A Whole New Me

Azalea hasn’t seen Llorel at all today. At dinner she sat with Dylinn and a couple others in the dining hall. After dinner she helped clear off the tables. She wanted to hear the rest of what Dylinn had to say to her but it was getting dark and she has enough nightmares, she didn’t want to be thrown into another.
“Thanks for helping me Azalea,” Ms. Sarah said as Azalea brought in the last of the dishes.
“You’re welcome Mrs. Sarah, it’s the least I could do, and dinner was great, thank you.”
“You’re very welcome honey I’m glad you enjoyed yourself.”
“Yea but I think I may have enjoyed myself a bit too much.” That made Sarah laugh, her laugh was so bubbly it filled the entire kitchen.
“Well I guess I did my job right,” she smiled. It was more like to perfection, Sarah is an awesome cook. “So how are you feeling after your talk with Dylinn?” It shocked Azalea when Ms. Sarah didn’t refer to him as Master Williams like everyone else.
“Umm… truthfully I was angry and I couldn’t take any more so I made him stop.”
“Don’t feel bad almost everyone had him stop when it got to be too much. Come to think about it Llorel was the only one to stick it out till the very end.”
“I’d say it was because he’s hard-headed,” Azalea teased.
“That may be true but I feel bad for him I love him like my very own. Don’t ever feel as though you’re alone in all of this, you’re not,” she assured.
“My best friend would have loved to be here with me, she’s always dreamed of meeting vampires. Me on the other hand I never felt that way. We watched movies and shared books on them all of the time. Our favorite book and movie would have to be Twilight. I was team Jacob and she was always team Edward. She even makes me call her Leabella because she always dreamed about being in Bella’s position. I use to tell her not to get her hopes up because if she had ever met a vampire there’d be a 99% chance that they wouldn’t be able to love, and she would say that she’d meet that 1%.”
“You never told your best friend about this?”
“Nope, thanks to Llorel I never got a chance to.”
“Aww sorry honey but I’m sure he had his reasons, but it is always easier to go through this with a friend that has the type of attitude your friend Leabella has. Usually we don’t encourage others to tell anyone about this but I have a feeling your Leabella could be the exception, I’d love to meet her one of these days.”
“Maybe she’d be able to visit, I don’t know but I wouldn’t want her around if there was any possibility she’d be in any kind of danger.”
Mrs. Sarah insisted that Azalea got to bed. Azalea offered to help her with the dishes but she said that she had done enough.
Azalea walked up toward the guest room and saw Dylinn leaning against the door.
“Hey,” she said as she approached.
“Hey,” he said back, Azalea didn’t want to be rude by asking him to move so she stood there awkwardly and waited for him to move or speak, whichever came first. “I just wanted to make sure that you get up early tomorrow, you have training.”
“Training? Training for what?”
“Llorel thinks you need to learn self-defense, I’m pretty sure that you were informed about the numerous people after you.”
“People? I’m not sure that’s what those things were, but yea I was informed.”
“If Llorel’s not here in the morning I’ll send someone up to get you,” he informed.
“Ok, but how early is early?” Azalea’s used to school hours so she’s pretty much up early enough.
“Half past 5.” But Azalea was not expecting that.
“Fine but you might have to send everyone you got in order to wake me up that early.” He laughed at her but this time she didn’t mind.
“Alright well I guess you’d better get ready for bed. Sleep tight.”
“G’night Dylinn.”
