The Secret Dragon (Complete) (Editing)

Falling for you

Chapter 17 - Falling for you

Somehow I have to get Civia away from this camp. Eren should be staying away from her tent. The dragon hasn't been seen at all since Civia said she had left. All I have to do is get rid of the guards that stand beside her tent all the time.

All the rest of the day there was almost nothing for anyone to do.

We didn't pack up and go anywhere because of the condition Civia was in. She didn't wake up anymore for the rest of the day.

Here it is, night time, and all I've done all day is sit beside Civia and wait for her to wake up. Unbeknownst to everyone else I was creating my plan for taking Civia away from here.

*************

Civia's POV

I groaned. My head hurt really bad.

"Civia, are you okay?" I heard someone ask, then felt someone grab my hand.

I groaned again and began opening my eyes. The place was pretty dark. "Where am I?" I asked.

I couldn't remember anything since I was home arguing with my mom about getting married, again.

"You're inside your tent." It was that guy again. He sounded familiar, but I couldn't remember where I knew him from.

"I don't have a tent. Where's my mom?" I've never had a tent before. Every time I left home I just slept on the ground. I had no need for a tent, it would've just slowed me down.

"She'll be here soon. Go back to sleep." The same voice said. Where was my parents. My mom would never leave me alone with a guy... unless I had asked her to, but why would I do that? My eyes slowly closed. I didn't go to sleep, like he had said. I wanted to find out what was going on and who was talking to me.

He let go of my hand and I felt colder.

"I think you better leave. Until she has her memory back she shouldn't see you. It might be too much of a shock on her and she is not in a good condition for any type of shock."

Who is he talking about? Who is he talking to? Could it be me? What type of condition? How could anything shock me?

I heard someones footsteps receding.

I knew those footsteps. I once knew a person that walked like that.

Who could it be?

All day long I've been wanting to get out of bed and do something. I've never been one to wait for something to happen, I liked to make things happen.

The only thing that stopped me was the man that waited beside my 'bed'. It wasn't very comfortable, but I didn't dare complain.

After I saw the sun go down I knew my mom wasn't really coming. She probably didn't even know that anything happened to me, heck, I didn't know if or what happened to me.

The man was still sitting beside me, but I couldn't just sit here any longer, I had to get some answers.

I opened my eyes and saw the guy stiffen. I decided to play the part.

"Has my mom come yet?" I asked, even though I already knew his answer. He'd either tell me that she'd be arriving soon, she was busy with something and couldn't come to wherever I was, or she already stopped by, saw that I was fine, then left to go back home.

"Um...She said she was really busy and had to get back home. She was really relieved that you were okay. I'm sorry that you weren't awake to see her."
