Hope, Hell, and Hate by Mouse Mosser (easy readers TXT) 📕

turned and ran grabbing my clothes off of a rock I put them on as I ran. I knew that Calcipher was right behind me but I did not stop. I had to run this feeling off. I ran into a clearing and because I was distracted I fell over the edge of a hill.
“ANAXIA!!” I heard Calcipher yell as I fell down the slope. At the bottom of the hill was the edge of a canyon and I was heading straight for it. I saw it before I hit it. I went over the edge and fell through the air. I had a strange sense that I would die here and now and I passed out cold at the thought of never again seeing Calcipher.

***
I saw her go over the edge of the canyon and my heart stopped. I kept running though if there was a chance that I could save her I had to try. I arrived at the side of the canyon in time to see her fall into the river and she was not moving she was out cold. I backed up and ran and dove off of the cliff. I hit the icy water and saw her sinking to the bottom of the river I swam as fast as the icy temperature would allow. I reached her and pulled her behind me. I reached the surface of the river and started to swim toward the shore. When I reached the shore I pulled her out of the river and layed her out on the sand she was not breathing and I chocked back a sob. She had to be ok or I would die. Then was that a shallow breath? It was she was alive I thought I would jump for joy but I did not I stayed by her side not moving, not breathing, begging her to be ok.

***
I was faintly aware of a feeling flowing over me in waves. What it was however I could not tell. Love? Care? Pain? Fear? It became clearer that it was all of these things. I let my feelings go and all of the fear flowed out over the person next to me.
“Oh!” he was crying “Love can you hear me?”
“cold” I tried to whisper but I could not tell if he could hear me.
I got my answer when a blaze went up next to me. My vision started to come back as my body warmed up. I saw the face that I always longed to see staring at me crying and I swore then and there to never make this perfect man cry ever again.
“I love you” I forced myself to say
“I will always love you” he replyed. And with that I let myself drift into sleep.

***
My heart skipped a beat when she told me she loved me. I waited until she was warm then I put my hands out and picked her up. I walked with her bouncing lightly in my arms to the path. I walked up and sat her down so that I could rest. She was lucky and so was I we were both alive and we had eachother. I picked her up once more and walked to the shore where we spent these nights. I set her down and made sure she was comfortable. Then I set a fire and went to hunt I had not eaten in two days. And with her comfortable and sleeping I left planning to return before she woke up.

***
I woke in the glade alone. I sat up and my head started to spin. I laid back and looked around. Calcipher was nowhere to be found. I closed my eyes and began to cry. Then I smelled blood. And my body tensed. Calcipher walked into the glade with a dead deer slung over his shoulder. At seeing me awake he dropped the deer and ran to my side. I looked up at him and started to cry again. He dropped to my side and scooped me into his arms and held me there and let me cry. And while I cried he cried and we sat and cried.


Chapter 4
Battle Home
I looked out of the forest and saw the lookouts on both posts and I knew that far to my left toward his base ran Calcipher I knew I would be seen and I was under orders to not return till tonight. So here I would sit until I could break the cover of the woods. I felt alone as I watched Calcipher reach his base and enter. Then he was gone and I was alone. I sat on a log and took out the bracelet that Calcipher had given me as a parting gift. I watched the charm swirl with the living fire taken from his body and it calmed my swirling nerves.

***
I entered the place that was my home and I knew that I was leaving my love alone with no protection or company. Then I pushed the irrational thought out of my head I was only going to get in her way if I tried to protect her. But I still left her with nothing to do and I felt bad. I walked down the hall and heard some “Welcome home sir”s and a few “Nice to see you captain”s I pushed open the doors to the war planning room and was horrified at the sight of the board on which was posted the kill on sight pictures and right in the middle at the front was a picture of Anaxia. I made it so that my reaction did not show on my face and walked further into the room to find my team. I found them huddled around a table strewn with maps, tables, and Graphs. I came up and no one noticed, I had trained them better than this. I could have killed them all already and Anaxia would have had no problem whatsoever. I crept up behind Sammi which probably was not my best plan but there you go I was love struck and slow.
“You are all pathetic” I screamed in her ear. Sammi swung around and nearly scratched me in the face.
“Sammi stand down” shouted Cade and Sammi stopped in her tracks and looked at her boyfriend with eyes that gleamed with love. She was beautiful in a way. But to me none could match my love. I pushed the thought out of my head. Imprint
