Back To you

"Then why don't the citizens of Peril know all these?!" Sandie nearly yelled!

She drove herself and Hang to the house she once shared with LiLi, telling him to make sure he locks the bar before proceeding out and into the car.

On the way, Hang told her everything he knew about Peril and Perilous.

Let's take a look at their discussion, shall we?

"So, you're trying to tell me that Peril and Perilous are two different places but Perilous is more dangerous?" Sandie asks

"Dangerous and that's where the real Eartheneous happens. Perilous is the capital of Peril and by capital, I mean... "

Hang turned to Sandie but she kept her gaze fixed on the road as she controlled the steering wheel.

"Perilous rules Peril, from the land to the sky. The ruler of Peril is Perilous"

Sandie stopped abruptly making Hang to lean forward in a sudden act.

She stepped out of the car, making sure Hang follows behind closely. When they were in the house, she spoke up.

"Then why don't the citizens of Peril know all these?!"

"Because it's a high kept secret. Needs to be kept confidential without disclosure"

"How can I trust you? How am I to know that you aren't telling me lies?!"

"By not yelling at me but listening to what I have to say very carefully... Duh?!"

Sandie rolls her eyes and folded her arms across her chest, impatiently.

"Perilous is the main founder of Peril and whether you like it or not, it rules Peril. The only difference between Peril and Perilous is just that the fertility of Peril is to a minimum, and also that the so-called Eartheneous that we call here, is triple times what we see, in Perilous."

Sandie stares at him. Speechless.

"Then why didn't you tell her all these?" Sandie asks calmly, reducing her voice because she is tired of all the yelling.

"Because I know she won't listen to any of it!"

Hang bounces on the cushion and Sandie stare at him closely, hearing what he is saying.

"Even if I try to sacrifice my life and tell her to not go she won't listen! Why, because it's her father's land... "

"Do you know she is the Daughter of Milano?" Sandie asks, interrupting his angry moment.

Hang stared at Sandie speechless. He has been dating a girl that is the daughter of Milano, someone who has died but is still honoured every year, on a specific day.

He'd say Sandie is drunk if she had taken little or just a sip of that drink called "Genes".

What the son of my Lord!

He stares at Sandie and thinks over what she just said.

"Did you drink before coming to look for me"

Sandie swallowed her saliva hard in anger and leaned over to Hang as she placed her palms on the desk.

"No. But I did drink your lips when I started talking to you... No! I didn't drink anything before coming here!" she almost yelled.

"How do you know that?" Hang's time to ask questions

"Umm... Hello? I am her roommate. Isn't it already obvious that LiLi can only keep her mouth shut when she's asleep?"

Hang nearly laughed, but instead, he let out a chuckle.

"Are you slandering her?" He ask

Sandie smirks lightly as she leans forward again.

"No... Just trying to make you know that your ex got someone that knows everything about her, more than her ex does"

Hang really felt the need to know more about the suspicious acts of this lady. She seems so familiar.

That's... Her character.

"Is there time for us to follow her?" Sandie asks and Hang shook his head.

"She is already in Perilous" He replies staring into the eyes of Sandie sadly.

This is so not good, Sandie thought

****

I paced back and forth and questioned myself why all of them didn't even move an inch from that place today.

They said they'd rest a little and that little is the whole day now. Hope you guys have a good night rest!

Little...

The only people awake are I, Leo and Felicity. Felicity is trying hard to sleep why I and Leo are far off from them. I am on the left side while he is on the right hand side, but a bit farther.

I can't bring myself to apologize to him, I don't even remember what I did. I know, It's kinda rude of me but what do you want me to do?

"Umm... Hmm-hmm" I clear my throat, practicing what I will say to him when I get to him tonight.

"Leo... I am very sorry for all that happened, can you forgive me?" And then, do the puppy eyes!

Argh! That's a bad plan! We'll always remain apart, I know it!

Leo is on the field by the right side and he, also is practicing what he will tell LiLi.

Practice makes perfect, right? he reasoned.

"LiLi, I know I have been a very bad person by not coming to talk to you but... I was just a bit mad with the way you... No!"

He lost his words and sat on the ground roughly.

"What has this girl done to me?!" he asked himself aloud and held his black, short and shiny hair with his hand backwards as he sighed.

"LiLi... What have you done to me?"

I have to go to him. Settle this and make my heart to stop panicking whenever I see him. I just have to do this whether I like it or not.

I stand up from the ground, dust my dress and then turn around and...

"Arg-!" My yell was placed on an abrupt pause when his hand flew to my mouth so that I won't scream to wake the others.

It's Leo. Has he been watching me practice? Damn! I really need to find somewhere where I can have privacy!

"Wh-What are you doing here?" I ask when his hand finally leaves my mouth.

"I came to see you" he says gently and his eyes penetrate through me and even pierce into my heart dearly.

"Oh... I... I wanted to come see you too" I say silently and we stare at each other again.

"I'm sorry" he whisper, not staring into my eyes and I just stare.

"I should be the one to apologize. I can be mean sometimes and... And I really feel like a scum when I do that to you. Can you... "

Argh!

"Forgive me" I say not staring into his eyes but on the ground.

"Forgive you? Are you trying to tease me, Princess?" he asks as he walks to me slowly.

Here we go again.

"Here we go. Leo, I think you're back right?"

"I think that's the first time you have called me by name" he said as he stood inches away.

"No. I have called your name a couple of times" I say and he smirks stubbornly.

"Are you sure? Cause it feels like this is the first time" he say and I just roll my eyes playfully.

"And yeah... I am back to you"
