Luna Leo

Chapter 4

I woke up with a slight headache. The light from the moon illuminated my room. The window had been left open.

I opened my eyes slowly. Scanning the environment, I realized it was my room. How did I get here? Immediately, I remembered what had happened. Aziel!

I stood up and held my head. My head ached but it did not matter at this point.

I jumped out of my head and walked out of the room. All that was in my mind and head was Aziel.

The moon did a good job of illuminating the passage. The lanterns that were there were barely burning. Perhaps, the fuel had been exhausted.

“Where are you going?” Millicent questioned as she saw me worried. She was equally worried, seeing my reaction.

“Aziel"

That was all I could mutter as I ran quickly, looking for my husband. I was about to run back outside when I saw a battling sight. I held the door in shock.

Was it all a dream? No. I was very sure of what I saw. Aziel was lifeless. He was about to be buried when I lost consciousness.

Perhaps, Ellington had hit me on the head hence my passing out.

Noticing my presence, Ellington and Aziel turned to look at me. Ellington was discussing with Aziel. Aziel had a smile on his face as he crossed his hands behind his back.

Although I didn’t hear what he was saying, I knew it could not be something right as Ellington frowned his face.

Seeing me, Ellington kept mute. He turned and walked back in.

I stared at him as I tried to decipher what he could have been saying but his face was blank. He had no expression.

He kept mute as he walked past me, acting like I wasn’t there. What could have happened?

Aziel had a smile on his face as I walked toward him. I looked at Aziel and then again at my brother’s back as he walked inside.

My headache disappeared immediately after I saw him. Seeing his infectious smile, I smiled as well although I was still worried.

“What did he say? What were you discussing with my brother?” I questioned, standing right in front of him.

“It’s nothing. How are you? Are you okay now?” He questioned, examining my head with care and love. I blushed immediately.

“Yes, I am fine. I am good” I smiled. His touch had taken away the pain I felt. Then I remembered. It was not a dream. I had seen him lying lifeless. His body had turned white. Did a miracle happen?

“Hold on” I held his hands and examined them. His hands were normal. “What happened to you?"

I pinched myself again to be sure I was not dreaming or hallucinating. “Are you okay?” I questioned again, looking at his face.

“Yes, I am fine. I am very okay. Is anything the matter?” He looked at me with surprise.

No. I wasn’t dreaming. I was sure I saw him lying on the floor.

“You were…. You….” I stammered.

“Whatever happened must have happened in your head. Would you want to watch the stars with me? “ He smiled, holding my hands with love.
