To Get Back Home (A Clato Fanfic)

Part 30

Part 30

I got up early the next morning to go and see Cato. He hadn’t been himself ever since we saw Miria and I just wanted to make sure he was okay.

Justin answered the door. He had grown since I’d last seen him and a smile grow on his face as soon as he saw me. He looked small; you would never guess that he was 12. ‘Clove!’ He shouted and wrapped his arms around my waist.

‘Is your brother in?’ I asked him looking into his big blue eyes – they were just like his brother’s. He nodded, took my hand and pulled me up the stairs. Cato was sat on his bed with his sword in his hand. He looked up as soon as I walked in.

‘Clove!’ he said sliding the sword under his bed.

‘Bye Clove’ Justin said before walking out the room leaving me and Cato alone. I walked over to Cato’s bed and sat beside him. He looked at me and smiled, a real smile, like it was the first time he was actually back to normal.

‘I went to see her this morning.’ He said. I turned towards him eager to find out if she was okay. ‘She wasn’t there.’ He said. I could see the tears filling up in his eyes – this wasn’t good.

‘She’s in a better place now Clove, she isn’t in pain anymore.’ I felt tears filling up in my eyes as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I wrapped my arms around his neck and we just sat there, crying.
