《My Mute Mate》Ch. 31
Advertisement
"Hey guys." Someone mutters as the heavy footsteps get closer. They get out of the stairway to reveal Blake. Oh. Fantastic.
"Hello." Sym gives a bitter greeting and the boys look at her strange. Blake sighs and stumbles over to the coffee pot. After pouring himself a cup, he comes to stand next to me. I take an awkward step away from him.
"So what's up with you guys?" Blake asks and me and Sym just share a look of annoyance.
"Um well, we were just eating some food." Calum pipes up and Blake nods, silence following.
"Well I can tell when I'm not wanted. I'll see you later. And Dove, last night was fun. We should do that again." Blake finishes his coffee before putting the cup down and abruptly leaves the house.
"God I hate him.." Sym grumbles and forcefully stabs the last of her eggs.
After the rest of all the knocked out guests wake up and are immediately shooed out by Sym, we all decided to go to a movie. But then negated it due to Ashton, Calum, and I's hangovers. We decide to simply just go for a ride to the nearby woods.
'Are you sure it was okay to leave without cleaning up?' I ask Sym and she nods once without even looking at me to avoid the guys questioning her. I don't know if she's told Calum yet but I know for a fact Ashton doesn't know.
"So Dove, who was that guy?" Ashton asks from beside me, and I pause.
"He's.. a crazy ex of hers." Sym explains for me, and that's the most basic way to say it. Crazy Ex, yeah that fits Blake quite well.
"Oh. Yeah, I've got a few of those as well. I understand your struggle." Calum admits with a laugh.

"Yeah, same. I can't go three days without an ex of mine calling me. It's mainly the same one too. They're usually in tears and try to get me back. It's weird." Sym says, and Calum looks at her.
"Yeah well let me answer next time." Calum looks disgruntled, and I grin. It's cute when guys are jealous. We pull into a clearing in the woods that we regularly visit. We get out of the car and I lean against the hoods side. Calum jumps up onto the hood and crosses his feet as he leans across it.
"Yo Hood, get your feet off my hood. Show some respect for the car." Sym teases Calum playfully, but Calum throws his feet off the side towards me just in case. Ashton laughs.
"Way to take orders, Cal." Ashton says with a grin. Calum flips him the bird and Ashton's grin just gets larger. Suddenly someones phone starts ringing. Sym pulls out her phone and smiles suddenly. She answers as she strides over to Calum.
"Hey." She starts talking on the phone and smiles at Calum. He looks at her in confusion. I can almost imagine how Sym must look. Innocent smile, devilish fire dancing in her eyes. An angel with the worst intentions. "Oh stop crying, it'll all be okay. There's someone who wants to talk to you, Keenan."
She hands Calum the phone, batting her eyelashes. She mouths something, which I can only assume was 'my ex'. Calum cautiously takes the phone and puts it to his ear, a nervous look fleeting across his face.
"Hey man, s-so Sym tells me you keep calling her. Oh, I'm her boyfriend, Calum. It's okay man, it's coo- pardon? What did you just say?" Calum looks like he doesn't like what he's hearing, and Sym tries to take the phone. Calum moves and swats away her hand. He walks off so we can't hear what he's saying.

"Keenan can get... Irritable when he doesn't get his way. If you don't date him, he says some pretty mean stuff. Didn't think he'd go off on Cal. Imma go make sure they don't plan a fight or something." Sym explains and mutters something about 'it'd be entertaining though' while she stalks off.
"Well, that was amusing." Ashton giggles his little giggle and I can't help but smile in agreement. We watch as Sym hugs Calum while he talks angrily into the phone. I slide down to the dirt and look up at the sky. I see the moon in all of its daylight glory and get an idea to draw the moon. I look around for a nearby stick, and find one under the car. I start drawing the moon on a slightly smaller scale. I'm drawing on the craters when suddenly Ashton slides down next to me. He starts drawing stars around my moon with his finger. We're quiet as we draw, so quiet we can just barely hear Calum on the phone.
"Well that was fun. We should draw the sun and sky ne- what're you doing Dove?" Ashton asks me as I write above the drawing. I finish writing 'She looks at him like...' just to see that Ashton somehow finished my sentence at the bottom.
"She looks at him... Like he hung the moon. Nice guys." Sym suddenly pipes up from behind us and I jump a few feet.
"How are you so quiet?" Ashton asks with a laugh, getting up and wiping off his butt of dirt before offering me a hand to get up. I take it, following suit and wiping off my butt as well. I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear as Calum talks about Sym's taste in guys.
"I'm just saying, your taste in guys is horrible. Every ex of yours I meet are weird and don't seem to have even the smallest regard for manners or other's feelings. Its hard to hear them over their egos." Calum says and Sym shrugs.
"Well that's not saying much. Have you forgotten that you two are dating?" Ashton asks and laughs at Calums pouty face. Sym simply kisses Calums cheek before laughing with Ashton.
"Hey who wants to go cause some trouble since yall seem to have recovered a little bit?" Sym hops into the drivers seat and gives us a brilliant smile. I shrug like 'why not' and get in the passenger.
"Sorry babes, looks like you're kickin it in the back with Ash for this ride." Sym laughs as the boys get into the back. We drive off to cause some mischief, leaving our drawing behind.

Ashen Skies
Father. Allfather. He who was crowned twice. It has been ages since you have ascended. Since you were crowned with godhood for a second time. Since you have left an empire for us to dwell in, to defend. I yearn for an answer; why have you forsaken us! With you gone, your people have grown weak, complacent, and proud. Proud of who they are, proud of their blood. That pride blinds their eyes and clouds their minds. They are fools, for they have forgotten the ways of the past. They have forgotten the fears of old. The one you had to bind until the end of the time. They have forgotten the dark beast with red jewels for eyes. The Wargr gnaws the walls of his cage even now as I write. Itching for the taste of blood. I ask for forgiveness, for until a while ago I too was one of them. I thought I saved your children from the foretold doom. I now realize the hordes of foes we buried were just like us. No fearsome beasts, no harbingers of doom. Mortals of different flesh, different kind. But I am awakened from that dream now. I see it. Every time I close my eyes, I see it. The cold descends as the Dark walks the land, And the crimson stars shine beneath, as the ashen storm claims the realm. I hear the beast roar as the chains of Rukh crack, Only then I know. Only then I realize. That it’s the end. Descend to earth one more time. Save the puny souls that are us. If not, if you let my dreams come true; then will all die under an ashen sky. Leol, a son of Vaella
