Chosen By The Moon
Chapter 163
Dylan POV.
So while I got on with my tasks, V and the council need to make a map of the base. That surly wasn’t too difficult to do. I couldn’t understand how one hadn’t already been made.
Thank you, for showing me to the medical tent. I definitely would have gotten lost.” I spoke directly to the nurse who escorted me to where my friend was, however her gaze was completely diverted from my own. She was a very anxious person which is what I had deducted in the short time of meeting her. Her head was often bowed low and she seemed to naturally show respect to anyone wether they deserved it or not.
“It’s my pleasure, your grace.” She glanced at me slightly, still not meeting my eyes and looking away as soon as she saw my head turn to her. “Erm…” Oh great, here come the awkward questions. “Is it true, you’ve been blessed by the moon goddess?”
What? Was this girl a wolf? No, she was far too submissive, if she was a wolf she would naturally have a strong presence, and yet she was extremely meek. Why must I always defend myself against stupid people and their stupid
beliefs.
“I’ve not been blessed by anything, I was just unlucky in the fact that the king took a liking to me. Don’t mistake that for some Devine intervention.”
“I see, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked.” God this girl was annoyingly agreeable. I could probably tell her anything and
she would believe it. “We’re almost at the medical tent.”
It was insane the closer we got to the tent, the more shocked and curious I was. It was fairly evident which one was in fact the medical tent, as large thick cords and wires ran out from underneath the canvas. They were connected to an old electrical box. Next to the main large tent sat small RVs and other smaller tipis with beds inside. Essentially this entire section of the base was used as a hospital wing.
Upon entering my mouth widened in shock and curiosity. My eyes darted around the entire tent at the sheer amount of equipment present. They even had an old MRI machine used for scanning the inner body for abnormalities. It was impressive to say the least.
“Mr Clarke is in RV–4, your grace.” I peeled my eyes away from the equipment and forced my body to leave the impressive tent. My feet moved towards the RV labeled with the number four and I entered it alone.
The interior reminded me so much of the caravan my mom and dad used to take me to before the new world came into effect. My eyes met the man who I had been thinking about constantly since I arrived and sighed in relief when I saw he was ok. He had bandages wrapped tightly around his torso and arms, with pillows piled high under his back propping him up comfortably, while an old flatscreen tv blurred out previous news.
I heard my own screams coming from it and looked at the screen as it showed Nicks house. This was the news
coverage of my mothers death.
“Turn it off!” My voice was quiet, and seeing it from an outsiders perspective wasn’t something I wanted to do. That was the day I truly broke, and the last thing I needed was the reminder of it. The tough and cocky facade I had put on since arriving was long gone, and I felt myself cave in wanting nothing more than both my parents to take away my
misery. My voice brought Ryan out of his engrossed state and he turned to face me slightly, wincing as he did so. I didn’t think seeing it would cause so much terror to shoot through me, but I couldn’t stop the slight uncontrollable shake my body had taken on.
