Secrets

~Chapter 42~

Addy Pov.

About a week later...

I put my feet on the ground and stare at them as I walk forward. Ingressus watches me, making sure I don't fall. I feel a sharp pain on the side of my leg and start falling down before Ingressus catches me and hugs me.

"I guess you're not ready to walk yet." He sighs.

"No!" I yelp. "I can! Let me try again!"

He chuckles slightly then lets go of me and takes my hand taking me back to the other end of the room. I tense myself as he walks to the other end of the room. I take a step forward, staring at my feet then start walking carefully towards him. I look up at Ingressus and he nods then opens his arms to me as I walk into them and hug him.

"Alright try one more time." He says and I nod then walk to the other end of the room. I grin then run to the other end of the room towards him and he catches me as I fall with a panicked expression.

"I don't think we should try running yet..." He says and I grin.

"I like running." I say and grin as he sighs then smiles.

"I know." He says and messes up my hair. I snort and flick my ear. "Why did you do that?"

"I don't know." He says and I lift up my leg and start tugging at the wrapping on it, eager to take it off.

"Alright stop, you're just going to hurt yourself more if you do that." He says and starts untying the wrapping by himself. He takes it off completely and I start running around happily.

"I can WALK!" I shriek and he smiles.

"Yes, you can." He says and I stop running and flop down on the bed, I giggle and feel him lay on top of me and hug me.

"Get off." I say playfully and he buries his nose in my hair.

"Mmm." He mumbles. I grin and he gets up and I glance at him as he looks towards the door.

Ingressus Pov.

I glance towards the door and then back at Addy.

"Um, Addy... can I ask you something?" I say nervously and she looks back at me then grins and nods.

"Of course!" She says. "What do you want to ask me?"

"Will you be—" I start then glance around again. Oh what am I thinking, this dump is no where romantic at all. I shift slightly as she furrows her eyebrows.

"What's wrong Gress?" She asks and walks forward, hugging me and looking up at me. I look down at her then smile and hug her back. I'll ask her later when we're somewhere beautiful and romantic. Or at least beautiful. I love her so much and need to be somewhere pretty to ask her to be my mate...
