Glass Soldier

Chapter 6

        "And-"

        "Don't feed them after sundown, I know, stop worrying," He sighed pushing me toward the group. Yawning Jay snugged into the cub mumbling about the cold.

       "If the carnivores get to-"

       "Rilled up just stray them with the light blue bottle, you'll kill us if we use the dark blue one and we'll wish you killed us if we use the purple," He grunted as if complaining.

       "You have to clean the stables-"

       "At least every other day, we got it nothing to worry about," Hesitately glancing back at him I looked at Jay, who had fallen asleep standing up. I was worried. 

      "If even one thing-"

      "Is out of place you'll have our hides, go," He shoved me in their direction while I faltered, I didn't have to go. I could stay. I could totally stay, I just had to talk Edward into it, he'd agree if I offered- "Oh my gods, you're making that face again, you aren't back out just go already,"

      "But what if-"

      "Nothing will happen," 

       "But what if-"

       "I will knock you out if I have too," He said pointedly while a whine died in my throat.

       "Fine, I'll go, but I really will kill you if you mess up anything and I have my CC so if there's a problem, call me, right away, I don't care what time it is, I don't sleep, to begin with, so its-"

       "Stop, you're freaking me out with your-" waving at me in general- "Everything, I've got it covered, I'll call if there's even the smallest of problems and will accept my fate if I fuck up," Sighing I looked between the two I nodded.

      "Alright, don't make me regret trusting you," I mumbled giving him a hug as he chuckled, ruffling my hair. Glancing back at them I sighed heavily before walking over to the group that was watching me panic at the idea of losing the first things I have ever actually been fond of.

       "Lilith, you're in charge of safe travel," Looking at him flatly, that not being something you tell someone as they're supposed to be leaving. Glancing at the three that stood a good foot apart from one another, staring at me like I was a cockroach. Aw, yeah, the big three. Pleasant people.

      "And you say that now?" I rolled my eyes, their dismissive attitudes turning sharp at my way of speaking with Mr. Council head. Edward, however, was used to my giving him shit as if it was second nature.

       "I said it now so you could not avoid it," Grumbling I rolled my eyes before looking at what the three were bringing.

       "And you think I can carry all this stuff that far?" He flattered for a moment, having not thought about there being a weight limit. One that was completely capable of carrying it all but reminding him of said limit will give me further notice in the future. Do you think I'll just transport things the way you want me too? No no no, that's not how this works.

        "Was I wrong in my assumption?" He asked while we turned to look over the stuff that would have been a problem last year.

       "Vaguely... I should be able to get us all there but keep in mind I do have a limit to my mana," I sighed dramatically, rubbing the back of my shoulder.

        "... My apologies," he gave a fast tight smile while I smirked looking at my nails.

      "I'll try to forgive you," I got an eye roll for my efforts, hopping over to him with my hands in my pockets, it being before sunrise and practically frozen outside. "Anything else?" I asked with a soft smile, he glanced at the three behind me while I didn't bother to look at them already knowing they didn't expect my behavior towards him. Most people didn't.

      "... There's a person you share similarities to that will be there," He said patting my head while I blinked in surprise, affection not something he dishes out. With a dismissive wave, he walked off leaving me to watch him do just that. Similarities? And a head pat?

      Th emerger maybe? No... The only other belong to the eighth kingdom and whether or not we were allied they weren't under the councils rule. They wouldn't let their merger run around as a mercenary in the seven kingdoms. 

      Putting my hand on my head as I continued to stare unsure as to why he had done it. Humming I twirled a piece of my hair, slowly looking at the three looking me over in different ways. "I suppose we should be going..." The bright blue circle burning into the ground behind me while I watched there reactions, wondering just how much they knew about me.

      We had to get along from now on after all.
