" I am not a kid anymore Aeron". She put the pillow down laying her head on it, adjusting herself.
" Are you not?" He asked laughing and she sighed looking away. " It's already too late and there's no sign of Alvah". He sat on his bed contemplating.
" Zillah is with him so he is safe with her there is absolutely nothing wrong". She took in a deep relaxing breath.
" You, you have Soo much confidence in their relationship". He had a vrow raised at her and she replied with her eyes closed " why doubt the both of them, they have a tough love yet they make it work with no help from anyone, that's surreal".
" You seem closer to Zillah than before. And you're more refrained from keva that's unusual why is that?" He was engaged in the conversation he had no choice but to ask a few bothering questions.
" Zillah is such a sweet girl I adore her". Was her only response to him. " You're not sleeping, let's have a chit chat. I don't mind if it's past your bed time".
" No thanks I am exhausted I'll go to bed first". It sorta felt like Cristal was avoiding his questions but he didn't want to push it so he ignored it.
She took his side of the bed and he took daiviks side of the bed.
" Keva are you okay, what is wrong with you?" Daivik asked after struggling to get her to the room. " Don't lay your hands on me". She warned him.
" Why shouldn't I?" He asked sounding pissed at her words. She immediately frowned looking at him. " Are you presuming there is something wrong with me?" She asked walking closer to him in a menacing way.
" Most definitely yes keva. We haven't gotten any closer since last year when you stabbed me with a poisonous dagger, was that even a coincidence or is something really wrong with you?. Cristal is right, something is wrong with you".
" You talk too much". She said walking to her bed. She laid down pulling the covers and went to sleep.
Daivik felt jeopardized by keva at this moment. He had no one to talk to this about. And he could only imagine what Cristal was going through.
" Is there something you would like to say to me before I leave the room". He kept his cool and stayed calm despite her provocative words and actions.
She did no respond to him as if asleep and he walked out angrily. Keva opened her eyes, memorizing every incident that happened today and she rolled her eyes.
When Daivik got to the, he quickly stopped and turned around. " They might be asleep I shouldn't disturb them both". He left to share a room with any Celestial or probably stays in an empty room.
" I know you're not asleep Cristal talk to me". Aeron pleaded but Cristal seemed uninterested to speak with him.
He walked over to her bed, sitting down beside her. " You are like a stubborn little sister that wants her older brother to tickle her when she's pissed and pouting" he smirked at her.
And that snapped her. Referring her to be his younger sister when she had feelings towards him was one of the impossible. She quickly stood up from the bed to leave when he held her back, " sorry to disturb you".
He pulled her down to the bed and got up to leave. " Everyone in Elysian is acting strange". He murmured looking at her.
" Did we really have to take a shower, it's cold". Zillah was whispering wrapping her body together. When he held her shoulders. " Yes, I got myself stained with Omna's blood and you hugged me. We both stink of blood. Perhaps you like the smell?".
" I do not". She blurted . " No argument ". They both sneaked into an empty room in one of the upper floors. It was dusty but they didn't mind. They got on the bed and laid on it.
He held her moving her from the bed to sit in between his legs and she didn't complain but followed suit.
He warmed her nicely and spoke on her nape. " Do you want to hear a story?"
And she unknowingly smiled. " That sounds great doesn't it?" He asked smiled looking at her from behind her ears and she looked up at him and nodded with a bright smile.
" I love stories" she replied looking at their hands that intertwined and she had fireworks explode inside her . He noticed this and kissed the back of her hands. She rubbed his jaw softly.
" I read ..." But before he could continue she interrupted him. " You read?" He was astonished by her question but was forced to reply. " Who got you in trouble because of a book?". " Yeah that's true I totally forgot". She chuckled relaxing on his chest.
He felt relieved that she had forgotten about the punishment incident. " I read in the Tartarus library about the shape shifters".
" What are they?" She asked briefly. " They are beings, unique creatures that humanly transform themselves to look exactly like someone. And it's most effective when the person they turn into is unconscious because it gives them more knowledge and everything the person knows ".
" Is that why you said we have to find Omna?" She asked. " Yes ". He replied.
" What if they had murdered him?". She was curious. He responded, " That's interesting but I do believe it's impossible to transform into a dead person because there is no life and breathing ability".
He further explained " What makes them especially unique is because, they are everything you are know to the knowledge you possess and not just empty clones, and they put you to sleep in ways I do not understand ".
" How much of the knowledge do they know?". She was persistent in her question and he didn't mind at all and only answered all of them.
" Zillah you are such a questioner I love that" he smiled at her and she never expected the unknown compliment so she grinned at him. " Thanks polar bear".
" Polar bear?" He asked in confirmation. " You don't like it?" She never had any intentions of giving him a nickname but because he gave her she felt the need to give him something cute as well.
" It's not bad" he smiled and she grinned lightly. " They do not exactly get all of your knowledge this I figured out when Omna didn't recognize who I was "
" He did not?". She was shocked at that. " No he did not, otherwise he would never have made that move to punish you if he knew and remembered who I am".
" But he sure figured out something else"
" What did you say?" She shot a look at him. " Nothing".
" So how did you know about their existence?". She was loving the history she was learning from him.
" The book I read explained who they are. I can't really explain if there is a breed of them". He creased his brows thinking deeply.
" Once in Tartarus, never have the Mundanes been familiar or explored about. But a shape shifter was able to shape shift into one".
" What do the Mundanes look like?". Zillah asked ever Soo curiously. " Do you want to see one?" He asked her with a smirk on his face.
" I don't think so". She sounded scared and he quickly glanced at her. " Hey don't be scared okay, you're in Elysian you won't get to ever see one. Except maybe when it's time for war". He moved his hands on her thigh to soothe her.
Zillah's heart sank. She only ever heard of a war but never experienced it or had to participate in one. " Am I going to fight during the war?" She was still frightened and Alvah look at her pulling her gaze to look at him underneath his jaw.
" You haven't been on the war grounds before have you?". And she nodded. " I'll be there with you". He tilted her head to the side and kissed her on the cheek.
" You're going to be trained. It's like the evaluation tests. Definitely you'll be scared but you'll be alright". His words of comfort sweet to her ears
" Promise me we will fight side by side" she brought out her pinkie finger.
" I promise you Zillah" he pinkie sweared her with a giggle and just when she relaxed in his chest. He held her tighter by the chest giving her smooches on her face and neck and she laughed feeling his warm breath on her.
