chapter fifteen 🤍
Out on the reef ~
"Come on Reya, you can go faster than that!" Za'nara yelled as they raced through the water.
"It's not my fault you have a death wish!" Tsireya yelled back.
Za'nara laughed and raced off even faster.
"Come on!" Za'nara screamed. "I'll race you to the shore!"
{ At the shore }
"Your such a cheat!" Tsireya yelled.
"No, no, I'm just fast!" Za'nara replied. "You might want to invest in a new ilu!"
"Don't disrespect my girl." Tsireya replied. "She has soul!"
The two laughed with each other.
The both of them sat down on the shore and rested after their long ride.
"So, how are you now? After everything?" Tsireya asked.
"I'm feeling 100%." Za'nara replied.
Tsireya hugged Za'nara.
"I was so scared for you." Tsireya whispered. "Until you and the Sully's came, I didn't really have many friends in the clan. It's hard to have true friends when people only see you as the chiefs daughter."
"Im so glad I met you." Za'nara expressed. "Your an amazing person Reya."
"Thankyou." Tsireya thanked.
"Okay, different topic. How's everything going with you and Lo'ak?" Tsireya asked.
"I think he's mad at me." Za'nara confessed.
"What? Why?" Tsireya asked.
"The other day, I went to thank Neteyam for saving my life and we ended up spending the whole day together, laying on the sand and resting. We headed back for dinner after and when we went inside Lo'ak just turned his head away from us and hasn't spoken to me since." Za'nara explained.
"He's jealous." Tsireya replied. "He probably thinks you like Neteyam or something."
Za'nara turned her head in guilt.
"Do you? Like Neteyam?" Tsireya asked.
"I don't know how I feel." Za'nara confessed. "This is all new to me, I mean I loved them so much when I was younger but everything has changed."
"So your stuck between both Sully brothers." Tsireya attempted at putting it into words.
"Neteyam is sweet, caring and loyal whereas Lo'ak is fun, rebellious, passionate and he cares so much for everyone. With Neteyam I feel safe and cared for but with Lo'ak I feel like I'm truly living, he brings out a side of me that just makes me feel alive. I don't know how to feel." Za'nara explained.
"You have to go with your heart, Za." Tsireya told her.
"I don't want to lose one them though. If i go with Lo'ak I lose Neteyam if I go with Neteyam I lose Lo'ak." Za'nara explained. "I've lost so many people, I don't think I can do this."
"Give it time, let your heart guide you, not your head."
Za'nara nodded.
[Later that day]
Neteyam was out practicing his archery when Za'nara approached him.
"Hey." Za'nara greeted him.
"Hey, what's going on?" Neteyam asked.
