That morning Lina woke up unusually early, she sat up slowly on the bed and stretched out enthusiastically with a joyful smile illuminated by the orange color of the sun's rays.When she turned her head she saw Natasha in the corner of the room just next to the window in a way that she was hidden from the sunlight. She was sitting on a stool while wearing a tracksuit and it seemed like she stopped all her movements when she felt Lina's gaze on her as if she had just gotten caught red-handed. She was immobile with the shoelaces in her hands while she was about to tie her shoes and didn't move at all even to raise her head when Lina asked her "What are you doing?"She lifted her head slowly and with a forced smile, she gazed away as if she was looking for a good excuse before she said with an uncertain tone " I-I... I woke up surprisingly early and I felt like going outside, you know... to do some jogging".Lina's smile faded away, and she stared at Natasha with an annoyed expression,
Natasha slammed the door of her home after entering in a hurry.While she was running towards her room, Dana, who had been surprised by the loud noise, followed her to inquire about the situation. She stopped at the entrance of Natasha's room, which had been left wide open, and stared at her while she was changing clothes, "what is happening?"The latter glanced at her surprised but didn't pay her much more attention though. After she put on her boots, she stood up and, hopped twice before she stared at Dana. The young girl analyzed her from top to bottom and by looking at her outfit she concluded that something important happened, she frowned after she decided to not let it go."Hey, tell me what is wrong, why do you seem so pressed to go out? And by the way, where is Ja-""Listen, I really don't have time to waste," Natasha stopped her coldly, she got a thoughtful expression for a very short moment, then, she told her, "Look, stay here and wait, I'm sure Lina will come to take you t
Back on the Battlefield, her sword in hand Natasha could feel a new load of strength flowing in her body, and in a sense, she was convinced that it was thanks to the arrival of Jamal. Even though she didn't want to admit it, the bad thoughts on what could have happened to him had kept bugging her, she had done her best to focus on the enemies before her but it was not easy to get rid of those thoughts from her mind.That was why even surrounded by fearful adversaries animated by the only desire to kill them, she couldn't stop smiling joyfully. Having the chance to fight side by side with the man she admired the most was giving her such wonderful emotions that she would be incapable of explaining. All the worries that were invading her heart immediately vanished away by the only sight of his face.[Since he is here we have already won this war] she couldn't help but tell herself.Besides the fact that she could feel her exhaustion diminishing, she also sensed that it became easier for
All around him, Jamal could hear the cheers of the people who had been his allies during the last few days, battle after battle they had been putting their lives on the line for the sake of those who were not capable of protecting themselves. Every one of them probably lost a friend or someone dear during those wars and even their memories had been lost for the majority of them, though they have slowly started to recover. Jamal understood that euphoria, they couldn't contain themselves they had the conviction then that their sacrifices were not a waste.Jamal looked up at the sky, whose brightness, was one of the biggest pieces of proof that showed that indeed they had survived another night.The dawn, which was symbolizing their victory."Let me help you put her in the car," Volga proposed to Jamal while he was carrying the exhausted Natasha."Thank you," he said as he was handing her the girl in his arms."Don't say it," Volga replied while she was laying Natasha on the back seat of
What was convenient was that Natasha's home was near the place of the gathering which meant that they didn't need cars to go there which, anyway, would have not been possible since the cars couldn't move due to the huge crowd present there. They just had to walk for a few minutes and they soon arrived in front of the house.Lina didn't even reach the door yet it got opened from inside. Matteo passed his head outside and took his time to stare at all the faces of each of the people before him before he opened wide the door and stepped aside to let them pass. He made an effort to keep an indescribable expression but Jamal could, without an effort, tell that at that moment he was feeling so much relieved.Carla was the first one to enter followed by Nelson, Sania, Don, Volga, and last Jamal and Lina, who was clinging to his arm and didn't want to let him go.Lina indicated to Carla the direction of Natasha's room and guided the rest of the group to the living room, she served each of the
The sun rays came in through the window. Jamal removed slowly his sheet and went out of his bed, " Ha, here we go again " sighed Jamal with a little sad smile on his face. He went to the bathroom took a shower, prepared himself for the long day which was waiting for him, took his bag, and left his place.He lived all alone in a little apartment even though it was easier for him to get a bigger house, " a little place like this one is much enough for me, " he said the day he chose the apartment. He preferred tight places as they were easy for him to handle, and he has been like that ever since the deaths of his parents, which had happened before he was even 10, and even more after his older sister had disappeared 2 years ago.He left his home, went down the stairs, and at the moment he stepped out on the street a little boy ran toward him in hurry and started to shout and cry " Jamal! Jamal! Help me Jamal ... Karen... you have to help ... Karen is in danger... please "." Calm down fir
It was about 2 p.m when all the youngsters finished their training and prepared to leave the hall. Jamal was arranging his stuff when Natasha approached him, her voice was soft when she said, " I wanted to apologize for earlier. It was not my intention to put them in danger, you know? "." Yes I know it, and I'm also sorry for reacting so emotively... I didn't mean to lash out at you". Jamal scratched the back of his head, " I know that you all just want to help quickly rebuild the city but you should not rush to the point you are endangering yourselves "." We are just upset that we are all forced to only half of our lives, " Natasha said while taking a sad look at her comrades while they were preparing to leave.After hearing that, Jamal couldn't help but bow his head, feeling a bit sad. Despite knowing that it was nothing his fault, he couldn't help but feel sorrowful when he looked at the faces of all these poor kids as he would have wanted to do more for them.Even if it happened
Lina's home was a quite normal place nearby the church and also the city hall, unlike her boyfriend she was not among those who were forced to change their houses, due to the fact that she was already living in that part of the city. Although she was proposed many times a better house than hers when Jamal was removing people because of the increase in criminality, she gently refused and said that she was satisfied with her actually living place and she was happy because it was quite close to her workplace.Indeed Lina was actually the official mayor of Stainfall city. When people wanted to rebuild the city after the catastrophe she humbly accepted to take the mayor's seat after the demise of the previous one. Despite not being the real chief of the city like Jamal, her job was not less crucial and exhaustive.After the removal of all the population, she worked hard for many months to permit them the re-opening of most of their stores and offices, and she also managed to find and conv
