Conall Wolf

12) I don't want this anymore

Conall immediately goes to bed, ignoring the few people that are still left from the party. He takes the complete content of the bottle he got. He makes the most disgusting face he ever made and he starts to cough. Roselyn starts to wake up slowly from the coughing and Conall makes himself small, he didn't want to wake anyone.

"Sorry..." He whispers. He quickly changes into his pyjamas and then he gets under his blanket and tries to fall asleep, hoping tomorrow will be a better day.

"What's wrong Lán?" Roselyn asks really soft after an hour or so, probably hoping no one else hears her. Unfortunately Conall was still awake because he couldn't sleep. Apparently Faolán was awake as well because Roselyn gets an answer back.

"I am worried about Con... there happened something this evening and I could see it really broke him. I don't want him to be sad." Faolán whispers back.

"Maybe everything was just to much, together with him being chosen as a champion. It isn't something easy. I told you guys not to participate, look at him. This is not happening out of no where." Roselyn whispers on her stern way.

"It's not that Rose... The whole werewolf thing is killing him inside, I can sense it." Faolán whispers worried.

"I hope you are right. But then we have to help him."

"We will..."

And then there was a silence. Conall could feel that they are both looking up to look at him. He tries his best to not move and then he closes his eyes. Was he acting so weird today? He was just so distracted by everything, and he just wants to be done with being a werewolf. He hates it so much, he wants to run away from it so badly. Roselyn and Faolán probably didn't had a plan anymore of talking any further because it stayed silent, and Conall falls asleep after worrying for a while.

The next morning Conall was surprising that he was last one in their cabin. He is always the one who is awake the first of everyone, but he probably worried till deep in the night, so he needed his sleep. Luckily it is Saturday so they don't have to do anything today. All their first classes were introduction so they don't have a lot of homework, which will probably be more and more over the weeks. But that won't stop their homework free weekend.

Conall jumps out of the bunkbed and he changes into some nicely warm clothes. When he walks out of the cabin he sees that even the carriage is completely deserted. He now looks at the clock in the carriage and he realises it is pretty late already, almost afternoon. Everyone is just enjoying the last nice days outside, or exploring the castle.

He gets out of the carriage and he looks directly at the huge castle where the doors are standing open. He wants to walk to the castle to get some food and look for the others, but he just decided to first make a walk on the grounds. He does not feel to socialise with anyone, he just wants to be alone and gets all his thoughts clear.

So he decides to go to the complete different way then to the castle. He walks around over the ground with his hands in his pockets until he comes across professor Diggory again. He first spots her in the distance working on something. He can't tell what she is doing but it is really fascinating to look at. After a while professor Diggory spots him and she waves that he should join her.

Conall sighs, because he actually doesn't wanna talk at all today. But something inside him says he needs to go, that it is okay to go to her. So he walks up to her and now he is seeing she is making food ready, probably for some creatures which she is caring for.

"Do you not have it cold?" Professor Diggory first asks.

Conall looks at himself and he sees he has pretty warm clothes on so he is wondering why she is saying that. "No, why?"
