Into the Light

Chapter Five: You Have a Crush On Me, I Know You Do

"Would you hurry up or what?" Larmina shouted from inside the bumpy carriage. She gripped the sides of the small cart even tighter, hoping that she wouldn't fall face flat onto the seat in front of her. Yeah, now wouldn't that be something.

"Sorry Ma'am, the flood carried in many rocks so the roads are bumpy." The driver yelled from where he was sitting.

You don't think I know that? This crappy road is making me want to throw up.

She sighed and leaned back into her seat, feeling jittery and nervous, though never in a million years would she ever admit it.

It was happening. It was finally happening. She would get her revenge, which she waited years for...soon. Very, very soon.

****

The carriage stopped and she flung herself out of the cramped compartment at record speed. Feeling claustrophobic and like she needed air.

"Mina." She heard the deep voice that she recognized for years now and looked up to see her old time friend, Admyn. He stepped cautiously forward and suspiciously observed her face, searching for any clues of what she might do to him, you know, for challenging her and all. But the truth was, she let him off the hook. Her mind focused on the journey, she decided to leave him, knowing that she wouldn't have to see his face again in many many months anyways.

Larmina teasingly smirked and he took an intimidated step back, worry written all over his face.

"Oh man up you fat toad, you're off the hook." She rolled her eyes in an annoyed tone. She rarely lets anyone that deserves payback go, as you already know for the hundredth time.

Admyn let out a breath and stepped back in front of her, "So how was your ride?"

"Adequate." She replied with a straight nod.

"Just adequate? No curses or complaints?" He chuckled a light-hearted laugh and she watched him smile broadly afterwards.

She leaned into his face and narrowed her eyebrows at him. "Admyn, if you can't see it already, I just really want to leave." She whispered in a menacing tone so that nobody else would overhear it, because today, a few of the servants were back and were readying the carriage she would take to the castle in Finamere.

He frowned and I mean, who could blame him? The one "friend" he had, the only other one he may or may not have more that a friendly feeling towards, would leave for who knows how long to a place far far away. Even though this man is a considered bad guy, that doesn't mean he's soulless.

For Admyn, everyone was scared of him. Everyone feared him. Everyone except his Mina. She would contradict every word he uttered, she would annoy him until the brink of his extinct existence. She would make him so mad sometimes that he would want to pull out his own hair. To him, she was a light. And he was the dark. Of course if he told the she-devil that, imagine what would happen.

"What?" Larmina tilted her head and crossed her arms across her chest. "You seem upset." She smirked at his sour mood.

He clenched his teeth together and stormed off in a huff. Yelling orders to the servants here and there for practically no reason. Larmina was confused at his odd behavior. She thought to herself, Doesn't he want this as much as me?

Well, my dear readers, the answer is no.

Half way through the making of the plan, he forgave everyone. He forgave whoever kidnapped his sister that might have even killed her, and that is something very hard to do. He forgave the kingdom and all its faults. Every time he and Larmina worked on the mission together, a piece of his madness went away. And that's all because of her. Ironic isn't it? The guy that turned from bad to good, falling for the girl who turned from good to bad. But nevertheless, it was the truth.
