The Elementals II: Knit of Fate

Dead and hungry.

“Well, hello there.” Lou’s face covered by a really evil grin. “Do you mind if I join your little chitchat?”

“Unless you take that icicle out of Roxy’s head, we’ll let you in.” Jaray stood up, speaking firmly.

“Are we going to have a little fight again?” Lou pout-ingly said, like an evil puppy begging for treats.

“Then we can make it big if you like.”

 “What is your business here, Lou?” I asked.

“Oh Elly. Hi! I was just merely visiting and it so happens I saw Roxy coming and that’s when things got interesting for me.” He took a long sniffed of the air, “I miss this room, honestly. By the way, Elly, I think you should stay away from here for the mean time. We’re just going to have a little talk.”

“What if I don’t leave?” I stood beside Jaray.

“Well then, I’m making it as an order.”

“Under whose authority are you ordering that to me?”

He paused for a while but he never lose any of his composure, his grin and his evil expression and tone of speaking, “I’m just a concerned friend.”

“As far as I knew, you were not a student of Sir George and currently you’re not enrolled to any of the subjects being taught in here. And because of that, why would I take orders from you?”

This sudden reckoning from me took him by surprised. Being a Council member, you have to be enrolled to show your high academic excellence but it appears like, the Council has not heard of this. This is what I’m trying to point out. Jaray must’ve picked this up; he gave me a ‘well-done look’.

I’m blameless. These might’ve been hard for Lou to defend. The great debater, man of reason and a man of logic lost of words to defend himself. Haha. And who’s he talking to? To me, of course! Haha.

When it seems like, he can’t find the right words to say, I continued, “Also, as far as what my mind comprehends, you’re a little bit trespassing to our domain. Actually, you’ve not been given permission to enter. I don’t know under what authority you have for you to wear that sinister look of yours, to point that deadly icicle at Roxy’s head, to bring that interrogating aura you possess, but I do know, you’re not an official tenant of this room anymore.”

 This shook his last defence. He smiled and said, “Well then.”

He removed the icicle and threw it behind him, and then he pushed Roxy on the sofa harshly. Annoyed, he said, “By the way, that old bastard is proven not to be really useful. The elder can’t squeeze anything from him and that’s because of his ability. Imagine? He pushed his tongue to the roof of his mouth so he can’t speak of anything. Brilliant, but we’re going to take him still in our custody. A big thanks to Ms. Rosles.” and he clapped three times.

It’s his last attempt to confuse me, he mentioned Alvis but I’m clever enough to pretend, I’m missing that out but inside, I knew too well what he’s saying.

Before he left, he said, “I got it Elly. I’m not welcome here anymore.”

“You made yourself a person not to be welcomed.” I answered back.

He pouted, “I just hope, you knew well the side you’re taking. Good evening to you all.” And with one last grin, he closed the door.

Roxy let go a long deep siggggggggggghhhh... “Elly!!!! You did it! It’s too close! I thought I’m gonna lose my head that moment.” Roxy hugged me so tight while Jaray patted my shoulder.
