Cruzade VIII

Hila left her room holding both wands with a dangerous fury. She also carried a couple of bottles, filled with things that she didn´t expect to use in her life. Before leaving, she greeted in a whisper her family and opened...
With a finger half a millimeter from the ringbell and looking at Hil in surprise,were four of her friends: Marin, Leon, Sharon and Fred.
- Are you going to open up or not? -
- Of-of course... how are you? I didn´t know you were coming. I was on my was out, actually -
- Oh, no. Now you can´t leave. You have to watch a good movie, take a few mates that Leon is going to make... Capichi? - Marin smiled.
- Unless you do not want to be with us, Hila - Leon mumbled.
- No, nothing like that! -
- Then, let us have mate! -
Thus the five of them came in, and Hil closed the door with the greatest confusion she had ever felt. Leon stood in the kitchen preparing the mate and asked how everything was.
She smiled widely and her beautiful green eyes shone in a powerful way. One could not stand before that smile without feeling sheltered by such friendship. However, Leon inquired:
- Are you sure everything is ok? Don´t be silly, you tell me -
- Absolutely! Never mind. I´ve  just woke up and my computer crashed, so I have to start from the beggining. Nothing terrible. Glad to see you around here -
- Lucky it doesn´t bother you, Hila. Thank you for being such a good friend -
- I wanted to tell Cirö to come, but I could not locate him - Fred explained later.
- What a shame, I saw him this morning. He´s probably busy, he always is -. Thinking of him, the young girl recalled their talk and it was getting late, but she didn`t find a way to send off her friends, to do so herself.
So, unoticing her concern, they carried on with the plan, and got comfortable to watch a movie.

Sergei was furious. His young face was flooded with impatience, and a cold glint in his eyes made him seem more powerful than he actually was due to his age.
By then he was in the infirmary, along with Darla. Completely immobilized and lying on a table, eyelids pressed to avoid the light above her, was his prisoner. Suddenly, the bulb exploded and caught the attention of the other two.
- Come on, get as angry as you want, you will soon be of great service to me - he hissed without even looking at the captive.
- I don`t want to be of service to you -
- Oh, you had thongue after all! I thought you were angry with me... I couldn´t imagine why - as he said this, he looked away toward two or three flasks with different labels on the counter - Stop it at once, Likeia. It is useless to struggle, you won´t break free anytime soon. And allow me to add that wether you are gonna be useful or not, it´s my decission. Soon it will be too late for you to say anything about it, my elusive friend -.
Saying this, Sergei went to the girl for the first time and touched her forehead with the tip of a thin and clear wand. Suddenly, he turned away and dropped it, as if he was in pain.  He looked completely exhausted, an so did his prisoner. After this episode, he and the doctor left, only that she returned shortly after.
- I do not think you mean as much to your friend as you think, after all, it´s been almost a whole day since you disappeared and she has not come for you. I could be your friend, I can take care of you -
- My friends don´t try to kill me, nor torture me. And they don´t need to take care of me, that's my job to do for them. Besides, I would not be your friend even if my life depended on it -
