Walking over to the window that overlooked the high mountains, the Lord added. “And why should I trust you? You let that little bitch slip away once already and once is enough. I have spent a millennium in this filthy place just to have one of your kind ruin my plans. Damn my brother and that child of Abraham.”
“Please,” Lyon begged scooting on his knees closer to the Shadowed figure. “I’ll prove to you, that my brother and I are useful. We have already come this far; we’ll not disappoint you again.” He glanced over his shoulder at his brother Jion, who hadn’t moved from where he stood by the door. His expression empty of pity. “Right Jion.”
Lowering his lashes, Jion spoke. “We will accomplish our mission for you Lord.”
The warlock walked over to their lords’ side, and placed a hand on the man’s shoulder. “You better, or I’ll send you back to the trash heap where I found you.” His imaged fizzled, before he and the warlock disappeared.
Lyon, released a curse shifting so he sat cross legged on the ground. Lifting his hand, he watched as it sizzled releasing the smell of burning flesh as it healed. “I didn’t think he’d actually pierce through my hand.”
His brother walked up behind him, “He won’t allow for another mistake, Lyon.”
“I know,” Lyon said, with a sigh crossing his arms, “he’s tensed because of what that witch possesses. If we can get it before him, surely we won’t have to answer to him like we’re dogs anymore.”
Jion didn’t answer, instead he patted his brother shoulder before turning to leave.
Lyon rose to his feet, grinning. “Right now, you’re in charge Lord, but know there’s always something new afoot.” He cackled as he disappeared from sight.
Sabina
Waking up the next morning, Sabina felt amazing in comparison to the days she’d spent in that underground prison. It had helped that the men left by Raijin had popped in to assure her of their presence.
Though Sabina couldn’t fight the sense of anxiety that kept popping up when she thought of Raijin. She wanted to see him,when was he coming back?
She was growing impatient. It was crazy, she hadn’t known the man long enough to feel so attached. And yet, every time she heard a noise near her door she eagerly looked u in hopes that it would be him walking through that door.
Her door opened with a bang pulling her from her worrisome thoughts. And she immediately opened her arms at the sight of her daughter.
“Mommy.”
“Kahlia.”
With a scream of excitement her daughter ran and jumped into her arms. Holding her daughter tightly, all her thoughts about Raijin, and her anxiety disappeared. Kahlia was safe, and in her arms.
“Mommy, I missed you.” Kahlia exclaimed.
She could only humm, as she rubbed her baby’s back. The smell of cocoa oil and sugar cookies filled her nose, and she hadn’t realized how much she’d missed her baby girl until the tears pricked the back of her eye lids. Releasing a sigh, she met her sisters warm stare with a thankful look. Her daughter rubbed her cheek against her shoulder.
Kahlia pulled back her eyes bright with happiness. Eyes that would never see the horrors Sabina had been forced to see. “How was your trip?” Her daughter asked, before her little brow creased, “Aunty L said you were clumsy for falling off a boulder, and getting stung by a jelly fish.”
Shooting Lanias an annoyed look, Sabina placed a hand on Kahlia’s head, “Ha-ha, yeah I was kind of clumsy, and my trip was—,” She trailed off, before she forced herself to smile brighter. “It was fun, I’m thinking of visiting a few of the people who went with me.”
Hearing this caused Kahlia to perk up. “Really? Can I go with you? I want to go.”
Laughing at her exuberance, Sabina clapped both her hands on her daughters cheeks and gently squeezed. Causing her daughter to not only stop hopping, but to look up at her with big eyes. “Well not this time, maybe next time you can come with me.”
Kahlia pouted, her lips pursing as her eyes narrowed. “But moms always gone.” She abruptly threw herself forward, causing Sabina to release her cheek and hold her. “It’s not fair.” Kahlia muttered her expression contrite.
Staring down at Kahlia’s head, Sabina couldn’t help the sad smile that came to her lips. “Have I been gone too long?”
Drawing back, Kahlia bobbed her head up and down. “Yes.”
“So, what if after this I spend a whole four days with you?” Sabina asked, bringing four fingers before Kahlia. She looked from them to Sabina’s face.
“Really? You’ll spend four days with me,” she frowned, “but what about my school. Teacher said we can’t miss school.”
“Surely, there’s a weekend coming up.” Lanias said, approaching the bed. “We can all go to the human world, and head to a beach for some rest and relaxation.”
“Re-lax-xzation.” Kahlia repeated awkwardly, “What does re-las-xzation mean?”
