House Of Legions (The Angel Descendants book 1) novel Chapter 84

He walked away, joining the others in training. She carried on passing a place which she presumed was a hall, and moved further down into a large lounge area with beige couches. She continued towards a door, still following the voices.

She opened it, barging into an office room, with a round wooden table, and chairs. Around it was people scattered talking and laughing, everybody in the room just looked at her, blankly. A girl whom she recognized, stood up, walked up to her and extended her hand.

“Hi, nice to meet you too, I’m Natarsha, call me Tash”

Clare overwhelmed by the room full of people, “Oh.”

She looked at the girl, not knowing what else to say, luckily Nathan intervened, hugging her, “Hey sleeping beauty has finally woke up.”

She hugged him back, speaking softly, “You’re ok, did you see Calub?”

A young man stood up from behind a chair, he was tall, like way tall, with dark brown straight hair that was gelled in a messy style that enhanced his dark green eyes. He wore a white uniform like the others she saw, he smiled showing off his perfectly straight teeth, “Who me?”

Clare tilted her head, her eyes widened with excitement, “Calub?”

She bumped Tash, “OW, where're your manners.”

She ignored her, and walked around the table towards him, “Is it really you? You're all grown up.”

She squeezed him tightly, holding him around the waist, getting a good look at him, “Ouch, are you trying to kill me.”

She stopped, and standing on her tippy toes started kissing his cheeks, “Sorry, are you ok, gosh I missed you so much, I thought you were dead, or worse, being tortured by a Tempter, thank god you’re fine.”

He nodded gleefully, She wanted to cry, he looked so big, it had been years since she'd last seen him. He was a little boy, now he was taller than her, “Bow to that, I missed you too sis, but you know I was never kidnapped, right?”

Lost and curious Kalbreals eyes were, staring at the floor, planets away. She looked around the room, there were three other people, all wearing white, except for Tash, Kalbreal and Nathan.

She registered what Calub just said, her eyes darted on Nathan, who held a smile, “What's going on, why were we, almost killed yesterday?”

Nathan sat down on a chair, “Yesterday? You mean two nights ago, it’s Wednesday.”

A tall lady walked in the room, “Clare, come with me.” her voice commanding.

Clare shot the lady a defiant glare, but something about this lady told Clare that there was no negotiating. She followed the woman towards the lounge area, “I see you know that your brother is all well.”

Clare sighed, “Yes, but I don’t understand what's going on, did you hear from my father?”

They sat down opposite each other in the lounge. A man came in with a plate of food, it was macaroni and cheese. He left it in front of her and sat down next to the lady, who spoke, “You should eat.”

Clare looked at the man, “What exactly is this place, House of legions?”
