To Kill A Mockingbird Chapter 2 Alternate Ending

After the shepherds had gotten to the spring festival in Ferox, everyone pretty much went their separate ways. They had just gotten back from Plegia, and everyone deserved a break. No one expected Robin to have a twin that was evil and this aroused questions and caution around the tactician and Imogen noticed it was certainly weighing down on Frederick as well. Maybe even more than the others. Which is why she is grateful for this week long celebration. The beautiful light ceremony started and all the couples were cuddling close. Imogen couldn't help but sigh inwardly. She wished she and Frederick would do that more in public, but she knew and understood his concerns and things he was uncomfortable with. It wasn't like she wasn't
Her myrmidon uniform wasn't going to be of very much help from hiding. She'll have to get something new and dark to wear.

"Ah, I wish it couldn't been more cheaper.." Imogen murmured to herself and fixed the black cap on her hair. She bought a big enough black cape, to hide her from her ankle up to her jawline. Maybe she should try something less.. costly next time-- A grunt was heard down the dirt path she was taking and she instantly hid behind a tree. She must be close enough to him already. She shifted to the next closest trees. The closer she got, the louder the grunts got, and the more she realized these grunts were painful one's. Was Frederick being hurt?!

The anticipation grew worse as the red head bit her lip and crossed her fingers, hoping for something better. Hoping that when she turned around she'll find her beloved well and alright. Her feet shifted to turn until she heard a strangled scream besides the tree. "..Y..You are..ah
I-It's just me Imogen." The hesitant but strong voice she had fell in love with soothed her as she gasped and panted for air. "F-Frederick?" "Yes? Did you have a nightmare?" Imogen looked at Frederick with a frightened expression. His eyes with drained with sleep and worry, and his hair resembled what they were doing before going to sleep. Yes, that's what it was. A nightmare. Not real but fears that haunt you in your sleep. Thank Naga above. "Yes...somewhat." A low chuckle emitted from his chest. He covered his mouth to keep his laughter in. "Heh..I never thought I'll hear you say that to me." He said and cuddled his cheek close to hers. Imogen blushed and wrapped her hand around his hand. "Oh?" She smiled slightly and tugged his hand up to cuddle when her eyes widen. T-There was dry blood on his.. "Ah damn it. I thought I cleaned it well.. Anyways. Let's go to bed, yeah?" Frederick leaned close to her and pressed his lips on her trembling one's. Frederick frowned at the trembling lips and pulled away, replacing his frown with a slight smirk. "Goodnight
