand around my back, and one on my, now quite big, belly. I closed my eyes, treasuring this moment, and slowly fell into sweet dreams of the future.

A/N: I know this is REALLY short, but it was a brilliant place to end it. I'll bring another chapter out today, to make up for it, but I really like this ending point, so please don't hate on me for it. I was going to continue onwards to Rata's POV, but that will happen later.

Byeeee :)
