"where is she?"..., they wondered were candy disappeared to.
"Hello!...." they both made a quick turn, it was a girl with brown hair that stop at her back.
"Who are you?...", Zillah asked.
"I'm Katie, nice to meet you".
"I'm cristal". Alvah looked at her and smirked.
"And you are?..." Katie looked at alvah.
"My name is Alvah". Zillah looked at him in shock.
"Alvah"... the girl asked, surprised.
Alvah spoke, "You know, you look a lot like a kid who was just here, the only difference is your maturity, perhaps is she your sister".
"I don't have a sister"... Katie's response was harsh.
"Are you angry just because I said you look like a kid, you know, she is a lot more nice than you. I think I would introduce her to you when she comes that's if you would stay a little longer".
Katie couldn't hold her anger any longer, she stormed out of there.
Alvah just smiled, showing his perfect set of teeth, relaxing even more on the wooden chair.
Again, Zillah was struck by his beauty. She wondered if he sees her the same way.
"Is that supposed to be a flirt, because it went so bad".... Zillah said.
"I don't know, but that definitely isn't a flirt". he said.
"I'm back..." candy approached them.
"What took you so long?..." alvah asked,
Zillah wondered what made alvah Change his actions towards candy.
Candy skipped the seat she was sitting down on which was beside zillah, to stay beside alvah.
When she sat down, she leaned and rested on his chest. Zillah was shocked.
Alvah wasn't surprised, slowly candy strolled her hands down his chest to his abs. Zillah's eyes and mouth were left open.
Candy stopped at his abs and opened her palm wanting to feel it when alvah held her tiny palm.
He looked straight into her eyes and so did she, he wanted to burn her up.
"Aeron"... shouted, breaking his gaze on the girl.
They both looked at her, his eyes had turned red.
Candy had cleaned her eyes to make sure that she did not just see a red eye but rather a black eye. When she did so, she saw a black eye..... She sighed heavily.
"Candy do you know were we could stay for the night"... Zillah asked.
"Yes.... she replied, I know an inn, the owner is my friend the two of you could stay here. I'll book two rooms".
"Why two..." alvah asked. "I thought the two of you are just friends"...., candy said.
"We'll take one room".... he said looking into the child's green eyes. After a short glance at each other.
"Okay, I'll lead the way"....., she said getting up from her chair.
They travelled a short distance when they saw street lamps, "we're here"... she said.
They entered the inn, "wait here".... she said.
Alvah and Zillah sat down in the lobby waiting for candy.
"You weren't going to burn her earlier..." Zillah asked him.
"No".... he replied.
Zillah said...,
"you're lying"
"Why bother ask me if you know"... he said to her.
"Aeron" she shouted.
"Cristal, you don't expect me to act like I belong here, we are to get over this mission, return home and prepare for our next evaluation".
"Are you two fighting?"...Candy's voice was heard.
They both glared at her, she looked at alvah in particular,
They seized their gaze on her.
"Do you hate me alvah?"....she sounded serious.
His head would burst right now. "You..."
"let's go"....she interrupted.
"Cristal..." she stood up following candy.
Alvah just looked at the two of them. He followed after a few seconds passed.
They arrived at their room. "You didn't come with luggages"....candy asked.
"No".... Zillah replied.
"Rest for tomorrow".... she said,
"Where are you going?".... Zillah asked.
" I'm going home, I'll be back early don't worry". She left.
"Strange isn't she"...alvah asked leaning on the wall.
Zillah didn't respond, she just laid on the bed.
He opened the door, "Where are you going?"... she finally spoke.
He didn't answer her and just left.
Alvah had gone to the receptionist.
He knocked on her desk, "who..." she went silent just staring at him.
He snapped his finger,
"Yes, please what do you want?".
"I want to know if room 18 is available".
She replied,.... "No it's not, we have couples in that room".
"In whose name was it booked".... "Miss Katie, why would you want to know, sir".
"Katie, I need her room number".
"Wh..why would you?"....
"She is aware of my visit"..., he lied.
"Okay, but she didn't tell me anything. I would call to confirm"....
He went silent, void of emotions.
"I'm sorry to waste your time sir, here is her key".
"Thank you!"... he said
He went straight to her room door, he opened it quickly. He saw her, Katie.
"How did you know I was here?"....she asked. "Are you following me?"...
"I'm not a stalker, perhaps have you seen a little girl".
"What is with you and that little girl, I don't care about her. Besides why are you interested in her more than me".
Alvah said....
"I love..., Katie paused for a few seconds, her green eyes"... he concluded. He left the room throwing the key to her.
He went back to his room.
"I'm sorry"... Zillah apologized seeing him enter the room.
"For what?.... he asked. You know what don't tell me, I have something to tell you".
" Do you hate me alvah?".
Zillah was confused.
"That was the statement made by candy, meanwhile I told Katie my name was alvah".
"So candy is Katie".... she asked in confirmation.
"Yes, besides, our room was booked in the name Katie but she came in here as candy"... he said.
"So she's coming closer to us with candy, but being rude with Katie. So, she's our mission"...
"Yes"...alvah said.
"Are we safe, does she know you've figured out?"...
"Nope, let's keep it like that. Go to bed".
"what of you?,"..... she asked.
"Both of us aren't safe if we're both asleep".
Zillah laid on the bed. She was disturbed until she finally spoke up, "I know she likes you".
"I know"...,
he said smiling. "Go to bed", he walked to her and placed her head on the pillow and covered her.
He took the chair, placed it in a way that it was facing the door and sat down there,
Katie had heard everything that they said. She planned something for them the next day.
Zillah woke up, alvah was as he was yesterday.
"Did you sleep?"...she asked him.
He replied...,
" I rested my eyes"
"We are not safe here, I was thinking there is no how she would not suspect what happened"... Zillah said.
"True, and I was thinking too, we would go as she has planned, most importantly we aren't using our powers".
"Go as she has planned, are we entering a grave with our eyes open".
"Why are you always scared?, you have to take everything as an opportunity to prove yourself and become a legend".
"What does the L on your katana say?"...
"Legend, meant for professionals".
"Exactly, now go get ready, I'll get ready as well, just to be clear there is no surprise".
She laughed. When they were done, candy knocked on the door.
"I'm here"....
alvah opened the door for her. "Right on time, we are ready".
"I have someplace we should visit, let's go".
"Okay".
They departed to Katie's house. This is where it all ends.
Katie's house is a huge mansion. Her dad is known for his criminal activities to gain his wealth, but surprisingly his daughter had powers, which means that she was the mission,
They arrived and she led them straight inside. What she did would have had an effect on them If they weren't aware of it.
Some men were ordered to chain their hand.
"Daddy"...candy said,
she transformed into Katie. she walked to her father who was sitting on a likewise throne. She hugged him and pecked him on the cheek.
Now that's the reason she didn't like hanging out with kids but adult. Daniel was right, alvah thought to himself.
"Hello!, Aeron and alvah".
"Nice to meet you, candy and Katie".
