In the bedroom,
keva and Zillah fell asleep once again.
Cristal was passing by looking for keva, she decided to check Zillah's room, and again, when she opened the door she saw the both of them lying down.
She broke down in tears. She closed the door and left.
Yawning from keva, she woke up,
"Wake up Zillah, wake up,.... she called her.
"Zillah"... mmh she groaned.
"Wake up, you have to get ready it's already late now".
"Okay..., She replied
Keva stood up from the bed and left to her room to get ready.
When she was done she went straight to go to find Cristal as no one was in the room when she came in, she persumed that Cristal should be up by now.
Keva took a stroll to the library to go meet omna. When she walked in, there she saw Cristal sitting with a long face. It was her first time seeing her like that.
Keva intended approaching cristal in a way that implied that she doesn't know the reason for her long face.
Omna, knowing her intentions gave a look signalling not to do that.
She understood and took a different approach, after taking a deep breath she walked up to her gently.
Omna knew exactly what was going on because Cristal had come to him with her broken heart and exposed herself.
He understood her predicament, so he left the library for them to have a little chit chat and reconcile.
"Hey, Cristal"....
Cristal had already taken in a deep breath, raising her eyes up in the air to resist the tears that were about to drop and spoil her act of being okay meanwhile she was upset.
"Cristal"....Keva called out again, like a child she bursted into tears.
"Oh no, no don't cry, I don't like it when you cry"... she said to her.
Cristal's cry became even louder.
Cristal, she finally began talking,
"You left me, abandoned me, I taught it was only for a while but you proved me wrong. Think back when last we both had a conversation".
Keva knew that it was because she had spent more time with Zillah than with her.
Wrong timing,
Zillah was running around looking for keva, when she saw her in the library, she ran in quickly, she shouted, "keva"...
Getting in only to see an awkward moment.
"Ohh...."
the two friends needed some space she thought, with speed she ran back to where she came from.
That action of hers proved that what Cristal said earlier was right.
Cristal chuckled hysterically, "if I wasn't here, if I didn't tell you about this you would surely take Zillah with you for the rest of the day and you wouldn't have enough time to spend with me when you return cause you would be tired"
"See, you see that",... she shouted.
"Now listen to me cristal". she sounded serious but calm.
"Yes I haven't had enough time to spend with you since Zillah got here but she's kind of a responsibility to me",...she explained.
She continues,
"You know the situation about her concerning the Celestials and the Infernals. She needs support, she's going through a phase right now".
"These were not the words I wanted to hear from you right now Keva".
Keva had seen that Cristal is being selfish, only wants to spend time with her and don't want her to interact freely with the others.
It wasn't the first time cristal did this, and keva doesn't like this side of her.
This repeated action of hers aroused anger in keva,
"No, no, no, stop it, she spoke calmly, I have warned you about this and you wouldn't listen, why?".
Cristal knows clearly keva doesn't like this side of her but she's scared of losing keva to the others.
The same way Zillah felt safe with keva when she arrived is exactly the same way cristal feels safe so she chooses to stick to her.
"I don't want you going far"..., her tears increased together with a teary voice.
"I'm not running away from you okay".
"Ssh, stop crying now".
She walked to her and hugged her tightly, which she hugged keva back tightly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm very sorry". she kept on repeating this.
"It's okay, okay stop crying, stop it".
"I'm sorry"...she said again.
Cristal was like a younger sister to keva, she would always respect her.
"I.. promise I wouldn't be selfish when it comes to you anymore".
"What about other things"...keva asked.
"I can't guarantee".
"Okay"...keva laughed.
"I promise".
"You promise"....keva asked to be sure. "Yes I promise". She laughed.
Keva used this day to make up with Cristal. She had to forget about Zillah's training even though it bothered her.
She had planned to discuss the reason for her absence to Cristal but not today.
Omna had gone to go see Zillah.
Knock on her door,
she ran to open the door hoping it was keva coming to call her for her training.
"I have a good feeling I would do well today in the training", she said walking to the door.
"Omna"...
"yes, surprised to see me", he asked
"Yes I actually was expecting keva".
"There will be no training today, take it as a rest day".
"But I didn't train yesterday"..., she argued.
"No, you did walk out remember,"
She replies,
"Yes but I didn't mean to plus I didn't train that day".
"Don't worry we'll train you vigorously tomorrow okay". he assured her just to get her mind off it.
"Mmmh"....she replied.
It was night, keva had come to meet Zillah. She didn't knock but opened the door.
"Zillah, Zillah", keva whispered.
Zillah hearing this still voice looked around facing the direction where the voice was coming from, she saw keva.
"Keva, come in".... she whispered back.
Keva came into the room. "It's good you're not asleep, things didn't go well with me and Cristal today".
"Yes.., I saw the tension between you guys, are you cool, I hope it's not because of me".... she was worried.
"Don't worry, it's just a small conflict between buddies, it's all settled now".
Keva said.
Judging from keva's words, everything seemed fine and settled which relieved her stress.
"I'm sorry i couldn't come for your training today".... she apologizes to Zillah.
"No it's okay, omna cancelled it anyway"... that was a simple answer to keva.
It sounded to her that zillah was happy that they didn't go ahead with the training because she wasn't around.
She gave Zillah a warming smile and hugged her saying goodbye and then left. Zillah stood up to lock the door.
Turns out she didn't want cristal to find out she was here with Zillah.
She said to no one but herself,
"keva and Cristal seems to be so close to each other than I thought.
That was my first time seeing Cristal that angry since I got here. Hmm, the quiet ones". she laughed.
"I guess I'm the third wheel getting in the middle. I have to jump out, I cannot ruin two girls friendship, no no no".
Zillah after saying all this things jumped into her bed, stretching her whole body as if to grow taller In an instant.
She closed her eyes gently only for it to widen again with the speed of flash, "Oh No"... she muttered under her breath.
"Hi!..' alvah said smiling at her.
"Maybe it's just a dream"...she said in a low voice, she closed her eyes tightly to open it again and still see him standing elegantly.
Why would he be here and at this time of the night, she couldn't think of an answer.
She mustered the courage to ask, "what do you want?".
"Ha, what do you want"...he repeated.
Alvah had a not too deep voice that just goes with his flow, his expression was unpredictable, but the time he smiles, you wouldn't expect danger.
He has an amazing smile that melts Zillah's heart everytime she sees him. His cool and hot attitude is so not predictable, but he's not calm all the time.
"Tomorrow..." he said.
Zillah repeated tomorrow, "What's that about?"...
He winced at her and left.
"Was that a dream?"....she asked herself.
"Anytime he comes he does something why not this time"....she said out loud as if talking to someone.
