Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 - Shadows and Pursuit

As I left the grounds, I didn't take a taxi back, but make a turn towards a coffee shop, my initial plan was to leave towards my container, I need to get somethings, however, just when I was to leave the gates. The guard gave me a strange look.

'Might be I am just being paranoic, but there is no harm in being cautious'

I sat in a table nearby the restroom and waited for some time.

After about 10 minutes ago, two men entered the coffee.

They sat on a table at the other end of what I was and order a sandwich.

They chatted and laughed like some good old friends hanging out.

'Too fake' I though.

Two guys who clearly were young, laughing and chatting about life in a coffee shop?

What's more… those guys… in this clearly empty coffee shop just happened to sit at the other side of where I was, but, at the same time, in the perfect spot for seeing it I go out?

'The chance of me being paranoid vs my suspicious to be true is 70-30 in favor of me being paranoid… let's test it…'

I took my coffee and stood up from site and left the coffee the shop. The two men didn't move as if they didn't notice I left.

'1'

'2'

'3'

'4'

When I was about to reach 5, I heard the door opening.

'There was no else there, and is not break time… the chances are now 80-20 in favor of them following me'

I took a cab and told them to go to my container.

As I was boarding the cab, I saw the two men going to a parked car nearby the coffee shop.

'That confirms it'

I couldn't feel but a feel a trembling in my body.

'It seems that things are going to get interesting sooner than expected'

[Carly's POV]

As I walked with teacher Olivia, I couldn't feel but trembled at we got closer towards the main building.

"Lady Miya is not happy" Said teacher Olivia.

"Hiiii!" I almost jumped hearing those words.

Not happy…

Lady Miya is not happy…

I am… I am so screwed!

"I… I am stupid… so I-"

"Enough" Said Teacher Olivia.

"You know I can't do anything; you are on your own"

"Teacher, please… I"

"Shut up, I hate stupid kids like you!" Said Olivia.

I couldn't help but trembled.

Oh god…

Oh god…

Maybe I should run for it…

I… I don't want to be in pain... again...

As I feel the tears on my eyes… I heard and strange sound nearby.

"Iaah! How cute~"

"Kitty~ Kitty~ , come here~"

"Meow~"

Teacher Olivia turned, and I turned and we saw a group of girls fawning over a small cat. The cat was brown with a pair of big green eyes…

Wait… that cat looked awfully familiar.

"Sis Io?" I murmured.

"Did you say something?" Asked teacher Olivia.

"No, no, I didn't say anything!" I quickly refused.

Sis Olivia… I heard Sir Ivan call her that, she had been a lot of help when I was talking with Sir Ivan.

"Meow!"

It seemed that she saw me as she jumped over and walked towards me.

"Purrrr~"

She purred in my legs.

I couldn't help but smile as I grabbed her. Funny enough, she climbed until she put herself around my neck.

"Filthy animal" Said Olivia.

"She is not…" I murmured.

"What?" Said Olivia.

"She is not… a… filthy…ani-animal" I said in a mosquito like voice.

However, it seemed that Teacher did hear me.

*SLAP*

"How dare you… you are just a mere dog!" Shouted teacher Olivia.

As I feel my face burning, some tears escaped from eyes.

*Hic*

*Hic*

I don't get it…

Why did I ever did to be treated like this…

Everything…

"Is just because… I am… stupid…"

"AHHH!"

Suddenly, I heard a scream near me.

"HISSSSS!"

I saw the face of teacher Olivia with blood marks on her face.

"AHHH! MY FACE! MY FACE!!"

Teacher Olivia run towards the building, while Sis Io licked her pawns.

"Meoww~"

"Haa…haha…" I couldn't help but laugh.

I hugged Sis Io while the tears fell to the ground.

........................

As I opened the container, I saw my two persuaders at some distance.

'Good'

I entered the container and left a small gap between the ground and door, not too big, but big enough for a person to enter.

I closed my eyes and feel the footsteps and they stopped a few meters away from the container.

'Shit, so they didn't feel for it huh?'

I need to reconsider my plan…

However, just as I was planning, I feel footsteps once more. Only one though.

'Perfect'

I smiled while I grabbed a small piece of white cloth that I had preferred.

Let the hunt begin.
