All About Runes: Chapter 5

Everybody in the room was suddenly silent except for the squeals of the child Hugo for his best friend, Lulu. Some of them were shocked of the arrival of yet another supposedly deceased. Some were scared, haunted by the past. Some of them were merely staying silent because everybody was.

Chris was one of those who were scared. She felt numb all over and she had the desperate need to turn back and run away forever. She wanted to cry and talk to the child. Yet all she could do was to back away a step and gasp. Her knees suddenly felt weak and she felt like they couldn't stand for long. Percival, who was nearby and saw this, immediately stood behind the lady and stood guard.

Lulu, who was distracted by the movement, faced Chris and smiled.

"Hello!" He greeted with a smile.

Chris' eyes widened, and the other knights were shocked. For some reason, the child Borus also backed up behind her and clutched at her leg. 'What does he mean by that?...Is he mocking me?!' Chris frowned.

Lulu closed his eyes. "I know what you're thinking Lady Chris. And I forgive you. I too, will apologize, because I know that it was partly my fault for what happened to me. I was merely initiated by my overwhelming feelings, as were you. I also understand that there was enchantment involved. But it is all explained to me. I already understand everything. So maybe you should forget everything that happened in the past and start over."

Chris looked away.

"Hey, I know it's hard too you know. Talking with somebody who...uhm...ahem!...anyway, let's just start all over." Lulu walked towards Chris, and surprised her by tiptoeing and hugging her.

After Lulu let go, Chris was still in a state of shock. As was her knights and everybody else in the room.

"See? That was a peace offering. Karayan stuff. Although I'm sorry if I still call you people ironheads...it's a habit...hehe" Lulu said sheepishly.

After a short moment of silence, Chris finally spoke up.

"I'm really...sorry. But..." Chris smiled. "Thanks. Let's start over."

Everybody in the room finally relaxed. Before long, somebody broke the ice.

"Ok then...uhm...when are we gonna start the baby-sitting?" Scarlette asked.
