Hi ppl! So, first fanfic, be kind.
Also, I write from my phone, so forgive any grammatical errors. The keyboard is TINY. I'll correct them whenever I revise, or you could leave a note in the reviews for an early revision. Lastly, I LOVE REVIEWS!!! They put me in a good mood, which in turn spurs on my writing. So... REVIEW!!! IT'S FREE! On with the story!
DISCLAIMER : RED QUEEN belongs to Victoria Aveyard, only the plot in this fic belongs to me.
This is a one time announcement. I won't put it at the start of every chapter.
...
We are going to let them destroy each other.
I lie in bed in the room I share with Farley and Clara, mulling the same thought over and over. In a way, it makes perfect sense. Of course the Scarlet Guard didnt come this far to simply put a Silver prince back on the throne. I can't even be mad at Davidson. He'd be stupid to sacrifice the cause for a teenage romance - especially when the prince himself chose a piece of headgear and a glorified chair over me. Still...
Three raps on the door break my musing. I sigh. "It's open," I call. The door creaks open, and Kilorn strolls in.
He looks me up and down, probably noting my mussed hair and crumpled shirt, and then says,"Well,I'd say 'told you so', but you seem to manage being perfectly miserable by yourself,".
"Don't," I warn. It physically hurts to think about Cal - I take in a sharp breath. The wound's still raw, the scars still fresh from that day. I probably wince, considering the way Kilorn flinches. He recovers quickly though, coming to plop down beside me. We sit in comfortable silence, until he speaks. ''My words from that day still stand you know,". He flinches when I send him an incredulous look.
"I'm not pressuring you or- or anything," he hurries to explain. "You've known how I feel for a while now. A-and now that ..." he blushes and scrambles for something to say. I meanwhile, am silent, my mind going a dozen directions at the same time. Kilorn? Yes, he's the one I was supposed to be with in the first place, but now... I stop. But now... what, exactly? Cal's (I wince) off chasing twisted-metal flames, a fancy hat he'd going to marry Evangeline for. He dumped me for that,went back on his word for that. But Kilorn... he's always stuck by my side, even after I rejected him. Never let me down, even once.
I take a deep breath. "Sure," I say. Kilorn stops stuttering. "What?" he asks. I sigh - I seem to be doing that a lot lately. "Sure Kilorn," I start, "I'll date you.Who knows where it might lead us?" And it's actually worth seeing the smile spread across his face.
Anyone can betray anyone, but somehow I really doubt Kilorn will ever betray me. And maybe... maybe... maybe, that's enough.
