'I do hope our 'relationship' will better after I cool off', she sigh. A sad frown plastered all over her shining face. He could see the sparkle in her eyes is no more. Not a word could express his guilt, it tore his heart to see her sad face.
'I need to tell you what happened that day', he speaks up. She sees his face is serious as ever. It feels like he is telling something important something she should long know. 'Then, can you smile', he turn around, the strong wind brush his hair aside making him look very handsome. She giggle, knowing his concern for her, she force a painful smile.
'Sure, why not', She pull her hair to the back of her ear.
'Great! then how about we race to the terminal hmmm?', He put his big hands around her shoulders. She chuckle at his behavior, very mature but childish at the same time. She pump her fist 'Bring it on!'. She took off not long after those words comes out of her mouth.
From afar the voice calling her faintly disappears 'Hey! that's cheating you head out first'. Panting hard, slowly she slows down catching the rest of her breath. Looking around, she start to panic, the surrounding didn't seems familiar to her.
'Lost?', a familiar voice greet her.
'Awww you got here first', she puff her cheeks and pout.
'I'm Ray a water wizard. I can move freely as I want. The water around is me and trust me I'm faster that you can imagine'. Layla sigh, as much as she wants to disagree. His words are true, it's worthless to fight.
'Fine what ever. You win this round but the next time we race. Certainly I'll defeat you big time', she smile. Ray chuckle, this girl is determined about her choice. A tingling feeling rush through the veins inside her body. A figure caught her eyes,she sprint off to catch it but a strong muscular hand grab her before she could do a thing.
'What are-', words can't escape her mouth, Ray face seems deadly. 'Let's go', he harshly command. Knowing she can't' escape this she nod and went away. The rest of the way, they are quiet. Both of them didn't dare to speaks up.
'Huh, Don't you just go off like that', Layla pull her face to see his eyes. His face look out the window not moving an inch even when he is talking. Gripping her skirt she let out what she lock deep inside her heart. 'Why?', He turn away from the mirror.
Tears streaming down her face, she wipe them away but they keep coming out. 'Why? Am I that weak. Why do we need Zeirra to do what ever we want. There's no harm if we did something on our own is it? No. Right?',
'True.' Layla is taken back when he says that. 'It is true that we don't need her every time we need to do something but listen, she knows the best and....', the words just wouldn't comes out.
'She is stronger than either me and Ash', he choke on his words. Not a moment there he won't regret. Layla sitting right across him with a blank face.
'I don't understand'.
'I tol-'.
'No that's not what I mean. I know you Ray, you wouldn't just go around saying people stronger than you without something happened. Stop keeping the secrets away from me, tell me Ray. Tell me the real reason why we. No I mean I need her', she plead.
Ray gulp down, everything he kept is finally out. Layla is shocked too startled to say anything. I never thought such tragedy could hit him like that. Am I too harsh on him?
The train whistle, again awkwardness surrounds the both of them. The moment they step out a gust of wind carrying the smell of chocolate drenched in honey greet them. No one is there, not a single soul could be seen. As if the terminal or the whole town is gone. A loud growl approach them from behind.
A dark creature with the size of a panther attack. 'Water slicer', the attack break the panther in half ad it disappears.
'What are they'.
'They are illusions. Keep your guards up', he wipe the black smudge on his right cheek. There are more surprise on our way'. Layla smirk, knowing very well she gets a chance to cool off by punching the creature to death zone.
Pulling out her daggers, the blade appears. Thousand of the creatures surrounds the surroundings.
'Galaxy Overblast', Beneath the ground white lights rise up impaling each and every creature there.
'You head to the middle, I'll scout the rest of the way'. Knowing her place she head out.
