Secret love (Arc x Buttercup) {💯%}

2. Training

Buttercup pov:
So Sage and I went to the lake where we were going to train together with Arc and Warwick.
I just needed to pretend not to be in love with Arc... Ughh who am I kidding? I can't hide something like that...

So Arc and Warwick were already there.
"So, you two were on time." Sage said.
"We're not that irresponsible." Warwick said.
Arc shrugged and we started to train.

Arc and I already have our move, not that we succeeded it yet but it's a start. Now we were just practising our regular fighting.
"Buttercup, still distracted huh?" Sage said and I got pissed.
"I said that I'm not!"
"Why would you be?" Warwick asked.
"Yea Buttercup, that's what I'm thinking about too, why would you?" Sage said.
Arc looked at me thoughtfully and I pushed him backwards with my fighting stick.
"I. Am. Not. Distracted!"
And I lunged my fighting stick at Arc.
"Argh!" he said as he fell down to the ground with a wound on his head.
"Oh my- I am so sorry!" I said.
"Don't apologise Buttercup!" Sage said.
"I-"
"Arc!" Warwick said and he kneeled next to him.
"I'm outta here." Sage said and she ran off.
"Buttercup, get sir Gareth!" Warwick said and he looked at me with a hopefull look.
I looked at Arc an felt terrible. But all I did was running off too.

I felt so terrible.
Arc was hurt and unconscious... I was really hoping that he would be okay.
I sighed and sat down next to a tree.
"Something up?" a voice said and I looked up.
"Kraipan, what are you doing here?"
"Just walking around..."
"Okay."
And I went back in thoughts, I should've done something. I should've helped.
I looked at Traipan.
"Am I mean?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Just answer."
"Well... Yea, but mostly thanks to Sage."
I knew that he was right but if I wanted to be with Arc, it had to change.

Arc pov:
I slowly opend my eyes.
A huge rush of pain ran through my head.
"What the...?"
"Arc! You're awake!" Prudy's voice said.
"Prudy...?"
And my hand shot to my head, there was this huge wound right there.
"Buttercup hits harder then you'd think..." I muttered.
"It appears so. Warwick is on his way to get sir Gareth and Ciara is getting healing herbs."
"Sounds like them..."
"Are you okay?"
"It hurts a lot and I'm a little dizzy..."
"Sounds like a normal thing with a wound like that..."
Warwick and sir Gareth came in and Warwick sughed with relief.
"You're awake!"
Sir Gareth looked at me.
"How did that happen?"
"He-" Warwick said but I stopped him.
"I was running in the forest and this brach stuck out..."
Yea I lied into my teacher's face...
Prudy an Warwick looked at me with a sceptical look.
I nudged them to shut up.
"I bet Ciara went out for healing herbs?" Sir Gareth asked and Prudy nodded.
"Well this wound is pretty deep, the healing herbs will only make the wound a little less deep. You should wrap bandage around it so it can heal."
"I'll go get some." Prudy said and left.
"Then everything should be fine. But take it easy with training for a few days." Sir Gareth said and he left
Warwick looked at me.
"Why did you lied? Buttercup-"
"I heared that she apologised and got corrected by Sage before I passed out. She didn't meant to." I said.
"So what? She didn't even helped out like I asked her to."
"You'd think she'd do something which would make Sage pissed."
"No..."
So Ciara and Prudy came in on the same moment.
"Here, this will probably sting a little..." Ciara said and she put some healing herbs on my wound.
I gritted my teeth in pain.
"Sorry..." Ciara whispered.
"It's fine..."
Then Prudy gave Ciara the bandage and Ciara wrapped it around my head so it would cover the whole wound.
"Better?" she asked.
"Thanks." I said.
Warwick looked up.
"There is a kraken in our squad room!"
I looked up.
"Buttercup..."
"Get out!" Ciara said.
"This is for Feniks only!" Prudy said.
"I... I know... I just wanted to talk to Arc..." Buttercup said.
I looked at the others and stood up.
"I'll be right back."
The two of us walked outside and Buttercup's eyes went wide as she saw the bandage.
"I'm so sorry... I feel so terrible..."
We sat down by the market place.
"You know, you don't always have to care what other people say. Like Sage, if she wants you to do something, you don't acctually have to..."
"I wanted go get help but Sage said to get out of there..."
"Just forget about Sage for a sec. Okay?"
Buttercup nodded.
"Are you okay though?"
"It's nothing serious. Healing herbs fixed the most of it. But it'll heal."
"That's relief."
I looked at her.
"You were worried about me?"
"Why wouls you think that?" she said nervously.
"Nevermind... But I meant it. Think a little more about what you want instead of what Sage wants. Just go with it and do what you want."
"No matter what people think?"
I nodded.
Buttercup looked away for a second and then she turned back.
Then I felt her lips on mine.
"Wha-?"
"I should go." Buttercup said quickly and she ran off with red cheeks.
I felt that mine turned red too and I was so confused.
