A WEEK LATER ✍️

“You’re almost there, Shilah! Harder!”
“Come on! You can do it, just a little harder!”
“Keep going!”
“Urgh!”
Shilah’s ears were filled Bastet’s incentivizing words as she fought hard with her sword against the standing wood. The sun which was directly overhead was frowning at her and making her drip with sweat, but she didn’t let it distract her target as she continued striking against the hard wood.
“Remember your elbows, you can do it” Bastet urged.
Shilah twirled around and finally, with a loud grunt, she cut the wood into two.
“Hmmm” came Bastet’s sigh immediately. “You finally did it”
Shilah was panting heavily as she looked at her achievement. Turning around, she met the smiling face of Bastet.
“This was the most difficult, the wood was too hard” Shilah could barely wheeze out her words as she walked away from the woods.
“It’s the most difficult for now. You should brace up, Shilah. We still have so much to do”.
With her long hair packed in ponytail and her body perfectly hugged by the training leather, Shilah looked just like a Mord-sith. She dropped her sword and reached for her water jar. She gulped thirstily from it with little drops falling off her lips.
“A week ago, I had no idea I could even use a stick” she heaved, wiping her lips with the back of her palm. “So, I must say I’m proud of myself”.
Bastet bent her head and chuckled.
Taken enough water, Shilah was trying to close the jar when her eyes suddenly caught someone from the window – staring at her. No doubt, it was Bastet’s daughter. She was watching from the window of her room, but the moment she noticed Shilah had seen her, she withdrew and closed up the curtains.
“We should take a break” Bastet said from behind. “Just catch a short rest and return as soon as possible”
That was what Shilah needed most at the moment. She nodded at Bastet and walked away, headed towards the house.
…
Getting in, Shilah knocked at the door of Jael’s room and waited a few seconds before the door was opened. Jael’s distraught face showed up, but the moment she realized it was Shilah, she banged the door.
Really?
Shilah took in a deep breath and knocked again, but there was no reply. She knocked three more times before having the door opened again.
“What do you want? Get away from my room” Jael murmured as she partly held the door and stood behind it. It was obvious she didn’t even want Shilah to see her face.
“Hey, calm down, Jael. I’m not here for trouble, okay? I just want to talk” Shilah answered calmly with a hand gesture.
“Well, I don’t want to talk to you, and I don’t want to see your face. So, just go”. She tried closing the door again, but Shilah was quick enough to stop her.
Jael held onto the door from behind while Shilah held hers from the front.
“My name is Shilah” She cooed, hoping Jael was listening. “Unfortunately, I can’t give you a surname now because… I’m just confused. I can’t give credits to the man who brought me up – he was so mean and partial and turned out not to be my biological father. I also can’t give credits to my biological father because… I just found out some really mean things about him – like him denying my mother when she had gotten pregnant with me” she paused and chuckled – dolefully.
“I have a son who’s currently missing and yes, I am married to the Alpha King, but that doesn’t make me the Alpha King himself. So, if you wouldn’t mind, please, stop pushing me away”.
Silence dropped afterwards, but with how calm Jael was, Shilah could tell she had hit a spot.
“Can we just… go for a walk? Please? I’ve been bored here ” Shilah asked shortly.
“I… I don’t want to”.
“Please, Jael. Your mother tells me you’ve been locked up here for so long. Just come with me. Please?”
Jael stayed silent. And slowly, Shilah opened the door fully and held her hand. She jerked and tried withdrawing, but was pulled back by Shilah.
“You don’t have to struggle. I’m completely harmless. Okay?” She cooed, observing how Jael danced her eyes on the floor. She couldn’t even look her in the face.
“I… I just want to be in my room ” she stuttered.
“I know that is what you want. But what you need is a good walk. So please, come with me”.
…
Few minutes later and Shilah and Jael could be seen walking down the quiet path.
