Lana keeps on looking at me as we walk into this grassy trail. She must be figuring out why I suddenly paled and became sad all of a sudden. I keep on avoiding making eye contact with Vlash as much as possible. He makes me remember the pain I felt when Jemar broke my heart, the only reason why I am here in the first place and still decided to stay even how dangerous it may seem. Not just that but he gives me this weird visions every time our eyes meet making me feel so weak. I wanted to ask Lana about that so badly but I chose to stay silent and keep it all to myself hoping that it is just because I found Vlash to be mysterious and puzzling. He also seems to be getting out of my way and always staying behind us quietly. It is also making this big ice between us as we continue avoiding each other.“Riri what’s wrong, you know I’m connected to you right? I know you are sad so, what happened?” Lana said taking my attention and I deeply sigh.“No-nothing much, I-I just remembered what happ
I am sitting there for almost an hour when I heard a loud growl from behind me. I immediately spin around to see another ugly looking monster with the size and look of a lion but ugly in its yellowish color. I slowly stand and start to step back when the monster suddenly jumps to attack me. “OH COME ON!!! Why is this happening to me?!” I scream as close my eyes waiting for death when I realize that I still feel fine. When I open my eyes I see Leo battling the monster in front of me.“You okay?” he said still blocking the attacks of the monster.I look around for the others but I see only him. Where might the other be? I hope they are doing just fine.“I-I think so. Can- can you handle THAT?” I ask as he laughs.“Don’t worry I can handle this. Dwen is getting the others, I was nearer so he manage to bring me here in time thankfully.” Leo said as he pushes the monster that looks so angry they start to attack each other.“You better move away, Miss Riri.” He said making me nod and move
When I slowly open my eyes, I hear some chirping of birds and some voices of people sounding like when you are in a busy restaurant with the clinking of the plates. When my eyesight hit the light I immediately close it again since the light is like giving me a headache.“It- It’s too bright.” I utter softly and after a few seconds I slowly open it again until my eyes get accustomed to the bright light. I look around to see myself in an old room with wooded walls. I can hear clicking sounds and voices below so it only means that I am in a second floor or so, by the sound coming from below it seems like I can hear some men scowling to another. I slowly slide of the bed but immediately retract it up when my bare feet touches the cold wooden floor.“What on earth is going on? Where am I… and what have happened to me? What happen to.... me?” I said but ended up feeling this sudden chill that crawl up to my body, that is where I suddenly remember what happened to me. My wounds, the blood an
The man look at me then smiles making my face burns because he looks really handsome when he smiles. He reminded me of my dear brothers and it makes me yearn to see them. He reminds me most specially to my most reliable brother Roven. They have this cold type character but having a playful side that is catching to some.“Hi Miss, the name is Hawie Vancov but I am well known as Wei. You must be very UNLUCKY to be with this fool. So, what can we call you, pretty Miss?” Wei said as he grins towards Leo who suddenly clinches his fist, I worriedly look at Leo hoping he is still keeping his cool.“Ri- Rianne, My name is Rianne but just call me Riri and nice to meet you Mr. Wei.” I said trying to break this icy aura coming from both male that is suffocating me.Wei look at me looking so surprised and impressed while I just look at him trying to be my normal self.“What a dazzling, mysterious and brave woman…… quite charming to. Say Leo, where have you meet such lady? I am hoping if I can get
Leo looks at me then he sigh and rubs the back of his head. He closes his eyes as if he is recalling some painful memories. He leans on the wooden wall and then looks at the floor as he crosses his arms on his chest.“Wei and I used to be friends since we were young. His father and my father are used to be friends so we grew up together and trained together. But.... because of my father, Wei lost his family and the honor of their father; he is the only one who survived but still running away from my father. Wei became our greatest enemy and he vowed to destroy my father. We became enemies since his group always attacks my father’s traveling mercenaries.” Leo said and I feel so sad about what happen to Wei’s family but I don’t think Leo is at fault.“O- Oh I see, didn’t you... like explain to him that it all was a misunderstanding?” I ask as I look at him.“What is the difference… he lost his family. He has the right to be angry and… I am also ashamed and confused. The truth about his f
Leo still looks at me when I came out of the room. I am still combing my wet hair using my fingers as he look at me as if he is looking at a mirror.“Where did you get those clothes? I mean…… those aren’t the clothes the inn keeper has given to me.” Leo asks as I shove my wet long hair into my side.“All my clothes and the one I changed into suddenly disappeared. Didn’t the young man say that Mr. Wei wants me to wear some clothes he has prepared and the young man left me? Apparently, it is this.” I said as I look at my outfit.“I- I see.” Leo said as he looks at me with this suddenly red face and he looks as if he is thinking about something.“Why? What is wrong? Are the clothes looking bad at me, I mean… are they not pretty?” I utter as I check my clothes.“No... no it’s perfect. You look so pretty in it.” He said as he looks away as if he doesn’t want to look at me in the eyes.Something is wrong with him and I can see it. It is as if he remembers something that suddenly upsets him.
Lana looks at me as she drinks her tea while Flora is talking with Leo. I glance at them and seeing their happy faces I immediately look away after feeling this certain sting in my heart. I then look around the room to see Vlash silently glancing at Flora then looking away towards the window. I got this feeling that Vlash is also in love with Flora…… how complicated is that?“So… Riri you made other friends? That is truly amazing and worrying at the same time. I am just glad you are fine now.” Lana said making me look at her.“A-ah yes, the adventurers are quite nice I thought they are like those bunch of men who don’t give respect to a woman but it appears that they are nice despite their scary looks. I don’t like how they all look at me though.... I hate too much attention being on me.” I said as I take my cup of tea as Lana look at me with a smile.Lana and the others return after a few hours when Leo and I return to the room. When I speak to Lana she explained me many things. One i
Vlash and I are too silent as we descend the stairs; Vlash is silently following behind me making me so nervous and uncomfortable at the same time. When we turn to walk pass by the dining area where Wei meet us and blocks my path Vlash just stand behind me watching and waiting for any threat. “Hello my new sister Riri, you remember your promise? Who is the new bodyguard?” Wei said jokingly at me making me sigh in relief.The silence between me and Vlash is killing me. It is nice to have someone who can make the atmosphere lighter. I smile as I look at Wei; I glance back at Vlash to see him calmly looking at Wei as he stands behind me. Well, at least he is not acting like Leo the other day.“Ahmnn this is Vlashmere, Vlash this is ahmnn Hawei Vancov. I- I think I have to take a bath first before we can go out like we have planned to. Can I?” I said as I look outside the open door of the inn.“I heard you say that so take this as a gift. I heard you are leaving by tomorrow? Take care of
