Chapter 8 - CHAPTER 8: THE INTERACTION

It's already been a week since Luz and the others come to Imperial City. They quickly adapt to living at the mansion. Raven and Frost already enrolled into Imperial Academy together and both of them having a part time job at Raven's cousin restaurant after the study period. It's seemed that Rosa became clingier to him as he greets and interact with Noir more. He found that he really comfortable when Noir around as he always becomes the centre of attention of all the women members in the previous Alliance. For him Noir is different. She didn't chase after him like other women he meet but she respects him as equal and keeping a distance from his personal zone. This make him want to know better about her as if he was attracting to her. Yesterday, his father already contacts him that they will send his beloved horse to him. He feels with joy as it been such a long time he meets his partner after its injured.

Luz walks out from the mansion to take some fresh air. He saw Rosa walking toward the stable. He knows there a black horse in the stable and always avoid them when they come nearby. Its seem that the horse feels uncomfortable when Rosa walks near it. Luckily, Luz controls the situation and remind Rosa not to be near the horse and pull her away from the stable. Rosa feels dissatisfied but obey anyway. The black horse look at Luz and bow a little as it thanking him before its run freely toward the field that connect to the stable.

"Rosa, what are you doing?" Luz shouted as he saw Rosa use her earth power to constrain the black horse legs and wrapped around the horse neck with rope.

"I want this horse to be mine. This horse must be wild horse as its doesn't have any tag on it. It must be come here to take shelter for free." Rosa said while holding the rope tight.

"Let it go, Rosa. It's dangerous!" Luz yelled as he runs toward Rosa.

Lightning didn't like to be constrain and using all it might to escape. Rosa can't hold the rope and stumble down while Lightning already gets its leg loose from the ground that constrain it. Lightning feels angry and charge toward Rosa. Luz manages to create water barrier as he stood in front of Rosa that froze up to see the horse went wild.

Mica run toward them when he heard a commotion at the back from the kitchen. Luz saw him and asked him to pulled Rosa inside while he try to calm the horse.

"Vivi, stay with Rosa. I try to help Luz outside." Mica said after he pulled Rosa inside the kitchen. Vivi obey even though she annoyed with Rosa behaviour. Mica runs out afterwards.

Mica saw Luz didn't attack the horse and try to calm it down as the horse attack his water barrier.

" Lightning calm down!" Mica yelled making Luz surprised. The horse didn't slow up it attack.

"I'm sorry we are bothering you. Please, calm down." Luz said gently. The horse slows down as it looking into Luz sincere eyes and stop its attack. Mica surprised because Lightning never obeys other accept Noir. Suddenly, Rosa runs out and shouted at the horse.

"Kill that beast. I hate it!" Rosa shouted making the other shocked. Vivi pulled Rosa toward her and slap on her face.

"Will you shut up! You the one causing the trouble here." Vivi yelled back.

Upon seeing Rosa, Lightning become angry again. It tried to attack Luz that standing in front of it and causing a cut at Luz left arm as he tried to avoid the attack. The blood flow down from his arm. As Lightning tried to attack again, a wind barrier making Lightning stop the attack.

"Lightning, stop! Back down, now. " Noir yelled. The black horse stops and retreat backward.

Noir walked toward her horse and patted it gently. She whispers something to it and the horse eventually run back toward the stable. Luz saw a lightning mark on its neck. He bows his head to the horse to convey message as an apology that they disturb it. The horse bow back as it's accepted his apology. Mica run inside the house to get the first aid kit. Noir come toward Luz and pulled out a handkerchief from her pocket. She presses the wound at Luz's arm to stop the bleeding. She told Luz to press and hold on it as she walks toward Rosa that still stunned after being slap by Vivi.

Noir look at Rosa without any emotion. She slaps Rosa's face making other and Mica that just out from the kitchen froze up.

"Are you out of your mind! You know you just getting yourself and other in danger? Lightning isn't like other horse. Don't provoke it and disturb it. I told you before if you want to live here, please respect others that include the animals and beast surrounding this mansion. If you can't, please leave. This mansion isn't suitable for you." Noir said angrily. Rosa widens her eyes and look toward Luz.

"I agree with Noir." Luz said.

"But Luz... I... I didn't know." Rosa replied.

"Go back to your room and think about it. Vivi, please escort her inside." Luz said. Vivi obey and asking Rosa to go back to her room.

Noir took the first aid kit from Mica while asking Mica to escort Luz to the living room. Noir follow them from behind. After Luz sit down, Noir pulled out the stool nearby and sit in front of him. He asked Luz to stretch out his arm so that she can treat him wound. Luz obey and letting Noir do her job.

"Is that black horse yours?" Luz asked.

"Yes, Lightning is my partner. I'm sorry it has harm you and the other." Noir replied.

"That's alright. It is Rosa fault from the start. I'm sorry for her behalf." Luz said.

"You're a wind wielder?" Luz asked again. Noir nod.

"Water ball!" Luz used his power to clean the wound area after Noir wiping the blood from the wound as the blood stop flowing.

"Really handy power." Noir smiled. Luz smile back.

"Wind breeze." Noir said and put her hand near Luz's wound.

A breeze of wind blow at the wound area and making the wet skin dry up. A smile plaster on his face. Noir bandage Luz arm carefully. Luz look at Noir. He really amazes with her. Noir remind him of Phantom. Her emerald-green eyes really mesmerised. As soon Noir finish bandages him, Luz thanking her with a smile.

Luz and Noir talking and laughing with each other as they already know each other for so long. This didn't escape from Mica and Vivi sight. Both of them smile to see the scene in front of them.

"They really suit for each other, aren't they?" Vivi said.

"Yeah, I agree." Mica agreed. Both of them walk into the kitchen leaving those two behind.

After spending time talking to Luz, Noir excuse herself and walk towards her room. She closed her bedroom door behind and lay on the mattress with a sighed.

"Who are you, Luz? Why you remind me of Silver?" Noir murmured.
