LISA'S POV
Watching the closeness of the two girls in front of me made me feel nostalgic and reminded me of my brothers. I miss them very much and can't wait to see them again. Nicarra reminds me of Warren, a hard exterior with a soft side, only a few get to experience. She's equally as protective as he is. Nyssa, on the other hand, seems reserved but clearly loves Nicarra. She seems nice and down to earth despite her beauty, which I am grateful for; the last thing I need is a drama queen as a thorn in my flesh.
Its comforting that despite their beauties, they are not vain like so many girls I have met here. Nicarra has the thickest hair I have ever seen, even braided to the back, you could tell from the thickness of the braid and its length, that her hair has lots of volume and her eyes are a deep coloured purple with tiny flecks of green, at certain angles the flecks sparkle like stars. She is of average height and curvy with a tiny waist. Even when simply dressed in a black turtle neck top paired with sky blue high waist jeans on ankle boots, she looks very beautiful.I was a little worried about sharing a room but seeing the both of them, I can't help but want to be a part of their crew.
When Nicarra finally left, Nyssa sat on her bed, looking rather sad.
'Hey,' I said, wanting to catch her attention.
She looked up at me with her sea blue eyes.
"Hey," she responded.
'So want to play twenty questions?' I asked.
'What is that?'
'It's a game that we both take turns asking questions.Haven't you ever played it?'
She indicated she'd never played
'OK, then you go first?' I said
'Are you hungry?' she asked
'That's your first question?' I asked, surprised.
'Seita, my familiar tells me you need to eat.' she replies, standing up to open one of her bags. It was filled with all kinds of junk food.
'Your bird talks? ... you brought food!'
'Please don't call him that. He doesn't like it, and yes, I did. Didn't you?' she responded, handing me a packet of chips and walking back to her bed, opening a can of soda.
'It's a he?'
'Yes, is that a problem?'
'Yeah, because I like to sleep naked.'
'It's alright he's a gentle man and an old soul, so don't worry.'
'So my turn, Is Nicarra your girlfriend?
'
She spits out her drink, trying to laugh through a fit of coughs.
I rush to her, patting her back, until the cough subsides.
She looks at me and asks why I would think that.
'Well, you both are really close like family, and there's no physical resemblance.'
'We are family. Nicarra is my sister and my best friend.'
'How come you both look different?'
'That's two questions from you.' she replied, smiling.
'Sorry, you turn,' I responded
We played the game for quite some time, learning about each other when a huge shadow passed over our balcony and a series of others followed.
'What is that?' Nyssa asked.
I smiled excitedly, knowing that my brothers had arrived. I pulled Nyssa outside to the balcony, and together, we saw a magical view of hundreds of dragons of various sizes and colours in the sky. Nyssa went back into the room and came back with a camera, taking pictures from different angles on our L- shaped balcony. She handed me her phone and asked, 'Lisa, could you please record this, I seriously need to use the bathroom.'
'Sure,' I responded, taking the phone from her as she dashed off. As I started recording, I felt someone trying to open my mind link.
'Hey puppy,' said Lucas
'Lucas! this is incredible. Where are you guys?' I asked, excited.
'Told you I'd make a grand entrance. Where are you?' he responded
I'm in a tall white building, east of the main gates. Top floor, blue balcony.'
'I see you'
I saw them both flying towards me from the horizon with Lucas sitting atop of Menace-Warrens dragon. Everyone watched in awe as Menace landed in front of us with three other dragons. A green coloured one landed very close to him, and I knew instinctively that it was the Cecil I'd heard about, but I was surprised when Menace his raised spear like tail at her hissing aggressively. She bows submissively and slowly moves back. Menace turns and raises his head to look at me, I see in his eyes a glimpse of tiredness and sadness. Something seems off about him. Lucas climbs off him and hugs me.
'Lucas is Warren, okay?' I ask through the mind link'.
'You sense it too?,' asks
'Menace is acting really strange. He's looking tired. Menace is never tired.'
'It's that girl!'
'Cecil?'
"Yes, she's done something to him, but I can't prove it yet. Did you bring what I asked from Grandma?'
'Yes'
'Bring it to me in the evening and try to act natural around him.'
'I'll try'
We separate from the hug, and Lucas goes back to being Lucas.
'So have you seen your roommate yet? Is she pretty? Where is she ?' he says, peeping into the room.
'She's out of the room,' I reply, hoping Nyssa doesn't come out soon. Lucas may be my brother but he is famous for being a man w***e.
'Great, so let me do some surveillance before I officially meet her, for safety measures.' he says walking in.
'I'm sure'
I leave Lucas to run towards Menace and hug his face as much as I can, telling him how much I have missed him and he snorts in response making me laugh. Lucas suddenly rushes out of the room like he's seen a ghost, kisses me quickly and climbs back on Menace who licks me and lifts off followed by his entourage except the green dragon, who growls at me before joining the rest, and I think to myself that she is going to be a problem.
Right on cue, Nyssa steps out of the bathroom smelling like the ocean. Her hair let down, shines like corn silk and reaches her waist and the towel shows off glimpses of her beautiful skin. She smiles at me and says sorry.
What? Why are you sorry?' I responded.
'For leaving you for so long, the bathtub was very tempting and I couldn't resist taking a bath.'
'It s okay,' I respond
She sniffs the air and looks at me strangely.Coming closer she sniffs my clothes.
'Whats the name of your perfume? It smells really nice.' she says walking away.
'Really! Thanks, its called obsession. Nyssa if you have nothing better to do, would you and Nicarra like to explore the school grounds with me before we head off to the main hall?'
'Sure, why not, just let me check with Nicarra' she says looking at the pictures on the camera.
'Your brothers were here?' she asks
'Yes, didnt you hear me talking with Lucas?'
'No'
She picks up her phone and I hear the shrieking of dragons with flapping of wings followed by hissing and then my playful banter with Lucas playing on it. She looks and me and says 'Your brother Lucas is very protective of you, I can tell.'
'Not as protective as Warren, but please don't tell him i said that.'
She smiles and turns the phone around asking if its okay for her to keep the footage. I smile at her thoughtfulness and nod affirmatively before heading in the direction of the bathroom. Once I'm done, she tells me Nicarra will be joining us at the hall in the evening and we both dress up for our adventure.
We walk out of our room and Nyssa stops abruptly, hurrying back inside. She comes back with her camera and two sweaters and hands me one. I point to the sunny skies outside and she whispers, 'Trust me.'
I take the sweater from her hand and tie it around my waist, while she drapes hers across her arm.
'How many sweaters did you bring?' I ask jokingly.
'This belongs to Nicarra, the one with you is mine.' she responds smiling as we walk out of the building.
