Lina looked up at him and saw him gazing at her, she suddenly felt shy and stood up to take her leave.
The night was quiet, lonely, and cold. Lina intentionally left the windows open, her mind seemed to be in chaos, she was thinking to much at the same time.
Sleep was far away from her, she had already packed her bags and that of Talia, since Lyle said they would be leaving the next day. She sat on her bed thinking of the outcome of the battle but in every way she viewed it, it was going to shed blood and be disastrous.
Lina was so immersed in her thoughts, that she did not know when the day broke, the sun shone to it’s fullest causing her to yawn. She quickly came down and took her bath.
She wore an off shoulder black top and a black jean, since she was in love with the black on black outfit, she was always dressed in it. She reached for her baby pink lipstick and applied it carefully on her lips, using the eye pencil she outlined her lips perfectly.
She took the mascara and did some effects on her lashes and finally the eyeliner, which she applied on her eyes. She then packed her silver hair into low ponytail and doing some edges with her front hair.
She was going to look new today, extra beautiful, she was pleased and satisfied with her handwork, her look was magnificent
“You look beautiful” Talia complimented as she rose from the bed, “thank you so much” Lina smiled at her
Karen went round the house to check if was properly locked up, since everyone was leaving, she needed to double check the house, finally they were ready to go and the vehicles came to pick them up.
They drove to the open city of Nevera, a beautiful sight to behold. The humans activities were as usual busy, only if they knew what was going to befall them. They seemed to drive from the busy city, to a lonely road, their vehicles were the only ones on the road. The vehicles came to a stop and everyone alighted from it.
They seemed to have stopped in the middle of nowhere, there was no building, no single soul nor anything. Lina looked curious to know where they were and where they were going to
“Follow me” Lyle instructed and without complaining everyone followed him, he opened a tunnel which seemed to lead to an underground building.
The lights were brightly on as the large space inside came into view, “we would be staying here” Lyle spoke and everyone seemed to be in daze
“Lyle, how do you intend us staying here?” Peres asked, he was displeased and he showed it.
“Lucian, go and get the tents” Lyle instructed completely ignoring the unhappy Peres.
In no time, Lucian was back with the tents as instructed, Lyle had gotten everyone their own tents and he instructed that the warriors set it up for them
“Emmm, Lyle, if I may ask, how do we take our bath?” Pearl asked and Lyle glanced at her there is a bathroom and a toilet at the end of this underground building, that where we would take our bath” Lyle replied and his response did not go down well with Pearl
What could she do anyways? It was just a matter of time. The place became silent as the warriors finished setting up the tents, and everyone went into one tent or the other
“Lina, do you mind if I can share with you?” Talia asked “of course, I was even going to ask you to join me” Lina replied while caressing her hair, well that did not go unnoticed by Lyle.
Hours later, after everyone had settled down and picked a tent, Lyle entered Lina’s tent and found her playing chess with Talia. Lina noticed Lyle’s presence in her tent, she looked up at him, watching him sit and lean on the tent walls.
He was gorgeous as always, “your highness, I think you are at the wrong tent” Talia spoke up first, Lyle looked at the little girl before Lina
“Seems like you and her have bounded really much huh?” He asked causing Lina to be thrown off balance ‘was he kidding her? Since when did Lyle become this jovial?’
“She is a nice person” Talia smiled while she spoke “so you guys are playing chess” Lyle continued
“Not actually, she is teaching how to play the game” Talia responded “how good are you?” Lyle asked Lina but he got no response
“I want to play with you” Lyle announced “alright” Lina could only agree.
The game began between them, Lyle was a master in it and so was Lina but Lyle was better. He watched her as she was calculating her next move, her eyes looked up and met his gaze and something in her was happy
Why was she happy? Was it because he was playing a game with her? Snap out of it Lina, she scolded herself internally.
Lyle suddenly stopped playing, he looked at wristwatch and a low hiss left his mouth. “Do not forget to block others from viewing this place” he reminded her
“Where are you going?” Lina asked when she saw him getting up “somewhere” he replied shortly, his usual expression returned and a flash of disappointment was seen on Lina’s face
“I would be back soon” Lyle said before he left.
