After War Storm

Cameron

Mid afternoon...

"Kilorn, I've really got to go and pick up Ti from Evangeline," I muttered against his lips.
"But I want you to stay here, with me," he whined. We kissed again.

"I'll only be a minute, then we can carry on."
"We can't do this with a baby in the room," he said rolling us round so he was on top of me.

His lips pressed against the base of my neck and worked their way up my jaw ending at my mouth.

"You know you're making it really hard for me to leave right now."
"That's the idea," he said, running his hands up the side of my body.

I rolled us over so I was on top of Kilorn again and I sat up so I was straddling him.

"I promised Mare I'd look after her son and I haven't seen him all day."
"Evangeline is Mare's best friend. I'm sure Mare won't mind her looking after Ti," Kilorn argued.
"She might not mind but I was left in charge of Ti and he is sleeping here so I am going to get him."

I stood up and quickly got dressed again. I gave Kilorn a quick kiss before leaving the room.

I couldn't believe Kilorn was really here. And that we'd spent the day together, since training.

I hadn't realised how much I'd missed Kilorn being around until I saw him this morning.

I headed to Evangeline's room and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" She called.
"Cameron," I answered.
"Come in!" Evangeline said and I opened the door and stepped inside.

Evangeline was sat on the bed with Ti, feeding him which was strange as it was neither dinner or lunch.

"Hey," Evangeline said, standing up with Ti. "Did you come to take this little one back?"
"Uhuh," I said and Evangeline passed him over.
"When do you think they'll be back?" She asked.
"I have no idea. I guess it depends on how many Newbloods they find before they bring them back."
"Yeah. I wonder how they're getting on."
"Hopefully they're doing well. If they come back with nothing then all the others will just think they were right," I said.

"So is it true?" Evangeline asked, a sparkle in her eyes.
"Is what true?"
"Is Kilorn here?"
"Yes," I said, blushing.

"How is he?"
"Fine," I said. "Can I just take Ti and save myself from being thoroughly embarrassed?"
"Sure," she said laughing and handed me Ti. "See you later," I said as I carried Ti from the room.

I passed only one boy on the way back to my room. I hadn't seen him before but he looked about 15 and had dark hair. Maybe he was one of the Newbloods staying in the palace.

I made it halfway back to my room before I saw anyone else. It was a girl who looked around my age and she had blonde hair and blue eyes.

What was weird though, was that she stopped in front of me.
"Who are you?" I asked stopping walking. She didn't answer me. I was about to say something else when I heard something very strange. It was as if she had spoken but her lips hadn't moved.

'Evangeline is looking after Ti until tomorrow' the voice said in my head. I tried to get away but I couldn't seem to move. 'Hand me Ti' she thought and I did. 'Forget you saw me here. You asked Evangeline for Ti and she said she wanted to look after him until tomorrow. You walked back to you room without stopping or seeing me.'

I walked back to my room and back to Kilorn. I was happy he was back and now with Evangeline looking after Ti we could pick up where we left off.

"Where's Ti?" Kilorn asked when I got back to the room.
"Evangeline's keeping him until tomorrow."
"Then get back over here," he said and I did and we continued from where we were before I'd left a few minutes ago.

I know it's quite a short chapter and I know that some of it was quite awkward and not well written but I can't really write from Cameron's POV. So honestly that might be the last we hear from her perspective. Unless it's important later on.

Next chapter is out as well and big things are coming. I warn you now they won't all be good.
