Taking it easy. Not done this in a long time usually I am one who is always busy. Yes, I was made to train by Zain but even when I didn’t have to, I was still with him, watching him or Aaron. I loved just spending time with them, watching Aaron do his drawings for example always fascinated me.Giving myself a bit more time to rest I try to lay back down in bed. I can now feel how deep the cuts must have been on my chest. Even now they feel on fire , a burning sensation under all the bandages.  With it hurting so much I try to get myself to sleep clearing my mind, because if I think too much I won’t ever go to sleep and right  now I need the rest. Once I drifted off, I felt at ease but it didn’t last for long.Sweating as these pictures keep popping into my head, hearing voices I have never heard before. Whispers. I can’t quite understand some of them but I try to concentrate, filtering out one that is the loudest,

I didn’t let go, something just clicked. We walk silently towards the Barracks when he suddenly stops. “Eliza? Let’s go this way.” He gazes towards the beach and the moon reflecting on the ocean sparkles in his eyes. I nod in agreement. He holds onto my hand tight, afraid of letting go. You can feel that something has changed, he is very calm but somewhat nervous. “Why did you run away?” He asks as he stops. “I don’t really want to talk about it. Hope you understand.” I answer looking down on our hands before trying to pull away. He holds even tighter. “Don’t always do this, stop running from me. I know what I said was wrong. Of course, I will always be there for you, always be here if you need a shoulder to fall back on. I am sorry that I let you down. I will try my hardest from now on to be the Friend that you need.” He then eases his grip on me and lets me go knowing he said what was bugging him. “This had nothing at all to do with you Noel

I notice a shadow jumping to the side as I turned to watch them walk away , which caught my attention immediately. I am now aware that something is off as I walk closer to the Flower shop looking at all the amazingly vibrant colours. Keeping an eye on who might be following me when I notice the beauty of a bundle of Orchids. They have me mesmerized as out of a sudden the Owner of the Shop hands me a few in a small Bunch. “Beautiful Flowers for a Beautiful Lady.” He smiles warmly at me as I gasp for air at the sight of them. “Oh, but I have no money on me.” I gesture with my hands in the air as I feel overwhelmed.“No need to pay. You made my Granddaughter an incredibly happy little Girl.”  He hands me the Flowers.“Thank you so much.” Feeling very much caught out that someone would even do that. Just handing me a Bunch of the most beautiful flowers for nothing but a little Chat.I carry on to walk

No one has ever said these words to me before, not once did anyone pledge to me their love. I still feel the pain though, this feeling of disappointment that he is leaving. Leaving with her...I turn towards the Town. I will have to go speak to, what was his name again? Oh Yes… Joseph, I think it is. I need to get enough people to have people patrol the border, but in reality, I don’t need many in the castle as almost everyone will be gone. So probably one or two will cover the lot. I am a little concerned over the Rogues Liam mentioned. Somehow, I hope they aren’t trying their luck now half the Fighters are gone and almost all the Guards on top of it.Look at me making all these plans as every decision comes down to me now. Never had so much responsibility before but I need to proof to Liam that I can look after the castle while they are away. I casually walk towards the Town asking my way around who Joseph is and how I can find him. I am directed t

We hung on to the castle and Pack for four days. Nothing else happened and we got a good routine with switching between day and night-time watch. I was up nights and Noel would do everything throughout the day once I handed over. Not once did we talk about what happened, nor did we talk about anything else. Really it was just anything related to how the day or night went. I came across a park, it looked like a parcourse, no one has mentioned it to me before, so it has me curious.This evening as he hands over the night shift, I look him in the eyes with a little glimmer in my eyes.“What is that parcourse thing? Why is no one using it?”“Oh, we are still using it, you just not had the chance to see it yet. Liam usually makes it a competition once a month we all start like a knockout event. One against another only the winner gets to the next round. You need to be really fit to get through it and fast on top of it. It’s fun, but you defini
