You'll understand someday
Chapter 19 Cammi
Four days came and went and the sun rose from behind the hills shining directly through Lalaith's window and in her face. Lalaith however laid sprawled out in bed snoring like the angel she was when, BANG, BANG, BANG!
"Morning, Lalaith" said Cammi walking in the room.
In answer Cammi received a pillow in the face as Lalaith rolled over closing her eyes, okay so, Lalaith definitely wasn't a morning angel.
"Come on, Lalaith your going to miss breakfast"
"Breakfast" said Lalaith jumping out of bed.
"See you down there" said Cammi closing the door.
Walking around the room gathering what she'd need for today she thought about what her brother had said. So far she'd been free four days but she'd not sensed anything from any gummi, geez this task was more difficult than she first thought.
Emerging from the room a few minutes after Cammi had left fully dressed and carrying a small bag, which she slung over her shoulder she left the room and headed for the hall where she could smell breakfast being served.
Meloni sat at Cammi's side talking to him while he ate. She told him about the spell and how the potion was now complete. He seemed happy to hear the good news, as it was something that would hopefully rid him of Altanion. Finishing his breakfast he went about his duties but on the way bumped into Isabelle. She looked sad and unhappy; I wonder what's wrong he thought as he bent down to his sister's height.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing" she replied.
"Come on Isabelle, you look miserable"
"I want to help you"
"With what?"
"Altanion"
"What!...Sorry, kid"
"See, everyone says that, it's not fair!" she emphasized stamping her foot on the ground.
Cammi smiled and ruffled his sisters hair, "You'll understand someday" he said walking away.
Lalaith sat munching on her breakfast deep in thought when suddenly she sensed what she'd been looking for. Jumping up from the table, breakfast forgotten she ran out of the hall attracting many of the gummi's attention.
Skidding into the hall she saw Cammi walking down the hall whistling and his sister Isabelle looking sad and annoyed.
Finally found you she thought as she looked at Isabelle. Walking away and towards her room she went to tell her brother, now she knew who she was looking for she could find them anytime.
Walking into her room, Lalaith sat down on her bed, then closing her eyes, she tried to focus on the Council above, blocking everyone's thoughts out of her head.
"Lalaith" she heard her brother say.
"Yes, it's me" she said "I found the gummi we were looking for"
"Good" she heard her brother say "Now all we can do is wait, until the time is right"
"Right for what, how can that child possibly help Cammi" she said
"Lalaith, you must understand, that even the smallest of things, can be of great help" said Tiliquentin.
"Yes, your right" she said "But how can she help him"
"You shall see, all in good due time" he said.
"Tiliquentin, you know how I hate being left in the dark"
"All the more reason, not to tell you" he said somewhat amused.
"Tiliquentin" she said her tone dangerously low.
"Lalaith, the child will know what to do when the time is right" he said.
Lalaith nodded, and having nothing more to say was about to leave when her brother stopped her.
"Lalaith" he said "We want you to bring Cammi soon to join us, in this meeting"
"It's….the sword, isn't it" she said.
"Yes, Lalaith, and now I must go, and please try to stay out of trouble" he said.
"Tiliquentin" she roared.
Nothing was heard in reply accept for silence, and she threw herself on her bed, frustrated. All she could do now was wait, and she hated it.
