Josie Hill Knight of Light and Dark ch 4
I sat up suddenly at the thought of being in love. I got really dizzy from sitting up that fast and fell back down on Fenrir's lap. I looked up at him and he looked down at me with a gentle smile. I felt my face flush a deep crimson red. I sat up quickly again, forcing myself to stay upright without falling back from the dizziness.
Fenrir stood up stretching, his shirt against him outlining his muscles. My face grew a darker red. I looked away quickly and stood up yawning, hoping he didn't see my blush.
I looked to the woods sadly knowing I'll have to go home alone. Fenrir saw me and how upset I was; he walked over resting his hand on my shoulder. I looked up at him and sighed telling him about the situation I was in. Being alone, unable to take care of myself. I was pretty pathetic. Fenrir looked at me for a moment then offered me a room at his home. I tried rejecting the offer, not wanting to be a burden, but after much insisting I took it.
Over the next few days I learned a lot about my new friends. After Null pulled the third prank on me he finally told me that he knows magic. Varinity is slightly frightening. I caught her killing an innocent creature and then I ran. When she found me I had a panic attack, when I calmed she told me how it was her job and she's something like death. Fenrir is a very strong and amazing fighter. I got to watch him practice fight against Null. It was fun. He told me that he would teach me how to fight and defend myself.
The one thing I learned that I didn't like was when I found out Fenrir was dating Var, and that Fenrir was too old for me. After I learned this I ran off to hide. It took the others the whole day to find me. I never answered them when they asked what was wrong.
The next day Fenrir took me out for training. He took me to this large stadium in the woods. He told me that the stadium had a spell on it so it will heal anyone who got hurt in it. Fenrir gave me a small, light sword to practice with. I wasn't very good. I kept falling when trying to dodge and I could never land a hit. Fenrir kept trying to encourage me, but I gave up for the day.
I was sore and tired. My legs felt like jelly. After a short walk my legs buckled and I collapsed. Fenrir picked me up on his back and started walking. After a bit of walking we went through a familiar clearing. I recognize this place. I told Fenrir which way to go and we soon came up to my house.
I was home. I got off his back and walked inside with him following. Everything was covered in dust. I sat on the couch stirring up enough dust that I sneezed. Fenrir sat next to me and I smiled. We sat for a while. Just resting and talking to each other. It was nice.
Eventually Fenrir got up and told me he had something for me. I looked up at him curiously as he looked through his bag. He pulled out a nice, olive green jacket and handed it to me. I got up and put it on. It was a bit large but it was nice and comfortable. The sleeves went well passed my hands and just hung there. He sighed. "I guess I can return it for a different size." I frowned and hugged the jacket to myself protectively. "No! I like it. It's nice and roomy and comfy." He chuckled at me and smiled. "Are you sure? It looks awfully big on you." I smiled and nodded. He smiled at me and told me I could keep it. I did a little cheer and grinned.
Eventually we went back to his home. He carried me on his back. When we got back he put me in my bed and left to go to bed. Every night it's the same thing. I fall asleep quickly. Soon enough the nightmares return. I scream and cry in my sleep. Fenrir hears me and runs into my room. He wakes me up hugging and comforting me until I fall back asleep in his arms. I sleep without any nightmares. Every morning I wake up; my head is in his lap with him leaning against a wall asleep. He looks so peaceful and calm, so protective. I wish I could be with him.
Every day was different. A new adventure waited. My speech improved greatly. I learned basic fighting techniques from Fenrir. He said I learn fast. Everything was so confusing though, I kept forgetting the things I learned.
Over the course of the next week Null was acting weird. He kept having these moments. He went insane and had murderous intent. I was terrified. It was as if he was possessed. Fenrir seemed to know something but didn't speak up. I was over cautious with Null. I didn't want to leave him and make him feel terrible but I didn't want to get hurt either. So whenever I was with Null I was with Fenrir.
Today Null, Fenrir, and I were all sitting around hanging out and talking; Null started having one of his moments. It was so sudden. I wasn't prepared when he pushed me down and started to punch me. I tried to push him off but he was abnormally strong. He was stronger than his usual self. He held me down and tore at my skin, his nails were like claws. He scratched my face. I started to feel the thick, warm blood trickle down my face. I cried out in pain. Fenrir tried to pull Null off of me but Null swung at him and knocked him down. Fenrir got right back up a bruise forming on his face where he got hit. I screamed. Null looked down at me his eyes glazed over as if he's under some sort of control or possession. He gave me one more swift punch to the face and I blacked out.
