The Life of a Guardian is Harder Than You Think

(Adiva POV)

I woke up and for once, it was actually quiet. I wanted to just lie there but, Wen. I sat up, bent over the edge of the bunk bed, and balanced myself upside down. Wen was still asleep.

"Wen." I whispered. She didn't reply.

"Wen." I said again.

"Wen!" I said slightly louder. She still remained motionless. I twisted over bent back, grabbed the bunk boards and swung myself next to her. She sat up, gasped, and hit her head on the board.

"Good morning! How are you today!?" I asked loudly.

"What is wrong with you!?" She yelled.

"I'm happy!" I said. Silver walked into the room and looked at us as if she was terrified.

"It's not weird." I explained. Sil walked out of the room.

"Get off of me." She said shoving me off her bed.

"Ok." I said getting off the floor.

"I don't need you following me around today. I want to be left alone, I want to actually enjoy the day." She explained.

"But Jay said-"

"I don't care what Jay said! Jay can go-"

"Adiva, Wen, breakfast!" Daelynn said walking into the room. Wen and I left to the dining room.

"Don't treat me like a mindless puppy." Wen said leaving the room. She marched passed Lynn and I tried to catch up.

"Adi." Lynn said stopping as we reached the end of the hall.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Can you and Sil keep an eye on her today? I'm sorry, but you won't be switching at least until tomorrow." She explained.

"Yeah, Cait said she was willing to switch." I said.

"She can take over tomorrow, with someone else." Lynn said walking to the dining room. Wen and Jay were having a little bickering session in the far end. I walked over to Silver and Cait.

"Hey guys, how's it going?" I asked.

"Good, I guess." Said Cait.

"Why?" I asked.

"I don't know I'm still getting over a nightmare I had last night." She replied.

"What was it about?"

"Xavier." She said. She didn't trust him even in the slightest. She was also a third generation cousin to him. She had more of the green diamond area blood. She explained to me the nightmare of being forced to marry him.

"That'd be pretty scary." I said.

"Eh, I probably shouldn't worry too much, it was only a dream." She said walking to the table. Me and Silver sat on either side of Wen.

Later that day, us three invited Silica to come with us. Lynn and Jay said that if we were going out, Wen and the Triches had to wear some sort of hood. Silica seemed content with going outside sense Philoso tried a few things and got her wings to also grow through the cloak. He also did the same to Silver's wings.

Once we got outside Silica managed to fly around from tree to tree... To tree... To tree. I walked alongside Wen and Silver trailed behind.

"Oh my gosh! It's a little black bunny!" Silica said as she rounded the top of a fairly large tree.

"Look! I caught it!" She said flying back to us. The small rabbit struggled a lot to get out of her grip.

"Put it down, you're hurting it." Wen said walking ahead. Silica put the rabbit down it thumped and hopped away.

"Is Wen going to be okay?" Silica asked.

"I'm not sure." I replied.

I walked toward Wen who sped up a little bit. I started to race walk, she started to jog. This continued until we started to sprint.

"Wen! Slow down!" I yelled almost out of breath.

"Leave me alone!" She yelled.

"But you'll be- uh!" I said and tripped. I looked above me to see Silica and Silver who started to take flight.

Eventually all three us managed to chase Wen back to the base. She went back to taking care of Adrinna who could now sit up.
