On Sunday Cedric left with Jack and I stayed at home alone cooking and finishing planting some plants and vegetables until a voice called my attention saying
Mysterious woman's voice: Are you Sapphire?
I stood up and turned to where the voice came from, there were 2 women, the soft-spoken one who had asked was a very pretty woman of 1.73 with reddish and wavy hair long to a little below her shoulders, her eyes were green and her skin was tanned, in a way she reminded me of Luisa.
The other woman was already a little older, her hair was white as snow, her eyes were black, her skin was creamy white, she was not as tall as the other woman, she was 1.68, she didn't have Elf ears but I was curious, the older woman approached me and said
Older woman: it is a pleasure to finally meet you sapphire, my name is Alessa.
She looked at me in a calm manner while the other girl just kept her distance, I approached Alessa and said.
Me: it's nice to meet you Ms. Alessa.
Alessa who sees the redhead sighs a little says: it seems that Delilah a a you don't give her confidence, she only came because I told her I would come.
I look at her curiously and then I look at Alessa and I tell her: I understand perfectly, it is a normal reaction.
Alessa asked me about the reason for the house near the village, so I explained to her what had happened when Cedric came back with me from the village, I told her about my slight feeling and how I partly insisted him to stay here near his people.
Delilah who listens attentively asks: don't you miss your 'people'?
I paused a bit long and said: my people are no longer humans... - I preferred to keep silent for the rest of the sentence since it was better not to continue with that and I said: "Believe it or not, you are also important to me.
Alessa did not say anything but I know she saw my gestures of great mixed emotions, Delilah who was going to continue questioning me Alessa told her that they should go back to the village and that in a few hours there would be a meeting, I accompanied them to the door and said goodbye, I decided to wait for them to enter the village since I also needed fresh air.
After Cedric came back I told him who had gone to the house, I omitted some details as I didn't want Cedric to fight with Delilah and everything would go wrong again. Although when I went out with Paula who knew me well, she spooned the truth out of me and in a short silence she said
Paula: You didn't do anything wrong little girl, it was a lie yes, but it has a good purpose... Besides, I don't think Delilah did it with bad intentions.
I saw it that way too and I believed in it to be calmer, I had bought some curtains and some fake animal skins for the house, if Cedric didn't like them I could change them for others more subtle so to say.
