HANA'S GONE I

Hana looked down on Aeklis. She kept away her flute and squatted in front of her. "You wanted my fiancée, right?" Aeklis shook her head from side to side to deny it. "Why not? Didn't you tell me that you don't want anyone or anything else but him?"

"That was what I thought earlier." Aeklis trembled as she spoke her reply. The pain was just too much. It was as if the sticks were being turned around to deal an extra damage on her flesh. "Please let go of me. I promise that I won't do anything bad. I won't do anything against mortals."
