90 She's Here 1

"Do I have some contagious disease for you to be so far away from me?" Li Wei ask.

His actually on the other end of the bench!

"You have your personal space. I have mine." He replied.

Before he could sighed in relief. Li Wei close their distance.

He looked at her. And

She looked at him. Staring at him with her beautiful eyes.

Liu Qing would never tell that his heart is beating fast because of her.

"What?"

"Nothing." Li Wei smiled.

"Then stop staring at me." Liu Qing looked away. Trying not to blush in front of her.

"Tonight, you make it kinds hard not to stare."

Shock. His eyes darted towards her. She was still looking at him with mirth in her eyes.

"Did someone tell you that you're handsome? Especially that your face is showered by the moonlight. You look like a real diety." Li Wei said and distance herself again.

Liu Qing watch her, looking extremely disappointed in his heart.

"Meimei must have told you my story." She said matter of factly.

Her face once again created a peaceful expression. It was almost like an illusion.

"I know what you were from the beginning. I could smell the blood. You were born to spill blood, like it was an addiction."

"Don't call it addiction...I'm not fine at all. She was my mother...well, I thought she was until I saw our family painting in an abandoned room and Meimei telling me the truth. The Queen train me to be strong, to be cold-hearted and merciless. I did what she wanted me to do. At least in the surface. I can't just do it. Killing everyone with a reason. Because of that...she curse me. I betrayed her, you know. I must had really hurt her.

"I escape because she wanted to kill me."

Liu Qing remain silent. He listen intently. As her sweet lips leave every words.

"It doesn't matter. It's all in the past now." He said, trying to comfort her.

Li Wei shook her head.

"It matters if the past keeps haunting you.I know she's coming for me. Liu Qing, can you do me a favor?"

"What favor?"

"If that time comes. Can you protect my friends...? Thank you very much." Li Wei stood up and bowed towards him. After that, without waiting for his answer, she left Liu Qing staring at her back. She left with the aura of desolation around her.

**********

Li Wei toss and turn from her bed. Her forehead knitted, beads of sweat forming.

She was watching. The sky's turning black. Black thunders started roaring like an electricity going out of control as a black hole appeared in the sky.

Suddenly, green vines dash towards her, wrapping its thorny vines in her waist. With a 'whoosh' Li Wei was suck in the the black hole never to return again.

Li open her eyes and wipe the sweat on her forehead as she sat up.

"What does that dream mean? Is it warning me that the Queen is coming? But I'm still not strong. I'm not her opponent yet." She mumbled.

Her heart grew more nervous at the thought.

Li Wei put on her an outer robe to cover her out of this world dress.

It was a cold morning. Others are not still awake yet but Li Wei started to train herself.

Whenever she made a mistake, she always hit her head. Exasperation, anxious. She was feeling different kinds of emotion.

She was afraid. Afraid that when the Queen gets here. She'll hurt her friends. Or worst, kill them. Queen Azillah is vicious but her attendant Ora is more evil.

She was the most malicious person I've ever known. Ora, was the only person that keeps me alarm every time I met her in the kingdom. She has that different vibe. Danger.

She's more dangerous than the Queen herself.

The sun creeps into the horizon. Meimei and the girls exit their chambers while yawning. Just like them, the boys also left their room. However, this men has already done their morning routine. That is, bathing.

Ye Sa walked towards Meimei, guarding her. Meimei scowl.

Everyone of them goes with the same direction. To Li Wei's room. But before they could reach her room. They saw Li Wei drench in sweat practicing her spearmanship.

She was focus that she didn't even notice their presence. Her expression tense and solemn.
