Laylania (Completed)

Chapter 17

We all followed Rida into his tent and we all crowded around him in silence. He looked at us with a serious expression and said, "We finally have information regarding the demons".

In shock, we started to whisper among ourselves.

Rida cleared his throat and continued, "Apparently, some of the villagers found a cave that led to an underground laboratory a few days ago. So after we perform here, we will investigate the cave and the laboratory." Rida then looked at Lina and said, "Since you are new here Lina, you won't perform in the carnival tomorrow".

In indignation, she pouted, "But I want to perform though! I've heard about Laylania and its members and I've always wanted to join you guys! So I already know what I wanna do in the show!"

Rida rubbed his chin and said, "Then show us what you got".

Lina smiled and went into a stance with her feet shoulder length away from each other. She then lifted her hands and bright purple strings of light appeared and streaked across the open air. The strings of light then crackled with lightning which caused sparkles to spring into the air too.

"Woah," I said at the pretty lights.

I saw that Rida looked impressed too and he said, "Okay, you're in".

Lina smiled and clapped her hands, "Yay!"

Rida looked at Gadalka and asked, "Did you make her a costume?"

Gadalka nodded and replied, "I'll give it to her tomorrow morning".

Rida nodded, then looked at the rest of us and said, "Get plenty of rest tonight. We have a long few days ahead of us". He looked at Lina and asked me, "Kasai, is it okay if Lina shares your tent?"

"Yeah it's fine!" I replied with a smile at Lina.

"Then off you go!" Rida said as he pushed us out of his tent.

Once we were out of his tent, Dao said, "Well he was in a hurry for us to leave".

Cleite shrugged her shoulders and replied, "It's only natural, he needs to get some rest too for tomorrow".

Nodding my head I agreed, "That makes sense".

Clapping her hands together, Lina said, "So I guess we need to get some shut eye right?"

We all nodded.

"Night guys!" Cleite said as she walked away from us.

Sticking his tongue out, Dao said, "Don't let the bed bugs bite!"

Laughing I replied, "I'd burn em before they get to me!"

I then turned to Lina and said, "Okay my tent is this way!" I then led her to my orange and white stripped tent. I opened the flap and walked in and Lina followed after me. Copying what Cleite did for me when I first joined Laylania, I took some of my pillows and blankets and put them on the ground for Lina.

I snuggled into my bed and said to Lina, "Night night".

I heard her muffled reply as she covered herself with the blankets, "Night Kasai".

The night morning I woke up seeing Lina was was about to jump on top of me. Seeing that she was preparing to jump, I quickly rolled to the side so when she jumped she landed on the empty side of the bed.

She laughed and said, "Well I guess you're up now!"

Confused, I asked, "So why were you going to jump on me?"

"Well Rida warned me that you were a deep sleeper and had a bit of a problem waking up on time," she replied casually.

"So you were going to jump on me?" I asked.
