My Elvendale Adventure (Cronan X Reader)

Chapter 9: Emily's Arrival

Up... down, up... down. I threw the small hairbrush I had found in the vanity, in the air while laying on my bed. I've run out of things to do and was very bored. I tried to read the books I got from the library, but they weren't in English. I've sang to myself, danced, and even tried to clean my room. Nothing was keeping me entertained.

I stop throwing the hairbrush and sit up on my bed. It feels like I had been trapped in here for days, when it was probably just an hour. I lean over the edge of my bed and think about Cronan, Why would he lock me in here? I mean I said I wanted to be a hostage, but I didn't mean it like this.

Suddenly, I feel like I hear something. I stand on my bed and peer out the window above me. I couldn't see very well, but it was just enough to spot Cronan walking with Naida. I watch carefully below me as they walk past me and out of sight.

"That's odd," I say out loud since nobody can hear me. "What's Naida doing here?" I look back out the window but I don't see them anymore.

I shrug and flop down on my bed. "She is probably here to talk to Cronan about setting me free or something." Then a terrible thought came into my mind. I sit up, "What if she likes Cronan?"

I immediately start thinking of all the things I have ever heard Naida say or do. I begin to pace around my room.

"She did ask if Cronan was nice when they rescued Sophie." I start to panic as jealousy and anger build up inside me. "Is that why he locked me in my room? So he could flirt with her?"

I was so busy ranting that I didn't notice I was about to ram my pinky toe into the leg of my bed. When I did I yelped and fell on the ground from shock. I held my foot as I mumbled about the pain. Once it stopped hurting I laid on my bed again. I figured that I might as well take a nap if there was nothing else to do. I shut my eyes and attempted to fall asleep.

Sleeping was a bust. I tried but I could only think about Cronan and Naida. That's why I was so relieved when I heard the handle to my locked door jiggle. I sat up and looked at the door, waiting to be free once again.

Cronan peaked through the doorway and said a simple "c'mon" before swinging the door open and walking back out into the hall. I jumped up from my bed and walked out of my room as I felt unnecessary anger well up inside me.

"That's all you can say is c'mon?" I looked to Cronan who was at the end of the hallway now. "You lock me in my room for like 3 hours and all you can say is c'mon?!"

Cronan stopped as his hands at his sides, turn to fists. I could feel the tension in the room, but I proceeded.

"Why did you even lock me in there anyway?" I snapped at him. He didn't do or say anything, he just stood there. "Was it so you could go off and flirt with Naida?"

That was it. I had done. Cronan turned around on his heels and stomped towards me and before I could blink, he had ahold of both my arms with my back against the wall. I could feel his hot breath on my face as nails dig into my arms and it was at that moment that I knew I f*cked up.

"Is that what you think? That I was flirting with Naida?" Cronan hissed at me.

"I saw you walking with her through my window! What else was I supposed to think!"

"Anything else! But instead you think I would go and flirt with another girl when I am alREADY INTERESTED IN YOU!"

Woah woah woah, he just said that. He really just said that! The thought runs through my mind as a small smile appears at the corner of my mouth.

Cronan freezes and his face glows red with embarrassment. He looks down before releasing me and racing down the hall. I run after him calling his name but he doesn't answer. I go to his side but he just looks the other way. I felt bad for making him feel embarrassed, I wanted to show him that he shouldn't be and I knew the best way to do that.
