“Because in a broken world, you're still the one I would look for, no matter what.”
― Abigail Bostic

“I didn't want to cry. Crying is for the week, and I wasn't that, but morning is only for people worth knowing, and I don't even know if I truly knew Madson enough to mourn him. I've lost people, yes, but none hurt as much as losing him did.”

“I think you can guess why I'm here," I knew it. He got in trouble with the king. Which he sent his guards to go after him.

"Yes, I got in some trouble with the king.... yes, he sent his guards after me.... yes, I kept looking for you to see if you were still alive..."
That one I hadn't thought of. But still, why?

"Red, I know things back then between our friendship was.... mixed. But you're still my best friend, so yes, I still would look for you even when the world was braking." I narrowed my eyes at him. Best friends? No, I'll settle for friends, but only people worth knowing deserves the title of best friends. And he, he had not deserved it yet.”

“My eyes widened. And as I was walking downstairs, I heard laughter. I reached the bottom of the stairs. "Hello?"

The man-well, he looked more like a teenager than a grown man. Nearly older than me- who was standing next to Madson, he looked at me with narrowed eyes.

"You are?"
"David."
"Why are you here? How are you here?"

He held a hand up. "I'll ask the questions here. Your name?"

I stiffened. "Thats classified information about me."

He sighed. "Redlyn."

To that I froze completely. "how do you know that?”

“Red?" Madson said his structure hazed, fuzzy, leaning over me. "Red!" he repeated. I started to be able to see him again. He was looking up at someone, saying something.

"Should we take her to the paramedics?"

"She's fine," Davids voice. "She survived a bullet to the neck. She can live through passing out."

"She hit her head on the table! And she hit the ground hard!" Kenith's voice now.”

“I smiled at him. But my mind was somewhere else. Running through memories of me and my childhood best friend. At how he looked at me, talked to me, laughed with me, and anything else he did with me. Then I remembered his words. "Because in a braking world, you're still the one I would look for, no matter what." I knew he never truly said he loved me, maybe thought about it, but never said it. And if he ever gave a clue to it. I always ignored them.”

“The kings drones!" Kenith said. My eyes widened. I couldn't move as the light moved closer and closer until I saw it crawling up my body. Madson and David both grabbed and pulled me behind a burnt down building. My eyes fogged, heart beating to fast I couldn't hear anything. I saw Madson say something, the fear in Kenith's eyes, the worry on David's face. Soon I started to relax, I could hear what Madson was saying in a fast, low voice.

"She may not make it out here." David's comeback. "She's fine. Everyone has there own fears to face. This is hers."

"I don't care. I promised no harm."

"Then lets move." All eyes came to me as I stood and started walking, I didn't need to look back to know they would follow.”

“The guard that spoke first said. "Redlyn Dark." he said it like he was my name.

"Yes, thats-"

"I did not tell you to talk." My mouth shut.”
― Abigail Bostic

“You say your name is?"

"Redlyn Dark." I say

"Redlyn. Do you know what Redlyn means in this world?" I didn't answer. "It means," the king griped my face with one hand hard enough to hurt. "It means to different things. One, the word Red means blood. Two the whole name Redlyn means worrier." I nodded. I've heard what my name means before.

"Do you know why your name means what it means?" The king turned my face to each side over and over again. I stayed quiet. "Answer the question, Redlyn."

"Because the color red is the same as blood and Redlyn is what the legend says a child will be named and she will be a worrier." The king's grip tightened, I wanted to cry out, but I couldn't.

"You're wrong. I do not care for you're nickname, Redlyn is the name of a worrier queen who left her kingdom in order to find and kill the worlds powerful and dangers people.”
