Lesley's POV:
It's been two weeks that i'm living here and helping out the King do his everyday task. He's healed a lot since past week and yet there were very few conversations in between us. Not that i wanted to have any but like for the formality of it all i hoped he would talk to me, about anything at all.
Ling had been such a good sport to me and we've become very good friends. I think i became friends with almost everybody. In the mornings, me, Chou and Claude would go for a run. Gatot and Hanzo would be found in the kitchen making various types of foods and were the most silent yet savage people ever. Kimmy, Johnson and I would later go out in the evening to buy groceries while Badang and Leomord would take care of any weapon that needed to be repaired or made. Badang was like a big brother who would teach you everything you needed to know. He knew about histories and every kind of fights and would demonstrate how to win the opponent with Physical strength alongside Chou and Leomord. They were fighters and would handle everything so well. Kimmy was a tomboy but loved to dress up others. She barely wore anything fancy but would make sure i looked like a discoball. Gatot and Hanzo pretended to be serious all the time, scolding the others for not doing their chores and all but were such good hearted people who would crack joke in the most unexpected situation ever and that would make you want to die out of laughing. Ling was a constant support, he was always there for me whenever i needed someone or something. We would have long hours of conversation everyday during lunch and he made me laugh the most. Claude was a pain in the butt. He was always in the air, dancing around, while his monkey stole food from each one of us. He was absolutely weird around Kimmy which i noticed the most and although Gatot says its because the monkey once stole something valuable of Kimmy, i think he likes her.
I headed over to Gusion's room once i was done helping Gatot make food.
'I don't need help Lesley, you can go.' he repeadly said but i think we all need help. As i was there helping him, i made soup for Gusion and took it to his room.
'Hey, can i come in?' I ask and he replied yes.
'I made soup for you.' I say and he looked at me with curious eyes. 'Lesley, you seriously don't have to do this for me. You can remain normal and go out with Kimmy and assist others. I'm fine. And also you're doing more than i expect you to do. I get that I saved your life but you're doing too much. Go.' He spoke looking away and i guess this was his way of saying thank you. I smiled.
'So.. thankyou.' He said very hesitantly and that really surprised me because he never said please or thankyou so whenever he did, i knew he meant it.
'How's he doing?' Rafaela had come after two weeks to check on his health.
'Fine.' He said coldly.
'He's been able to walk and put on his own t-shirt but yesterday i noticed a small wound near the big one and it's kind of weird. It's near his birthmark. Also his temperature has been normal so far and we've been giving him lots of vitamin k for blood clotting. And also, the wound on his back has almost recovered. And the leg-'
'Lesley enough. She'll look at it.' He said to me and i nodded. I guess i was just blabbering arond again.
'Please, could you go out?' She said and I was purely offended by that.
'Why should i? I have every right to know what's happening! I am always with him, i am not leaving.' I say stubbornly and Gusion looked at me with an expression i never saw before.
'All.. right.'
After the regular checkup and all that, i headed over to Kimmy's room for she had invited me to play games with her. After what seemed like 3 hours, Johnson yelled 'THE KING IS GONE!'
I stood up quick and went around, searching everywhere. WHERE IS HE?!
I went to the tennis area, the swimming area, the ground, the shed, everywhere but he was nowhere to be found. I was almost crying now for his leg hadn't been fully healed and Kimmy did mention there were a lot of people who wanted him dead.
I was panicking, looking everywhere for him. I ran outside the castle and onto the streets. Everywhere. And when i went to the jungle to check, a creature hit me and i fell on the ground. It was a huge wolf. The wolf was right about to kill me, his jaws snarling near me. Just then, I heard, 'Lesley!' and the creature was nowhere near.
'What are you doing here? Didn't i tell you that the forest is dangerous? Why are you even here?!'
'SCREW YOU GUSION! I WAS HERE LOOKING FOR YOU! DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH YOU SCARED ME! I HATE YOU!' I say as i begin crying.
He caught a hold of the beast and let him escape as he came towards me, and did the most unthinkable thing. He hugged me.
THEN I STARTED CRYING EVEN HARDER, NOT ABLE TO PROCESS WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF HE WAS KILLED BY THE BEAST. I cried more and he rubbed my back, saying that it's okay.
'Why were you worried about me?' He asks softly. I buried my face in his neck and say 'You matter to me. That's why i was worried about you.'
He then took a hold of my face in his hands. Looked at my eyes, wiped my tears and kissed me.
