Chapter 51: Misunderstanding

Rio’s POV

I woke up. It’s dark. I looked around me. We’re inside the forest now. “Bearil…” I said when I saw him sleeping beside me. “Bearil.” I spoke and smiled bitterly as I touched his cheek. “I thought I told you not to see me again.” I said as my tears fell. I get up. “Ah.” I muttered when I noticed my glow died and I can’t move my wings. I sighed. “I thought this is the best time to escape – “

“Where do you think you’re going?” someone spoke.

I turned, and saw him looking at me. I stared at him. “Oril.” I said. I smiled sadly. “I’m leaving.” I said. “You tell the others I’m sorry.” I said then walked away. I heard the branches crunched. I closed my eyes. “Why are you following me?” I asked.

“I’m worried you might get in danger – “ Oril answered.

“I’m a fairy – “ I said.

“Not anymore.” He said.

I stopped. Then turned to him, my face serious. “What do you want?” I asked. He didn’t answer. “Do you want to get revenge? I couldn’t protect your princess – “ I said.
