Chapter 50: The Adventures of Cilv and Evanna
When Axel rose in the morning, he couldn’t quite understand what happened overnight. There was a strange atmosphere in the group; when he looked at Ger, he glared at Ronan at any possible moment he could get. One look at Evanna, and he could see her either blushing or avoiding Ronan’s eye contact. Making up excuses to move away from him. Lastly, when he looked at Cilv, she smiled, of course, enjoying the weird atmosphere. Before he could ask over breakfast, what the issue was, Cilv spoke up instead.
"Raven and I need to scout the palace. Check out ways to get in, find out any information on the guard’s rotations, if there are any easy ways of getting into there," Cilv spoke confidently as she eyed the group before her.
"Nope! Not happening!" Ger immediately dismissed the idea, snapping his head away from giving the evil eye to Ronan.
Cilv rolled her eyes, "Ugh, why not?"
"Raven is not going with you," Ger rejected once again.
Evanna looked between the pair, and then her eyes landed on Ronan; the scene of him kissing her cheek the previous night flashed before her eyes. That, along with the nightmares and whispers she could still hear every few minutes made her happily stand up next to Cilv, "You don’t speak for me, Ger."
Ronan whistled, his eyes wide as he looked at Ger and Evanna, who were staring at each other intensely. A mini argument between their eyes was taking place, but only they could tell what the other was saying. Evanna turned her back on him.
"Don’t turn your back on me!" Ger roared after her, grabbing her by the wrist. She turned around, stunned at his harsh grip.
"Cilv and I are the stealthiest and quickest out of you guys. So, it’s best if you stay hidden while we scout the place out," Evanna said through gritted teeth before yanking her hand away from Ger’s grasp. She rubbed it tenderly, knowing it would bruise later. Ger immediately felt terrible; he was taking his anger out on her when it should be on Ronan. He nodded his head, relenting, while he thought of how he was going to kick Ronan’s ass.
