A Shadow In The Abyss (Rogue love story)

Chapter 4

Emma's POV

I lay in the bed in my room which was in the apartment thing that was reserved for my guild.

I wanted to speak to Rogue again, and I feel so weird on the inside. What is this feeling?! It's so annoying! I can't concentrate on anything! Not even cleaning my knives!

It was the last day of the Grand Magic Games and honestly, I was kind of upset about that. It was actually fun participating.

I guess I'll be here next year since I am Lamia Scale's strongest wizard (not that many people apart from the guild know that) and its trump card.

There was a recovery day before the duel battles which was on the final day of the GMG.

Nothing to do. So boring. I left all my stuff at home. This is so annoying. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Someone knocked on my door which relieved me from some boredom as I actually had something to do. I got up and headed towards the door, turning the knob which revealed Steff.

I guess it didn't relieve from any boredom. Great. "Master wishes to speak to you." He said and I sighed in irritation and walked out of the room and down to a hotel where the rest of the guild that wasn't participating in the Grand Magic Games were staying.

As I entered the lobby I saw the guild master sitting on a chair with an empty seat next to her.

I walked over, plopping down on the chair and she looked up at me.

"Emma. I have something of most importance to speak with you. If something were to happen to me since I am entering the old age......" She started trailing off. Entering? I'm sorry Master but you've long past 'entered' old age.... I kept my mouth shut and continue listening even though my inner demon was just screaming at me to make the remark.

"Seeing as you are the strongest Mage in the guild, I'd like your consent saying that you will become guild master if anything were to happen to me. I hate to place such a burden on such a young girl." She said shaking her head.

I wasn't expecting that. Me become the guild master? For the first time in my life I had no words to say. My eyes were wide which is a rare expression for me to have and I am not easily surprised.

"Master....." I mumbled and looked up full of confidence. "I accept. But if there are reasons for me to quit the guild I hope you understand and choose someone different." I said trying to clarify it.

She handed me a paper and pen for me to sign. After I did she signed as well and dismissed me.

I walked back to the apartment in a daze, well where I thought the apartment was, and when I finally snapped out I had no idea where I am. Ah crap.

I groaned and sighed starting to wonder the city. Where in the world am I?

This a getting annoying! I hate being so lost! Grrrrrr!

"Are you lost?" Someone said from behind me and I vaguely recognized that voice.

I turned around and saw the quiet dragon slayer that I had found myself longing to see even for just a moment. Something is seriously wrong with me.

I was a little embarrassed to say it but I didn't show it. "Yeah." I shrugged admitting it. There is no harm with saying it. It was just an honest mistake.

Something is seriously wrong with me.

"The apartments are this way." He said emotionless starting to walk with his cloak covering his entire body except his face.

This........... Is weird.
