"Let's go sightseeing?" Heyli was just stepping out of the bathroom when Melodie made this announcement. Melodie had come here with so much energy and it was too much for Heyli who wanted to do nothin but rest and avoid seeing anyone. "Why don't we rest this evening and do something tomorrow?" Suggested and Kayla nodded. "We don't have to go sightseeing immediately. A lot of people will be out doing the same thing." "That's where the fun is, actually," Kayla said and looked at Heyli. "That way, we'd meet new people." "And again, tomorrow, the games begin. Nobody will be allowed to tour except if you want to be locked up for being a spy even if you're not." Heyli sat on the bed with an ivory towel wrapped around her. She didn't feel the need to go out and that was because she was avoiding a few people. "You both can go but I don't think I can join you guys," "Why?" Kayla and Melodie asked in unison. They were both looking at her with a frown on their faces. "
Heyli was fully dressed now and when Kayla and Melodie opted for combat outfit, she nearly cried. "Why are you both dressed differently?!" Heyli cried. Melodie shrugged. "Because we're warriors and you're a princess." "You shouldn't have brought me with you guys, then. I should have gone with Athena and placed with someone else. I came here not to be a princess but a warrior!" Kayla winced at how loud Heyli sounded. Their friend was not happy and she looked like she wanted to tear this dress off her body. "I suddenly don't want to go anywhere," Heyli said and began walking into the room. Kayla and Melodie exchanged looks and rushed after her. Heyli was really upset. "Heyli," Kayla said and grabbed her by the arm. Heyli jerked away from her hold. "Don't touch me. You both can go have fun while I sit here sulking." "You can always have fun with us," Kayla said and knelt before Heyli who was not seated on the bed. "Dressed like this?!" She said and gestured
"I don't feel comfortable in this dress," Heyli said as they went down the steps. When they got to the hallway, Melodie stopped walking and grabbed her arms. "You don't have to be comfortable in this dress. This is who you are and yours going to get used to it someday," "Are you sure?" "Now, don't ask me that," Melodie said and Heyli burst into laughter. "I hate you, girl." "I think you need a distraction from Loki. I feel like you're going to meet a nice, handsome man today and he's going to sweep you off your feet and Loki is going to be jealous and he's going to regret ever making you feel this way," "He didn't make me feel any way. He's just dealing with a lot." "Now, you're beginning to support him?" Kayla looked at me in shock. Heyli shrugged. " I mean, he's going through a lot right now and all I can do is understand." "I don't think this is you talkin, Heyli. You're probably under the influence of a demon." Melodie said. "A medium," Kayla added
Athena was alone in the suite as Alexander had left with Damien to attend to some things. All she thought about was how she was going to survive. She had collected a pamphlet from one of the guards just to kill boredom and that was how she saw all the games they would be participating in. Combat games, climbing and hunting games and even games that had you at the mercy of your opponent or your opponent at your mercy. She didn't feel comfortable. Infact, she didn't think she was going to participate and she also didn't want Heyli to participate. Heyli was lucky that she had joined the junior team. That was a bonus as she was going to be exempted from the games. But she still felt like she needed to inform Heyli about it. Standing to her feet, she slipped her feet into her pumps and proceeded to the door of her room. She didn't want to encounter Alex on the way and luckily for her, she didn't. She saw Loki when she got to the large double doors that served as an
Heyli walked around aimlessly. She had nowhere to go but deep down, she knew she was looking for a certain fair-haired, green-eyed boy walking with a group of boys his age. But she saw nobody that looked like him. Everyone was busy looking around and talking to their friends or just standing and doing nothing. Nina was among the people standing alone and doing nothing and immediately Heyli saw her, she looked for ways to avoid her without being seen. When she successfully passed behind her, she saw a concession stand where drinks were being shared and out of curiosity, she walked towards the stand. She was glad that she didn't recognize a soul in the group of people standing in the line and one of the girls even smiled at her. She politely returned the smile and joined the line. Craning her neck she tried to see what drinks were being handed out to the people. Colored drinks. Weird. She had never seen drinks of variant colors. The only colors she had seen
"He asked me to see him by eleven tonight so he could tell me the complete story of Lycaon," Heyli said as she pulled off her dress. Kayla wiggled her brows. "That story must be really interesting for you to actually sneak out by eleven," Heyli chuckled her chemise at Kayla who caught it in her hand and dumped it on the bed beside her. The girls were back in their room as soon as the clock struck seven. Heyli hadn't seen Loki throughout the day and neither had she seen Athena or Alexander. Melodie was just stepping out of the bathroom. Her body was wrapped in a towel. "Kayla's right. I can't believe you're going out by eleven just to see a guy you don't know," Heyli became defensive. "His name is Miguel," Kayla and Heyli exchanged looks before bursting into laughter. Heyli glared at them both but she said nothing. She wrapped a towel around her and went into the bathroom. She took her time there, opting for the soft scented shampoos for her skin and floral shampo
The suit was lit by scented candle lights. Athena sat on the Chippendale chair that faced the windows and she stared up at the night skies. She had spent most of her day in this room. It was oddly comforting. The walls that were repainted by the sunset and the twilight. Then she lit the candles, ignoring the lights she could turn on through the switch. There was something about candle lit rooms that made her feel like she was floating. She stood to her feet and walked to her as dinner was almost near. She wanted to be early so she could mingle with the other ladies who had been smiling at her when she was taking a walk in the afternoon. This was to avoid being in close contact with Alexander. There was something he was hiding from her and if he didn't trust her enough to tell her, she wasn't sure she wanted to have anything to do with him. As for Damien and Loki, theirs was still loading. She didn't have time yet. She took out a pale green dress. It was one of her fa
One thing Heyli loved about this place was the fact that she didn't have to go through gates. The doors directly lead out to the streets and once she was hit with a cold gust of wind, she closed her eyes and sighed in relief. "The Lycaon Statue," She muttered under her breath. That was where Miguel said they were going to meet. Pulling up her gown, she climbed down the stairs and turned to the northern side of the road. The streets were void of people but amber lights flooded the roads and she was able to see under them. She actually didn't need any light to see but she needed to see Miguel. Somehow, she didn't trust her sense of vision to lead her to the right person. As she hurried down the road, she made sure to look back. Someone might be following her. No one was and she hastened her footsteps. She just hoped Hathaway had forgotten about her. As she turned her head to see if anyone was following after her, she bumped into a hard body and nearly fell on her kn
