When Anazar grabs my chin as he makes me look to him. I slightly gasp as Anazar leans into my face he says "Elliane." With my eyes wide open and Anazar holding my chin tightly. He leans more in as he says "I miss you so much." I push Anazar's hand as I look away I respond "anyways." Anazar smirks which I could feel while I was looking at the roses. I glance to Liam as Canlyn tightly held his arm. I quickly look down as I sigh. Anazar asks "they look cute together huh?" I clenched my fist as a branch grows out my bracelet. As I pull off the branch off the bracelet it starts to get thicker and it grows longer. The branch starts to look like a staff like cane, Anazar stood as he held out his hand he states "I can help you know?" I glare at Anazar as I hooks Liam's and Canlyn basket on the top of my staff. I stand and I lean on the staff which was in my left hand, with my basket in my right hand I turn as I state "I don't want you're help Anazar." Anazar walks up beside me with his basket in his left hand. Anazar says "you may need it one day Elliane." I laugh as I respond "funny."
When Anazar kicks my staff and my eyes widen as I fall back. Instantly I feel Anazar's arm go across my back. As Anazar pulls me towards his chest he looks me in my eyes. I say "not funny let me go." Anazar smirks as he replies "no." My eyes widen as I push Anazar back. Anazar kept me close by pushing me into his chest. I push Anazar back as my hands touched his chest he only held me tighter. I finally put my left hand on Anazar's face as I push it back. Anazar gasps as his face gets squished. Anazar says "Elliane please get you're hand off my face I'm only trying to help you." I respond "I don't want you're,-" I'm interuped by Anazar putting his hand on my mouth as his eyes widen. I try to turn my head when I hear Walckon say "Elliane?" My eyes widen as Anazar was glaring at me.
Anazar suddenly let go and pulls himself back as he just held my back. Walckon walks around and he smiles as he says "hey Nile said you were here." I smile and Anazar tried to hold me up as he kneels to grab my staff. Walckon quickly walks to me as he puts out his left arm. I grab on to Walckon's arm as I lean away from Anazar. As Anazar picked up my staff the baskets fall off I sigh and Anazar says "no I got them you can start walking, here take my basket." Anazar held out his basket and I respond "okay." I grab the basket and Walckon says "so I hear you got a shop now." I smile as I respond "yes I do."
As Walckon starts to lead me to the marketplace he states "I can't wait to see you there working beside Nile." I smile more as I respond "me to." Walckon asks "you live with Nile right?" I respond "yes I do." Walckon says "that's great then I hope it goes well." I smile more as I look to the sky I think "me to." Walckon says "Elliane I don't like that elf you were with." I laugh as I reply "well then." Walckon says "I apologize, he just seems like he is hiding something." I respond "yeah Nile don't like him either." Walckon adds jokingly "Nile knows what I mean then." I couldn't help but laugh as I say "yeah, he is something." Walckon states "I'm glad you see it then I would hate for you to be blinded." I smile as I respond "no, I would never." We enter the marketplace and my smile fades as I see Liam at my shop with Canlyn still tightly holding his arm as she also pushes her large breasts against his arm.
I look down and Walckon sighs and he states "it seems like so much has changed." I ask "really?" Walckon responds "yeah it's crazy but I'm so glad it worked out. Nile promised to save me and when he took you in it was set in stone. I'm starting to think it was supposed to happen this way." My eyes widen as I look to Walckon he questions "is that fate or destiny? I'll be honest I don't care I'm just glad I'm still alive and I can move." I smile as I respond "I'm not sure either but I can say I wouldn't change anything." Walckon smile fades as he replies "I would." I look to Walckon to see him looking at something. As I turn I look ,at what's before Walckon, to see Nile in his shop working on medicine. I smile and Walckon asks "so have you thought of a name for you're shop?" I respond "no actually I'm not sure." Walckon replies "well I'm sure you will have fun deciding that."
As we stop before my shop Canlyn stopped laughing as she says "I just love you, Liam you're adorable." Liam was looking down and I hold onto Walckon as I hop to my table. I sit on my table as Canlyn pushes Liam back she still kept hold of his arm tightly and they turn to me. Canlyn asks "are you going to decorate you're shop?" I smile as I respond "I have some ideas." Liam asks "like what?"
As they all stare at me I smile as I say "okay I guess I'm doing this now." I place a basket in the middle of the table then I place my hand on each corner of the table one at a time. Instantly branches grew out straight up as it bends and goes backwards it connects at the top like a square. As the branches make a arch over me I think "looks plain." I raised both my arms and smile as vines start growing around the branches and it even starts growing across over me. I smile as I put my arms down, moss and vines fall over the arch. Walckon gasps and Liam's eyes widen. Canlyn quickly says "whoa that's cool." Liam adds "that's amazing!" I smile and Walckon replies "it is very amazing Elliane." I smile more as I look down I respond "thank you." Walckon replies "of course but I shall go I need to do something." As Walckon turns Canlyn states "oh my goodness this is really impressive." Liam adds "you should have seen the umbrella Elliane made." Canlyn asks "what? Where is it?" I smile more as I reply "it's at my cottage."
When Anazar asks "what is?" As I look to Anazar to see him holding the basket's. Canlyn asks "what happened to you?" Anazar replies "I dropped the baskets." Anazar steps towards me and I grab the baskets before he could fully holds out the baskets. Anazar's eyes widen as I place the basket beside me. Canlyn clears her throat, Anazar suddenly steps closer and he puts his waist in-between my legs as he grabs my thighs. My eyes widen as I look up to Anazar. Anazar smiles and Canlyn states "I swear you to are just adorable, I see why you we standing up for him Elliane, I apologize." I reply "what?" Anazar asks "is that so Elliane?" I gasp and respond "what no!" I look to Canlyn to see her smiling as Liam was looking down. I say "we aren't toge,-" when Anazar interpreted me by saying "not yet at least." Anazar pushes his finger onto his lips as he whisperers "it's a secret." Canlyn gasps as she says "aw I love forbidden love." My eyes widen as I respond "No! No, No. I'm not with Anazar." Canlyn replies "mhmm sure and I'm so not trying to get Liam to fuck me." My eyes widen as I look to Liam to see his face red as he pulls his arm. Canlyn gasps as she adds "ah Liam I hope I didn't scare you come on let's chat over here." Canlyn pulls Liam back as bit but he suddenly pulls his arm away and he turns walking off. Canlyn's eyes widen as she she smiles she asks "how about a double date?" Anazar quickly responds "Yes!" I shout "No!" Anazar looks to me as he says "oh come on Elliane she can know." I reply "there's nothing to know Anazar because I'm not with you."
I push Anazar back but he grips my thighs as suddenly Qarizan runs up as she says "there you are." Canlyn replies "oh hey, what's up?" Qarizan asks "well we are having a bonfire, would you guys like to join us?" Canlyn gasps as she responds"yes right Elliane?" I smile as I look down I respond "sure how about I meet you there." Canlyn replies "nope you seem to forget or get lost." Anazar responds "don't worry I'll take her." Qarizan pulls on Canlyn as she says "come on."
As Canlyn leaves following Qarizan I suddenly punch Anazar in his stomach. Anazar held his stomach as he leans into my face. I ask "what are you doing?" Anazar smiles and he responds "we were technically together once." I reply "we were." Anazar smirks more as he suddenly picks me up off the table in both arms. I gasps as I say "let me go Anazar." Anazar starts walking as he replies "it would be nice to hang out with friends Elliane, you did just make some. I know you you're trying to push them away." My eyes widen as I shout "no I won't hang out with fake friends!" Anazar stops walking as he looks me in the eye. My breathing picks up as I look down. Anazar responds "Elliane I've already basically kidnapped you, so what do you want to do? Hang out with friends or go to my place?" My eyes widen as I look up to Anazar I ask "excuse me?" Anazar explains "I can still make you that dinner, we can talk things out." I respond "no Anazar I don't want to talk things out." Anazar smirks and he asks "could you stop me from taking you to my house?" I respond "I can scream." Anazar smirks more and he says "I see Nile wrapped you're foot as to where if you step on it, it will fall apart, so would you really try to walk on it?" I state "I would step on it if it was fully broken still if it meant to get away from you!" Anazar's eyes widen and he responds "well then, do it?" I clenched my fist as I look down. Anazar says "thought so, now pick Elliane." I sigh as I softly say "bonfire." Anazar starts walking as he asks "see is that so hard?" I respond "watching everyone be fake with me? Yes." Anazar replies "watch it Elliane they'll hear you." As the bonfire falls into view I see four logs around a fire pit. With Sult, Qarizan and Canlyn. Sult and Qarizan are dancing with two boys I've seen before but I know they normally avoid me.
When Liam says "Anazar!" My eyes widen and I look back to see Liam breathing heavily. Anazar sighs as he says "and there's lover boy." I respond "leave him alone Anazar." Anazar turns as he responds "yes Liam?" Liam walks up as he asks "are you okay Elliane?" I sigh and respond "yeah." Anazar adds "we are just gonna hang out here why don't you join us?" My eyes widen and I look to Anazar. Liam replies "uh okay." Anazar turns and Liam walks beside us. Liam asks "are you sure you're okay Elliane? It looked like you didn't want to go." I respond "yeah but it's a bonfire I should right?" Liam smiles as he replies "yeah."
When Canlyn screams "ahhh you guys came!" Canlyn runs up as she instantly grabs onto Liam. Liam steps back slightly as Canlyn continues "come meet everyone." Canlyn pulls Liam in as Anazar steps towards the log he sets me down. I fix my dress and Anazar plops next to me. My eyes widen as Canlyn says "hey guys this is Liam and Elliane." As I look forward Sult and Qarizan both say "well this is,-" Qarizan laughs as she says "you can go first." Sult says "okay this is Lilke." Lilke was standing behind Sult and he had brown hair and blue eyes. Lilke waves and Qarizan adds "and this is Hectak." Hectak had white hair and sliver eyes. Hectak asks "hello, Elliane right?" I respond "hi yes I'm Elliane." Lilke asks "why is she here?" Sult pushes Lilke and he says "what?" Canlyn replies "Elliane is welcome here." Hectak adds "yeah man she cured my father's blindness." Lilke asks "what?" My eyes widen as I ask "you're Hlem's son?" Hectak responds "yes I am, also thank you Elliane." I smile and reply "no don't thank me I'm just trying to keep everyone safe." Lilke says "sorry Elliane, I just thought because well, Sult said to stay away from you." Sult gasps as she says "I never said that." Canlyn replies "that doesn't matter anymore right." I look down and Sult says "I have drinks here." Sult holds out drinks as Anazar stood he grabs them. Canlyn even passes a drink to Liam. As Anazar sits beside me he taps the glass bottle against my knee. I grab the bottle as I look inside it. The drink not only looked disgusting, with it's brown color, it also had a awful smell. Anazar laughs as he says "don't drink so fast Elliane." I smile as I respond "wouldn't dare." As Sult and Qarizan start dancing again Canlyn gasps as she dance's beside Qarizan. As I slightly turn I pour out the drink as I softly say "sorry grass." Liam clears his throat and I look up to see him smiling. Liam puts his drink behind him as he turns it upside down. The drink pours out and I smile as Liam laughs. Liam says "I totally get it." I respond "I know it's like,-" when Canlyn turns as she grabs Liam she says "dance with me Liam." Liam's eyes widen as Canlyn starts to grind on Liam's front side. Liam gasps as he drops the glass bottle. I quickly look down as I look inside the empty bottle in my hand.
As I see a small drop left in the bottle I swirl it around just watching the liquor move. Anazar says "Elliane?" I look to Anazar and he smiles as he asks "can we dance?" My eyes widen and I ask "how much have you drank?" Anazar sets his empty bottle down as he states "you know one bottle does nothing to me Elliane." I look down as I respond "yeah I know." Anazar sighs as he says "I wish there was music playing because dancing with you sounds amazing." I clenched my fist as I ask "what are you doing Anazar?" Anazar responds "I think I'm still in love with you, no I know I am." Anazar grabs my chin as he makes me look at him. My eyes widen as I respond "enough with that Anazar."
Anazar's eyes widen and he replies "alright just look at me." I turn my head but Anazar grabs my chin making me look to him. I gasp as I notice Anazar looking behind me. I respond "Anazar stop it." Anazar looks me in the eye as he replies "no just, uh tell me about you're shop!" My eyebrow raised and I turn to see Canlyn shoving her tounge into Liam's mouth as his eyes were wide open. My eyes widen as I drop the glass bottle I quickly look down.
As suddenly a long branch grew out the log. Instantly I grab it and snap it off the log as I stand. Using the branch I turn walking away.
As my thoughts collide "what am I doing here? Why did I come here? How could I be so stup,-" my thoughts all come to a halt when Anazar stood infront of me. Anazar says "I tried Elliane I'm sorry." I clenched my fist and walk around Anazar. Anazar follows as he continues "look Elliane any guy would be lucky to have you alright Liam is crazy."
I snap "then why did you do what you did?"
Anazar's eyes widen and he says "what?"
I ask "if any guy would be lucky then why did you,-"
I stop midsentence as I stop walking.
Anazar softly grabs my arm as he asks "do you want to meet my sister? Is that what it's gonna take?"
My eyes widen and I say "what?" Anazar replies "I told you I could explain at dinner at my house." As I look to Anazar I clenched my fist and I state "Nile is literally a doctor he knows you don't have a sister." Anazar sighs as he adds "I'm her little brother." My eyes widen and Anazar says "I don't like people to know alright."
My eyes slightly close and I say "fin,-" when Canlyn jumps beside us as she shouts "sleepover!" My eyes widen as I respond "what?" Sult and Qarizan pop up from behind as Sult explains "I'm having a sleepover at my shop." Anazar smiles as he says "have fun let's chat tomorrow my sugarplum." Canlyn says "aww," as she pulls me. As I follow I quickly reply "I shouldn't really I have to check on Nile." Qarizan responds "ah boo come on." Sult responds "yeah we can have a bath then go to my room which is amazing." Canlyn says "it is amazing." As we enter the marketplace from the side I glance to Nile's shop to see him at the curtain talking with Walckon. As Nile laughs Walckon lightly punches Nile's arm. I couldn't help but smile as suddenly Walckon sees me as he waves. As Nile looks to me I smile and I shrug my shoulders. Nile smiles as he waves.
When Canlyn pulls my arm as she says "ah please come Elliane." As I look to Canlyn Qarizan grabs my hand and she adds "it will be fun come on." I smile as I respond "alright." As Sult leads the way she says "oh I can also throw our clothes in the wash." Canlyn replies "that's so sweet of you." As we exit the marketplace Qarizan asks "Elliane how do you make stuff grow?" I respond "well it just happens or sometimes I make it happen." Qarizan asks "does it happen because of the way you're feeling?" I reply "sometimes why do you ask?" Qarizan smiles as she says "just making conversation." Sult suddenly says "alright come on girls," as she opens the door. As Qarizan helps me step inside I let out a breath as I say "thanks." Sult says "Qarizan can you help Elliane to the bath I'm going to get the spare clothes." Canlyn adds "I'll help you Sult." As Sult and Canlyn walk down the other hall I follow Qarizan.
Qarizan asks "have you been here before?" I respond "yes I have." Qarizan says "awesome then you know how the bath looks." I reply "it does look beautiful." As Qarizan softly let's me go she opens the door for me. I step into the small room, suddenly Qarizan sighs as I hear the door shut. My eyes widen as I turn Qarizan says "alright I'll shut my eyes if you want you can just hold on to me." I respond "oh no that's not necessary." Qarizan asks "are you sure?" I respond "yes." Qarizan says "alright then." Qarizan steps out and I think "this is new. What exactly do girls talk about at a sleepover? Wait what do girls do?"
I sigh as I undress. With only a towel on I use the branch I made as I walk into the bathroom. The stone felt cold and I quickly walk around the wall. As I see the bath in front of me I slow down due to the stone being wet. I leave my branch against the wall as I slowly step forward. I let out a breath and I look down to my wrapped leg. I slowly step down fully on my left leg as the gauze became loose the wood pieces fall out. As I lyft my foot the gauze fully rolls off. I sigh as I slowly sit down and I put my legs into the water. I drop the towel before slipping into the water fully.
Many soap bubbles later.
I raise the cup over my head as water falls down my hair I let out a breath. I push my hair back as I think "okay I got this. Just think girl things." I clenched my fist as I turn I grab onto the stones. When...
