I heard the soft padding noise of someone coming towards me, the footsteps stopped and I sat up slowly trying not to make the springs of the bed groan. I reached over to the marble slab that I used for a bedside table but my fingers didn’t close around the hilt of Nephira. I clutched at the air still but Nephira’s hilt did not reach my hand. I felt something warm slip into my grasp and by the texture of it I knew it was someone’s hand I gently gave and soft squeeze then I clamped down on it with all my strength and I heard a few tiny bones snap and break. I heard the person scream then I pulled down hard on its hand and put a light ball near its face. Standing there was Cairo, the wind village’s Romeo.
“Cairo? What the hell are you doing here?” I hissed.
“I came to see you Miss. Lullaby,”
“In the middle of the night?”
“Sorry but Nikko was guarding you all day I could only come at night,”
“You disturb my meditation time Cairo it’s as close as I can get to sleep and you disturbed it I won’t be able to meditate for a few hours now” I said in a flat uncaring tone.
“Sorry Miss. Lullaby, I will go” he gently kissed me on the forehead.
I grabbed his wrist. “Let me fix this for you,” I gently kissed his hand and I heard all the bones line up and slam together. “There”
He pulled his wrist from my grasp and waggled his fingers. He looked satisfied, he took a few steps away bowed then kept going. Stupid simpletons they don’t even know that I don’t meditate I’m way to hyperactive for that. But they didn’t know that…yet. I silently got up and tiptoed to Felicity’s room. Urichia the earth village’s Romeo was standing by her room. I grabbed his shoulder and flung him backwards into the wall. He groaned but I knew he wasn’t hurt…much. “Shut up, drama queen” I hissed then I continued to walk into Felicity’s room. “Fel, it’s me Ali,”
“Ali, I hate it here Urichia thinks he is my boyfriend I miss Danny I want him back!” she wailed. I heard someone gasp and I whirled around just in time to see Urichia’s eye disappear. I stormed out the door and grabbed him by the shoulder then spun him around so I could see his face. “What did you hear!” I demanded.
“Nothing, Nothing I swear!”
I raised my fist as if to punch but when it was centimetres from his face I lifted my index finger and moved my hand from side to side.
“Urichia Guriano, you heard nothing and you definitely did not hear Felicity Sorrow and Aliss Lullaby talking about the forbidden world.” He nodded once then I let go of his shoulder and he slumped to the ground.
