We Found Love

ACT 2

ACT 2

The entire bedroom was cloaked with darkness. The curtains were pulled close and the lights were turned off. Not even a single lamp was lit. It was also full of nothing but silence. That is, if no one counted the low rumbling of the air conditioner cooling the shadows blanketed room.

On the bed situated at the center of the bedroom, the rapper of K/DA can be found all cooped up in a thick blanket, her forever wild hair and seemingly expressionless face being the only thing visible from her body.

Akali's face scrunched up in annoyance when the sun's rays snuck through the slit between the curtains. As if there was someone out there who wanted her eyes to suffer the moment she left her slumber, the thin line of sunlight coincidentally lined up with her eyes, blinding her once her eyelids lifted up and unveiled a pair of blue crystals.

An soft yet irked grunt left Akali. She squirmed underneath her blanket, moving like a worm when she adjusted herself on the bed. Her movements ceased when the ray of light was somewhere in her chest level. At least she wasn't being blinded anymore.

The blinking red light of the digital clock on her bedside table looked as if the numbers on display were glaring at her, telling her to rise and shine for the day. Unfortunately, Akali wanted nothing more but to wilt and remain in her little cocoon. It's already eleven o'clock, but she still had no intention in parting from her beloved haven.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

As if she was a criminal and whoever it was that's knocking was the police, Akali jumped on her bed in surprise before she hurriedly tried getting herself in a much natural position. After a bunch of unsuccessful attempts in finding a pose she deemed unworthy to be called natural, Akali settled in just burying her entire self underneath the blanket, minus her hair though. Half of her hair was still sticking out, but she didn't bother shoving it beneath her hiding spot since she heard the door of her bedroom click open.

She was as still as a rock under her cover. The almost soundless steps of the visitor reached her ears with crystal clarity. When she felt the person's presence beside her bed, she tried her best to breathe as normally as she can. She was rather late in realizing that a normal sleeping human actually breathes even when they're asleep. They most definitely do not stay as frozen as a stone statue.

Akali pursed her lips, while it took all of her strength not to jump at the hand that gently landed somewhere on her head. It's as if the visitor was checking if she was there or not. She was praying her hardest for the person to not remove the blanket. She's a good rapper, but she's not really confident in her acting skills.

Much to her misfortune, she felt the visitor's hand grab a part of her blanket and delicately started to peel the sheet away. Thankfully, Akali managed to bury half of her left face against the bed before the cover was pulled back enough to reveal everything above her shoulders.

Eyes closed and softly breathing, Akali seemed to be miraculously succeeding in pulling off this little fake sleeping thing. And as if it served as a wordless answer to the question in her mind, the blanket was returned to its original placement. In her head, she performed a celebratory backflip and pumped her fist up in the air. She had surprisingly acted her way out of being woken up.

Within a couple of seconds, she heard door click close again, signaling her that her visitor had left. Feeling a little cautious, Akali chose to peek from underneath her cloth shield. After a quick sweep of her gaze, she finally confirmed that she was all alone in her room again.

Huffing, Akali lowered the blanket until her head was out again. She's sure the others would understand why she's hiding in her room. She not only lost a precious family ring, but she also has a bit of beef with the oldest member of the group. Her current position in life isn't really the greatest.
