“Maybe I haven’t showered for days,” I patronise Allie.
“Wait, why aren’t you talking?” Ahren asks sharply, now looking at Heaven, clearly just noticing.
I comb my fingers through my white hair. Well, now this is going to get more fun. Heaven crosses her arms before she realises she needs a hand to write.Because it was the price to get us here and back safely.
“What?” Ahren asks.
I groan, dropping to the ground and putting my weapon down beside me while resting my head on my arms.
We are going to be here a while; I might as well get some rest.
It’s a whilelater, and we’re planning on following the map Heaven is working on with the use of Ahren’s blood. He’s clearly upset, even if he is trying to hide it. When she explained it to him, he was quiet for a while before he gave her a hug and kiss, thanking her ever so quietly, but we all have super hearing, not sure what he was whispering for.
She’s strong, though, I’ll give her that. I heard her dumb boyfriend’s remarks, not sure why the fuck she thinks he’s good enough for her or why she’s staying. I know plenty of boys who are into her. She could have her pick, and there’s plenty of her type: stuck-up, rich assholes. But she’s a weird one, and I have no clue what goes on in her mind.
She hasn’t at all put on the ‘poor me’ act in all of this, although she has damn well lost a lot. Even now, she’s working with full concentration as we all wait for her to complete it. Jayce is beside her as they discuss the map.
See, I told ya he’s into this.
I glance over at Renji, who is sitting quietly, gazing at the sky, and then at Carter, who has been a bit quiet since he learned that three of us have the favour of the gods. Is he jealous?
It looks like there are separate lands. If we follow the path, we should be able to come across something or someone who can help guide us. Once you challenge him, he will have no choice but toaccept. A duel cannot be declined. So, all we need to do is find a way to get that message to Helios,Heaven writes. There’s a pout on her face as she concentrates. She’s got a round face, with cheeks you just want to pull. I smirk. I should try it one of these days.
Ahren throws something at my head, and I turn, glaring at him.
“I’m watching you.”
I scoff. Does he think I’m checking Blondie out? I fucking ain’t. “Can’t I listen in on the plan?” I complain.
“No.” He almost pouts.
“Wanker,” I mutter, making Ares snicker.
Blondie didn’t listen to him when he told her to conjure up some clothes, and he’s still salty.
“Right, we rest here until it’s light again, and then we move,” Jayce commands, standing up.
We had walked for a few hours but stopped to make a proper plan, and we had found a stream nearby.
“Sounds like a plan.” Renji yawns.
So, are we just sleeping out in the open?Heaven writes.
“Na, Blondie, we’re going to go knock on some immortal’s door and ask for four-poster beds.”
I can’t sleep on the ground. I will just makemyself a bed.
We all stare at her incredulously, but Allie is nodding. “Make me one, too. I am not sleeping on the ground.”
“Divas…” Carter remarks. “I didn’t think you’d come out with that one, Alessandra.”
“Well, the ground is filthy,” Allie points out.
“Na, it ain’t,” I disagree.
“Do what you want, just sleep, and let me fucking sleep,” Ares growls, turning his back on them.
Heaven’s already at work, chanting a spell, and I see a thick pad beginning to form, although it’s definitely not a bed. I shake my head and close my eyes as she keeps working her magic, and the thing takes form.
