Chapter 33: Chapter 32
The night passed without incident. Although it was a restless sleep at least she slept. Ellie awoke to someone rustling in the kitchen. She got up, washed and dressed and left her room. Remy was sitting at the table with two plates and two glasses of orange juice. When he noticed Ellie he gestured for her to sit. Ellie smiled at him and they both ate their breakfast in silence. Ellie cleared the table and washed the dishes.
"I think it would be wise to teach you self defence. " Remy said
"Does that mean fighting?" she said.
"Yes. I won't always be by your side and we have idea what the future holds so it's best if at least you can protect yourself physically."
Ellie thought about it and nodded her agreement. Together they cleaned up and Remy cleared a space in the living room. They began with basic techniques and worked hard through the morning. At lunch Ellie cooked and Remy tidied then the continued. They took a break for dinner and rested for the rest of the night. Another restless night but one without incident. Their days continued like that and they grew closer. The only disruption to their routine were the days that Remy left for supplies. Three weeks passed in the blink of an eye and they recieved their first letter. It was from Asmodious.
...Dear Ellie,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am still searching for the king but I believe I will find him soon. Remember Remy is by your side should anything happen he will protect you. When I return we shall sort all this out and return to our peaceful lives at the church once more. I have heard from Miranda and the boys they are well and want me to send you their love and tell you not to worry over them. Please take care my child.
Asmodious...
Tears rolled down her face. They were still all worried about her. She missed them. She missed playing with the boys and their mischief. She missed Asmodious smile and his warm hugs. She missed Miranda scolding her and her teachings. All the little things that hadn't seemed important in the past suddenly became the most important to her and she hoped that she could return to those moments again in the future. Remy put his arms around her to comfort her and gently stroked her hair. Ellie cried into his chest. She felt embarrassed but couldn't stop. Her sobbing subsided and turned into hiccups.
"hic..thank you..hic.."
Remy handed her a tissue and she wiped her face. They called it a day early and Ellie went to her room to lie down. With the red sun setting in the distance plunging the room in a bloody glow Ellie fell asleep in her clothes and it was the first restful sleep she had in a while...
