Chapter 37 progress
KALEA IS BEING STUBBON AND PRISSY.
I don’t know what’s come over her. She’s supposed to cooperate with Dredd and go for the meeting at Lobar and meet up with Jala, but so far she’s just plain refusing! I’m going to write more tonight, and see if she comes around. Ugh! I don’t like it when they have a mind of their own like this. Well, I do. But….
So far we’re at a bit of a standstill, here’s an excerpt from last night. Kalea speaks first.
“I’m tired Dredd and it’s cold and wet, and a very bad time for traveling anywhere. I want to stay here for a while, live a normal life.”
Dredd’s eyes flashed with anger. He pounded his clenched fist down onto the table. “And leave Jonthor to do what he wills with Hespar?” The room went silent. Kalea felt eyes burning into the back of her neck. A flush rose over her face, starting at her neck. How could he yell at her in front of a room full of people?
Dredd ran his fingers through his hair, and shook his head. “I’m sorry Kalea, I didn’t mean to get upset. Forgive me, please.” He smiled.
Kalea pursed her lips. She could still feel the heat of her face. To think she had once liked the man, he was awful. Still, she had to forgive him. “I forgive you,” she said, with as chill a tone in her voice as she could muster. “But I have no intention of traveling to Lobar. You can go if you want. I’m not. I’m staying here.”
Let’s see what a night of writing brings forth. ![]()
