CHAPTER 11

ARAMINA

W e rode for a couple of hours and stopped by another lake. It was longer and larger than the last one we stopped at or maybe they were all connected. My brain was just too tired to figure it out. The lake was stunning and I could see the reflection of the lustrous moon in the water. I just hoped there were no more Vikings around.

Malcolm got down from the horse and held out his hand to me. He looked dejected and it hurt me to see him that way. I took his hand and his touch sent another jolt through me. He didn’t let go of my hand and he led me to a small cave. I was reluctant to go in. It was pitch black. Malcolm gathered a few materials nearby to make a fire.

There was barely any light besides the moonlight. It glowed dimly, but it was just enough. I looked up at the night sky and felt a little at ease. The sky looked like someone scattered diamond dust across it. The twinkling stars shined like little fireflies. It was a delightful sight to see. I felt as if I could breathe easier.

Malcolm took a piece of lighted firewood and checked out the cave. It didn’t look creepy at all, but I didn’t want to stay in there if there were other species sleeping in there. Malcolm walked back out and held out his hand for me. “Come.”

I didn’t notice he already laid out his blanket on the ground. I sat down on top of it and opened the whiskey pouch. I took another drink from it even though I was feeling a little drunk. Oh how I wish we had water right about now. Malcolm handed me a small piece of bread and I ate it in silence. The bread took some of the buzz away. We didn’t say anything to each other. I’m sure he didn’t know what to say to me and I didn’t know what to say to him either. We just stared into the fire.

Tons of emotions started swelling up inside of me. Tears welled up in my eyes. I couldn’t understand why I was feeling this way. I just know I didn’t want to be around Malcolm at this moment. “I want to be alone, Malcolm.”

“No.” He said wrapping his arms around me.

“I need some space.” I said trying to push his arms away. He gripped both my wrists.

“Ara…” He began.

“Please.” I begged.

He looked into my eyes and let me go. He looked hurt but nodded and left me alone in the cave. I leaned back against the cave wall and balled myself up. I made sure to face away from him. I knew he wouldn’t go too far. I didn’t want him to see me like this right now. There were so many emotions going on inside of me. I felt anger, sadness, frustration, and fear. My chest felt so tight. Everything just came crashing down. Images
