Air {Elements of Power 3}

Chapter Eight: Roxy

Roxy:

Brae came to visit today.

He opened the door to my room tentatively and came inside, a million questions poised on his lips.

I glared at him.

He had left me.

Abandoned me.

I had rescued myself.

I didn't need him.

I didn't want him.

Okay, so maybe that last part wasn't a hundred percent accurate, but it didn't matter anyway.

He had chosen.

And it wasn't me.

There was no point moping over it. I needed to move on. Make a plan.

I was not going to die in this awful place. It was freezing.

I needed to get home, kill Cin, and then I could live happily ever after. Simple.

Brae was still standing in the room, but he wasn't saying anything.

I looked at him properly for the first time since arriving in the Realm.

His hair shone with streaks of silver. His face was pale. His eyes were red.

He had been crying.

My heart-showing the first sign of life in hours-suddenly flipped in my chest.

He was upset. He was hurt.

"Brae-" I began, but it was too much. He turned and left.
