Chapter 39
“Who…”
Not being able to finish what she was about to say, the girl came in. With her long brown hair, it took her no time to have a short boy cut hair with its bright orange color.
‘Woah…’
Surprised, the only thing she can do was take a step backward.
“Who are-”
Again, she did not have the chance to complete her words. With the pair of hands holding her mouth, numbers of footstep can be heard from the corridor outside
“Where is she? Did you see her?”
“No, I loss her”
“How can you lose her when she was right in front of your damn eye?”
“She was fast and-”
“Idiot!”
Hearing the words of those people outside, she can’t help but have hunch on what the situation really is. Whispering on her ears, luckily, Brylle is in deep slumber.
“By any chance, can you lend me pair of clothes?”
“Y-yes…”
No matter why she was chased by those people, there is only one thing that Lea is certain of. She must do as she says. In this type of situation, she was the one with no power. even if Brylle was With her, he was sleeping and she is standing from afar. There is no way that he can save her if she call for him by now.
“Good”
Letting het walk and pick up some clothes, the woman is taller than her. She also have piercing as of now. She put it while watching the situation outside.
‘Who is she? Why are they looking for her? Hah… and why did she had the chance to open the door? I am certain that Brylle didn’t leave the door open when he got inside…’
“I saw these… and…”
Looking at her with a bored look on her face, she saw how Lea was about to offer her a dress. Reading her thoughts as soon as her eyes met with her, Lea immediately throw the dress away.
“Will this be alright for you? It was Brylle’s and…”
“Yes, that will do”
She did hesitate when she heard that name. that is when she realized that they are not alone.
‘So someone else is here huh, I barely even notice. Thankfully he was a deep sleeper. If not, things will get out of hand and I will have no choice but fight him/ I better leave as soon as possible’
Removing the blouse she was wearing, it was of a steward as she just realized it. but the way she care no less about anyone that can see her changing, Lea just block the sight where Brylle can see the lady.
‘Why is she changing right here? the bathroom is just right there…’
Shaking her head she had no choice but keep her mouth shut. For the only thing that she can do right now is obey her. Who knows whether she was a friend or foe. But no friend would act like that…
“What is your name by the way?”
Hesitating about that question, Lea did not answer. That made the lady roll her eyes.
“Do I look like a bad guy?”
She asked as– wearing a man’s clothes with the upper part not even buttoned all the way down, her hair cut that is of a man, having that piercing and a tattoo of her chest, add the fact that she was hiding from people that was looking for her –she don’t know the reason why she got that kind of reaction from Lea.
“Look, I won’t ask anyone to kill you”
She bluntly muttered. But still,
‘Wait… I am not even thinking about that but…’
Those kind of things did not even cross Lea’s mind.
“Just tell me so that I can repay you somehow. I have no cash with me right now, you see”
Slightly smiling, she saw how lea just wave her hands trying to deny the offer she just said.
“No, I mean… there is no need for you to do so, I am fine… it is alright. Really”
“Tch… you really won’t say it. would you?”
Removing the sandals that she was wearing, the lady walk near Brylle. That surprised Lea.
“Wait, what-”
“This would do. A bit bigger but… yeah”
Mumbling those words as she talks to herself, Lea does not know what she would do in a situation like this.
“That was Brylle’s…” Lea mumbled not having any power to stop her from doing so.
‘She wore it already….’
Looking at the pair of shoes that she pick up, Lea can’t help but be worried as Brylle made a movement.
Ready to punch him any time, the lady felt relief that Brylle did not wake up, so do Lea.
‘What is her deal? I really should have run to the door back then. Maybe… none of this would ever happen…’
frustrated in the turns of things, Lea just hope that things would went well. She is worried not just for her sake but also for Brylle. If there is someon e to be blamed for everything that happened, it would be her, since she was the one that should stop her in coming inside their room.
“So you are Allea Kruie, that nice. I shall remember that name. gonna pay you back some other time”
‘How did she-‘
Holding the folder containing information about her, Lea keeps her mouth shut as she gulps.
‘And why is it there??! Isn’t it supposed to be inside the drawer???’
Looking at the time, it seems like the lady had no time left for her to be dilly dally. And so she heald to the direction of where Lea was. Smiling as she goes.
“I gotta go”
She then mumbles as she tap Lea’s shoulder.
“I am Mira by the way”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
She said winking at her as a smirk crept on her lips.
‘Guess there is no way they would recognize me like this, right?’
Holding the wig on her hands, there she saw a trashcan that is not made up of plastic. Throwing the wig inside it, she pour a bit of alcohol she got nearby and lit it up with the fire flakes she had with her. It was a advanced type of matches that would create a small fire when it was brushed together. But the form of it is like a paper.
“Is she… Crazy?”
Left stunned by what she just witnessed, luckily the fire is not big and it soon disappeared as fast as the train passing by. There is no wig to be seen in the same place where Mira throws it. all that was left was nothing but a small piece of plastic and some trash.
“And I am good to go”
Mira smiles as she looks at Lea for the last time. Waving at her as she wore the coat that was hanging on the rack.
Thud
And so the door was shut close. Leaving Lea puzzled by what really happened. Everything happened so fast. Just a while ago she was here and all of a sudden she is already gone.
Slightly tapping her face to see if she is just day dreaming or not, Lea let out a sigh of defeat. It hurts a bit. There is no way it is a drea, like what she thinks it was. All of those things really did happen for sure. But even so… She could not help but be full of wonders.
‘Just… what in the world happened in here?’
