(A/N: Okay this is going to be the last update for a while. I know I hate
being one of those authors who writes a few chapters then leaves people
hanging for ages but some guy just quit at my workplace and I have to do
double-shift now to fill in for him till they get a replacement. I'll try
and make it as long as possible for you)
Dahlia - Sorry the last chappie was so short. It was supposed to be another of those short-sharp interlude kinda chapters like the prologue. This one is a little longer (I hope) and I will update with more chapters at my soonest convenience.
Gryphon had been thinking. Being the circle's genius he was wont to do that. But this wasn't technical thinking about computers and gadgets. It was deeper, more emotional thinking. Most of it concerned Galen and the fight they had that morning. But other thoughts were those of Infinity Skye. He smiled fondly as he thought of the fiery-tempered wild power. She'd been his only friend during the crisis about his heritage. She'd been strong. A supportive and kind girl. It had been that moment he'd fallen in love with Infinity.
They weren't soulmates though. He knew that, and so he refused to confess his feelings to her. He feared if he allowed himself to love her, her soulmate would show up. Probably staggeringly more handsome, more intelligent, kinder and with more maturity than him. She deserved that. She didn't deserve a childish shifter of shameful heritage that preferred squabbling with his half brother to doing anything meaningful for the circle.
He sighed and fingered a tattered photo he'd pulled from his pocket. It had been taken last summer for the yearbook at Infinity's school. He'd taken it when she'd turned her back on the book once. He smiled grimly remembering his insisted innocence that morning. "You know me Finny I never steal" he mimicked himself bitterly. 'Yeah right Gryphon' he thought. Galen was right. He was a lying cheating thief. 'The truth hurts' he thought with a sigh continuing to run his fingertips over the photo.
The photo of a smiling girl with hair like ivory and pale glacier green eyes. "She's too good for you" he told himself sadly as he put the photo back in his pocket.
(A/N: Oooh. That was shorter than expected. Sorry if you wanted a bit more. But these are pre-written paragraphs as I kinda wrote the story ages ago and I just kinda type it up on the pc every so often so it's hard to make it longer without delving into the next chapter or disturbing the story line. If I ever get another day off again I promise to update. Thanks to my reviewers please review this chapter. Hope to write again soon.)
