NETYISHA'S POINT OF VIEW.
"Thank you for escorting me all this way Reverred…?"
Misty pauses and gives a guilty expression,
She stares at me with questioning eyes.
-She only realised that; she doesn't know my name-
"Netyisha…my name is Netyisha...".
She nods relieved.
I turn to go;
"But why no stay for some tea?...I promise it's not any ordinary tea…it's my special recipe you see..."
She holds me back excitedly.
"Some other time Misty?...";
She gazes up at me in disappointment, and nods,
I perceive another presence.
-I look up at the ceiling; a little rat?-
"Now you better go inside now..."
I mumble on a note of finality while opening the door leading to her chambers and gently pushing her inside,
She looks at me quizically as I shut the door behind her.
I look up again;
-I am certainly being followed-
I smile,
-How would that rat like to be roasted?-
I begin to walk away,
The person carefully trails after me,
-Just what I wanted-
Like a flash, I snap my fingers, and a flame engulfs the area behind me.
A pained shriek breaks into the atmosphere,
I turn to see a hooded figure on the floor shielding it's face with it's hands
"The hooded one?" I blurt in unbelief,
"No…"
-it's a lady-
She drops her hands, and I see that it is a low rank reverred
She looks absolutely terrified-
"What do you want?" I question snappily,
She quivers and stammers;
"I'm sorry…I was sent",
I glare at her;
"By who…?",
She gulps hard.
"Death by fire would be more horrible than anything else…especially if I steam-fry you…" I prod as I produce a wave of flames above her head,
She shivers;
"But they said you wouldn't be so vicious" she yaps,
I walk to her and crouch to her level;
"Well…they lied",
She stares at me curiously and begins to chuckle, before looking up at me mischievously;
"Well…it's not like you can actually kill me…can you?, I mean Reverred code exists right?"
She undertones in a completely different tone; and with a completely different personality.
I smirk;
"Thank you for asking if I can…",
I slap her cheek with a flame, she yelps in pain,
"Still want to ask if I can?"
She shakes her head fervently as tears stream down her eyes she holds her scalded cheek.
"I thought so…now, I'll ask again, who sent you to spy on me?"
I glare straight into her eyes;
"I was sent by…"
She suddenly hooks in her sentence.
Then she begins convulsing her body jerking around.
I gaze at her as she suddenly evaporates,
-I am alarmed-
I grit my teeth;
-I want to know who's responsible for this-
NETYISHA'S POINT OF VIEW END.
THE HOODED ONE'S POINT OF VIEW.
"On the contrary, there are quite numerous other ways of murdering people painfully, even without the use of fire"
I remark after hearing her story and digesting the facts.
"Please tell me you have something more reasonable than that to tell me Mr Hooded one" she undertones while sighing heavily,
I hum to myself cheerfully as I flip the page of my book,
"So you're telling me…that someone from the Reverred is spying on you and is apparently not working alone?"
"Yes" she concurs excitedly
"Do you have any idea who it might be?" she asks hopefully,
-I smile to myself- ;
"My dear Netyisha…of course I absolutely DO NOT know anybody in the Reverred and so lack proficient knowledge to decipher the identity of our culprit"
She sighs in disappointment.
"This is all up to you…you must see past the surface value, you see no foe worth your hassle would be easy to discover by mere appearances, so work by intuition and a little more…",
I pause;
"That is all I can say for now…" I state on a note of finality,
She regards me curiously;
"All you 'can' say or all you 'want' to say?" she regards me while standing up, I laugh ;
"It's all I 'will' say".
She pauses in her steps;
"You know…the spy wore a hood like you do, looking past face value is making me suspect you have some connection with this all…" she mumbles, now I;
-Laugh out loud-
"You're free to think whatever you want dear Netyisha but don't you reckon suspecting an acquaintance such as myself is quite beyond 'value' itself?",
Her countenance softens;
"Forgive me then…for my over-assertion".
***************************
"Hooded one",
A female voice breaks into my reading session.
I nod in response;
"I was expecting you…well?, how did it go?"
I ask in disinterest.
"I didn't really finish up…but about the girl I used…will she be okay?"
She asks in concern,
I shrug;
"Whether she's okay or not all depends on you…don't you think Mayter?"
She begins to quiver;
"And what's the likelihood Netyisha will find out?" she stammers,
I chuckle;
"In the last hour…I'd say it's increased by a hundred percent…"
THE HOODED ONE'S POV END.
