Chapter 8

Cato POV

And just that easily my heart broke into even smaller pieces than last time, because I knew that I wasn't able to get her back, I had lost her.

After she left Enobaria walked me in her office, I had to confess that I still loved Clove and Enobaria looked at me with shame as I was talking, I tried to ask her about the past years and about the little boy, but she refused to tell me something; she said that only Clove could tell me those things and that I should let time decide what will happen with us. So that night I decided that I would let her go, I wrote a letter for her even if I didn´t had the courage to give it to her it still helped me to let out my feelings.

You left me here four years ago, without an explanation, you took the light away, you found another life Clove, but you also buried mine. Even when you weren't here I was still breathing that love, you broke me in pieces and you erased my kisses and now it hurts to see that someone else has your heart, I used to dream about hugging you again but I woke up and you were gone, and now that you are back it's hard to accept that I'm part of your past, but still I want you to know that you'll always be the love of my life, I wanted a life with you, but I'm going to let you be happy even if it kills me inside, after all if you are happy I'm happy right?

I love you forever Clovely.

It had been 3 weeks since that day, I saw her every day at the training center and even though I was trying my best it still hurts to see her and not being able to hug her, kiss her or at least talk to her. She on the other hand seemed to be avoiding me, even when we'll meet each other at lunch time or in the hallways she avoids to look at me in the eyes.

Today it's Monday and I have class with the boys from 13 to 15 years old, they are really excited because I will finally teach them how to use a sword in a combat but while we were in class I heard a lot of noise coming out of one classroom, the one of the 6 years old so I went over there to see what was happening, the room was a chaotic it seemed like a tornado has gotten in there but there was a little brunette girl crying in the corner.

-"Hello again Claire"- I kneeled beside her to see why she was crying but it scared me to see blood running down her cheek- "What happened to you? does it hurt a lot? From where is the blood coming out?

- "It hurts, here"- she was still sobbing and her blue eyes were watery but she touched her forehead and I saw that she had a large cut from above her eyebrow.

I quickly lifted her in my arms to go to the hospital that was inside the center, in our way there we found Enobaria;

-Claire! Oh what happened? Cato is she okay? - she looked really concerned; I had no idea why would she know the little girl until Claire called her auntie.

We walked into the ER and a nurse placed her in a hospital bed while the doctor started checking the wound, I felt oppression in my chest as I saw her there, so tinny and scared, she clearly reminded me of Clove when she used to wake up really scared by a nightmare; actually Claire looked a lot like her except by her blue eyes…

-Claire, I'm going to ask you a few questions okay princess? - the doctor nicely said to her- What is your full name and your age?

-Claire Isabelle I'm 3 years old I will be turning 4 in April- she answered quickly

- Okay sweetie and what is you mommy's name? - the doctor asked again while he was doing the stitches.

And before she was able to answer I heard a voice, her voice asking to a nurse where Claire was and then she entered to the room with a worried look on her face, but when she turned and looked at me she was also scared I could tell by the way her eyes widened from me to Claire.
