Raven Hood

Chapter twenty nine

I woke up early the next morning. For a brief second I forgot about our road trip. That I would have to help my enemy. The hatred grew as every second went by. I decided I needed a distraction. I grab some fruit and toast and make my way outside to the swing. I eat there in peace trying to come up with a way to distract myself.

Rosa!

Yes! She's brilliant at cheering people up. I leap to my feet and rush to my room. Grabbing my phone I text her instantly.

-Can I come over and hang with u?

4 minutes later she replies.

-Sorry going 2 the city with my mum I'll b back at 11 tho

-Don't worry bout it. I'll find some other way to distract myself.

-Hahaha u go girl.

-Thanks

-No prob c u wen I get back.

-Yea c u then

-Bye

-Bye.

Ok so Rosas out of the question. Liam? Maybe. He was up all night trying to sort out the rouge business. Literally all night.

"Liam"?

"Uh yeah"? He asked moaning.

"Your tired aren't you"?

"Exhausted. Why"?

"Oh never mind".

"Wait! I'll do anything you want, just for you".

"No it's okay. You'll need your rest for today's trip".

"Is that what your worried about"?

"Yeah sort of".

"You'll be ok. I'll be right there next to you the whole time. And if he hurts you I'll squeeze him to a pulp".

We both laugh.

"Liam. I know you would but even if he's attacking me, please don't".

"But"...

"No Liam listen. That'll just show him I'm weak and need my mate to look after me. To fight my battles. Of course, I need you. I need you to care for me sometimes. Just not this time. Okay"?

"Yeah, I understand I guess I would say the same thing".

"Thank you Liam. You really are the best".

"I love you".

"I love you too, now get some sleep", I say kissing him on the forehead.

I walk out of our room shutting the door behind me. We both agreed he should move into my room. It's way more awesome for one. And two it's bigger. It's perfect really. Who else can I go to?

It's only 8:00 am I have another four hours to kill. And sit here worrying. Lucky me! Note the sarcasm. I ask the cook for some help and we bake a cake and two different types of muffins. I'd never heard of pumpkin muffins so I tried them. They were really nice actually. Then the good old double chocolate cake and chocolate muffins.

The cook is really fast at baking. She has to be. She's the only cook, cooking for hundreds of wolves. But the other servants help a lot. I put the cake in a container and place it in my bag after icing it with a rich chocolate icing. Then I grab a few of each type of muffin and throw them in too. The others I leave for the cook.

I still have two hours to kill. I'm starting to get shaky with nerves. Small ones. But they are defiantly there. I pick out a movie. It's just my luck it's a romantic love story. Instead, I watch Cat in the Hat. It's a child's movie I know. But it took my mind of things. A hour passed and then Rosa came rushing through the door.
