Anna reacted and slashed her sword at Liam. But she forgot that all the tricks she has learned are nothing but given and taught by Liam himself.
He easily defended himself and in return, he made Anna's sword fall on the ground with just one swift.
Anna was shocked that she was not even able to handle her own sword and fight with her father!
Of course, he is capable as he learned these things when he was a child. So till now, perfection was expected already but this much?
Anna had learned it too and she had thought she was perfect in this, but her conception today, broke.
Seeing her wide eyes Liam spoke, "You received basic training and that too, not proper. You learned about guns, horses, driving but not about fighting. You are now at the right age to learn those things."
He had experience in these things, so this was nothing but experience which spoke.
Anna looked at him with her wide eyes, "I…I.."
"What happened now was because you were fighting with emotions, not with strategy or brain." Liam further explained to her.
Anna looked at him with confusion. This was the truth, she was fighting with her emotions which came into her when she saw a sword again in her hand.
If her brother's killer comes in front of her, she will kill him with this sword!!
Just she is waiting for that person to be revealed soon! The day he is revealed, it would be his or her last day on this earth!
"Seb was distracted too and this resulted in his... You know what I mean." Liam said in a low voice.
This was to make Anna remember not to do the same mistake as her brother. But this reality really hurt him and her both very bad. He was distracted and they both know, why he must have been distracted...
One's brother and other's son was lost because of this fight. But now, Anna has to learn it again so that she can kill that killer with her own hands. Also, the person who killed the second most important person in her life, will not survive anymore!
"So, do you want to now see how does it work?" Liam wanted her support if they both were going to do this. It was only possible when she is ready to face it and start the practice.
But Anna still looked lost. She absent-mindedly sat on the bench as Liam's words just went from above her head. Anna did not know why but she was feeling conflicted.
Conflicted in her own thoughts!
As if her inner voice was ranging up again to take revenge and be crowned. But her heart and brain were asking her to leave all of this and go somewhere isolated with the ones she loves.
This was not they easy too but to whom shall she listen? Her own heart or inner voice?
But then Anna heard Liam's voice, "Anna, we all know what happened a few years ago. We all were disheartened at that time. Our hearts still hurt when we even think about that period. But we have to move on also! You have a walker family's blood in you. We, Walkers, do not sit idle. We are those people who thrust for bloody revenge." Anna felt that her father was though stating the truth but also, making fun of himself.
"Oh, then shall I consider you, grandfather and grandmother not being a walker? Because you never did anything to take revenge but you are expecting me to do so?" This was funny.
Really funny! If they both wanted, they could have easily drugged-out who was the killer of her brother. But no one did anything!!
Liam once again just lowered his head in shame and guilt. He has no words to defy what she said. But if he went for revenge, Anna and Marrie won't be able to survive safely then.
"Neither of us did this... But now you can do this. You are young, fierce, having a sharp brain. Just a few things need to be taught perfectly and you are ready." It was evident that his whole expectation was from Anna.
Anna felt that this was too sudden to even think. They just talked about crowning, fighting skills, and revenge. These were big words for her!
"I need time to think. Will inform you soon about that." Anna finally got up and called her horseback with a whistle. As if understanding that his master was calling him back, the horse came to her fastly. She got up on the back of the horse.
But as she was about to go back, Liam suddenly said "Do not tell your mother. She will not like it." Hearing this, a smirk came on her face. Mother Marrie will not like it? Oh if she gets to know what her father asked Anna to do, she will stop him meeting with her and give him such a strict warning!
"Mother also does not like many things. Have you stopped doing that? No! So, telling her or not is my choice not yours so keep your opinion about this to yourself." saying this, she kicked her horse and he rode at a very fast speed back into the yard. Anna locked him there again and then when in to say goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Asher.
"Si, come here more. Also do bring your mother if possible. It has been so long since we met her..." They genuinely liked her mother as she was such a simple sober person. Anna replied with a smile and took her to leave. She wanted to get out of there to clear up her mind!
And this clearing of thoughts can happen only in one place!
Anna took the taxi and came to meet her brother.
