audrey belle rosewood i lead adelaine to a secluded spot, between two trees that tower above us. "caspian wants me to go with him," i tell her in a serious voice. "oliver already says no to his offer, that i need to go with you guys to complete the mission." "why?" she asks in a hushed voice, her eyes piercing me. as if she already knows. "caspian thinks i have magic." i force a small laugh. "and do you?" adelaine presses, leaning forward slightly. "n-no, of course not," i stammer. "why would i?" but adelaine has already seen through my lie, as if it were merely clear water. "you have magic." she says it now as a statement. i drop my hands, not realizing i had brought them in front of me defensively in the first place. "you're not going to give up, are you?" i ask, cracking a small smile. her expression remains serious, unfeeling. "audrey, you realize what this means, right?" adelaine. always loyal to the king, no matter what. "adelaine, if you could just try to see-" i plead. she softens a little, and opens her mouth to say something. and i wonder what she'll say next. a/n:: YAYYY lyss i'm so sorry for sharing this so late :sob: OMG I THOUGHT I SHARED THIS ACK
