Chapter 2

Chapter 2...

I carried Henry all the way back to camp. He was a little heavy, but I managed. I sighed. I wondered how Chrom and the other Shepherds will react. They are probably gonna be scared of him because of him being a dark mage. I looked back...and I saw...WHAT?!

The crows that Henry was playing with...They are following me! Why are they following me?! I sighed. I decided to let them follow me anyway, since the crows like Henry, I suppose.

Which makes me wonder something. Why do the crows like Henry? Did he do something nice for them? It didn't matter now.

I carried him to my tent. I lied him down on a pillow. I sighed. I wondered what pain did he felt exactly. Maybe I will ask him once he wakes up. Until I heard Henry mutter something. Something that sounded like he's in...pain?

"No...please." He muttered quietly. However, it was loud enough for me to hear. I leaned in a little closer so I can hear better. I heard even more mutters from him. All of the mutters were filled with pain and...sadness? What the heck...?

"Get out of my head...!" He muttered a little louder. I stood back only a little. "Mom...dad. No!" He muttered even further. I debated on waking him up or not. He finally woke up with a raspy gasp. I screamed. He then wheezed. I then heard footsteps coming towards my tent. Oh sugar honey iced tea! I hid Henry quickly with my hat and pillows with Henry's muffled grunting.

It was Chrom. It literally was Chrom.

"Ricken, are you okay?" He asked. His tone filled with concern as his face was filled with concern as well. I had to lie. I had to be dishonest so Chrom doesn't know Henry is here. "Uh, yeah! I'm fine!" I said nervously while smiling. Oh, screw this. He won't buy this. "Okay, cause I heard you screaming." He replied to me, his concern fading away. Did he literally bought that?! Wow, Chrom...Just wow.

He left my tent to go train. I sighed in relief and pulled my hat and pillow away from Henry. "What was that for?" He asked in a innocent tone. I sighed. "People will probably kill me if they see I brought you here." I replied to him. Henry was surprised at what I said to him. I nodded at him. He then started giggling and he left my tent. Wait...he...WHAT?!

He literally left my tent! Oh crap! I have to go after him! I left my tent to go after him. But my stupid boots made me trip. "OW!" I yelp. He was far away from me. Oh crap! Chrom noticed him! Oh no...Oh no...Oh no...Henry might tell him that I was the one that hid him and he is probably also gonna tell him that again, I was the one that found him and took him to my tent. Oh crap...

What am I gonna do?
