Quest Of Battle

Chapter 17

"Okay......"She said.
'Mom she might have been looking for me.'

"I want to go back."

"Why?"He said.

"I need to see my mom."

'What have I done? Me and my foolishness. If only I stayed at home,she would not have bothered looking for me'

Not knowing, Ezra listened to what she'd said in her head.

"Alright but hurry."

*******
Lucy was done preparing herself and went to Leila's house with Astha.

She knocked the door but no one came.
She tried knocking again but all in vail.
"They're not in."

"But where are they?"

"Kayla.Where is she? Astha did you see Kayla?"

"No I didn't but it was by miracle I came back alive."

"Let's see through the windows and see if they are in there."

So they started searching....

******
They reached a door with a golden writing on it.
It looked like the zodiacs on it.

"We are here."He said and stared at her.

"This door will lead me home right?"

"Yes."He said.

"You are kidding."She laughed."How can a door lead me home?"

"Won't believe me? Let's go."

"I won't."she said."Maybe you are like that guy who was about to take advantage of me."

"Fine. Believe what you think but if that door leads you home then I will kiss you."

She quickly turned to him."Well that will not come true. I assure that."

'You are such a fool Ezra to think a door will just take me home just like that.'

"Hm.Anyways let's go."

Ezra opened the door and a bright light came from it.

"What are you waiting for let's go."
He stretched his hand.

"I don't have time for that."

"Well that's bad."He said and pulled her hand in and immediately she entered,the door closed.

Finally and surprisingly,she was at the walkway that led her home.
They walked and finally Kayla could see Astha and Lucy searching the house though the windows.

"I told you it will lead you home."

"Hmm...."She replied.

"Now you owe me a kiss."He said.
"And I will take it."

He held her.

"I'm sorry."She said."For not believing you but don't. Don't at all and not here and now."

"Alright.That's good."

"Fine but something's bothering me."She said and let go of her hand.

"And what's that?"

"You said that anyone who disagrees with the deal is either lost or killed or something like that but you were there that evening and how was that possible."

He knew she would ask that question and he was a bit shocked but when he was about to answer her, Astha called and ran to her.

"Kayla."She hugged."You're here."

"Um... yes"

"And who's he?"

"This is Ezra."She introduced.

"Nice to meet you."He waved.

"Nice to meet you too."

"Kayla your mom and Leila are missing."

"What."she then recalled the information Ezra had said to her and held her chest.

"They are missing?"She asked as her eyes began to water up.
