Dinela finished and I also went to take my a shower, I did my thing and got out, applied body lotion and wore my night gown, now its 10:00pm.
"Tomorrow is a big day." Dinela said
"Yes it." I replied as my eye lids got heavy.
"Good night ladies." Alero said.
"Night night."
"Sleep tight." I replied Dinela and I was out like a light.
"She can never get away from me, no matter how hard she try, no matter what she does, I'll always be there, I'll always find her."
"No, leave her alone!!!" I screamed on the top of my lungs.
"Hurry!!" I heard them say, they already had their hands on each other's shoulder, the ring was floating in the air.
"Don't leave without me!!!" I screamed as I ran to meet them.
"Trust me Dinela, you do not want to get in the middle of Axymah and I fight, this party is just the thing I need, after this, she'll never celebrate another birthday party in her life." I couldn't care less what he thinks.
"Axymah is my friend and no matter what, I'll always have her back, and I'll help her bring you down!" I stop to tell him this as I kept running up the hill.
"I have eyes and ears everywhere I'll always be two steps ahead of you, Axymah can't make it without both of you—"
"Shir up you crazy MF sociopath."
"Okay, I'll have it your way.....this is where you'll meet your end." I'm almost there, just a little bit further.
I heard two loud bangs and I froze.
"Axymah!! Wake up!!!" I heard and I jolted awake.
"Dinela?! Are you alright? He shot you, he...." I ranted on.
"I'm fine, but what's wrong?—"
"He knows!! He knows!!" I turned to Alero and grabbed her hand.
"Who? We don't understand you." Alero said confused as mom came running, she literarily pushed them away from me as she came to me.
"Baby? You're alright."
"No, no I'm not, he knows."
"Take deep breathes, in and out."
"No mom, no!!" I know I probably will pass out from lack of oxygen if I don't do as she say but I couldn't care less right now.
"Please, for me, " that did the trick because after that, I shut my mouth hole and started trying to take deep breathes "that's it, in and out honey, in and out."
"Mom?!—"
"Its alright you don't need to say anything." She shut me up, I calmed down after a while and started crying.
"What happened Azyma? What were you babbling about?" Dinela asked as both her and Alero sat on my bed, each taking my sides.
"He knows." I said as I wipes my face with the tissue Alero gave me.
"Who knows?"
"Dario!!", I looked at them " he knows we are going to the underworld, and he is coming to my party to try and stop us, he will try to atop you guys from coming with me."
"Are you serious? But how did he know?"
"I don't know, someone must have told him, he knows I can't go on this journey without you two and he will do anything to stop you ladies from coming with me, even if it means—"
"Killing us." Dinela finished my sentence, Alero just sat back and stared at a loss of words.
"But how did he know? Only the three of us, your parent and Mavery knows." Alero said.
"Your parent couldn't have told him and Mavery definitely won't say anything then how did he know?" Dinela said. Then it clicked.
"Did any of you talk to Austin, he told me in my dream that he has eyes and ears everywhere, so did Austin talk to any of you? Did he ask anything?"
"No, no he didn't, I have even blocked and deleted his contact so there is no way he could have asked me, and I told Alero to do the same so no way he could have t—"
"Yes he did." Alero said.
"What!!!" Dinela yelped in surprise.
"Austin chatted me up last night, he was asking random questions about us, then he said Dario will always find you, that it's a pity you're going to die, you don't deserve all you're getting, and I told him that's not going to happen because you're going to the land of myth, and you're not going to die."
"I can't believe you told him that!!"
"And I also told him that we're going to help you do that, and he said what if you don't go with us? And I told him that you can't make it without us—"
"How could you tell him something like that?"
"He is our friend, he has to know, I was even thinking he should come with us."
"Are you out of your mind?"
"No I'm not."
"How could you do this to me? I thought you were my friend, you told Austin this and Austin went to tell Dario, now he is unto me again, apart from all the troubles we'll face, Dario will try everything and pull every tricks just to hinder me from this."
"I believe if we talk to Austin then he can be spying on Dario for us instead of the other way around, Austin is really a nice perso—"
"Don't you get it Alero? This is not about you, its about Azyma, it her decision to make."
"Yes but—"
"But nothing, you have out not only her but also us in danger."
"Austin can not come with us, its not even up for argument." I said as I sat up.
"Well if Austin is not going I am not going to go either."
"She stated firmly."
"Okay, don't go with me, its fine," my answer shook her to the core "Dinela are you st—"
"Yes of course I'm coming with you," I got up and walked to the bathroom "you're a fool Alero, a very naive one." Dinela said as I entered the bathroom, she is right, Alero is even more than a fool, I can't go with her, she is too trusting, she will put me in danger and create even more problems for me on the way.
I did my business and took my bath, I got out and saw a lovely turquoise dress on my bed.
I walked to it with my mouth hanging open, "this dress is beyond beautiful." I said in awe.
"I know right, your mom picked it out." Dinela said.
"She has a great taste, she always know what I like." I kept my eyes glued to the dress eye raping it.
"I don't want to burst your bubble by saying this and I don't think I'll get another chance to tell you this." Dinela said in all seriousness.
"What is it?" Curiosity eating its way through me.
Flashback
"You chose Austin then over Azyma, that's sad and wrong, ever heard of sisters before bros?"
"I said that with the hope that Azyma will tell me not to go and it worked." Alero jubilates.
"What!!! Why?"
"Because if I go with, Dario will kill me, he knows Azyma can't make it on her journey without us, Austin told me this and told me to back out that Azyma is going to die in a months time that she won't make it."
"What!!!!!!" I yelled, a lump formed in my throat.
"But he also said in the land if myth time is slower that once she goes there she'll have only three months left to leave, and he also advised me to tell you to also back out of helping her, her chances of succeeding are very slim."
"You know he told you all these so we can both back out and Azyma will be all alone."
"Yes I do but he thinks I don't."
"Then why are you doing this?"
"Dario will kill both of us if we don't stop helping Azyma, and I don't want to die yet."
"Alero!!!", I yelled " you are out of your goddamn mind."
"I've told you my own, if you like listen, if you like don't, that's your problem, I'm going to go home and get dressed, then attend this party like a guest." With that she stood up and left.
End of flashback.
"I'm so sorry." Dinela said. I took a sit on the bed with my hands on my face.
"Maybe she is right, in my dream Dario shot you, I don't want you guys risking your like for me, I'm going to die soon anyways."
"You knew you have only a month to live?"
"Yes."
"Then why don't you use that one month with your family?"
"Because that bastard will win, once I go there I'll have three months left and a chance to bring Dario down and I am not going to throw it away."
"Hmm." She simply said.
"You shouldn't come with me either, I'm going to go alone, I don't want anything to happen to you or any one else because of me."
"Okay, I won't go since you're insisting." Her answer took me off guard but its alright.
"Yeah."
"But we are still friends, change into your birthday dress and I'll help you with your makeup, your mom will style your hair because I don't know how to.
"Okay, thanks."
"Don't thank me, we are still friends."
