[Morning]
Kamila opened her eyes at the first ray of sunlight, she moaned softly as the pain on her back had subdued, but it's still bothering her. Taking in a few breaths, she turned her head and looked over at Kai, whom is still asleep.
He's leaning back onto a tree as well, half laid down. She looked at him and remembered the time when he leaned on Thgil, she had felt his warmth then, coming from inside him.
Moving over, she lightly brushed a strand of hair back from his face and looked at him. He's definitely one of the best looking guys that she has seen in a long while, no wonder Jana is so in love with him. The other day, when he saw that guy's grave... Tala, that's his name. When he saw Tala's grave, he looked sad, and thoughtful. What was he thinking then, was the sadness for his friend or for someone else?
A soft sigh came out, Kai slowly moved around and soon his eyes fluttered open, he starred straight into lavender eyes. Their eyes locked and time seemed to have stopped at that second, they just looked into each other's eyes, looking into their souls.
Soon, a smile appeared on her face, and playfulness entered her eyes. "What? Are you waiting for a morning kiss?"
Kai sat up quickly and just looked away, not bothering with her question. She shrugged and stood up to stretch a bit, then she looked at him and smiled. "Come on, we better get going."
With that, she walked forwards, Kai looked at her back and then stood up to follow her.
Just like that, they walked on in the deserted forest, both quiet, either of them is saying anything. After a while, Kamila breaks the silence.
"Did your tour guide John tell you the story about the witch and Thgil?" She asked and glanced at Kai out of the corner of her eyes.
"Yeah, why?"
"Did he tell you the punishment that Thgil put on that witch?" She asked, looking straight ahead.
"Punishment?" Kai asked her puzzled.
"I knew he wouldn't have known this, then let me continue on with the story." She said and then blinked, thinking of a way to tell him the continuation. "After that witch and her panther had been trapped within Thgil, Detnuah returned to normal, but what went on inside Thgil was unknown to most people. Of course, the witch didn't want to be trapped within Thgil forever, so Thgil made a deal with her... a spell if you want to call it. Thgil declaimed that 1000 years later, if there is a guy, no matter how old, no matter what race, came and touched the stoned Thgil, then the witch can be released. However, that has to be done on the 1000th year, anything before that, or anything after that, it won't work."
Kai looked at her, giving her his full attention, and she continued on. "If such a guy came along, and touched the stoned Thgil, the witch will be released. She will have the exact same look and age when she was first trapped within Thgil, which was about... 17 or so. So, that means that those 1000 years didn't leave any mark on her. Of course, there is a twist to the story. The twist is that the witch will then fall in love with the guy that touched the stoned Thgil, no matter how long it will take."
"Did that guy come yet?" Kai asked, curiously.
Kamila looked at him quickly, then looked back in front of her again, an unreadable expression on her face. "Yes... he did come, he's here already."
"Did the witch get out?"
"Yes, she did."
"Did she fall in love with him?"
Kamila paused a bit at the question, then smiled and tilted her head. "I don't know."
Kai looked over at her, something's so off about this girl. She saved them when she first met them, Diego, her panther, only listens to her. And here she is, telling him a continuation to the story that not even John knew. "How did you know that continuation?"
Kamila looked at him and shrugged. "I did beyond my homework, that's all."
Kai frowned, not believing her at all. He opened up his mouth, wanting to say something else, but she was faster than him.
"Hey, I think I see the exit, let's go!" She said excitedly, with a smile and then walked ahead, faster. Kai looked after her, confused, there're so many mysteries surrounding her. Picking up his pace, he caught up with her.
[Castle]
"Kai!" Jana yelled as she saw Kai and Kamila walking toward them from the direction of the forest, everyone else looked towards their direction. Without a second thought, Jana picked up her feet and broke into a run towards Kai, whom stopped walking. The rest of the group followed after her, running towards them.
Jana caught Kai in a bear hug as she got to him, which sent him stagger back a few steps, but regained his balance quickly. Kamila just looked at her with a smile, she's so in love with Kai, and is not afraid of showing it in the public eyes.
"Oh my God, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" Jana asked worriedly as she pulled away from Kai, and looked at him carefully from head to toe. Kai slightly pushed her away and looked at Kamila thoughtfully.
"I'm fine." Came his short reply.
Diego walked over to his mistress and licked her hand, she smiled and bent down to pat the panther's head.
"Oh my God! Kamila!" Another one of Jana's piercing scream cut through the air.
"Is that all she can say? I wonder where did Kai find a fiancee like her, let along actually letting her tag along with him." Tyson commented softly, and Max just looked at him.
"I heard that it's for the family. Voltare forced him into this engagement, or else it'll be with another girl, whom basically knows the bed of every single guy on the planet." Max said back.
"You'd think that Kai would at least fight back and tell Voltare that he doesn't want a fiancee... at least not someone like Jana. Seriously, I have trouble imagining their life together in the future." Kenny also joined in.
"I think.... after Aurora's departure, Kai's heart left with her as well." Ray added on softly.
"Kamila! You're hurt!" Jana yelled as she ran over to Kamila and looked at her back shocked and scared, the marks that the black bear had left behind are still visible and fresh.
"I'm okay." Kamila said and stood up quickly, pulling on her muscles at her back, she winced lightly and frowned.
"No, you're not! Let's get you inside! Hurry!" Jana ordered, and just dragged Kamila towards the inside. The Blade Breakers looked at each other and shrugged, they followed the two girls inside, with Diego trailing after them. Kai looked after them, then he turned towards the direction of the ocean.
Kamila walked on besides Jana, not listening to her complains about not taking care of herself. Slowly, she turned her head and made contact with Kai's eyes, she looked at him, his heart is clearly not over here, it's somewhere else already. Without a word, she turned her head back around and entered the house with the Blade Breakers after her.
[Kamila's Room]
"Wow, your room is so beautiful!" Tyson exclaimed and looked around wonderously.
"I think... it'd be better if everything in this room isn't black." Max commented and looked uncomfortably.
The whole room is black, from the wall paper to the counters, and even her huge bed is black as well. Kamila laid down on her bed on her stomach by Jana's order, since she can't lie on her back with her back condition. She titled her head to look at the group of people.
"Is it? I like the color black, keeps me calm." She brushed the comment off softly.
"It's a personal choice, whatever suits you." Ray said carefully, there's a strange vibe coming off her, something that he can't quite put his fingers on.
"Okay, enough! We should go out now, let Kamila get some rest!" Jana ordered with her hands on her hips, her eyes wide, glarring at everyone. They looked at each other and shrugged, then started to proceed towards the door.
"Take care Kamila." Kenny said as he walked out of the room last, following them downstairs to their own rooms. Jana looked after them, and then looked back down at Kamila, whoes eyes are closed, Jana smiled and pulled the cover up more.
"Asleep already? It must be really painful in the forest huh? Get some rest, and I'll check back on you later on." Jana said softly, and then tiptoed out of the room quietly as well.
The moment she shut the door, Kamila's lavender eyes snapped open. She looked at the blanket on her back, why is Jana so nice to her? Doesn't she know that she can easily steal Kai away?
With a sigh, she flung her sheets aside and walked out of her bed towards the windows. She looked down at the ocean and then she remembered something, pulling on her black boots, she opened up her window. Looking down and looking around, making sure that one sees her, she jumped down from her window and landed on the ground softly.
[Tala's Grave]
Kai stood there with strands of blue hair in his hand, looking at Tala's picture and his Wolborg in front of the grave.
"Were you very close to him?" A quiet voice rang out, Kai turned a bit and saw Kamila standing besides him.
"Not really... he used to be my friend, but something came up." He answered, before he left the Abbey, they have been best friends. The three of them have been best friends.
"A girl." She commented and looked down at the remaining blue hair on the grave.
"What?"
She picked up her eyes and looked at him. "You're missing a girl... she was here before, wasn't she?"
Kai looked at her, but didn't say anything. Kamila looked at Tala again, he's pale, but somehow, she found a trace of happiness in his eyes. Must be that girl.....
"She chose him, didn't she?" No answer came, she pressed on. "Where is she now? Why aren't you with her?"
Still, he didn't answer her, because he doesn't know the answer either. He just looked out at the ocean, Kamila looked at him then sighed, her hair blew in the wind. Slowly, she turned and faced him, seriousness in her eyes. Picking up her hands, she cupped his face in her hands and turned his face to her, he looked at her.
"Your face... is like frozen by ice, so cold, so distant, shutting out everyone. I really wish I can melt away the ice that is freezing your face." She said and looked over his features carefully, then reaching up with her right hand, she touched his eyelid softly and carefully.
"Yet your eyes... they hold sadness the amount of an ocean, why? What for? For whom? Yourself? Or that girl? I really wish... with that one brush of mine, I can brush away the sadness in your eyes, making your eyes look less lonely."
After a minute, he reached up a hand and gently placed it over the one on his face, she smiled and blinked. "Kai... do you know? That sometimes... letting go of a person is the best solution to everything."
Kai looked at her and listened to her words, letting go... forgetting... can he?
