Chapter 9

We decided to rest there. Without blankets, we slept on the cold ground and sadly we woke up to a very wet and chilly spring morning. The thing about Valabin is that you never know what season it will be tomorrow. The Witch of the Foi controls the weather and seasons. Sorta. It’s changed by her mood, and she’s normally pretty happy. All four of the witches control something about life and they have their own special power. Well, except for the Vie. The Witch had her ability taken away when she tried to kill everyone, so she figured that if she can’t have one then no one else could and we know how well that went. I know the Vie control how long you live and the Deces control where you go when you die, but I’m not too sure about what the Damnes does. I got off topic. Anyways…

“How much further until we get there?” Gabriel groaned. Everyone besides Gabriel and I (we were stuck walking) had been flying all day and were pretty exhausted. I could see poor Leo, who I’ve guessed is the weakest between him and his brother, struggling to stay up.

“Just a little further. I can see the tower from here,” Mona answered. She was the only one not tired. We all knew why but still it kinda sucked.

“Could you give me an estimate cause I can’t see the fucking tower,” Gabriel grumbled, “And who the fuck puts a fucking princess in a tower!” Eris started laughing so hard that she almost fell out of the air, which made the rest of us laugh except for Mona and Leo. He’s a very quiet child. Okay, child isn’t a good word to use when talking about what looks like a seventeen-year old who seemed to be only three inches shorter than his brother.

“Gabriel, it is only about one and a half miles from here,” Mona sighed once everyone stopped laughing.

“What? Is the little reaper getting tired?” Lander asked flying next to Gabriel, “Poor thing. Too bad too, you’re letting flower over there show you up.”

“Get the fuck away from me, asshole,” Gabriel shot. Lander smirked and flew over beside me.

“Hey pretty flower, how are you?” Lander asked, rolling onto his back and looking at me.

“Exhausted. Why?” I asked with a yawn. He stretched and put his arms behind his head which caused his shirt to move just above his belly button. Okay, I used to do hand to hand combat when I was in school and it wasn’t uncommon for the guys to fight without their shirts on so it never bugged me. Although for some reason seeing Lander’s belly was making me uncomfortable. I quickly looked away and saw him smiling at me. His smile was as pointy as Eris’s since they both had teeth like the Vie.

“Well, I was wondering maybe after all of this princess searching business that we could spend a little more time together. Just you and me, get to know each other more,” Lander answered with a mischievous grin.
