Wura followed after Darla as she wondered why they were going so far from the others, but she did not think too much of it, she was much more curious on what Darla wanted to speak to her about, it had to be very important if they had to speak in private.
Wura wondered if Darla was finally not upset with her, if that was so, then she was happy then, but she did not say anything at all, which made Wura sceptical, but Wura was sure of one thing Darla would not dare try to hurt her, not with Liam and her brothers around, or at least that was what Wura hoped.
Darla wondered why Wura would just follow her blindly, did she have no sense of danger at all, or maybe she knew that she would not try to do anything harmful against her.
Darla stopped walking as she turned to look at Wura and Wura stopped and she looked at her with a puzzled expression on her face, she did not understand what was going on right now.
"So what did you want to speak to me about?" asked Wura as she thought that Darla was waiting for her to speak first.
"Oh you really think that you are clever do you not?" asked Darla as she scoffed, and her words left Wura feeling even more confused than ever.
"You think that you are so smooth, well I sorry to break it to you, but I can see right through you" said Darla with a scoff as Wura wondered just what Darla was talking about, she did not understand.
"Excuse me, but I do not understand what you are talking about" said Wura as she frowned, she wondered if Darla was okay or not, because she was saying somethings that just did not make any sense at all.
"Everyone thinks that you are so innocent, but Lily Scot, I see right through you" said Darla as she raised her voice, that was why she had made Wura go as distance away from the others, so she could face her with no restraints at all.
"Darla, what are you saying? I do not understand, what exactly are you seeing?" asked Wura in concern.
"Oh do not give me that pretentious gentle, ignorant look that you give the others, we are both women here" said Darla as she scoffed and Wura really wished that she would just get to the point, because all these accusations made no sense to her at all.
"I know that you are interested in Liam!" said Darla as Wura realized what all this was about as she sighed internally, how could she think that Darla would want to speak about something sensible or even apologize, but here she was saying something else entirely.
"Darla, look, I really do not see the importance of this at all" said Wura as she was about to turn around and walk back to the others.
"Shameless, you do not even try to deny it" said Darla as Wura turned back to look at her.
"Everyone can clearly see that you are interested in Liam, always looking for every single way to be near him, alone with him, I can see right through you" said Darla as Wura just looked at her and she said nothing at all as she let Darla speak.
"And I want you to know, that Liam is off limits, I am giving you a very stern warning Lily, Liam is off limits, from you, and any other woman, he is mine, mine, and I love him" said Darla as Wura could not believe what she was hearing right now, just who did Darla think she was to make a claim on her own husband.
"You do know that Liam is married right? He is even looking for his wife" said Wura as she pointed that out, just in case Darla had hit her head and forgotten that fact.
"Yes, do you not have a husband, and yet you are going after Liam?" asked Darla as Wura chuckled, there was a difference, a clear difference he was her husband, by law, they were married, on this earth, and even in heaven their marriage was recognized, so this thing called Darla in front of her did not know what she was talking about at all.
"Oh you do not know what you are talking about right now Darla" said Wura as she gave another chuckle and she was resisting the urge to compromise herself and tell Darla straight to her face that she was the wife Liam was looking for, and that she was not going to allow any woman, come and steal her husband away from her.
"No, you answer the question, how can you be in love with a married man?" asked Wura as she pointed a finger at Darla.
"Whether he is married or not does not matter, I fell in love with him before I knew that he was, and bedsides, he cannot even remember his so called wife, not even her name, nothing about her at all" said Darla as Wura took a deep breath.
"But is that not why you are here with Liam? To help him find his wife, that is the basis for this entire journey in the first place? You are helping him get to the first city to find his wife?" asked Wura in confusion.
"Yes, that may be so, but there is no proof that says that Liam will actually find his wife over there… he might not find her, and when that happens, I will be there for him, with loving arms, because he can stay here with me and the boys" said Darla as Wura could not believe what she was hearing right now, Darla was crazy, thinking that Liam would never be able to find her, but the funny thing was that she was already here, and she was here to stay.
"Can you hear yourself Darla, you sound so selfish, wishing for Liam's unhappiness" said Wura as she shook her head.
"You have no right to say such to me, Liam will fall in love with me eventually, he will, and he will feel the same way that I feel" said Darla as she sounded very sure and Wura just felt sad for her right now, but ultimately, she felt like telling Darla that her wishes would never come true, because she was Liam's wife, and he was her husband, and they were going to be together in the end of this all.
"Darla, you cannot force feelings on someone, believe me… I know… it has to be something that comes naturally" said Wura as she sighed, she knew this better than anyone else, she guessed that part of the reason why she did not accept that she loved Liam before, was because she was well… waiting… waiting for her to be sure that her feelings for him were genuine, not just because he was her only option, but because she truly loved him, and she did, she came all the way here, to the Yonder Realm, to find him, and she did.
"You shut up, what do you know about love?" asked Darla.
"I know a lot Darla, and I know that you must be feeling angry at me, thinking that I am stealing Liam away, but ask yourself a question Darla, is he yours? He does not belong to you, neither does he belong to me, he is his own person" said Wura as she was trying to be reasonable and gentle with Darla.
"You just be quiet Lily, your silly care for me, will not blind me at all, I know your type, you are trying to seduce Liam, why else would you leave you hair in such a provocative manner?" asked Darla as Wura could not understand, her hair? What was wrong with her hair.
"What is wrong with my hair? I only left it like this to dry, I do not understand what you are saying Darla?" asked Wura as she shook her head and Darla scoffed, she could see right through her, even though she hated to admit it, Wura was a very attractive woman, her nice face, her big brown eyes, and her red lips, as well as her glowing skin, she was naturally attractive, and when you added that big, brown curly hair to the mix, well she looked like with one stare she could steal your man, especially when she let her hair down and it was free to bounce here and there.
"Oh do not lie to me, you are leaving it like that purposely to seduce Liam" said Darla as Wura scoffed, her seduce Liam? Never had she ever thought about that.
"Darla, I think that you need to relax" said Wura as Darla scoffed.
"Seducer, trying to seduce Liam" said Darla as Wura got irritated by what Darla was saying.
"And what if I am? Would I be succeeding in something that you had never been able to do?" asked Wura as Darla gasped, and Wura smiled at her reaction, she knew that her Liam would never be with another woman, he assured her that he would never, and she trusted him.
"You see, you show your true colours" said Darla.
"Oh you know what Darla, I am sick and tired of your attitude towards me, just what did I do to you?" asked Wura in annoyance she was done with this back and forth, she was sure that Mero, Liam and the others were wondering where they were.
"I am done here, and you know, Liam is free to be with whoever he chooses to be with, and when he finds his wife, do not cry, because remember that I told you so" said Wura as she walked away without waiting for Darla to reply to her a Darla could not believe the nerve that she had, Darla growled in a mix of frustration and anger, she needed to chew something, hit something.
"Seduce my foot, so what if I do try to seduce him? He is my husband after all, I can have him, and you cannot, the nerve of that woman to claim my husband, my own husband!" said Wura to herself as she walked back to where everyone else were.
"My lady are you alright?" asked Mero as he called out to Wura and she looked at him as she exhaled.
"I am fine Mero, just fine" said Wura as she smiled and she walked to where Liam was still sitting by the fire.
"I do not think that my lady is fine at all" said Nora as she looked at Mero as she shook her head and Mero had to agree with her.
"What did that woman say to her?" asked Nora as she did not like this one bit, it was clear to see that Wura was upset.
"You are back" said Liam as Wura sat down beside him.
"Yes I am" said Wura as she looked at him.
"So what did you and Darla speak about?" asked Liam as he smiled.
"Oh nothing much really, just some things between women, we understand ourselves" said Wura as she smiled.
"Ahh I see" said Liam as he smiled, he was happy that Darla and Wura were finally getting along.
"Yes" said Wura as she Darla walked past she and Liam to her brothers as for a split second, both she and Darla's eyes met as Wura could promise you that Darla silently declared war.
"Okay, if you want to play, then we will play" said Wura to herself as Darla scowled at her.
"Oh Liam, so what did you do while we were gone?" asked Wura as she smiled and she covered Liam's hand with hers, if Darla wanted to see her steal Liam, then oh boy would she give her a show.
"Well nothing really, just watching the fire" said Liam as he did not mind that Wura was covering his hand with hers.
"Ahh I see, oh, it is so cold" said Wura as she moved closer to Liam for warmth, she would have attempted to hold him close just to spite Darla, but she knew her limits.
"You feel cold?" asked Liam as he looked at Wura and she nodded her head.
"Oh my lady, here, this should keep you warm" said Nora as she quickly covered Wura in a warm woolly cloth.
"Oh thank you Nora" said Wura as she smiled at Nora and Nora smiled at her as she walked away.
"You know, the stars are very beautiful tonight, do you not think so?" asked Wura as she looked at Liam and she gave her most alluring smile as she kept eyes contact with Liam as she tucked some of her hair behind her ear as slowly as she could as Liam watched her and she did it again, but this time with her left ear.
"Are you feeling alright?" asked Liam as he wondered why Wura was acting funny.
"Yes, I am perfectly alright, why do you ask?" asked Wura as she tipped her head to the side as she smiled and she fluttered her eyes several times.
"No reason" said Liam.
"Ahh" said Wura as she nodded her head slowly and she tried thinking of more techniques so she decided to yawn and accidentally rest her hand over Liam's shoulder as he did not move at all.
"What are you trying to do Lily?" asked Liam in confusion.
"Seduce you" replied Wura to herself as she smiled.
