Ship: Cinder and Wolf
(Starts at the end of the second book of the Lunar Chronicles, Scarlet. Kai likes Cinder but Cinder doesn't like Kai. Scarlet and Wolf are just friends. Cinder and Scarlet are friends.)
"Welcome aboard." said Cinder. She smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes. She was extremely tired and her patience was running low. Wolf was still lying on the floor, unconscious after getting shot with a dart. Scarlet had dragged him onto the hover craft and now they were escaping. After another life threatening situation, Cinder found herself yet again hating the fact that she was the lost princess.
Still, curiosity was subtly ever-present. What would it be like to rule a kingdom? What would it be like as true royalty? It was every little girl's dream to become a princess and Cinder maybe could have been grateful that it was coming true for her. But it didn't help that she was running for her life because of it. She might be dead before she gets the chance to overthrow Queen Levana.
Wolf stirred, then growled before abruptly opening his eyes. Cinder cast a quick glance at Wolf before widening her eyes in surprise. Such green eyes. . . Cinder thought. Realizing she had been staring too long, she quickly looked away. She was glad she couldn't blush.
Later that day, Cinder felt overwhelmed. They didn't have a plan and were frantically running for their lives. Cinder was feeling more desperate by the second when she felt a squeeze on her shoulder. She turned around to see Scarlet standing with sympathy in her warm brown eyes.
"Hey, it's ok. Why don't you get some rest. We'll take care of it." The red-head suggested.
Cinder gave a curt nod of gratitude before walking out the door of the cockpit and heading to her room. As she moved to the door, she cast a swift glance back, only to catch Wolf's vibrant emerald eyes following her.
