"You! What are you doing here?" I screamed, covering myself.
"I came for you," He said that as if it made complete sense.
"I don't want to see you. Go away," Instead of going away as I had wished he would, he walked into the river, slowly trudging towards my showering self.
"I said go away!" I shouted, turning away from him as if that would help but he didn't heed my words.
"I know you did," He replied, a small smirk on that handsome face that I had grown to both love and hate.
"Then why aren't you going away?" I asked, now beginning to take slow steps back as he got closer.

"Too much of you is never enough for me. The more you show, the more I want," Now I felt flattered.
I turned around to look at him but it was too late, feeling a strong grip on my bare waist, I was heaved into the air as he carried me in his arms, pushing us both back against a rock as I gulped back a surprised scream.

"I heard you were very ill," Darius urgently started, getting comfortable on the chair opposite me. I was currently sat in the garden, around a garden table with a warm mug of honey water in my hands. 


Beatrice was against letting me go outside but I hated being cooped up inside a building for too long so we compromised, I would be in the garden but I wouldn't be allowed to run around, so here I am. 


"Not anymore," I answered, smiling at Killian as he too got comfortable on one of the chairs around the table. 


"Was it bad?" He asked, leaning forward and I shook my head. "I survived and that's all that should matter," Picking up the mug, I continued to sip at it.
