The Red Nights 13- Sword Training
The day after the improvised meeting, as it has been discussed, Jamal woke up earlier than usual and went to prepare himself for the patrol. He went out of his apartment and headed to meet up with Natasha, who was already there before him at the rendezvous point, waiting for him."Hey! Good morning" She greeted him cheerfully."Hi, how are you today?" Jamal asked with a smile not half as cheerful as her."Honestly, I don't know. I'm very confused in my head. A mix of worry, excitement, laziness, anger, and some other feelings I'm too ashamed to reveal to you," she replied with too much honesty.Jamal smiled, "for now just focused on your anger, we will start with that and then we will see about the other feelings later". As he walked toward the direction of the barrier he waved his hand and told her "let's go, we should not lose too much of our time".They headed to the limit of the city. They made their daily surveillance duties along the barrier, however, since the sun had yet to ri
The Red Nights 14- When?
Lina went to Natasha's house to call Matteo. It was early in the morning but she knew that his boyfriend and Natasha were at that time watching the barrier, so there was no danger. She didn't need to knock at the door since she already had the double key to the house, she unlocked the door, opened it, and entered in.[I should just call him out] she thought, however, a funnier idea popped up in her mind, she smiled naughtily and went ahead to initiate her joke.It was one of Lina's codes to never waste any occasion to have fun. And one of her favorite sources of fun was teasing people around him or whoever they were, whether they were old or young she didn't care, she thought that she didn't have to mind too much since, in the end, they would come to know her and therefore they would eventually get used to her playful attitude. As to prove her right, that very trait of personality was one of the reasons people in Stainfall loved her so much, they liked the way she was always so cheerf
The Red Nights 15- A plate of Maafe
Lina and Matteo prepared to leave the office. After he revealed to her the supposed date when the army of undead would come to attack the city.Her reaction was surprising, or rather Matteo didn't expect such a reaction from her. When she heard the information, Lina just commented a few words before changing the subject. She began by trying to scout Matteo and bring him to her office so he could lend her a hand with the administrative matters as, according to her observation of him, she estimated that he was fully capable to take the job. Matteo initially turned her down but he later came to know that Lina can be very convincing when she wanted. After insisting a little more and giving him some irrefutable arguments, Matteo was cornered and couldn't do otherwise but accept helping her to finish all the work she had to do on that day.Lina was particularly happy since she came to leave the office earlier than usual.In fact that work was, a little bit, related to Matteo since it was a
The Red Nights 16- One Battle After Another
"Are you really serious?" Jamal asked Lina with a surprised tone.Lina remained with her fake innocent smile on her face when she responded "it is the crucial point of my plan. There is no way we could make it without that, and anyway, I don't know where is the problem with what I'm asking".She rose her sight to gaze at the three people in the living room while they were presenting their dumbfounded expressions on their faces. Jamal breathed in slowly and then took a low and calm voice when he started to respond, "Do you realize the scale of your request? You want me to go finish the wars in the neighboring cities all by myself".Indeed, when Lina started to expose her plan to defeat the army of the undead who was intending to come to destroy their dear Stainfall city in less than one week. She explained to them that before they looked for a way to handle the attack of the undead only on Natasha, who was the only one able to kill them definitively, they had to find out, at first, a w
The Red Nights 17- The Departure
On their way back to Lina's house, she stayed completely quiet which was unusual for her. Jamal was a little bit worried, and at many attempts, he tried to know from her directly what was wrong but she went on repeating again and again that there was no problem and returned to being silent.After his sixth try, he was now sure that something was bothering her deeply, he thought his 'boyfriend's instinct' couldn't lie to him. However, he knew that no matter how many times he would ask her the answer would remain the same, so he decided to take it another way and just start a casual discussion, [as we talk she will gradually go back to her usual self and will confess to me along with the conversation] he thought."How Saidu is doing well?" he decided to go on with that and gave a shot, "lately I haven't had the time to visit him". He crossed his fingers inside his heart and hoped she would grab the bite he handed her and would start talking. [It shouldn't be difficult since she loves ta
The Red Nights 18- Where is he?
Early in the morning, when Natasha woke up, she first thought about going to say goodbye to Jamal, but after meditating on it she concluded that it would be better if she didn't go as she knew that seeing him leaving would make her emotional side taking over, she would beg him to let her accompany him or she would just decide to sneak and follow him in secret in case of rejection.Instead, she just shook her head, made up her mind, jumped out of her bed and she started her morning practice; some push-ups and other supplement room workouts. After she finished warming up, confident that her body was now fully awakened, she went straight to the bathroom. In the end, it took about 45 minutes to be entirely prepared, she was wearing her usual sports clothes, a sleeveless T-shirt, mini leggings, and a pair of comfortable sports shoes. In last, she took her knife which was resting on her table, and put it in its pocket.[Well, time to go] she said to her reflection in the mirror.She passed
The Red Nights 19- The Response (part I)
After Jamal left the house, Lina stayed there for quite a moment, silent and steady, lost in her thoughts while staring at the horizon. She was wondering about how the city would be doing well during the absence of Jamal as his job was not just fighting the bad people to protect the weak ones, it was in reality more than that, over time spent he became gradually, in the eyes of every people in Stainfall, the figure of the invincible guardian of the city.The job he had done during those two years after the tragic night caused him to be very well seen by all his citizens. Lina was convinced that if people in Stainfall could sleep on their two ears without the fear to be assaulted by a random madman during the night if they could feel safe by walking along the streets, it was all because they got the certainty that Jamal was guarding them.That was why she was so worried, she was thinking about how everyone would react when they would hear about Jamal's mission in the extern of the city
The Red Nights 20- The Response (part II)
For a while both Lina and Matteo didn't pronounce a single word, they stayed there glancing at each other. Matteo seemed like trying to find something in her eyes which would confirm that they were not dreaming, as it seemed like the excitement in her tone of voice was not enough obvious or convincing."Why are you staring at me like that, all stiff and silent? That's good news," Lina was revealing a huge smile on her face while she was trying to get some reaction from the young boy.But the reaction was quite comprehensive since such an outcome was not expected. It was quite a surprise.Usually, the behavior adopted by most people, when they went through a very painful experience like all that happened to those people, such as losing someone or something dear to them, being forced to abandon their homes and all that they knew and were familiar with, would be to cut off any relationship with the reality, at least that what Matteo thought. He thought they would rather choose to quit al
