Part 13


Lina brushed her hair, lazily recalling the night before. She stopped and glanced over at the ring sparling from her finger. She heard the door open and thinking Zel had returned called out. "Hey did you get the food? I'm starving!"

"Sorry Lina darling." s deadly familiar voice answered.

Lina set the brush down, her face showing no emotion as she turned.

"Well you should have known better."

Xellos smiled from the doorway.

"So Xellos how'd you find me?" she asked.

Xellos strided up to where she was sitting and placed his finger lightly on her lips. "Now that, my dear, is a secret."

Lina punched Xellos in the gut and he bowled over, gasping in pain. "I hate it when you say that."

"And I love it when you play rough." he smiled. "So Lina darling, where's the body guard?"

"Hmm? You mean Zel? He's getting food."

"Xellos looked slightly surprised then smiled evilly. "Oh really. So the little puppy is taking care of you.. now isn't that cute. Looks like you were on the road to success after all."

Lina smirked and rasied her left hand. "He proposed. That means where ever you take me, he'll be sure to follow."

"Oh Rezo's gonna love this." Xellos laughed.
