Choices

“How was it?” Adam asked as I dragged myself through the back door of the manor. My hair had twigs in it, and I smelled of sweat and ash.

“Quite well. I would like to take a shower and go to bed,” I groaned, rubbing my right shoulder with my left hand.

“You were out there for a while. Rose and Helen came back about four hours ago, Krista beat you by about an hour, and now you walk through the door half dead.” He laughed.

“Yeah, well I have one thing that they don’t.” I tried to grin by even my face was hurting.

“What’s that?” he asked as he looked at me for an answer.

“I have the fire wielders, four hundred beings with fire to be exact. I could have fifty of them producing light at a time,” I moaned, longing for my bed.

“Well at least eat something.” He motioned toward the kitchen. “There is some leftover chicken that Rose made.”

“I have a feeling if I eat anything Rose made it will only start a fight. I’m good, Adam. I will eat an extra breakfast in the morning.” I started walking toward the stairs.

“I’m confused as to what is going on with the two of you. There was no sign of an issue in Dallas. Now all of a sudden, she wants to drown you, and you want to sacrifice her to the God of Fire.” He didn’t seem so happy about the tension between his girlfriend and me. How could I blame the man? If he had any idea what had gone on, maybe, just maybe, he would understand.

“I don’t know what it is. I hope it fizzles out before we have to go into battle. She might sacrifice me to the Queen just to get rid of me.” I looked at him apologetically. I didn’t want to speak ill of Rose. I didn’t have any real issues with her. The only problem I had was standing right in front of me. He had lost that softness, and I had to admit I missed it. Right now, he was just Adam, the boy I met in choir class.

“I thought it funny. She asked if you and I ever had anything. I told her not just no, but hell no. We are too much like siblings; it would be like kissing my sister.’” Adam laughed. I joined in, knowing full well of the short past we shared that he could not remember.

“Yeah, that’s funny.” My voice trailed off. Shawn had done better work than I had thought. He wiped out every memory of how he felt about me.

“I wish you would eat,” he pleaded.

“I am not hungry,” I lied. I could feel my stomach aching, wanting to eat something.

“I know you better than you know yourself sometimes. Please, if anything eat a sandwich.” He wasn’t going to give up on this.

“If I feel like eating after my bath, I will.” I smiled at him. “I promise.”

“All right, well I’m headed to bed.
