Not Another King

Chapter ~ 3

Althea and that man came out of the store. "Althea, where are the tents?" Celestial asked. She eyes the man carefully. "Oh this kind gentleman here said we could stay in his hut," Althea said. 

"Uhm, Althea. Could I talk to you?" Celestial asked. Althea nodded and followed her sister . "What is wrong with you!" Celestial whispered.

"What?" Althea asked. "You allowed a total stranger to have the authority to allow us to sleep in his house," Celestial scolded.

"Um hey, total stranger can hear you," The guy said. Celestial became beat red due to embarrassment. "Listen, I am no kidnapper or rapist. I'm just a norm guy who is on his way to the lost forest," he explained and the girls were stunned.

"You are going to the lost forest?" They asked. "Yes. I was told by a monk that the only way peace could cover this world was if I and two other gems unveil the forest," he said.

"Two other gems? We are the two other gems!" Althea said. He was stunned. The three agree on staying in his house. They continued their walk.

"By the way, what's your name?" Celestial asked. "Elijah," he replied. "That's a nice name," Althea said to which Elijah blushed a little.

"We are here," he said. Stood infront of them a hut. They entered and there was a bed and a couch. There was a balcony too. "I think if we start our journey tomorrow, it will be better.

The two sisters shared a bed and Elijah slept on the couch.

Next day...

Celestial woke up to the sound of birds chirping. She nudged her sister and she woke up. "Where is Elijah?" She asked Celestial. "I just woke up, I don't know," Celestial replied.

Althea tied her hair and walked out. From the balcony, she saw Elijah shirtless....GOD DAMN. He looked hot. Althea swallowed her saliva.

"Someone's openly checking him out," Celestial commented. "Shut up. I wasn't," Althea covered. "Oh yeah, you totally were," She said again. "I don't have time to argue. Lets go," Althea got away with it this time.

When the girls were down, Elijah smiled at them. "Hi," he said. Althea seemed to have been. "Shall we continued our journey," he asked and the girls nodded. Althea gulped. He was hot!

"I'm gonna go get my shirt," he said. Althea nodded. Once he was gone, she sighed. "You were totally checking him out," Celestial said. "Fine, I was!" She admitted.

This was gonna be a long journey...
