The Starting Ember to a Roaring Flame ( Eric love story The Huntsman)

A Chance?

After what felt like years I pulled myself up no more tears to spill out as the dam rebuilt itself. I walked to the bunks and pulled on the clothes I had to wear to keep up the appearance of me being normal and I climbed back into bed and shut my eyes. Hoping that this night was a dream, and I fell asleep lying to myself that I was okay and that everything was absolutely fine.

I was awoken by the general yelling at us to get our lazy asses up I pulled myself out of the bed a sweat breaking out at my small exertion with all of these hot layers on. I walked out to the courtyard and found that everything from last night wasn't there. Maybe it was just a dream after all, hope filled my eyes and I looked for Sara and Eric. They were standing together and I moved over toward them.

Eric noticed me first and he just shook his head and Sara glanced at him to see what he was looking at and when her green eyes fell upon my hazel ones she scowled. At that point I knew that it wasn't a dream. I backed up and ran to a small shed I slammed the door and I fell against the wall the dam broke again and I sobbed into my knees. I heard the door opened and I yelled,

" Leave me be."

Then a voice spoke a voice I thought I would never hear again,

" If I leave then you would not be able to explain everything to me."

My head shot up and at the door I saw Eric,

" Eric?"

" Aye It's me, now last night I believe you didn't get to explain."

" Really you want me to explain?"

My voice cautious but hopeful he nodded vigorously and I scooted over as he came to sit by me. I then proceeded to talk and tell him about everything, and in the end after I told him about Ravenna and Freya, I felt like bursting into tears. I hated feeling so weak so instead of focusing on my tears I focused on my anger. By the time I was finished Eric was comforting me as I cried into his chest.

And that day was the first day that I felt something for Eric but it sure as hell wouldn't be the last.
