Half Soul {Garroth x Reader}

Chapter 23-In The End

Aph's POV

The moment is here. I can't believe it. I feel like I'm going to be sick if I stay on this wall any longer. But my people need me, and right now, I need them too. 

"Zane, please, stop this!" I call out my final plea. "I'll do anything, I'll marry you, just stop!"

"Well," he laughs. "Survive this and I might just take you up on that offer."

"Guards," The army readies themselves, and I brace myself for impact. "Charge!" 

In an instant, the warlock has conjured a spell and broke through the wall that I was standing on a second ago. My ears start to ring as I'm thrown forward from the force of the blast. Time seems to slow and I'm in a daze. I gently upright myself and I am immediately locked into the battle. 

Emmalyn's POV

"Kenmur, we have to hurry!" I urge him to continue.

"I'm going as fast as I can," Kenmur seems as frustrated as I am. A loud boom sounds somewhere behind us. "Oh no! They must have broken the wall!" 

"Then move your butt!" I push him forward. We continue searching. Another loud boom. 

"Come on, Emmalyn! I don't think it's safe out here. Let's try the old lord's home! If we don't find anything we should take shelter there and wait this out." We quickly duck as another loud boom shakes the ground. Kenmur pulls his goggles down and looks around. "There! There's heat signatures coming from......the basement?"

"Well let's go!"

Your POV

Laurence has to basically pull you off of your dad. Nicole had gotten the first hit but yours had obviously done more damage. He stumbled back, looking shocked.

"(Y/N)? Y-you're alive!" He's almost crying. "Y-you're alive! I-I was so worried!" He pulls you into a hug. You blush.

"Dad, I'm fine," He lets you go and you step back as he and Aphmau start to discuss Lord business. You feel a tap on your shoulder and turn to see Laurence standing next to you.

"(Y/N), could I borrow you for a minute," he whispers. You smile and you and him quickly slip away, unnoticed. He leads you down the destroyed pathway toward the gate. He stops to pay respects at Ungrith's grave site. You wait patiently so as not to disturb him, when you notice Garroth.

Anyone could tell he'd been in a battle. His face covered in dust and smeared with dabs of blood. A small cut on his cheek seems to be his only injury, not that your suprised. Garroth is one of the best fighters in Phoenix Drop.

You quickly find yourself staring and look away, blushing. 

"Where is Laurence?" His voice is cold, making it clear he meant strictly business. You thought he'd have forgave you already, considering it had been several weeks.

"What's your problem with me?" You finally get up the nerve to ask, completely ignoring his question. "What did I do to make you hate me so much? I know what happened on the docks, but that was self defense! You have no right to-"
