Best Of The Fifth

Chapter 20 - Re United

[STRONG LANGUAGE!!!]

No POV -

Emily stepped over to the furnace that was set up and started to make [Y/N] a meal.

[Y/N] was waiting at the entrance to the tent, sharpening his blade.

[P/N] was balled up by [Y/N's] foot, waiting for something to eat too.

Then, Ant emerged out of the tent, with a strange expression on his face.

'[Y/N] can I talk to you quickly?' He asked.

'Sure.'

The two hunters walked out of the small area and were now overlooking the drop down into the Vale.

Anthony turned to [Y/N] and said,

'Are you and Emily together?'

[Y/N] was puzzled but responded quickly, saying,

'Yeah, we're hunter and Handler.'

[Y/N's] POV -

I hoped that Ant would leave it there...but he didn't.

'You know what I mean.'

'No, we're not...we've been through a lot together but we're not a couple.' I said, crossing my arms.

'Oh okay...just wondering. Thanks!' He said excitedly.

Ant quickly ran off.

Wonder why he was so happy.

I walked after him, not in a rush.

However, as I turned the corner, I saw Him and Emily talking. Or more like Him talking to Emily.

'Hey....Emily?'

Emily raised her head to look at him.

'I was wondering if you wan-'

'Em? Can I have your help quickly?' I shouted, cutting Anthony off.

Emily looked at me and said back,

'Yeah sure.'

Then looked back at Ant,

'Umm, I'll have to talk to you later.'

He looked a little bit disheartened, but still happy.

Emily walked over to me as I drew my sword.

She instantly stopped.

'Don't worry, I need you to help me test the weight.' I said, putting the handle towards Emily.

'Oh...Phew.'

Emily took the Handle with both hands and I knelt down, pretending to mess with the blade.

I quickly looked behind Em.

Ant wasn't looking over at us.

'Em...Ant asked me if we were together. I told him we weren't because I know you don't want many people to know.' I said.

'Oh really? Thanks-'

'But....I think he might like you.' I continued, looking at Emily.

'Wh- Really?'

'You seem surprised.'

'I'm confused....I've barely spoken to him, so I don't get why he'd ask me out.'

'Don't get me wrong, he might not, but it's what he sounded like.' I said, standing up again.

'I know where your coming from....I....I think we should tell people we're together now...I don't want this to happen again. I mean, I don't want to just yet, but We might have to.' Emily said, looking down.
