*************

Eragon couldn’t help but reciprocate, if he tries to stand f0rç£fully, Jung isn’t far yet, he might hear the sound and come back

He closed his eyes for some minutes as Lillie continued k!ss!nghim

When he s-en-sed Jung would have gone far, he broke the k!ssand stood abruptly

Lillie stood too with a wi-de smile

He turned to go but she hvgged her from behind

“Can’t you plea-se love me?* She said

Eragon stood still, unsure of what to say

He later unlocked her hands from his belly and faced her

“Let’s go home” he said and led the way

Lillie felt happy, t©uçhed herl-ips before picking her sword, following him behind

*********

Cole went back into the house, all we-t from the rain water but he doesn’t care

He made sure no one noticed when he pas-sed by the living room but unknown to him, Isla saw him

He went to one of the washrooms and let out his tears

She’s a girl he has loved since he started being friends with her, he just doesn’t want to throw a fast ball, that’s why he thought he should take it slow

But taking it slow is what’s implicating him right now

He cried and his nose watered as he did

Someone entered the washroom, he tried to wash off his tears but Isla held him before he could have the chance

She f0rç£fully made him face her

Her eyes wi-de-ned when she saw his face

“Cole why are you crying ?, Why are you like this huh?” She demanded, staring de-eply at him

He continued crying and it’s choking, the words are choking him so much that he found it ha-rd to speak

“Cole why the tears!” She half yelled, feeling hurt as his tears continued flowing

“She…. Diamond…she …she rejected me for…. Eleven, he’s the one he loves..I ..I caught them k!ssing…at the backdoor balcony” he said in a muffled tone

Isla looked at him for a while before wiping his tears with her palms

But it kept falling and she has no choice but to hvg him to make him feel consoled

She kept patting him as she did

“Cole, you really don’t know what we call fate?, If fate wants you to be together, then no one can st©p it, but if it says you can’t be together, then you can’t be, that’s exactly what’s happening here, Diamond is not for you so you just have to do your best to forget her, you have to do that with all the might you have, kill your love for her and you’ll find yourself getting ok” Isla said as he cried on her shoulder

” It’ll be ha-rd , I love her so much” he replied

“I know, I un-derstand, but you can’t do anything when she’s in love with Eleven, so you’re the one who nee-ds to kill your feelings Cole”…

*********

Eleven suddenly stepped back,

Diamond looked up at him, smiling

He found it ha-rd to look her in the face again, he rushed in

Diamond smiled and took in herl-ips

“bu-tter!” She said happily , going in

Eleven is not in the dinning

Likewise Isla and Cole

Only Iris who’s now in the living room, watching movie

“Where could those two be?” She asked herself as she took her seat

Kingston is still chatting with Carson and Skylar and he kept laughing

It got Carson and Skylar looking surprised

“Diamond, what happened to your brother when I traveled to Poland?” Skylar asked surprisingly

” What?, Nothing?” Diamond replied

“What she meant by that question is that your grumpy franking brother had been laughing and smiling since, why?, Did someone inject him with some laughter serum?” Carson said

Diamond laughed out loud

” Even I am surprised, he started laughing yesterday since he found out about Eleven” Diamond said

” Oh wow!, That was unexpected, but it’s cool to find one’s family anyways..but all the same, it’s strange to see him laugh, maybe because I’ve never seen him laugh before” Skylar said

“that reminds me, guy you were right about Eleven, I mean, he knows everything about medical, when I made to teach him the basics, can you believe he’s the one saying everything instead and I’m doing the staring,more like I turned the student and he turned the lecturer, I’ve never been so flabberg@sted all my life” Carson said

” It’s worth it, I told you” Kingston replied proudly

*Look at him being c0cky” Skylar said and they all laughed again

Isla c@m£ out of the washroom and walked up to Diamond

“Hey you nee-d to lend me one of Eleven’s shi-ts, Cole nee-ds to change, he’s all we-t from the rain” she said

” Really?, Why will he go inside the rain?” Diamond said, getting up

” Just lend me the shi-t first, he’s dying of cold” Isla said

Diamond rushed upstairs to the first room, Kingston’s room

She digged into his closet and picked a jean and an hoodie

She went back downstairs

“It’s Kingston’s though, he should be fine, where is he?” Diamond asked worriedly

” In the washroom,but don’t worry, he’ll be fine, we’ll be out in a jiffy” Isla said and left hurriedly with the clothes

” Why will he enter the rain?” Diamond wondered as she sat again

Isla gave Cole the clothes and stayed out so he’ll dress up

He c@m£ out changed and they went back to the living room together

The time is past nine and the rain st©pped alre-ady

Carson and Skylar are alre-ady prepared to leave when they got back to the living room

“Cole are you fine?, Why will you enter the rain?, Are you an idiot?” Diamond said

She placed her hand on his forehead to feel his temperature but he took it away

“Are you ok?, You don’t look good” she said

“I’m fine, thanks” he replied simply

” We’re leaving !* Skylar announced, interlocking her f!ngerswith Carson’s f!ngers

“I’ll see you off” Kingston said, standing up

“We’re leaving too” Isla said, holding Cole by the arm

“I’ll see you guys off to the car” Diamond said

“That won’t be necessary dear, see ya in school tomorrow” Isla said and quic-kly left with Cole right after Carson left with Skylar

“Why is Cole and Isla behaving strange?” Diamond Wondered

” Maybe because Cole is not really ok but he said he’s ok” she thought

” Oh!, And Eleven, he hasn’t come out of his room” she said and climbe-d upstairs

Kingston c@m£ back from esc-rting Skylar and Carson

He met Iris still in the living room, her eyes is still glued to the TV, the movie must be really interesting

“Hey pie” he said, sitting beside her

“You’re done chatting with your friends, ignoring me” she said, jealousy obvious in her voice

“Are you jealous?, They’re my friends, should I ignore them?” He said jokingly

She faced him

” You should have been talking to us together then I won’t feel lonely for the past two hours, I almost ate twenty tamarinds and I’ve been watching TV since forever…is this how you treat a girl who’s in love with….

She st©pped there, realizing what she’s about to say

“In love with who?” Kingston asked curiously

“I won’t tell!” She snapped and quic-kly ran upstairs

Kingston smiled, jealousy fits her

“But she’s on love with who?” He thought…

****************

Isla drove Cole home and dropped him right in front of his house

“Thanks” he muttered before coming out of the car

She saw his phone on the seat he just stood up from

She took it and went out of the car

“Cole!”

He looked back

“Your phone” she said, pointing it at him

“Oh” he c@m£ back and took it from her

” Thanks once again” he said

“Yea, goodnight, and make sure you don’t get sick” she waved as he went in

She entered her car and sighed

She felt her che-st

“Why do I feel so sad for him?” She muttered

************

“I’m off to somewhere” Aurora said Immediately Lillie entered her room this morning

“your pains st©pped when we c@m£ back last night, at past twelve, I figured it out that you’ll be resting and I don’t want to disturb you , that’s why I never bothered to come” Lillie replied

” It’s ok, but I’m dying, the blood I lost yesterday can fill up a drum, if the pains continue like this, I’m afraid I’ll die” she said

” You can’t, we’ll soon find the daughter of the Phoenix” Lillie said though de-ep down in her heart, it’s contradictory to what she’s saying

“That’s why I’m going to milady the old witch, I’ll ask her to trail the whereabout of the daughter of the Phoenix for me” she replied

” That’ll be better” Lillie replied as she esc-rted her out

Aurora mounted the chariot and it rode away

Lillie smiled, reminiscing about the k!ssearlier as her eyes wi-de-ned

“I turned twenty today!, How can I forget my birthday myself, oh my God!” She shouted before rushing in

” The ramp@n-t stomach ache I usually get, it hasn’t come today… maybe because it’s still very early…or because it’s respecting today as my birthday…it better not come” she thought

She entered the kitchen and decided to make tea for her dad see if he remembers too

She took the cu-p and almost immediately, it fell off her hand, shattering into pieces

“Oh no, my favorite cu-p” she said

She bent down, forgetting it can hurt, she picked up one of the pieces and it pierced throu-gh her f!nger

“Oh no!” She whimpered as something shocking happened..

********

“Welcome to my abode your highness” milady said as Aurora took her sit in her old ancient parlour, milady has lived for thousand years so she’s just… should we say immortal?

“I’m here for….

“to inquire about the daughter of the Phoenix?, I alre-ady know you’re coming here immediately you woke up this morning and I know what you’ll be coming for so don’t be scared your highness” the old witch said

” You’re indeed a witch” Aurora said, looking away

” Tell me what I c@m£ looking for” Aurora said

“The daughter of the Phoenix, or should I say daughters of the Phoenix?” Milady said

” What are you talking about?” Aurora said

“Who knows?, I know what you want to know but the heavens didn’t give me the permission to say it out yet, else I’ll be punished, you’ll have to find out yourself or wait for a month or two months” milady said

“you have guts milady, just spit it out alre-ady!” Aurora said, getting angry

” Do you know my punishment if I say it now?, I’ll be bestowed with blindness and I can’t take that….wait for two a month or months before I can say anything, it might not be even up to that, just wait” milady said

Aurora sighed before standing up

“Guards!!!” She called

Her guards rushed in

“Talk or die, ion care if you lose your sight!” Aurora demanded

“no” milady replied defiantly

” Kill her” she ordered her guards but before a wi-nk, Milady vanished…

***********

As Lillie’s blue blood fell on the broken cu-p, it c@m£ back together as one right in front of her

She’s more than shocked

She has never seen anything of this sort all her life

And as if that’s not enough, right in front of her,the wound on her f!nger healed up Immediately

Her eyes wi-de-ned as she started shaking

“My blood?, Blue?, Brou-ght back together a broken cu-p?, My wound healed?…. it’s not… possible” she mumbled before falling on the ground, she pas-sed out immediately…

TBC…
