"You didn't say exactly how you were imprisoned."
His lour to quieten her down simply incited her to question more."Where were you going before changing course?"
"Did you fake your death?" The crowd's statement patently implied it, it was a hunch until proven otherwise.
"Why would you need to know?" His remark was cold yet she didn't let herself be affected."Duh?! Partnership."
"I agreed for you to shut up, what you're not doing." Sachar admonished, Lyla clicked her tongue.
Relevant things are kept from her, even the information that she's aware of is an unfinished puzzle.
Aside when it's absolutely necessary, the child of the prophecy doesn't utter a single word.
The silent treatment evidently is a manner to forcefully drive her home, undoubtedly demonstrating he isn't anywhere elated by her presence.
Her persistence did not acquire any response, to the extent of accumulating many frustrations.
"You don't trust me one bit." The spoiled brat said sulking, her lament was let out in a suspire."It would be easier if you fell for me."
"I might." The man confirmed firmly, a thrill of joy came over her."Really?!"
"All you need to do is go back to your place of origin." Counseled haughtily.
"You…" Grinding her teeth, the brunette exclaimed."I'll make you head over heels for me!"
"By all means." The child of the prophecy mocked with open arms.
Reaching a complete opposite of the previous roadway, they were in a place brimming with sun rays, uncommon fauna and flora where the pampered girl deemed perfect to start her advances.
"This is not enough." Her everyday makeup was too shabby to get a reaction from that cranky guy.
"I need a natural beauty amplifier." The vivid plants inside her camp of vision became her test subjects.
After much of mixing this, adding that, it was time for the quality test. Satisfied with the final results, the model's daughter went to exhibit them.
"How do I look?" Pompously, the pampered girl inquired.
The diy experimental beauty products inflicted a handful of side effects, broke her nails, inflated her lips, compressed her eyes, swollen her cheeks, hardened her skin, damaged her hair…
"You'll successfully attract any doctor." The man made fun of her who frenetically searched for a mirror.
Seeing her reflection in a puddle, her pained scream scared away any potential danger that might have been lurking around.
If my mother caught me, her only child, in this state, she would disown me!
That's not the appearance befitting for an international super model's daughter. If it were to delve into details, her spare attire isn't remotely appropriate neither.
"Forever…unpretty." Sorrowfully weeping, the ugly beast covered that horrendous visage."I have no structure to survive the constant unkind comments, prejudice, don't forget mistreatment!"
"You'll be normal in a few hours." Sachar informed her, a hint of concern from her overreacting.
"Oh, that's great." The little sheep was extremely relieved, her tears were those of joy."I wouldn't stand to be deprived of my beauty privilege!"
It was past sun set, her gourgerness regressed to normalcy what fueled her newfound gusto to pursue romancing that cranky guy.
The starry sky was dazzling to someone who generally couldn't do stargazing without a telescope due to the city's immoderate public illumination.
That wonderful sight set up the mood on its own, the romantic moonlit dinner cooked by the brunette herself was the cherry on top… or at least it was supposed to.
"As a thanks and a form of stealing your heart, enjoy!" The amateur cook presented the dishes on improvised leaf plates.
The parts of those meals that weren't a hundred percent comparable to what one would throw up after eating in a unsanitary restaurant, were lethargically moving out of the plates, more accurately slowly dying in the sauce.
The two did not have the bravery nor the stupidity to dig in, afterwards some minutes observing that unintended poison they exchanged an vexed look.
"... You cook tonight as well?" Her full-time bodyguard accepted the suggestion on the spot.
Depressed at her failed moves, the rich girl lied down in a fallen trunk, that piece of wood didn't substitute her limited edition vip couch.
"Nothing is working…" The woman bleated melancholically, out of the blue had an epiphany."That 's it! I'm trying too hard!"
I shouldn't waste time trying to woo him, I'll win over his pet snake.
That way I'll impress him AND prevent me from getting bitten, pay one get two!
The weird malignous snickers provoked him into taunting that sheltered girl, it would be uncourt to let it go unnoticed.
"Your first disappointment weighed you down this much? Oh, poor thing."
"You wish." The brunette had an unshakable confidence."You'll fall for me naturally!"
"You're a funny one." He looked at her as if she had gone crazy, bursting out into a contagious laugh.
Unbothered, Lyla asked to see his pet snake, amused with her plans the full time bodyguard complied, although a tad reluctantly.
"Fayez." The blue snake emerged from his shoulder blade, the pampered girl was about to reach out her hand to pet the animal who began hissing.
"Careful, he's got an nasty attitude." He disdained.
"Aww, you take after your owner!" She insolently talked back.
Taking in consideration the recent undesired outcome, the politician's daughter adopted a brand new approach, bribing.
"Here's a treat, Fez!" The little sheep offered a tasty fruit to persuade the blue serpent into submission.
Fayez has an indestructible allegiance to me, a bond one could never achieve with such a petty trick.
"Ha, a mere treat won't ever coax him." Sachar interjected arrogantly.
The reptile eagerly swallowed the fruit, a triumphal smug adorned her lips while the snake happily allowed her to pet it.
The hurt in his face was one of a brutal betrayal, his pride was crushed into tiniest fragments of miniscule shards.
"Fayez!" The master was boiling in anger."You two-faced snake!"
The guilty animal was submerging back on his shoulder, the owner grasped it by the tail, impeding it from absconding.
"Going somewhere?" His massive frown indicated that forgiveness was unavailable.
Shaking its head, the blue snake nervously smiled, dripping in sweat. Maintaining his composure, the furious master spoke.
"Perfect, let's have a little chat, shall we?" Sachar beamed in pure indignation, the reptile screamed ruefully.
"Now, now, why don't you explain the reason you switched me for food? He gave the blue snake a soft squeeze."I don't feed you enough, is that it?"
Perplexed, Lyla watched her personal ancient evil reprimanding the unfaithful serpent which tearfully brushed its head on his hand to get away from the scolding, to no avail.
That's the first time Sachy lost his cool like that, Fez must be very important to him.
"My plan will go smoothly." Giggling, she mumbled to herself, that's a scheme her dad would be proud, simple but effective.
