It is true when they say people do crazy things when they are desperate. You'll even think of teaming up with an enemy to destroy another, creating a bigger one.
Same goes for Mira with the situation she found herself in. Clinging onto Beebah is the craziest idea that she ever thought of. Or maybe she isn't thinking straight because of what happened between her and Zamiel.

Ramon was speaking to one of the men outside, while sitting on a bench, when he spotted the main couple. He smiled, standing up from his seat before excusing himself.
'"Excuse me". He muttered under his breath, walking towards the couple, his face looking radiant and it was all because of the mischief he wanted to pull.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here". He joked before he added "Welcome".
" Thanks a lot Mr Avi". She didn't even know why she thanked him, the word just flew out of her mouth. She smiled trying to cover her embarrassment. She was about to take her leave in order to escape the talkative man's wrath. But she didn't take more than three steps when she halted.
" Well..You didn't forget your promise your highness. Did you?." He asked flashing her his charming smile. Which only made Mira's eye sting due to the sudden intrusion of air and also due to the change in her mood.
She turned around now facing and stared at him innocently, while he flashed his charming smile which only made him look dashing the more. And she couldn't help but but wonder why such an handsome man could be so talkative.
( "I thought charming people were always moody and gloomy and most importantly they don't give off such talkative aura"). Thought Mira in her mind, while still staring at him, before she also flashed her perfect white teeth, summoning the acting character in her.
" But somebody beat her to it....
" Not today...i think your promise we'll have to wait". Declared Zamiel in a smooth tone, casting Ramon a meaningful and simple glance.
Mira looked at Zamiel and the aura he gave, he felt different and distant with his composed self and nature. But she doesn't feel this way when they were together.
" Oh?, Okay, i understand. I'll leave you two then. Again". He added, the smile still not wearing off his before he left their presence to go back to where he came from in the first place.
*****
Mira felt relief wash over her. If it weren't for Zamiel, she didn't want to know how long it will take for her to win a debate against the handsome talkative.
But once again, her glory was short lived, when she stepped inside the inn, ascending the stair case. She gulped thinking about what awaits her up there.
Every step felt like a ticking bomb. So did her heart beat that kept on beating in her mouth and ear, which she realized has been going on for a while. Maybe since the time they both detached their lips from each other. She felt her face burn, before shaking off the thought off her head.
When they got to the door step of their room. She felt her heart beat climax in suspense, almost breaking her ribcage.
Click!. She heard the door clicked, creaking with the little amount of force Zamiel used to open the door.
She took her time, taking her steps at snail pace, staring inside the room as if it were a booby trap with no escape.
Click!. She heard the sound echo in her ear, and the jingles of the keys hitting each other, indicating the door has been locked by Zamiel who was now standing right in front of her. She stood there by the door, glued to the floor as she watched him like a hawk as he walk towards the bed.
" Aren't you coming?". She was jolted out of her thoughts by this question.
This time she didn't speak, due to her uneasiness which was still very much alive within her. She quickly walked to the side of the bed ( which was the part of her bed)., Before lying on the bed stiffly, quickly shutting her eyes while backing Zamiel.
" Good night". He whispered softly, sending volt of electricity running through Mira's vein
" Good night". She managed to answer in a cracky voice. This made her embarrassed and she shut her eyes tighter to vent out her embarrassment.
While on the other part of the bed, laid Zamiel. He he lied on his side, facing Mira's back, he stared at her back for a while, before a smirk made its way to his face.
He smirked at her childish behavior, which was mostly revealed by her thumping little heart. It sounded cute.
He shut his eyes listening to the rythm of her heart pounding in her, he drown himself in the sound trying to look for sleep wherever it might be.

The birds chirping could be heard, indicating it was dawn. The sun light peeking through the window, rising to see another new day. And meet the same people he met yesterday before he went to set.
Mira blinked several times trying to adapt to the piercing light that peeked through the revealed part of the window.
She laid down there on the for some extra minutes before getting up from the bed which took her every ounce of strength she had, just to carry out that simple activity.
" It about time you separate from the bed, i thought we are going to have to wait an extra day". Came a voice, which had Mira snap her head towards the the direction of the source of voice, only to find Zamiel sitting on a cushion chair meant for a person only.
( " Great"). She thought while still staring at him as he stared back at her.
" Good morning, Your Majesty". She greeted trying to be formal.
After what happened yesterday, Mira felt more than uneasy to stand in the same, space, talkless of staring right at him.
********
" Good morning, Your Majesty". She greeted trying to be formal. But this actually had Zamiel raise his eyebrows questioningly at her. He stared at her for a while, silence filling the room coupled with their staring competition. He stood up, walked towards her, stopping his footsteps right in front of her. He stared down at her like a predator, Mira looked up at him, staring into his blue eyes. He was taller than Mira.
When Mira greeted him formally hiding his title behind , she didn't expect him to actually walk up to her. And now he was standing right in front of her staring down at her dauntingly. She had to crane her head up in order to meet his gaze. She's pretty sure he could see the middle of her head.
Once again, maybe Everytime she sinks into that blue abyss of his.
" Your Majesty?."
She heard him question her rhetorically. " I told you, you could call me by my name when we are alone so why the title?."
He stared down at her as if scolding a kid. He stared down at her, his eyes glued to hers, expecting an answer but instead he got none.
" Is it because of what happened yesterday?". He asked nonchalantly.
Her eyes got red by the minute due to her not blinking. And she felt her face got hotter due to the impact of his shameless question.
Everything thing turned white, her eyes dilated. She saw herself in a place that looks more like ruins. It looked like those huge cave used as huge mansion she normally see in some ancient movie. She felt her heart almost leave her chest. She saw something. Something she wasn't expecting, or maybe someone.
She saw herself with a guy kissing by that same river. She couldn't quite get the person's face because he was backing her. He had brown hair similar to Zamiel's, but his was longer.
She walked closer wanting to see the stranger's face.. Her body froze as soon as eye caught his face. It was Zamiel!?.
She stared at her reflection, she looks a lot elegant and pretty and she had golden eyes unlike hers that were brown in colour.
She stared at them for a while wondering if this was the future. "But if this was the future then why was her Iris golden in colour". She thought while still staring at them kissing. She knows it was rude intruding in their personal moment but she had to in order to get clues.
She kept staring at them saving her appearance in her memory.
" Wait, does this means if i don't leave here on time her eyes will turn golden as an effect, then that means she has to find a solution before it due". She stood there watch them detach from each other hesitantly, it was as if they both were in love. As if on cue she saw them continue with their kiss, smiling
