Angel Wings

Chapter 7

A few hours later you wake up to someone shaking your shoulder. You open your eyes confused to see Will standing there. You sit up rubbing your eyes before pushing your hair out of your face.

"(Y/N) will you come train with me?"

"I guess so, let me change into my gear and I'll meet you in the training room."

He walks out without another word as you move the covers out of the way. You move to your gear which is hanging and change into it. Afterwards you pull your hair and away from your face before leaving your room. You stand in the doorway and watch as Will throws daggers at the target on the wall before pulling them from the wall. You set your katana down as he turns to face you. He holds the dagger quite loosely in his hands causing you to furrow your eyebrows in confusion.

There is half a second of realization that hits you before you roll away from your spot. A dagger hits the wall about an inch from where you stood a second ago. You grin watching him and try to dodge the daggers he is throwing at you. You see that he is on his last dagger and smirk at him causing him to look confused. Before he can realise what you are doing you run at him and tackle him to the ground. The two of you fight for control over the dagger and you vaguely feel the dagger cut you. Unconcerned you pin both of his wrist to the ground before smirking. You roll away before standing as Will stands up as well. His eyes flick to your hand and you look to seeing the blood upon it along with the ring. You try to heal yourself, but it doesn't work causing you to sigh.

"How about we get bandages to stop your hand from bleeding?"

"Alright. You lead the way."

Will leads you to where the bandages are and has you sit down. You're washing the dried blood off when Charlotte comes in. She gasps seeing the blood and comes over as Will puts the bandage on. Once it is on she looks between the two of you.

"(Y/N) what happened?"

"I'm okay. It was just a nick from a dagger and it's my fault really. Will and I were fighting for control over the dagger during training and it cut me. Really, I'm fine. No harm was seriously done."

"Fighting over a dagger?"

"He was helping with my agility in a different way. So, he had his last dagger and before he could do anything I tackled him. After that we wrestled for control over the dagger and I pinned both of his wrist to the ground."

"I swear you two seem exactly like siblings."

"Charlotte, I want to speak to you about something and you might as well stay Will. I know if you were sent away you'd stay at the door and listen in."

Will nods and moves to close the door when he stops. Confused you tilt your head and Jem casually pokes his head in. You motion for him to come in and he sits next to you as Will closes the door. Anxiously you twirl the ring around your finger waiting for Will to come closer. He sits on your other side as Charlotte stands in front of you. You take a deep breath to ease your nerves before you begin.

"I'm sure Will has figured this out, but I felt that I needed to tell you this myself. I felt I owed it to you because all of you have welcomed me into the Institute even though I could have been a threat."

"Will told me he had a feeling that the two of you wouldn't be a threat."

"I am eternally grateful for that as well. Charlotte, you know I came to speak to you two days ago on a certain matter and finally found out the answer for myself. It is love and I found out it was mutually returned. Thomas and I are engaged, but don't have any plans to marry just yet. We both feel a loyalty to the Institute and it will come first."
