Bonded Spirits 2
Page 26
Several guards threw spears and a couple shot bolts from crossbows, but it was all for naught as we were out of reach within seconds. The griffons lifted us high into the air and carried us to the outskirts of the city. My consciousness faded in and out as we lowered to the ground.
I lost track of all time as my world spun around me. My consciousness returned as Alysain set me carefully on my feet. I braced myself on a nearby tree as the other griffons set Gwen, Isobel, and Dahlia down in front of me. Alysain inspected my arm and looked to the other three. “You must get him help soon. He’s lost a lot of blood, he may not make it if you don’t hurry.”
My legs felt weak as I turned to face Alysain. “Thank you. I owe you my life. I thought you’d been captured?”
She leaned forward and kissed me on the cheek. “It’s good to have friends on the inside.” She motioned toward the others and they lifted into the air. “Good luck, and we shall meet again.” The griffon smiled at me and with a giant flap of her beautiful wings she propelled herself high into the air.
A familiar voice rose from behind, drawing my attention. “You guys better get in, we’ve got to get on the road!” Fapplejack sat in the driver’s seat of Amos’s carriage with Ellie, the shop owner by his side. The goblin smiled at me and nodded. “It’s not every day I get to haul around a tournament champion.”
I held up a finger. My breaths came out choppy as my body weakened. “One second FJ.” I staggered over to Isobel and held the sides of her face and kissed her lips. I pulled back and stared into her eyes. “I’m so sorry about your father. I promise you, you will have your revenge.” She gave me a sad smirk and leaned forward, kissing me again.
I pulled back and turned to Dahlia. “My sweet flower. You’ve saved my life, yet again. I’m never going to be able to repay you.” I cradled her face and pulled her lips forward to meet mine. I kissed her passionately for several seconds before releasing her. She gave me a shy smile and wiped the sides of my face with her thumbs. “The only repayment I need is for you to live.”
I smiled and took a staggered step back, catching myself and focusing on Gwen’s eyes. Before I could even lift my arm, she pulled my face close and kissed me as if it were the only way she’d survive. She pulled back and had tears in her eyes. I smiled weakly at her. “I’ve missed you.”
She had a stern face for a moment before softening. “Don’t you ever scare me like that again, Logan West. I love you too much to lose you.”
I leaned forward and kissed her again. “I love you too.” I dropped to a knee and the girls rushed forward to support me.
Fapplejack called out again from the top of the carriage. “Get him inside, this ride’s leaving.” They helped me over to the carriage and Isobel opened the door. I took a deep breath and prepared to hoist myself inside when I met Mona’s eyes. I froze in place, my eyes locked on hers. Tear streak stains marked each side of her face. She reached out a hand. “Hi Logan. I knew you could do it.”
I accepted her hand and she helped me inside. I stopped again as I spotted Amos on the floor, wrapped in bandages. His eyes were closed, but he was still breathing. “Is he going to be okay?”
Mona nodded. “Yes, he’ll be an arm short, but otherwise he should be okay.” She smiled and helped the other girls inside the carriage. Gwen and Dahlia took up places next to me, while Isobel sat directly across from me. It was as if they were intent on making sure nothing happened to me from any direction as Dahlia wrapped my wounds with her soft petals. She raised a small potion to my lips and I drank every sweet drop. Within seconds I knew it was working, and I’d already begun to heal. With my women back at my side, I was confident that I was not only going to survive, but come back stronger than ever.
We had survived. Somehow, some way, we had survived. I didn’t care about the fallout from the Capitol, or the fact that I had just committed regicide. I had my bonded back. The stones had worked.
I glanced at everyone inside the carriage with me and nodded. “Things are about to get very interesting.”
Fapplejack called out as the carriage lurched forward. “Okay, hold on. Monster Girl Manor, here we come!”
