Naevia leaves the balcony, heading for the bedroom. She felt her eyes twitching and herself yawning. It was clear that she was feeling sleepy now.

Naevia yawned and stretched out her arms, arriving close to the bedroom door. "Today sure was something," she yawned.

She got to the door and placed her hand on the door knob, about to open it. She twists the knob and pushes the door open, but stops halfway through.

Naevia looked towards the direction she just came from. She was thinking about Zane all of a sudden. Smiled, she sighed and navigated her head back at the door. Opening it completely and going in.

She shuts it behind her and heads for the bedroom to change into her night robe.

.

Meanwhile, Zane was still at the balcony, looking confused and also unhappy. He was going through a mixed feeling.

"What happened? Why didn't everything go as I planned?" Zane asked himself confusingly.

He lifted his head and gazed up into the beautiful, cool sky. He wondered what and where he had gone

    Pleased to hear this, Zane decided to take Naevia to the target room. That's a place he hasn't shown or taken her to. But now was the time to do that."Alright then. After this game we'll both go there and have some fun," Zane said, offering Naevia the table.It was her turn to play next. Naevia gladly took the offer. "Let's make a deal. Whoever that wins this ping-pong game gets to take the lead during target practice," she suggested, scoring again."I like where you're heading. Deal my lady," Zane accepted Naevia's game plan. They both continued their game for forty five minutes, until the winner emerged successful. "I won!" Naevia cheered. Pointing at Zane proudly.Zane smiled and leaned his stick beside the ping-pong table. He clapped his hands and raised them up, saying, "Congratulations Naevia. You won this time around. We're even now. That means you will take the lead during the target practice." Zane smirked, lowering his hands down."Yeah of course. It'll be like the old tim

    Naevia never expected such a question to come out of Zane's mouth. It left her bewildered that she wondered if Zane woke up at the wrong side of the bed."No, there's no need. I'm fine now. Let's proceed with the shooting," Naevia inferred.She wanted to leave Zane's side and resume with the target practice. But she's stopped by Zane, who takes hold of her right hand gently."I'm serious Naevia. Tell me what happened. It felt like you saw something from your past that triggered your emotions. Do tell me, I'll listen," Zane persuaded Naevia. Naevia didn't know if she should share it with Zane. But with the way he calmly requested to listen to her, it made Naevia feel happy."Okay then," she agreed. Lowering her pistol down and facing Zane.Zane, hearing Naevia's agreement to his plea, felt on top of the world. He had feared that Naevia would reject his appeal like the way she always does, but not this time.Zane still held on to Naevia's hand, and led the way out of the target area. T

    Naevia's flashback ends. She still had her focus on the ground. Letting out a poor laugh."The first person I killed was the same person who trained me to be a strong fighter and shooter. I got to know he was a traitor. He even tried to kill my father. So I ended him right there," Naevia narrated the scene to Zane."Is that what got you so down out there?" Zane questioned Naevia. Referring to what occurred with her during the target practice.Naevia hummed to Zane's question. That was a response to confirm that it's the truth. Zane couldn't say anything else.

It reminded him of his own childhood.Trying not to remember the pain she felt while shooting Felix, the guard who trained her at a tender age, Naevia sighed out and turned to look at Zane.She found him already gazing at her.

    Laughter could be heard coming from the study room. Zane and Naevia were done eating their food. The empty plates and glass showed how much they enjoyed the meal. But the two of them weren't there."Full concentration. No distractions please," Naevia ordered Zane. Placing her hands on her head and gazing down at the chessboard. Both of them had gone to sit on the couch to begin their game night. The game was chess. Naevia brought it since that's what Zane loved playing the most. Information gotten from Kelvin."Alright then. No distractions my lady. Do as you please," Zane listened, crossing his arms and watching her.Naevia gazed hard at the chessboard. She brought her right hand down and picked the queen.

I'm getting a hang of this now," she cheered and sat back excitedly.Zane scoffed at her and said, facing down at the chessboard, "Good one Naevia. But you left so many openings to your King."
