Second Chance

"You!..." 

"You're alive!?" Everyone except Austin gasped in disbelief. Blessing stood up from her seat in pure excitement. 

"Did you want me to die? Because you don't  seem happy to see me" His eyes were a bit rougher than the last two days she saw him. He reeked of blood, even his face coated with blood. He darted his eyes around the room as if searching for something…rather someone.

"She's upstairs in your second…" Anastasia answered. Kamala nodded, but something heavy sat on his heart. He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

"I'll freshen up and come back" he mumbled, more like to himself and ascended the stairs. The room became dead silent, as if waiting for a judge to pass his sentence.

"I do. But, you owe me an explanation" 

"Sure my queen" he grinned.
