Love and Blood {Book 2}

Evi

I'm in Phoenix Drop's storage room, gathering supplies for Gems, Jordan, and Jolene's journey to the Ember Island.

Laurence climbs down the ladder that leads from the guest home to the storage room. He crosses his arms and looks at me. I ignore him.

"Aphmau." He states. I can tell he's trying to be confident but I can hear none in his voice.

"Laurence. Why are you here?" I turn around and glare at him. His posture collapses and I see tears form in eyes.

"I can't do this anymore!" He screams taking a step closer to me.

"We've been fighting for less than a day. You said something offensive without thinking. I thought you were a mature person." He chuckles.

"You know I'm not mature." I hold in a laugh trying to keep my posture.

"Think next time. That was offensive. It may be somewhat true, but it's not our fault! I gave up my life as a Light Lord to save you Laurence. Be thankful." I retort. He looks at the floor.

"You're right..." He mutters.

"Now. Fill this bag with necessary supplies for my friends journey. I'm going to make sure they are ready." I head for the ladder and leave him the bag.

"Did he agree?" Jordan asks as I runs down the stairs to the dock.

"No. But I'll train him in dreams, then see what he says." I reply. As I pass Jolene she pats my back.

"I hope you make up soon." She frowns at me her eyes filled with concern.

"Let's go team. To the Ember Island." Gems ushers Jolene and Jordan onto the ship.

"I'll see you guys in few days time." I wave as they sail away.

"Dreams. A long and complicated subject. Dream about ANYTHING and you tell me. That Relic could send you anything and everything. Drink this." I hand him a sleeping potion.

"I just, drink, then I sleep, then I wake up, and I tell you what happened?" He asks cautiously. I nod. He drinks it and I smile once his eyes close. I kiss his forehead and grab a book on Lady Irene while I wait for him to wake up.

A crow flys toward me and I hold out my arm for it to perch on. It has a letter attached to its leg. I untie the ribbon attaching the letter to its leg.

Aphmau,
     We have arrived safely at the Ember Islands. We are currently trying to unfreeze Evi. My fiancé. I hope you sand Laurence are well. The best of luck.

I smile and nod. I look at Laurence and see he is stirring. I put a hand in his shoulder and shake him so he wakes up.

"No. I don't want to  go..." Laurence moans. I pull my hand away, confused.

"Don't want to go? What does he mean-" I am cut off abruptly by Laurence sitting up quickly.

"They want to take me! They me to kill her! No, I can't lose control! I will follow orders. I will kill her." Laurence turns to me robotically. Oh no.

Hi guys! I have almost 50 followers! This is great! I've been on Wattpad since March, so it's been, not even a year! Course, I made ALITS in early September. 2k in 2 months! I feel like I know my fans better than my friends Irl! Haha!

But really, I'm so glad you enjoy my story! I check every comment I get, and each one I try to reply to.

I got a message from Appupappu saying that they could not access ALITS and I told them I'd check it out, and they replied with "Thank you for your time" I was surprised by this! I never thought my fans would address me so formally! I mean, it's ok, but I am more than happy to help you with any problem you have!

Have a great day guys! I mean it!
