Chapter 4
Zephyr's POV
Nilo was very quiet on the way to Sweet Home. I was starting to worry about her.
"We are almost there. Just past the guild and to the right."
Silence.
What did I say? She was fine before I said...my name. She doesn't know about my past does she? No. How would she?
I led her to the apartment and faced a very angry Leanne. Turns out I had been late for dinner because I helped out Nilo.
"And who is this?!" Leanne yelled. Honestly I wont be able to hear anything soon with her screeching yells.
"Leanne, this is Nilo. She was attacked in an alley and doesn't have a home." Just like I thought, Leanne's cold, angry demeanor changed to one of warmth and welcome. She couldn't resist someone in need of help.
"Oh I'm so sorry! Who were they? We can take them out if you want." OK that's weird. Leanne still hates killing so why would she say that?
Oh! She sees herself in Nilo. Heh. She thinks this girl is as weak and defenseless as she was when we trained her.
"No. that's fine really. Th...Zephyr, already took care of them." She corrected herself.
"I was hoping I could stay here if it's alright with you." Nilo continued.
"Oh of course it is! But just who are you?!" A snarky voice rang out from the couch.
"I'm Nilo. And you are?"
"Vashyron. Its a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Now what are you doing here on level four?" He asked. Nilo looked blank for a minuet. Then her face hardened. She turned on her heel and started to walk out the door.
"Hey wait! What's going on here?" I Yelled after her glaring at Vashyron.
"This is not who you think it is." Vashyron's voice rang with a deadly undertone.
"Well then who is SHE!" I yelled back.
"I'm the one sent to kill the Bedeviled on once and for all!" Nilo Screamed. With that she takes out a small handgun and fires three rounds into my chest. I heard Leanne scream, Vashyron Yelling profanities and Nilo laughing maniacally. The pain in my chest was unbearable and I soon surrendered to the dark void awaiting me.
