Hey, everybody! The next chapter is finally here! I hope you enjoy it! This could get messy...
Even with the two burly looking gaurds holding Jellal's arms down, Loke and I still kept our ground. We hadn't found Leona yet, and just decided she'd show up on her own. We left Leon with Levy. Didn't want him to have to deal with his parents' drama, you know? Loke still acted like he was angry at me. I didn't see why. I just wanted what was best for our family.
It was horribly quiet in the Guild Hall. I stared straight in Jellal's eyes. Loke glared at Jellal so hard, I expected lasers to shoot from his eyes. I gestured for the gaurds to leave us be. They looked at me uncertainly, but left the Guild Hall.
"Tell me again why I'm here?" Jellal asked, bored. I frowned deeply at the man who caused Loke and I so much pain. He killed my ex-fiancee. I couldn't forgive him for that. "Our daughter. Something is up with her, and we feel you have something to do with it." Jellal raised his eyebrow. "What are you talking about, Kano?" He asked me with scorn. "I didn't know you even had a daughter."
"Liar!" Loke blurted angrily. "You know everything about us! Don't give us that bull sh*t!"
"Loke..." I muttered, trying to get him to calm down. I really didn't need him going all anry gorilla on Jellal right now. We needed answers.
"Does the name Rika ring any bells?" I asked him. Jellal looked up at the ceiling in deep hought. Then he turned to me and shook his head. "I know nothing of any Rika." I gave a sideways glance at Loke, who looked about ready to burst. "Rika is my daughter's imaginary friend. She's been acting strange ever since, and we thought that you had something to do with it.
Jellal paused, staring at me through his cold, dark eyes. Then he actually smirked, then chuckled. Finally, he let out a laugh. "You must be kidding me!" He guffawed. I stared at him in shock. Did he seriously have the nerve to laugh? Loke seemed to have had enough. "This is ridiculous." He seethed. "Mikayla, he knows something, and he won't tell us what. This is really startring to get frustrating." I sighed in resignation. He had a point. I wanted to do a little mind reading, but that didn't work. Jella just blocked me out. This was getting tiring. "Okay, so maybe you don't know. What about-"
The door to the Guild Hall swung open. We all turned to see who was there. Leona came in, looking sweet and innocent. Loke clenched his jaw. I balled my hands into fists. Leona came to the table we were at and casually plopped down. "Whatcha doin?" She asked with her usual curiosity. Her gaze fell to Jellal and she smiled. "Hi!" She said, holding out her hand. "I'm Leona! What's your name?" Jella reached out to shake her hand, but Loke grabbed his arm.
"Don't even think about touching my daughter." He growled. Jellal grinned and pulled back. "I'm Jellal. A friend of you mama and daddy." Loke snorted like that was the biggest joke he ever heard. Leona cocked her head. "I remember you!" She said. "Mama told me all about you. She said you were a mean guy with no soul." Jellal turned to me and gave me a meaningful glance. I felt a tad embarrased, but shook it off.
After a few more minutes of trying to get answers, we gave up. It was obvious he knew nothing. Leona said goodbye to Jellal. Almost like he was a good friend to her. The thought made me shudder.
Thanks for reading! Major stuff coming up soon, so stay tuned. Sorry these chapters are so short, I'm just working on another story too. But at least I can multitask!
