Learning the Truth (Fighting for Freedom Series Book 1) (4 page)

After three more days Septimus hadn’t attacked. It was a relief, because it gave them more time to prepare, but Louise wanted it all to be over. She didn’t want to be living with the fear that someone working for him might try to take her and Scott made certain that someone was with her at all times. They slept in the same bed every night, her nightmares no longer a problem thanks to him, as everyone talked about the relationship that had bloomed between the two of them, because they needed something normal in their lives to gossip about. She didn’t mind and sometimes even joined in the conversations, needing to take time out as much as everyone else did.

“We keep a look out for Septimus and get ready for the autumn harvest. Hopefully he’ll be too busy to attack us during it, but we can’t be complacent. Not when it comes to him.” Scott sighed. “For tonight, though, I think we all need to get some sleep, otherwise we’re not going to be any good when harvest does come.” He looked at Louise. “You know your people better than I do, so I’m going to need your help getting them all to do what they’re best at.”

“It’s sorted.” She smiled at him. “Having me by your side has helped them to accept you as the person in charge. They know I wouldn’t be with you if I didn’t believe everything you told me was the truth, so they’re starting to listen to your men as well, who are all willing to tell stories about how wonderful you are.”

“Lou…”

She laughed. “That’s something you’re just going to have to deal with, Scott, because people do think you’re wonderful. It’s not any person who would do everything they could to get rid of someone like Septimus, so they see you as someone special, someone worth talking about, and someone worth dying for.”

“There are days when I wish they didn’t.”

Gently she kissed his cheek. “I know, but they do and it’s something you’re just going to have to accept. You are their hero. I think you always will be.”
