The camp has never been the same without the campers. It was quiet and boring on Xhemin"s side and her task which by the way was editing everyone"s report made the place more lonesome that it ever was.

The camp had ended yesterday but officers and some important campers were still there to do a couple of things. Pinning the new camp officers, evaluation, report gathering, inventory and some clean ups were some of the things that were scheduled in their calendar. In Xhemin"s calculation they had to stay at least a week more in the camp site.

Xhemin was sitting in one corner of the dining hall doing her task when her energy tore off making her too lazy to finish her to do list. She put her head on the table, extending her long arms on the same while holding a pen in her fingers. She toyed with the pen that was in her fingers while she tried to sleep.

"I love you" Darryl"s words played over and over again in her mind and she could do nothing but sighed against the memory.

For who would have thought the Lagdameo heir had fallen completely with her beauty? But was she ready for it?

That night Darryl left after saying those scary words. Words that he confessed to her, words that she had been waiting for to hear. But when the words had finally been said, it seemed that she dreaded it.

Was she ready to accept his love?

Was she ready to go on and wear the crown of being the Lagdameo woman?

Was she prepared for what was about to come?

She had always resented Darryl for shutting her off but now that the boy had offered her his love was she willing to take risk? When what"s at risk was her own family?

"Lil thug, do you know what time Huzey will be here?" Ziggy asked pulling off Xhemin"s thoughts to their table. "It"s so lonesome without Huzey because you are a "no good" companion"

Xhemin irked at the youngest sire statement " You are a more "no good" companion"

"Tell me when is Huzey coming over?" He asked ignoring Xhemin"s throwback. The Montreal"s youngest was having a hard time coping up on what the camp had become after the campers left. Perhaps because the past few days he had enjoyed everyone"s company and attention so now he kind of miss the fun.

"They have a site inspection today at one of their mines. He"ll come back here right after they are done with it "She told the boy who was mimicking her position and expression. Since Ziggy had run off of things to do, he opted to annoy Xhemin just for fun.

"Ziggy stop following my every move" She chided on him and give the boy a glare. "It"s not funny …"

"… Are you done with your task? Why don"t you go and finish it" As she remembered correctly, Ziggy was tasked to do the dishes and with the number of dirty plates and utensils she saw earlier, it was impossible that the boy had finish them at this point of time.

""Nah. I"m too lazy like you are" He waved off a hand on her. He was half way through was.h.i.+ng the dishes when he went to join Xhemin to rest for a while. The pile of dirty dishes was tiring him off easily especially that he had no one to talk to in the kitchen.


Unable to make Ziggy moved away, Xhemin just let the boy give her a company for a while. She was still slacking when he heard Ziggy snore.

"What a sleepy head" She uttered glancing at the boy who was probably dreaming by now, making faces as he sleeps. Not wanting to be tempted to sleep, she choose to get back to work, digging her head to the file of doc.u.ments she was working with. But just seconds after, he heard Ziggy moaned.

 "Dreaming are we youngest sire?" She said and went to hit his head with the pen she was holding but Ziggy was deeply asleep he didn"t felt the pain. "hmmmp! Good thing I"m not in the mood to annoy anyone. Or else I"ll draw marks on your face!"

Knowing that Ziggy was probably too tired to acknowledge her threats. Xhemin chose to ignore the noisy sleeping sire at her side. However, after a while, she was surprised to have heard him wailing in his sleep.

"No! no! Please! No! Come back and don"t leave! Xtsbcmc ajsbh!" Ziggy cried while sleeping.

Was the youngest sire having a nightmare?"

"Please! Please no!" Ziggy"s cry aggravated and he his head shaking unconsciously.

"Ziggy! Ziggy! Ziggy!" Xhemin called and shook the Montreal"s sire to wake him. Ziggy woke instantly with a face that as messed up as his hair. He too was sweating excessive that it almost wet his s.h.i.+rt.

"Are you okay?" She worriedly asked him while the boy was breathing heavily and was still recovering from whatever frightened him in his sleepFind authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.

"Yeah. Just had some… some bad dreams" Ziggy said brus.h.i.+ng his hair with his fingers. It was also wet from sweat.

"You are sweating terribly" Xhemin said to him and asked in curiosity "What was that bad dream about?"

"To be honest…I don"t remember" Ziggy tried to recall something from his dream "… I don"t seem to remember at all… Weird is it? " He hissed in frustration.

"Seriously? How come?"

"Really, I don"t remember" He answered again "All I know is that it was dark and sad and I was very afraid of it"

"Well if that"s it then why don"t you go and change your s.h.i.+rt?" Xhemin"s suggested when he saw how messed up Ziggy"s posture had become "Probably take a shower too to calm up your nerves"

"Right, that"s a good idea" Ziggy agreed and stood from where he sat, then went away leaving Xhemin alone in the dining hall.

Xhemin thought perhaps the whole camp days had made Ziggy tired that his fatigue had been dispensing as terrible dreams. Now that Ziggy left, she put her attention back to her task.

While Xhemin was rummaging the doc.u.ments before her, the dining hall"s door open wide and patrollers came in. She knew they were patroller because they all wore black caps with the word "patroler" printed in front.

Speaking about the patrol team, of course Darryl was with them and seeing the Lagdameo heir rallying in the entrance made Xhemin"s heart racing against her chest tremendously.

"Sh*t!" Xhemin cursed as she lowered her head hoping that she would turn invisible in Darryl"s sight.
