At least I'm Alive

Camp

Robin sat down beside her sighing.

Abela was completely flustered, and flinched at his presence.

"Sorry...if you hate me." Robin said leaning forward, and looking at the fire.

"What? I don't hate you." Abela said surprised.

She figured out that it was all because of her avoiding him, made him think that.

"What? You've been avoiding me all day..." Robin said looking down.

Abela leaned on his shoulder, saying "Sorry if you felt that way. I just feel embarrassed when I see you. I'm still flustered about the marriage thing. I won't ignore you again."

Robin looked at Abela, making Abela stop leaning on him and facing him.

"Did I propose too late? Too soon?" Robin said furrowing his eyebrows.

"No, no, it's okay. I just feel embarrassed, getting married this quick, and the fact that I like it." She said glancing away.

Making Robin at ease, and chuckle at her cuteness.

"Oh? That was it?" Robin was surprised.

"I.. overreacted sorry." He faced her looking down.

Abela grabbed his hands, and kissed his forehead.

"It's okay." She said.

...

After having an hour of talking, Robin was tired, and said their goodnights.

Abela went in her tent to see laying down, facing the side.

Abela quietly lied down facing the other side.

They were quiet at first, and Odeda suddenly spoke.

"Hey..uh..are you asleep?" She asked.

Surprising Abela who was about to fall asleep.

"No..what's up?" Abela replied.

"Well, uh...I have a question." She suddenly sniffled.

"Go ahead." Abela said.

She teared up, "well, I kinda liked someone from the knights..and he made fun of me and rejected me..calling me crazy, because humans can't love spirits."

Abela stayed silent.

She sat up, turning to her.

"Hey, don't take what he said to heart, he's stupid enough to think that. He probably doesn't know you can kill him any second." Abela said.

Odeda sat up sniffling and crying a little.

"I really did like him." Odeda said.

Abela wiped her tears using her thumb, saying
"Oh honey, stop crying."

Odeda was holding everything back.

"No one is worth your tears, but if you meet someone who is...they won't make you cry." Abela said, thinking about Kai

Making Odeda let go a few more tears, and wiping it immediately.

"Thank you." Odeda said.

"No problem, now get some beauty rest." Abela said as she laid down facing the opposite direction.

So did Odeda.

"Oh, and... Humans and spirits can indeed fall in love with eachother. They should just look closely, and you can definitely be happy." Abela said making Odeda confused.

'You owe me Kai...' Abela thought before drifting to sleep.

...

Noon came around, tension rose.

Anytime, any where, war will erupt.

Everyone had eventually woken up, and dressed up in new clothes.

They all gathered to have brunch.

"Did you sleep well?" Robin asked as he sat next to Abela.

She nodded, eating her food.

She glanced at Odeda who felt nervous.

And Kai who was beside her, was continuously glancing at Odeda.

Abela sighed, and she saw one knight joking around with some other knights who were teasing him.

They often looked at Odeda.

Abela massaged her temples, pissed at the sight.

"Is something wrong?" Robin asked.

"I'm going to have to make a fuss." Abela said.

As she stood up and went to the Knight.

"Hey dude, you guys are really loud" Abela said, clearly pissing them off.

"Get used to it missy." He replied.

"I definitely can, but if it's from a guy who pisses me off..." Abela said, bumping his back, making his food spill on him.

"What the hell?!" The knight said standing up, ready to fight her.

"Come at me." Abela said.

Before any more words were said, an explosion had erupted from afar.

Chamberlain came running "Prepare yourselves!" He shouted, as everyone sprinted off.

Abela glared at the knight one last time before heading to her tent.
