Dellings Secrets of The South

Chapter 21

Sakura

It had been at least two weeks since Dimitri told me about his plans. Weirdly, it didn't surprise me. It never crossed my mind that he was planning something like that but I knew he hated this place to the point of going on a mission that was nearly impossible. And I was here to support.

I wanted out too.

For the past weeks, he's been searching for people who could join in. He had a few candidates but out of all of them he chose one.

A girl.

One that was way too friendly and comfortable around me as if she had known me for years. Dimitri didn't seem to mind her rude jokes and overly sarcastic remark, he seemed completely oblivious to them but again she was in his group. Not mine. To me she was a stranger, so she was very lucky I was trying to work on my anger issues or else she would've been just one comment away from getting her tooth knocked out.

Hopefully the other people he was interesting in recruiting would be more cautious, just like Dimitri was in telling them our plans. Just like he was with me. Because as much as there were many wanting to leave this place, there were many afraid too, and fear made people do a lot of crazy things in here.

I wanted to help find others too but because of my reputation of not being the friendliest, he asked me to just stay on the down low, so when he approached me with the idea of me going to talk to Kane I was flabbergasted. Not so much because of the reason, Kane was the only guard friendly-ish – I'm not sure that's the right word but along that line – he was the only one close enough to get information out of. What surprised me was that he thought I was persuasive enough to get them.

The others were handed out to me freely, he wanted me to know that, going to him with a bunch of question of how the wall looked like, how the guard were stationed and if there were secret tunnels, would've been suspicious.

Plus, he and I hadn't spoken since the last time in his room.

Part of me expected to see him in training but he didn't come again, apparently he was busy with the other groups which was good. I hated the thought of seeing his ugly face, especially because he thought I had anger issues. I mean I did, but I still hated that he thought that. As if he could analyse every little thing and figure them out. As if he could figure me out.

I still hadn't got a clue of what he meant by I wouldn't kill him if I had gotten my hands on him. That's the only thing I would do. The only thing I would ever do to any of his kind.

He thought that just because he had big muscular arms that could throw me around, luscious hair that could tangle around my neck and perfectly plump, pink lips that looked like it taste like the purest of honey, that I would lust after him

As if.

Fucking bastard.

I hated every seconds that I searched the halls for him, poking my head in every corner until reaching his bedroom door and it was locked. Sighing in both exhaustion and relief I began my search again.

I was hoping I would fail at this mission. Dimitri might be disappointed but it wouldn't be my fault if I didn't find him anywhere. I had no idea on what to even ask Kane. I had been trying to put it all into phrase and always ended short.

I had already searched the front of camp before going to his room so I made my way to the back and what do you know. I'm not sure if should say luck was on my side or not because there lounging on a lowered branch tree without a care in the world was Kane.

He had his long, white hair in two, thick braids, a blue collar shirt on with golden designs that looked nothing like the ones Southside gave while he rested his head back, letting the –one-in-a-lifetime-bright sun kiss his tanned skin into a golden shade.
