Darkness The Diary of Samantha Owen by Ariadna Marrero Saavedra Page B

when Francis decidedly offered that I stay in his house, it was the closest to the training ground. Eric´s eyes shone when they found my eyes in the corridor that led to the exit of the Council. The building was enormous and well lit; something which surprised me, with great pillars of ancient roman style everywhere. The main library of the kingdom was to be found here, it was were all the important documents were kept; it was also where the Council and the representatives of the Kingdom met as well as hosting parties on special occasions. It was a meeting point, but that afternoon it was deserted, the people had been warned that they should not go there until the meeting with me had finished, Fairiel explained to me, when we left the building. Gabriel and Francis were on the staircase of the entrance, still arguing as to where I would sleep during the next few days.
    “I live in the countryside, my house isn´t very big, but you all fit if you want .” Gabriel, after explaining infinity of times that his house in the center of the city was safer for me, accepted reluctantly.
    “My dear, if some day you have any doubts or need help just look for me, I know many things about your mother that you will want to hear.” He said the last part in my ear, pulling me away from the others. He winked and left.
    I told my self that I had to remember this new friendly and charismatic source of information that I had found. When the members of the council left, I could see the view in front of me with some detail. I managed to see a large quantity of houses very like human ones, bunched together in tall buildings. We found ourselves in the center of the city, there was a lot of movement in the narrow and picturesque streets; we were heading towards Gabriel´s house. I could de that the houses, although they looked similar to human houses, looked old and well conserved, with grey stone ornaments, filled with alleyways where darkness reigned even though it were midmorning. On the way the boys told me that the city of The Light had been built first and then the rest of the cities that belonged to the elements of the Earth. Together they formed the great Kingdom of the Moon, as, although they were far away from these cities, they formed part of this great union and all were led from the central part, in which we now found ourselves. They told me that Francis lived in the kingdom of the Earth, which was outside the principal city, there wasn´t so much security not barriers to prevent the wanderers entering as there was here.
    Shortly after we arrived to a house that looked Victorian, not as large as Eric’s, it had a somber and blood-curling aspect. We entered to a small entrance hall, there was nobody there. Gabriel told us that they were fighting in what would be for me like Los Angeles. He took me to a modest room with its own bathroom; it had a lovely closet and a chest of drawers beside the bed. On top of it there were some folded clothes.
    “Put it on, you will need it to train,” after which he left and Eric stayed watching me until he managed to say something.
    “Tonight I will come to your room and we will speak ,” he said in a dry tone. His expression was indecipherable, I didn´t know where all the love I had felt as we danced had gone.
    I didn´t respond, I didn´t want more confusion, only I would talk about this with him in the night. When I looked at the clothes I realized that it was the complete black bodysuit with white stitching. It was pretty, with nooks all over for weapons I supposed. The cloth was elastic, to give flexibility. When I had it on I looked at myself in the mirror of the closet, I thought I looked like a ninja, but I liked it. After that I put the flat black tennis shoes that I found beside the bed. I didn´t feel hot despite it being long sleeved. I pulled back my hair and left the room decidedly, heading back towards the entrance. They were waiting for me when I arrived and Eric´s eyes came out
