Chapter 14

At the deep forest
Alarica walked slightly ahead of Sienna, her eyes sharp and alert. Her fingers twitched slightly, brushing against the pocket knife hidden beneath her jacket. She wasn’t taking any chances.
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
(I don't trust them. Not for a second)
Sienna stayed unusually quiet. Her eyes were fixed on the ground, avoiding Ronan’s gaze completely.
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
You okay?
Sienna Larke (Fl Friend)
Sienna Larke (Fl Friend)
*Nods*
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
You are my strong girl. *Smile*
Alarica’s expression softened. She gently tucked a strand of hair behind Sienna’s ear and brushed her fingers over the faint bruise along her cheekbone.
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
I won’t let him hurt you again. *Said in a low promised tone*
Sienna Larke (Fl Friend)
Sienna Larke (Fl Friend)
*Nods and smile* I trust you. I'm safe with you.
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
(Trust me? But why?) *Stare at sienna*
Ronan Drax (ML friend)
Ronan Drax (ML friend)
Keep moving *Cold*
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
*Eyes went to him, jaw clenching*
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
*Hands instinctively curled into fists*
She wasn’t backing down.
Ronan Drax (ML friend)
Ronan Drax (ML friend)
*Smirk slightly*
But then she saw it—the glimmer of mischieve in his eyes.
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
(He is planning something.) *Feel something off*
Without breaking eye contact, she subtly shifted in front of Sienna, shielding her slightly.
Ronan Drax (ML friend)
Ronan Drax (ML friend)
*Look at her with daring eyes*
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Stay close sienna. *Whispered*
Sienna Larke (Fl Friend)
Sienna Larke (Fl Friend)
Yes madam *Giggled*
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
(My cute furious kitten) *Admiring her*
The forest path narrowed, and suddenly, the ground seemed to give way.
Alarica stumbled slightly, her boots slipping against the uneven dirt. She barely caught herself, as Kael held her tightly.
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
*Hold alarica hand* Careful
Ronan quickly takes his chance and holds Sienna by her waist while gripping on her wrist tightly.
Sienna Larke (Fl Friend)
Sienna Larke (Fl Friend)
*Breath hitched*
Ronan Drax (ML friend)
Ronan Drax (ML friend)
Shhh *Said warningly*
Before she could react, he yanked her backward, dragging her through the thick underbrush. Sienna immediately calls alarica like she is her shield.
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
*Eyes widen* Sienna!
Without hesitation, she lunged forward. Her fingers grazed Sienna’s arm for a fleeting second. But then Ronan shoved her away with brutal force.
kael immediately held her before she slammed to the tree. He held her by her shoulder and held her waist. She immediately looked at the kael for a few seconds and then turned her gaze to Ronan.
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Let her go, you bastard!
And just as Alarica was about to lunge again.... A hand clamped around her wrist.
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Stay here *Said coldly*
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
No, I'm not leaving her. *Said angrily*
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
You’ll make it worse for her. *hissed in anger*
Alarica struggled against him, her chest heaving with ragged breaths. Her fists slammed against his chest.
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Let me go
Alarica stood too close to him, her fists clenched at her sides, eyes blazing with fury as she glared at Kael.
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Why the hell did you stop me? *Furious*
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Because you are acting like a fool.
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
A fool?
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
He’s hurting her, Kael! And you’re defending him?
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Ronan loves her and Sienna… she loves him too. *said casually*
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
So even if it’s a little pain for discipline, it doesn’t hurt.
The words sliced through her like a blade. She stared at him, disbelief flashing in her eyes.
And then—pure disgust.
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
You’re just as twisted as him.
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
You are just overdramatic.
He muttered coolly, turning slightly as if he was done with the conversation.
But Alarica wasn’t.
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
*Grabbing his arm and forcing him to face her* You’re no better than that monster!
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
*Silently staring at her*
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
You are disgusting
Kael barely budged, but the fire in her eyes caught his attention.
For the first time, his calm facade cracked ever so slightly.
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
*Jaw clenched*
But he didn’t lash out.
No
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
*Chuckled* You’re cute when you’re angry
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
*Eyes narrows in disbelief*
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
what the hell is wrong with you? *Raised her voice to make him furious*
But he only took a step closer.
And another.
Until their faces were mere inches apart.
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
You are a feisty little one, Alarica.... And... *Hold her chin*
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
*Look at him*
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
And it's tempting *Smirk*
His eyes flickered down to her lips for a fleeting moment before meeting her gaze again.
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
I like it *Murmured*
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
*Hand shot up to shove him back*
But he caught her wrist midair. His grip was firm, not forceful, but strong enough to stop her.
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
You don't scare me!!
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
*Smirk faintly* I know
They both are fighting with each other like a cat and Dog fight. Alarica went behind Ronan as she wanted to find the sienna. kael just followed her while teasing her.
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
you are sick, just like he is.
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
If you say so *Calmly walking behind her*
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
You think everything is a game, don’t you?
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
People are suffering, and you—
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
And what?
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
You think your anger is going to fix everything? You think your impulsiveness will save Sienna? You’ll just end up getting killed, Alarica.
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
At least I’m not a coward who just watches! *Said angrily while looking for sienna*
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
And what would you have me do? *Said irritatingly*
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Do something! Stop him! Protect Sienna! *Said and turned toward him*
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
You don’t understand how the world works, Alarica.
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Then explain it to me. Ohh wise one!
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
You wouldn’t like the answer.
She was about to say something But then ...
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
*eyes flicked over his shoulder.*
The forest.
It was silent.
Too silent
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Kael *Voice shaking*
She was so focused on her anger that she didn’t realize how deep they had wandered into the forest.
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
What?
But he didn’t seem concerned. Instead, his eyes remained fixed on her.
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Kael *Repeat again*
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
We—We weren’t supposed to go this far. *Muttered*
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
*Frown*
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
We are lost.
The smirk slipped from his face. His eyes snapped to the woods around them. The towering trees were unfamiliar, and the faint shouts from the others were long gone.
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
*Chuckled* Relax. It’s just a forest. Unless you’re scared?
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Shut up
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
You know… if you’re scared, you could always hold my hand. *Teased her while giving his hand*
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
In your dreams
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
My dreams are much better than this. *Smirk while imagining*
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
*Grinned* A little. You’re cute when you’re mad.
Alarica shot him another glare, but before she could snap back—
Smugglers/ Goon
Smugglers/ Goon
Well *Voice echo in silence*
Kael’s playful expression shifted instantly. His eyes sharpened, his entire posture changing from relaxed to alert in a heartbeat.
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
*Look at the source of voice*
Without a word, he placed his hand on Alarica’s back and slowly pushed her behind him.
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
*Confused*
Three figures emerged from the thick shadows. Their clothes were ragged, stained with dirt and sweat.
Alarica’s breath caught in her throat. She instinctively stepped closer to Kael.
Smugglers/ Goon
Smugglers/ Goon
Well, well… What do we have here? *Sneered*
Kael Vortigern (ML)
Kael Vortigern (ML)
*Jaw tightened*
Smugglers/ Goon
Smugglers/ Goon
Looks like you two wandered a little too far. *Said mockingly*
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
*Look at kael while standing behind him*
Kael’s expression remained neutral, but Alarica saw the way his muscles tensed slightly.
Alarica Volkova (FL)
Alarica Volkova (FL)
(Why does he look.... Scared? Are we really in trouble.) *Gulp in fear*
