Chapter 9 - talking

Rowan was up early once again. Both boys were still asleep, probably exhausted. Miles because of all the travelling and Leo since he pushed his shoulder pretty far yesterday. She sympathised with the both of them and decided to let them sleep in.

She decided she'd go check on Lamarie and Rika, there hadn't been any recent war movements so she was pretty curious on what was happening.

She prepared some food for Leo and Miles just in case they woke up while she was out. She wrote a small note, leaving it by the food explaining where she'd gone and that she planned to take them all somewhere once she returned.

Even with how long Leo had been here, she hadn't actually gotten to know him that well and with Miles' arrival she wanted the three of them to get on. Miles needed that.

    The atmosphere in the room had changed, if it was tense before, Toby had no idea what to call it now. Deadly maybe.No one said a word as the silence dragged out unbearably long. Caleb and Toby were waiting for Jon's next move, after all they were the ones who had pissed him off. Well Toby had."All we want to know is why did you involve Katra-" Caleb cleared his throat awkwardly, trying to keep the conversation going "-and how they plan to get involved" he finished, regaining his calm composure as he stared Jon down."Katra is an ally of mine, so of course I would involve them in any conflict Rika was in. The Katrian leader asked to get involved, they seem very...interested in your land" Jon said, at first he seemed like he was genuinely answering their question.

    "I can't believe I'd never been to that place before!" Leo spoke loudly, throwing his hands up in the air in an animated manner. That was a new thing she'd learnt about Leo, when he was happy and excited he'd use hand gestures or well gestures in general to help him describe what he was talking about. She had had to dodge his hands a few times as he threw them out quickly in excitement. "Same" she responded, holding back her laughter as he skipped a head to go jump on Miles. He didn't actually jump on him, more like pretended he would, which caught Miles off guard causing the both of them to trip over and have to catch themselves. "You idiot" Miles hissed, pushing Leo away from him as he began to become overly affectionate.

    Rowan heard the bang before she could even see who caused it. But as her eyes searched frantically near the front gate to see if she could spot an offender.She saw no one. Her mind instantly reminded her of earlier when someone was messing by the gate. Whoever it was they had obviously set some type of device that would blow up and start a fire.For explosive damage, there didn't seem to be any. So at least it wasn't a bomb. The fire was a massive worry though.There was only one person this could've been. Jon. He had probably gotten one of his lower citizens to do it. What was this man's obsession with fire? This was the second one he's started.There wasn't much she could do besides watch, the nearest water

    Rowan collapsed onto her back with a huff. Sky glanced over at her to see what she was doing and laughed slightly seeing Rowan laying down."Are you tired?" Sky asked as she let out a yawn. Rowan nodded her head, her eyes shut."You should probably head off for the night then, I'll see you tomorrow night" Sky laughed out as she stood up, waiting for Rowan to open her eyes to wave goodbye before she walked away, not giving Rowan the chance to protest her leaving.Rude. Now she was all alone. Deciding it was probably best to head back, Rowan sighed, finding the energy to sit back up and then leave.The walk back should have been simple. Should of. Rowan's luck hasn't been the best recently and now it's just gotten worse.&nbs

    Leo was pacing holes in the sand, it was giving Rowan a headache. Just watching him go back and forth- back and forth. It was pretty tiring. However, it seemed it wasn't just her he was annoying."Leo! Chill!" Miles yelled, grabbing Leo's shoulders and preventing him from pacing any more."Sorry guys" Leo replied sheepishly, realizing what he was doing but still being a nervous wreck.Rowan narrowed her eyes as she watched him bring his hand to his mouth and subconsciously start biting his nails. It was a rather unhealthy habit of his. Just before she could say something, someone else interrupted."Hey." Toby mumbled as he came up behind the three of them.Rowan was so fo

    Toby had been thinking about it non-stop but had finally come to a decision.He had to tell Caleb.After he had come back with Marcel it was meant to be a fun and happy time explaining to the others what they had done. It was supposed to be something good he could have fun with. It wasn't meant to be a time where he could hardly talk to anyone because of how guilty he felt.Samuel was still treating him like a fragile child around the Leo situation and it killed him to know that Sam was doing that forhissake when he couldn't even settle Sam's mind. It was a mess- he was a mess.So here he was, knocking on Caleb's door at about 11pm at night."Toby?" C

    The room was tense. No one dared to say anything or make a move. Toby knew that Caleb had begun to feel guilty on how it all went down but it was too late to change the past now."I'm sorry" Caleb was the first to speak up. It didn't help ease any of the tension in fact it almost made it worse and Toby couldn't help but cringe back into his chair and as he watched Leo's nostrils flare, a clear sign he was angry- no pissed off."What the fuck is wrong with you all! I stayed away to try and protect you!" Leo yelled out and Toby watched as Rowan leant forward, grabbing his arm to hold him back but also to calm him down at the same time. It worked and Toby wished he was the one there instead."I know you thought what you did was right and you may have had some...outside persuasion- but you

    "Rowan!" A frantic Leo yelled while running into the room she was staying in. He was quick to wake her up. He was out of breath and his eyes darted around the room signalling he was nervous."What happened?" she went into instant protector mode. Her eyes scanned his body, making sure he wasn't injured in any way. By the look of him, externally he seemed completely fine. The next thought in her head was Miles but as she glanced over to the bed he had been staying in she was happy to see him groggily sat up. Probably after just waking up."Jon's here" Was all Leo said before grabbing her arm and dragging her all the way to the front gate. Rowan had to make sure Miles was followed, she didn't really want either of them anywhere near Jon but she didn't want to leave them alone and vulnerable either. A double edged sword. Even though she did

    “I’m sorry Ro! I didn’t mean too!” Leo apologised once again as Rowan just turned away from him. Giving him the silent treatment. She wasn’t actually annoyed at him for interrupting her and Sky, she just found it funny annoying him like this. “What happened?” Marcel asked, coming up from behind them. Both Rowan and Leo immediately straightened up and exchanged a glance. “Nothing” they simultaneously said before walking further into the town hall. They had all agreed to meet there last night after Leo and Rowan had come back from the beach. Leo wanted to talk about Miles, something Toby had brought up to him about Miles being a bit childish. Rowan was a little harsh and told Leo that Toby needed to mind his own business but luckily it didn’t seem to affect Leo too much as he just carried on feeling bad for interrupting her and Sky. She was glad that was
