I Am The Luna

Chapter 0503

ADRIANA

"Fuck!" I groan as I'm thrown through the trees. Branches snap as I slam into them, wincing as I am unable to regain my balance and go barrelling downwards through them and hit the ground forty feet below, the breath knocked from me.

"Fuck

"Impressive," Zade says as he drops onto the ground a few feet away. Damien and Valerie appear, both looking pale as Valerie drops beside me to check me over.

"Impressive?" I scoff. "You beat me."

"You did well, you're resilient and fearless"

"And she's bleeding." Valerie sighs as 1 force myself to sit up, gritting my teeth.

Oh, I've definitely broken something.

"Zade, can you just be gentle?" Valerie scolds.

Zade tilts his head, looking at her as if that was obvious. She rolls her eyes in response.

I don't do gentle.

That is what he probably just told her, or something of the sort, anyway.

They are a great couple, opposites, yet so perfect for one another. Seeing them is a reminder that we don't need to be from the same upbringing or lifestyle or even have the same ideals to get on... but that is clearly just the opinion of some of us.

My irritatingly perfect mate thought otherwise, but then again, he is a dick and a half

"Fuck, she's broken her leg," Damien mutters.

Have 1?

I look down and suck in a breath, frowning "It's fine. I'll snap it back into place."

"I'll do that," Valerie says, and before I can even say anything, I gasp in agony as she snaps my bone back into place.

"Fuck!" I hiss as I breathe deeply, trying to get past the jarring pain that has rocked my body.

I exhale, my heart pounding and all the energy I had seems to deplete.

"Let's get you home," Valerie sighs as she brushes my hair back. "What on earth were you two trying to prove?"

"Just a lesson on how to survive," Zade replies arrogantly.

"Or how to die young," Damien whispers.

"Zade." Valerie stands as she motions to him.

He doesn't say anything, but he bends down lifting me up.

"I can walk," I say, about to fight him, but one scathing frown from Valerie makes me fall silent.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

I guess that is why Zade listens to her...

The walk back isn't too far, but somehow I feel so drowsy..

I'm so tired... we did wake up super early...

Hmm

"Atticus."

My eyes fly open, any drowsiness I was experiencing moments ago vanishing

Wait, what did she say?

"I thought you were falling asleep," Zade remarks, looking down at me, raising an eyebrow.

"I wasn't," I lie.

Valerie chuckles. "As I was saying, Atticus will be here for Halloween. I thought it would be nice. I mean, Zaia's called us all for Christmas and Atticus, of course, has claimed New Year's"

I zone out as I try to remain calm. Atticus is coming here?

"Well, I hope he stays out of my way," I say, motioning for Zade to put me down. He doesn't argue and I suck in a breath as I land on my feet, my body screaming in pain.

Fuck, maybe I did try too hard.

"Adriana!" Valerie exclaims.

"I'm good, Doctor Luna. I'm just going to go home," I say, limping towards the packhouse

Fuck, it hurts.

"Adriana, listen! Oh wait, never mind," Valerie sighs.

I am grateful because I don't want to talk about Atticus. It fucking hurts every damn time, even if I continue to pretend it doesn't.

Gritting my teeth, I straighten my back and walk as straight as possible towards the packhouse. Yeah, I'm not letting a few broken bones stop me.

I groan as I turn in bed.

It's dark

What time is it?

Squinting, I look out of my window, hmm... the moon's up.

BONUS

Fuck, did I sleep all day?

Sitting up, I groan. Valerie's been here, there are painkillers next to my bed, plus water and a flask of something Opening it I inhale the smell of hot chocolate before I gulp it down. It's still hot, but I welcome the burning liquid, feeling better.

But I am fucking starved.

But first I need a shower and I better change the bedding. It's covered in dirt. Groaning, I drag the fitted sheet off and dump it to the side before staggering to the bathroom.
