Chapter 86

  Standing by the twin’s graves Niya sheds the last of her angry tears while praying for their souls. The sisters were a silent yet solid presence with them. They became her friends in a very short time and they fought like hell last night. They gave their life! Niya will take their revenge; she will make sure their sacrifice hasn’t gone in vain.

  “Niya?”

  She whirls around and finds Chase standing washed and dressed. Niya stumbles a step or two before her but stops abruptly. She is afraid to touch him although all she wants now is to kiss him. Chase understands her hesitation and walks towards her now standing with her eyes rooted on the ground. He lifts her chin up and makes her look into his eyes “Never lower your eyes before me.” He says. “You want to know why?”

  Niya nods her head slightly. Chase smiles and says “Because I want to see the love every moment that I am seeing now and because your eyes are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life.”
