Haze of Dusk (A trilogy) Read online

  “They know…” I repeat. The dizziness gently fades.

  “I’m sorry I crept in, but I did not want you to leave thinking I’d rejected you…” I weakly smile.

  “I don’t mind. You are here like in my dream,” his eyes widen.

  “You’ve dreamt of me?” I blush.

  “J-just…once…” I say hesitantly, bashfully bowing down my head. He takes my chin and lifts me up, so our eyes can meet. “I’ve always dreamed of you…even before I met you,” he whispers, his words take my breath away, drying my mouth and leaving me lifeless. “I’m going to miss you for those fourteen days,” he fondles my cheek. I warily wrap my hands around his waist and lay my head on his hard-chest. His heat takes over me. I’m shock I hold him with so much want, but it’s what my body needs to feel complete. “I’m glad you are here.” I whisper. “Come with me?” I ask, wanting him forever. He chuckles. “I can’t. The leaders want me to investigate the coconut tree. They want to know why or who created it,” he says mockingly. I giggle. Well, they sent the wrong person. “Moreover, I can take this opportunity and search for that arclaw Adelena spoke of.” I shove myself away from him.

  “No. You can't go there. She said it’s a dangerous task. That arclaw is dangerous.” I say panicky, he holds my chin.

  “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

  “Can it be…your pursuing her because you think she might be your…mother?” I hesitate to ask. He bows down his head, and quickly meets back with me, this time without leaving my sight. “There are answers only she can give me and…who knows, perhaps Sepias’s knowledge is the solution. Perhaps she knows how to liberate the arclaws.” I press my lips together. He makes his passion for freedom conspicuous. It’s there I figured, when Willow pointed at me before dying, it was him she saw through me. Khysso’s motivation and compassion is what’s going to end the haze of dusk. I exhale gloomily. “Then, can I go with you? We’ll travel together like you promised,” he laughs.

  “Do not worry so much, visit your family. Worry not, Judyala. I will grant you that promise one day. Nevertheless, it is not the time yet.” I miserably exhale.

  “Will I ever see you again?” I mutter, looking at the sheets from my bed. He chortles, I think amused by my sentiments. He enfolds his hands around my hips. His body against mine. His embrace secludes the night, preventing a word of farewell.

  The End,

  Till’ spellbound…
