Runaway Alpha

She was looking full of questions on her face. I was startled but I just can’t help but be stucked on were I am at.

Why is Lhana here?  And why is she in front of me holding my cheeks while I am holding her hands??? Why… what… JUST WHAT THE HELL DID HAPPENED IN HERE??

“Emrick.. are… are you alright?”

She asked me which makes me feel like she was here because she is concerned. I didn’t even sense her presence being near me. Let alone know the reason why she was here.

Now I can’t help but be on the spot where I am full of questions. About the reason why she was here with be. Even so, I can’t help but find it weird to feel ease with her being in a position as this. To think that I would wake up having this kind of sight, truly, I never once expected this thing to happen..

“Yes”

I shortly replied to her question. Slowly, my hand slipped from touching hers. Is that even a hand? I never know that hand can be as gentle and soft as that. Maybe it is because I always find mine having a rough texture? But, I can’t possibly have that kind of skin since I have been doing lots of training which makes it turn out this ways…

Her hand then let go of my face. I can sense that she was a little startled about what happened. But honestly, what exactly happened? After I fall unconscious I have no recollection nor idea of what happened. Which makes me wonder why is she exactly here?

“That is good to hear then”

She mumbled as I stood up only to realized that I have been laying on her thighs.. That solves one of my question why I feel so comfortable even if I knew that I am laying on the ground. Hah…

There was a brief of silence that covering  the whole atmosphere between us. I don’t know what I should say. Should I thank her? Maybe I should do that.

“Why are you here?”

“I was having a little walk”

“Really? In this kind of place? The peak of the north where no much people wander around? In this dark night? What would be the reason why a person like you would even dare have a step in this kind of place? I just can’t seem to understand it”

She was left silenced for short while. Hah, now I wanted to punch myself since I planned on thanking her right? Why would I act like this?

This is awkward.

There is now distance between us. Not just in physical form but also in our relationship. I then look at the nothingness as I somehow feel a stingy feeling deep inside my chest. I then gulp.

“If you have nothing to say, I will now take my leave”

I pick up  the box left in the ground afte falling conscious just a while ago. Getting ready to take a walk out and leave her in this part of the forest, I then stop as I hear her gentle voice.

“I will tell the truth… I was here because I follow you, sorry for doing that”

I am not sure why I don’t feel any anger or any hatred towards her,  it is as if that kind of thing with never appear in my heart. Specially when she was in front of me, even so I can’t help buta little down remembering those times that she tell the others our secret. I am not sure about what I am feeling but then I just open the box and pick up the ornament that was hidden inside of it and let the box fall on the ground as it make a loud thud. I was now heading in her direction as I hold this hair ornament in my hands. Why am I even doing this? I am not sure about that. Why am I even trying to act like this? Well that is also thing that I’m not sure of.

One thing I know is that my body seems to be moving on its own

” I think this thing that I got with suits you better”

Putting it in her hair it looks as if it was perfectly fit to be an ornament for her. It is a if that very same ornament was created solely just for her. I am not sure about what I am feeling like but one thing for sure, that ornaments suits her better just as I thought.

She was left silent for a little while as I can say that she was surprised by my action. Truly, this isn’t a kind of thing that I will do. I mean, I am not a person who will act like this… maybe I shouldn’t have done it… now I feel like regret in doing this.NôvelDrama.Org content.

“um.. thank you?”

I saw her gulp as she feel uncomfortable about the thing that have happened. Maybe she find it annoying, but she can’t say it for she think it would be rude for her to let me hear what she would say. Now  that I think about her sating it…  I feel a little down

” I think I have to go”

I turn my back and pick up the box that I just throw in the ground just a while ago. I feel bad about doing since this is the box that I am finding and it is important, how rude of me to throw it just like that

Wanting to punch myself for during such kind of thing, maybe I should just talk to Cavian and know what I must do. Well, that knowledge he have may open up this loose screw headed guy wanting to find some asnwers.

Sensing the surroundings, I can say that Aillard is not far from here. Well, looks like I should really go. I mean… Staying any more longer would be bad. After all, she is now fine. I guess… I can just leave her in her brother’s care. Aillard won’t let any bad thing to happen to her anyway, right?

Walking out of that place, there I went back to my house where my family lives. It was a very long time night even if nothing much happened. Um… well now that I remember it, I can’t probably say that nothing much happened since in that short period of time… lot of things did happened after me finding this damn box.

Lhana and the others have the other boxes in their hands which makes me feel curious about the things that they find inside of it

Are they as worthless just as that ornament I just saw? I mean… Is there a posibility that a useful thing like the map that I got when I find the box with Lana when I was a little was hiding in other boxes?

Thinking about that, I clean myself then lay in my bed letting out all of the tiredness I am feeling be drifted away with my thoughts

Should I talk to him and ask him for the things that I wanted  to know? Or maybe I should just think of it for myself since that is the thing that I have been doing all this past few years?

Leting out a sigh after fighting with my thoughts about the thing that I should do, I ended up calling him anyway

Drawing out a mana circle at the back of a thick book, I let myself have a comfortable lay on my bed as I waited for the signal telling that he is finally there.

Thankfully my room is always clean. I mean, compared to Emma’s room… It is finely good. I can’t position say that my room is cleaner than Rico since, that brat is a cleaning maniac.

Soon, the mana circle then emitted light tellung that the person from the other side is already there.

“Sup there”

It was Cavian. The person with great knowledge.

“What does it mean when a thing seems to perfectly fit something”

“How bold of you to say such thing. And where is the greeting? You sounds so rude for a young person like you”

“Stop telling wasteful words. I just want to know what the answer would be”

“Destiny”

“…”

I was left silent. Truly, I am not that kind of person who will believe in it anyway.

“You seems to be not wanting to believe in that kind of things. How… Funny”

“And what is the funny thing about that?”

“People around my tower will always believe in such thing”

“I am not a people around your tower that is why”

I then heard a chuckle coming from the other side. There was a small sound of explosions and soon he let out a curses.

“Dang, what a Muppet”

I just let him be annoyed on the other side as I waited for him to talk to me. I then hear a wiping sound as some glasses seems to hit each other together with a pile of papers.

“Why did you asked anyway?

It seems like he is changing the subject but I guess that would be fine. Might as well use this chance to dig some information out of him

“Did you forget that I can still see you? With that kind of expression, do you think I wouldn’t know?”

Oh shit, did he realized my plan?
