❤️ A Man Called Storm (Part 28) ❤️
"I was shown her grave Gwen so I know what I am saying," Storm said afterwards not liking the look Gwen was giving him. "Besides her father keeps calling Rumi by his late daughter Juno, who does that?"
It wasn't until Warlord Emera had called Rumi by his daughter's name that he believed she was truly dead. How can a full grown man not recognize his own blood daughter? Plus the sorry state he and his house was in. Warlord Emera was full of life back then when he knew him but his daughter's death was a big blow to him.
"What if she is not Juno and you are thinking she is?" Gwen asked, bringing Storm out of his thoughts.
"She is the one Gwen. She is the only one who has got blue hair in the whole Ashland and brown eyes," Storm said. "I can forget about other things but I can't forget that, never."
"Says the guy who claimed to hate her. You remember pretty much about her hell you haven't even forgotten about her eye color," Gwen said to Storm, ignoring his glare. "Maybe you don't hate her, Storm, maybe you like her and you don't know that yet. You are only hurting because she was the first person to open her arms widely at you regardless of your skin color and then she stabbed you. That is why you are hurt and pretending as if you hate her but it is the opposite, you want her to accept you."
"You don't know anything Gwen. You are not in my heart Gwenevere and stop wishing for things that wouldn't happen."
"I'm not in your heart Storm but that does not mean I don't see things with my eyes," Gwen said and raised both brows. "So what do you want to do now?"
"I am waiting for Rumi." Storm gave his short simple answer to her.
"You are waiting for her? Why?" Gwen asked, rolling her eyes at him.
"She did not come yesterday like she'd promised but trust me she will come today and I will take her to see Juno."
"The other guy with your Juno likes me so I am going to use that opportunity to query him to tell me why they are both here," Gwen said with a smile.
Ignoring Juno's part, Storm said to Gwen in a surprised tone. "For once in your life you are saying something intelligent," Gwen's smile faded away quickly. "Oh don't pretend as if you don't know what I mean sister."
"Whatever, I am staying here with you until Rumi, your woman who you choose over me arrives."
"You can stand as my guard while I sleep. I have to think of ways to punish Juno," Storm said and went to lay on his bed, closing his eyes immediately.
Guard him her foot.
Gwen didn't say anything. She went to sit on the bed and place one of her legs on it, placing her head on her up knee, she closed her eyes.

Prison:
"What was that for?" Juno hissed out the words in anger. She made sure the guards were out of their sight and hearing before she glared at Kando. "Are you high on something?"
They were put in separate cells that was facing each other. Kira was holding the iron bars separating her from Kando.
"I only did that to know the strength of him, he is strong though but he is still no match for me and besides the girl is truly beautiful. I did not lie about that and she has caught my eyes."
"Whatever you do with her is none of my business Kando, just don't forget the reason why we are here," Kira said. "The dark one that was staring at me as if he could beat me if we were to fight, who is he? Dean never made any mention of a dark skinned guy apart from his brother and his two sons, so who is he?" she asked. She could have sworn with her life that she has met before. His two mismatched eyes which stared at her with so much hatred looked so familiar to her and she was very sure she had seen him before. But where? Why is everything in Ashland so familiar to her? Was she living here before Dean found her?
"I don't know and I haven't seen him before but his skin color looks like that of Phoenix.  And if what I am thinking is true then.....then....then...."
"Then what? Just hit the nail on the wall instead of beating around the bushes," Kira said, growing frustrated by the minute.
"Then it will be very difficult to escape from here. If truly he is Phoenix's son we need to be careful or else our plan will backfire."
"Why do you say so Kando? You just met him and you are talking as if you've stayed with him before."
"I have stayed with Phoenix before and I know what she can do. We should be very careful of him."
Kira nodded her head and sat down on the cold bare ground, resting her body on the wall.
"I hope they don't starve us to death," Kira said, expecting no response from Kando.
Oh the things I am doing for you Dean.
Kira thought and closed her eyes.
"When we have eventually left this godforsaken place, are you going to take the girl along?"
"Yes. If we are leaving Ashland back to Kudarma Kingdom, I am taking her with me either with my sweet words or with force."
