Authors Note: I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who reads this story and reviews/follows/favourites it, it means the world to me! Also, I can confirm for you that I'm looking at about 20 chapters or so for this story but no worries! Because as soon as this one is finished, it will go straight into another story so look at this story as a rewrite of Season 2 so when this is done, it will go into Season 3, if you understand? I'm terrible at explaining .
Well, last chapter was called Deep Within, it was named this because the chapter was explaining Rhydian's deeper feelings so the deeper feelings within him and why he did what he did. So, I hope you like this chapter!
Enjoy xox
Chapter Seven ~ Pale ~ Third Person POV:
"Um.. I'll see you guys in the lounge..." Shannon stuttered awkwardly and smiled before closing the door. Maddy had her head buried in her sleeping bag whilst Rhydian banged his head back against the cupboard, confused about Maddy's reaction. Why was she acting like this when Shannon saw them if she was going to allow him to kiss her? It didn't add up.
"Maddy what's wrong?" Rhydian finally managed to choke out.
Maddy lifted her head and shook her head, she made a disgusted grunt and stood up, she grabbed her sleeping bag and ran out of the kitchen, slamming the door behind her.
She left Rhydian in the kitchen feeling totally confused and hurt. Rhydian growled, allowing his anger to seep through, but he quickly covered it up and picked up his sleeping bag from the floor, he retrieved the mugs and put them into the sink before leaving the kitchen to the lounge. When he walked into the front room, he didn't look once at Maddy and she didn't look at him, they didn't speak a word to each other.
"Right well, I've got to go home because I'm mean't to be meeting up with my dad..." Tom finally said and Shannon walked with him to the door. Maddy and Rhydian followed together, still without speaking to one another.
"Bye Tom, have a nice day", Maddy called and she hugged her friend before he stepped out of the door.
"Bye Tom, thanks for coming over" Shannon smiled and waved as he lugged his stuff down the path and out of the gate.
"Yeah bye mate!", Rhydian called out and put of a smile of appreciation. Tom nodded and waved before disappearing round the corner of the street.
Shannon turned around and shut the door, "So what you two want to do?"
Maddy and Rhydian looked at each other and then back at Shannon. "Actually Shan, we need to get back to mine because if Rhydian's back; my parents need to see him..." Maddy spoke up and then made a sneaky look at Rhydian to see what he was doing and he nodded but he looked scared. Maddy felt sorry for him then.
Shannon nodded and waited by the door until Maddy and Rhydian had retrieved their bags. "I'll see you Monday then at school?" Shannon asked as she opened the front door for the second time that morning.
Maddy nodded and hugged Shannon, "Bye Shan, thanks for having us over, I had a great time!" She called as her and Rhydian left Shannon Kelly's house and began their walk home...
Maddy and Rhydian walked to Maddy's house in complete silence, as they came into Maddy's street, Rhydian spoke up. "Maddy, what are you going to say to your mum and dad?"
Maddy shrugged, "Don't really have a plan to be honest.."
Rhydian frowned, "So your just going to walk me in like nothing happened?"
Maddy nodded and pouted, "Pretty much, yeah"
Rhydian blew out his cheeks, "Right then... here it goes...", he said as they walked towards the door. Maddy stopped in front of him and put up her hand, signalling him to stop.
"Wait until I call you in" She ordered and Rhydian nodded, pulling his bag further onto his back.
Maddy went inside the house to see Emma and Dan sitting at the table, eating scrambled egg, bacon and sausages for breakfast. Mrs Smith smiled as she saw her daughter and Maddy didn't smile back, instead she took a deep breath. Here it goes... She thought.
"Mam, Dad I have something to tell you and show you..." She stood up proud as her mother and father turned their attention to Maddy as the door opened and Rhydian entered with his head hung low.
Emma and Dan gasped as he walked in and they stood up abruptly, "What in Heaven and Earth are you doing back here?!" Emma said, her voice loud as she spat at Rhydian. Dan moved towards his wife and glared at the boy.
"I.. I", He stuttered in fear and looked to Maddy for help.
Maddy looked back at him, "Show them what you showed me!"
Rhydian hesitated and dove into his pockets, as Maddy ran upstairs, within seconds she was back down the stairs and at Rhydian's side again. "Look! Rhydian came back because he found a single white rose, it's identical to the one I found, he was using Eolas to make sure I was alright and when he tuned out, this rose appeared in front of him! It can't be a coincidence..." Maddy rushed and then gasped for breath.
"Mr and Mrs Smith please, you've helped me before, I hated it in the wild, I missed being here..." Rhydian pleaded as he handed Maddy his rose who handed them to her mam.
"Mam please..." Maddy put on her best puppy eyes but Emma shook her head.
"No. You don't belong here Rhydian, you've caused to much trouble, your Wild now, you don't belong here." She said sternly.
Rhydian nodded and turned to the door, he ran out of it, he stormed down the street towards the forest.
Maddy snarled at her parents and shook her head, "Mam! Why did you say that for?!" She shouted.
"Because of what he did to you Maddy!" Emma shouted back.
Maddy scoffed, "And now he's leaving what will happen again huh?!" She shouted back.
"Uh Maddy don't talk to your mother like that!" Dan stepped in.
Maddy turned her back on them towards the door. "Why should I when she just spoke to Rhydian like he didn't matter? He's had a terrible life and you know it, when he was here, he had a family, friends, a school! How can you be so cruel!" Maddy screamed at them.
Emma and Daniel shook their heads and looked at each other, they whispered something and then Emma spoke again. "Look Mads I'm sorry, where are you going?" She asked as Maddy opened the door, without turning back Maddy shouted back.
"To bring Rhydian back!"
I'm so sorry everyone! I'm going out to a party so I can't write as much as I normally do but I'll make it up to you all and write more for the next chapter!
