The Forest Of Adventures (#1 Of The Knight Trilogy) - Plot & Excerpts
EMISSARIES The college term started without Blake. I waited a whole week for him to show. English lessons were the worst when I would sit next to the empty seat wondering if everything was over. Nobody noticed me drowning as they were all used to me being out at sea waving my hands in distress. That was except for the weird girl in English who I’d caught watching me several times during lesson. It was as if she alone were able to see my own internal drama and it was playing itself out like a soap opera uniquely for her. I’d catch her watching me and then her involuntary glance towards Blake’s empty chair as she pretended she wasn’t. She knew - I just didn’t know how. Her name was Delta. I’d never seen her speak to anyone but that didn’t mean she didn’t speak. Often in English she was the only other one that had anything to contribute to the topic discussion. She just didn’t seem to like speaking to someone. She’d arrived in September. American, emo, defiant. I’d often see her after class standing under the no smoking sign having a smoke and thought I would stop and talk to her but there was something about Delta that warned you not to bother, as if she wore her very own, ‘Danger – Keep out!’ sign.
