Any who next chapter here we come!
Deryn and Alek head up to the top of the deep trench, and sat side by side. Waiting for something to happen.
Alek saw Deryn shiver from the cold, he tilted his head " are you cold, Dylan?" He asked "Y-yes. It's B-barking freezing!" she shiver more. She could feel the coldness all over her body Alek took off his jacket, and scooted closer to her. " Here." She looked down at the jacket, then him.
"B-but won't you b-be f-freezing t-too?" She questioned Alek looked at her " i'll be fine, here."
She looked at him and without hesitation, she took the jacket and wrapped it around her cold body.
Alek. He had so much kindness in his royal heart. That did it. " Alek?" Deryn started " Yes?" " i need to tell you something, a secret." Alek innocent eyes, made her want to throw her arms around and give him a kiss. She tried not to look at them. " What is it?"
Deryn look down, feeling guilty, lying to Alek's face. She tried so hard to say her secret Istanbul, but with Lilit around, it would be too complicated, and then she will be kicked out of what she , and him.
" I-i...um..." she looked down at her boots. then continued "well it's hard to say..um..uh" She stuttered. Come on Deryn! Think, how can you say this! she thought,making her head hurt.
" well, what is it?"
" okay. Um.. You know when Lilit..um uh." alek interupted her thoughts when she looked at him " wait let me guess." Alek had a stupid smirk on his face.
"Uh.. okay." Deryn said. Please guess wrong.
Alek looked ahead, and chuckled. He turned back to her, " this is just the stupidest guess ever, but are you a girl?"
Deryn felt her whole face went pale. He guessed right.
Alek bursted out laughing.
" oh, God's wounds! that would be hilaroius! Ha, you a girl!"
he guessed right? Barking spiders.. he doesn't need to know now. Deryn thought.
So she joined in laughing. Pretending. that was the word. " that would be so absurd." Alek looked at her.
" Aye, that would be... awkward." " wait, are you a girl?" Alek questioned "no." Deryn lied. " good, for a second there i thought you serious." " of course not! that's stupid." "Aye, girls don't belong in wartime." Alek said quietly. Yes they was half of what Alek would can do all those things better than Newkirk, even Alek. But she didn't give a squick about it now. Not in front of Alek, of course.
What did you think? You really thought, i was going to write that she tells her secret. Nope, not yet. But i will happen.
I planned this out, so hope you like it!
