Will jerked upright in his bed, his hand already on his knife. He had thought he heard something outside his room that sounded like a scream. He heard the noise again, and realized that it was coming from Tessa's room. He jumped out of bed, knife in hand, and raced down that hallway. When he came to Tessa's room, he quietly opened the door and stepped inside.
The room was dark, but Will could make out the faint outline of Tessa's body. "Will…" She muttered, and then said something incomprehensible. He thought about walking over to stroke her cheek, but he knew that after what he said to her, she wouldn't want him to. So instead, he whispered "goodnight Tess," and left the room.
He reluctantly went back to his room, with thoughts of Tessa's lips on his, and the way she seemed to melt into him. He wished more then anything that he could take back what he said to her, but he knew that he couldn't. It would be better for her if she had nothing to do with him at all, and since he didn't think that he could stand just being friends, he decided to ignore her.
"Master Will?" The voice startled Will so much that he actually jumped. He whirled around to fine Sophie standing behind him. "Yes?" he asked, curious to see what it was Sophie wanted. "I just wanted to let you know that she still loves you," Said Sophie. "Who?" asked Will , even though he knew perfectly well who she was talking about. "Tessa. I don't know what you said to her that makes you think she hates you, but she doesn't." Will was about to get mad at Sophie but stopped himself. It wasn't her fault that he was a seriously messed up person. Instead he said "and what makes you think that, dear Sophie?" He searched her eyes for some sort of lie but he sensed that she was telling the truth. "I just know. I also know that you love her, no matter how hard you try to ignore her. Go talk to her, she's awake now." And with that, the servant spun on her heals and walked back down the hallway. Good lord, am I that easy to read? He thought.
I'm sorry that it's so short, im not good at making long chapters. Please review so I know how to make it better. Thanks
