Trouble Times Three

Chapter 4

Liam's POV

As soon as I got to my apartment I took Nylah to my guest room and placed her on the bed gently. I was about to leave the room when she groaned lightly and moved in her sleep. Her face was pulled into a grimace and she was clutching her hand. I cautiously walked over and held her hand. She relaxed at my touch and sighed in her sleep. I looked at her for a minute and then stared at her hand. She was growing an intricate design on her hand that indicated her as an heir to the Elemental throne and her element was fire, like her temper.

The design was beautiful and swirled up her arm and palm. I let go of her hand and watched the progression of the design. Then suddenly her hand was on my cheek rubbing it and it slowly trailed down to my hand which she gripped tightly in her hand. I let her hold my hand for a while before her grip loosened and she turned away from me.

'Awww that's so cute!' A voice said. I turned to see my sister standing in the doorway. I furrowed my eyebrows and stared at her. If my sister was here that meant my mum was.
'Helloooo earth to Liam we need you or is it earth to Houston ? No no no its Houston we have a problem! Have I got your attention now?' Lianna asked me.

I turned to face her again .
'Where's ma?'
Lianna shrugged and came to meet me.
'Jaden dropped me off here and he said you should check your phone.' She replied. Then came to look at Nylah.
'She's pretty. Will she be staying long?'
I looked at my sister and shrugged then turned my phone on.

Jay: answer ur phone

Jay: I've got important news

Jay: dude r u ignoring me

Jay: I bet ur phones dead... Anyway

Jay: ur mums on a mission for the royals but she hasn't reported back yet.

Jay: oh and I'm dropping ur lil sis off at urs.

Oh so he did text me and more importantly I hope that my mum is good.

I sighed and looked at Lianna, she was tracing the pattern on Nylah's arm.

'Hey Li you have to go to bed now.'

My sisters large green eyes stared at me.

'But wheres ma?'

I shook my head, 'she's coming soon don't worry'
I smiled reassuringly at my sister and ruffled her hair. She squealed and ran from the room. I chased after her and we played tag for a bit before she went to bed.

The next day...

I woke up and checked on my sister. She was fast asleep so I went to look at Nylah she was still asleep but she was showing signs of any awakening. I turned into a dog , because watching her so long I knew she was petrified of them.
As soon as I was on her bed her eyes fluttered open and I began to drool on her. Her eyes widened and she blinked a few times. She tried to shift under me and muttered 'good doggie ' every so often. I couldn't take it anymore so I started to laugh and I leapt off of her. I quickly changed in to my joggers and turned to see a very angry Nylah.

Sh opened her mouth to say something but i beat her to it and said, 'sorry?' Sounding unsure as to whether she would accept it. She pointed her finger at me to follow her and she lead me to my kitchen. She then tilted her head to the chair. I took a seat and looked at her, leaning into my chair.

'Okay.... Ummm what's your name?'
I was surprised she wanted to know that first and not the monster bits. So I asked her.
'Don't you want to know about the monsters?'
She looked at me weirdly.

'What monsters?'

Oh... So she couldn't remember I guess that must be an after affect of the power gems.

I explained to her what happened and told her about her power gem "tattoo".
She stared at it in awe the looked a me.

'You still haven't told me your name' she stated.

I just stared at her for a bit before saying Liam. She was about to open her mouth to tell me her name but I cut her.
'I know your name is Nylah.'
She gave me a look saying very clearly
"Of course he knows my name"

I chuckled to myself and went to make toast and jam since I knew that Lianna would want that when she wakes up. I could feel a gaze on me so I turned and caught Nylah staring at me.
I smirked at her leaning into the counter and saying,
'What don't you like what you see?' When she looked away with a flush in her cheeks. She scoffed at me and tied her shirt up revealing a toned stomach that showed that she actually worked out.

'Hardly I was just comparing.'
