"Are you sure we made the right decision to send her out of here?" A lady asked while facing and looking out the window.
A man gently went to the other side before stroking her head. "Don't worry everything will be fine and when everything is over he can come back here now, he will be there for the time being."
—
"What did you say?!" She shouted while giving the young man a bad look.
"Alright, I'm sorry but we really need a place to stay because we're new to this world." Zera was stunned when she heard this from the girl.
She sighed and looked at the young man again.
"Alright, but you can't stay here long," he said, because he was worried that the person he let into that apartment looked untrustworthy.
"And who are you to command the princess?" The man asked him while he was still holding his coat.
"You're the one I'm ordering, okay? And one more point at me with your katana and I'll charge you with attempted murderer!" He says. She didn't feel good about the young man earlier, but the princess said she was calmer because of her beauty, there is no denying that she does look like a princess.
"Attempted murderer?" They both asked in surprise. Zera ruffled her hair before violently going to the sink.
"That means he tried to kill me. Have you eaten yet?" She asked. It was good to know that Zera was born to be merciful even though she didn't like the behavior of the young man behind her.
She had agreed earlier and she knew it would fit the three of them. She just couldn't bring herself to leave them, especially the young woman who looked sorry and gradually began to believe what they were saying.
She reached for the dish that was left over from earlier in the cafeteria, but it was given to her after all before she left and it was as if it was a minudo and caldereta for free to her.
Zera served the food on the dining table while the girl just stared at the food she was serving on the table.
Zera sat on the chair next to the two chairs.
"What are you waiting for, aren't you going to eat?" She asked, while spooning rice.
The two looked at each other but eventually sat next to her. Zera was about to get a dish when Gavin suddenly grabbed the dish.
Suddenly, the girl's eyes widened as if she was about to scream at him when she saw that Gavin smelled it.
"Gavin what are you doing? Such an act is blasphemous. Let's just thank this beautiful woman for helping us," said the girl, before gently taking the dish and handing it to Zera.
"But your majesty I am not satisfied with that woman. What will happen if you are poisoned by the food she prepared?" Zera, who was already taking a bite of food, suddenly choked and quickly reached for the glass with only water.
"Ahem! You're the one who's been baited, did you see I was eating it? If you don't want to eat, that's fine," she said before taking another bite and glare at Gavin.
The princess smiled before reaching for the dish that made them both look up.
"I'm sorry, your food looks good," she said before taking a dish. Zera swallowed before nodding. The young man looked at her worriedly as he watched her chew her food and it was evident that she was enjoying what she was eating.
"Oh did you see she was eating? Eat it," she said to Gavin, so the young man did nothing but follow.
While they were eating, everything was quiet.
When Zera finished putting away the food and washed up, when she finished she saw that the princess was sitting on the double deck and waiting for her.
"Where the man with you?" Zera asked the girl.
"He left to look around" she said calmly. Zera sat next to her.
"You know your companion is weird, you to? Did you two escape from you house because of love affair?" He asked continuously. The girl couldn't help but frown.
"W-weird? Love affair?" She asked. Zera doesn't know if she will lose her mind talking to strangers who want to stay in her house.
"I don't believe what you said that you are a princess," said Zera directly, because what they are saying is unlikely to happen and it is not fully understood where they are coming from.
"I understand why you don't take our word for it but we're telling the truth. We ended up here because someone wanted to make an attempt on my life. Gavin ran me out of our world for my sake," she said. Zera frowned at what she said.
"You know how I can believe if you have no proof?" She asked. The girl's face looks gentle and doesn't seem to know how to lie but in Zera's time there are many people who cheat with such a face.
"Nothing but I can attest that we are really unique," she said. Zera watched as the girl closed her eyes before open it..
"I can feel gold," she said. Zera was stunned by what he heard.
"There's gold in your pants pocket," she said. Zera's eyes widened because she didn't say anything about it before and she didn't show it to others since she came here because it was a gift from her parents.
"W-how?" She stuttered and was having trouble swallowing.
"I also felt a lot of gold behind your house you can dig it up to believe it," she said with a smile.
Zera realized what she said before violently standing up. "Let's just say that I believe you but you can't really stay here for long and I'm not living here. I can only help you for a short time or I will talk to Mrs. Santos to let you stay here," said Zera. Because she couldn't swallow that she could neglect the two even though she didn't know them. She knows her conscience card when something happens to them.
"Put this clothes on first. I also have new underwear in there. Just put them on that haven't been used yet," she said as she handed over the clothes she was going to lend. The girl stared at hee before tilting her head to look at her..
"Underwear?" She asked and Zera patted her own forehead because of that.
"Ah, that's what you wear before the clothes, I'll leave you there for now, I'll just look at something outside," she said. She was about to leave but was stopped by the girl's voice behind her.
"You are truly a good woman, I hope one day I can repay your kindness and I promise whatever you ask me when I return to our place, I will fulfill it."
ZERA It's cold. Maybe it's good to have coffee here. I don't understand the two people in my house, especially that man. I felt that my burden became heavier when I met them but at the same time I felt sorry for them. The weather is cold today, maybe there is a storm. I'm at work even if it's raining, the student still going to school despite of heavy rain. That's the way it is, they spend when it's sunny and then when it rains then they have school, they're really strong right. "Zera, just serve it to those students," Aling Nena said to me before handing the dish and some rice for the table that the old woman was pointing at. I walked closer to them and that's where I served their food before I returned to the front. A few hours later I was observing the customers. This is how hard life is here, it's hard to find money. "Zera someone is calling you," Mina said to me before she reached for my cellphone. Maybe she heard so I just took it before checking who called.
In the middle of the night, a young man ca see outside the home where they live only temporarily. It was behind the house where the woods were, it seemed that he could see someone following a voice in his ear that seemed to echo and did not silence him. "You will never be happy." This is the word whispered to him following the laughter of that one.l Anger started to trigger in his brain so he went out because that silence did not calm him down. He spun around while holding his head and was pulled out by it, then his intention changed to a furry appearance as his nails on his hands and feet began to grow, his body shape changed from its normal state and then the tail that was about to touch the ground with its length, his eyes flashed before he looked up. The young man seemed to lose his senses and ran into the forest, he noticed a wild animal that caught his eye. A ferocious wild boar, he began to attack him even if the other side fought back, in the end he had no escape from the
"Let's get back. You're right, there is a condition. I want you to find my brother in the hands of the person who threatening me." "Find? Why? Am I carrying a map for your missing brother?" The young man said irritatedly, causing Zera to look at him with her glaring eyes. "My request is not a joke. I will only be silent if you agree with me." The young man's eyes became serious but his face showed more irritation.. "I will not do your request if I have to take your life I will do it just to keep you quiet because I will not look for people who are unlikely to be found," he said before turning his back on the girl. It seems that Zera is planted in her position and doesn't know why Gavin just left her. "What happened to him?" She asked before gasping violently. The hope she felt seemed to be buried in the ground just like that. After a while, Zera decided to go up because she also felt the fear of the long night and the young man didn't even remember her and left her there with onl
"And I hope you can also protect the girl who help us. We owe her a lot Gavin," the princess reminded him. When he swallowed it was as if he was having such a hard time that he couldn't help but wince."I-I'll follow," he said with a forced smile because he couldn't figure out why he didn't like the girl. —"Hurry up." Zera frowned at the two young men pushing each other. These are students from the school that is just across from the the small food area."Wait a minute!" It said. One of them took out a papel and a ballpen before handing it to Zera who just looked at him in surprise.."Sis
"Next time don't just stand there. You don't have to accept everything. Learn to fight!" That scream echoed throughout the place, causing those in the kitchen to come out, even Mina got stunned and stop from what shes doing."What's going on?!" Mrs. Cozaron shouted and brought another ladle when she got out. It seemed that she was ready to beat the handle on anyone who shouted and surprised them all.Aling Nena looked at them intently as if she was concerned and Mina took off her headset and noticed the men first who waslaying on the ground, unconscious.Gavin turned an glare look to Aling Corazon, the kind of look that will really rub your spirit and because he thought that the old woman stopped and seemed to stiffen in her position."Don
"What's the cure for that?" Gavin suddelly asked, make Zera got stunned.He remembered that the princess would be angry with him if she found out that he wasn't looking after Zera properly. Compared to the princess, Zera has no ability to take care of herself but the princess has been trained to protect herself."I have a handkerchief in my bag, ask Mina to get it and then wrap the ice in it," she said to at least remove the swelling."Ice? What kind of thing is that?" Gavin asked. Zera tangled in her hair due to stress."Just ask her a ice, hurry up the customer will come again later.""Wait for me here," he said and left. Gavin walked into the shop and there was another customer, a girl students. They looked at Gavin and couldn't help but
"W-why did you t-take that? That's the only one that my b-brother gave me before he d-disappeared...." She said at the same time as she sobbed as her tears fell.Gavin was also stunned after he bit into the lollipop.After the girl said that, she walked away from that place and enter to her workplace.Zera went inside holding her thigh. Mina stood up from where she was sitting when she saw her in that state and quickly left her place to approach her."What happened?" She asked and helped Zera sit in the empty seat."My feet got hit in the chair earlier when the boys were blocking me and then," she said. She didn't say the part that Gavin still beat her so hard, she know Mina will think something if
Gavin stop from what he's doing when he notice the princess enter the fastfood chain.He rush to put down the dirty handkerchief thst he use to clean the table and walk toward the princess. "Your mages- Sera you shouldn't have left Zera's home yet what if something bad happened to you?" Gavin said with concern. Sera look at him before a soft smile shown on her angelic face. "Don't worry I can take care of myself I just want to see Zera, where is she?" She asked looking around. Gavin hesitantly pointed out where Zera was so the girl walked towards it. Zera looked up when she noticed a person in front of her, an angelic face smiling at her now.. "Are you doing something?" She asked. Mina was surprised at how gentle her voice was. "It's not much, do you need anything?" She asked. Gavin frowned when he saw that Zera didn't respect the princess. She look like she didn't even give a damn even she know taht Sera was the princess of their own world.Zera can feel a glare from Gavin but sh
I looked up at the sky. 'Ella, how are you there? It's too bad he won't be with you but I'll do everything for him to get better, don't leave him alone' I closed my eyes when I felt the breeze on my face. I looked down and separated from Mister. "I wasn't the only one who did that, they were the reason why we did that, so I hope you agree to go to the mental hospital to recover, they can help you there and I know you will get better." He stopped crying and wiped his tears but he didn't answer but nodded softly. "Thank you..." I turned to my colleagues, they were smiling except for Gavin who only had a serious look. After that we took the old man to a nearby house.I just realize that the old man was staying at the tree everytime because Ella was ofter went there. Now we are going back to the mansion. "Zera, your kindness is really different." I heard Ice say. "No, thank you for agreeing to help him, because it feels different when a member of your family is lost." I a
Zera pov "Gavin, that's mine!" I yelled at Gavin when he didn't eat his vegetables. It's just annoying, I know that he doesn't like it but it's a shame because we don't have jobs we're just getting by on the money we have. "Then get it," he said nonchalantly and even took the meat on my plate. I glared at him but stopped when I heard a giggle next to us. "What are you laughing at?" I asked Ice. They shook their heads and did not answer. We're getting up early today, we're not going to school anymore, we've decided that we're not going to do what that person tells us anymore. They called after the incident and they needs to see our target dead but I won't do that, I know the woman they killing is a bad person but I don't want to be like them. Gavin didn't agree with us but what else could he do? Xanti also agreed with me. After we ate, the others rested in the garden and now Ezra and I are washing the dishes, I am soaping and he is rinsing. We alternate washing here, Ga
"You're right! You think I'll let you do that?" She just said calmly as if the woman said nothing. This woman ordered to hold the girl but before they could do it some men appeared behind her and held their hands tightly to stop her. "W-what are you doing here?" The woman in front of Zera stuttered. Zera looked in that direction and saw her friends, standing behind the woman. 'finally...' "We're here to tell the police what you did." Their bodies stiffened when Adrison mentioned it.They walked up to the girls and held their hands. "This can't be done! You have no evidence to show!" She said this and struggled to get out of Nathan's grip but the young man pressed harder on his arm. The girls also let go of Zera and she walked towards Gavin. Lifted a piece of pearl and two photos into a usb card. "Is this not enough to be a proof? A pearl that you have, you were too careless in committing a crime and you left evidence," Zera showed the pearl but Nash was the one talking t
"Did you find out right?" A woman asked when she saw her colleague who had just entered her home. "Yes, they went to the rooftop of the school and they also took the picture," she said. Her colleague was speechless and seemed to be a stump while thinking. "Then start the plan, they won't know about last week's event." They all agree with her. They may all perish if it spreads. The police turned a deaf ear to the girl's death last week but they won't allow anyone else to know to drop them all. "You're right. The name of the girl with them is Nezzera Ash Gray. A transferred student. Do you want us to follow her?" This is a question. Her colleague thought about it, but later she grinned at that suggestion. "Hmm it's kinda interesting..." —— They were all dumbfounded when they got home, no one talking while Gavin was thinking of what to do. At night, they were all sitting on the sofa, while Zera kept looking at Nash and Clayton, which the
"Wait, so that means she has something to do with it?" "Wait. I also heard earlier from the girls that they were whispering that a first year college girl had died since last week and because of what happened no one dared to go to the rooftop," said Jam. Nash and Clayton looked at each other as they seemed to be processing the events in their minds. "K-killed someone?" The three, Zera, Ice, and Ezra stuttered. "Do you know the name of the school owner's daughter and who died?" Xanti turned to Julian who was already working on his laptop. "I tried to find the files of every student in this school," he said and became busy. "It's not what we're here for. Why do we need to know? We'd rather kill the woman we're supposed to kill," Gavin said. Zera thought about what he said. "Well, you're right..." Josh said. Even he wants to know the wonder of the school but they can't interfere. "Guys, I found it the daughter of the owner of this school is dead 5 months ago because of hear
"W-wait, is that blood?" They stammered. They looked closely at that piece. They looked at that side, there was no trace of blood around. "It just means it probably didn't happen here or was cleaned up by someone," Nash whispered. Clayton looked closely at the wall and the floor but saw nothing. Gavin frowned because of that. "Couldn't there just have been a little accident?" Zera asked. "You may be right, but you may not be. No one knows if it's just blood," Josh said, but he wasn't convinced by what he said either. Gavin walked to the corner and could see below where there were many students. While he was looking, there was a fragrant smell that caught his eye, so he immediately turned around. He moved quickly with a breeze and opened the small room in the rooftop, he turned on the light and Zera followed him. At first glance it's just a normal basement where there's nothing and just a place to hang out. They slowly entered, Zera and others even managed to sit on
"Mister, I'm not Ella," she said but the old man hugged her again. "No. You are my daughter. I miss you so much... Why did I leave your father? Your mother is gone, isn't it?" Zera gulped, thinking that the man's daughter was lucky for the father's love for him. Zera couldn't help but hug him. "Stop it," Zera said and stroked his back. The man fell silent and broke away from the hug. "Who are you?" Zera was confused but smiled and helped the man sit on the side of the road. "I'm Zera. Can I ask why you're here?" The man looked and could not remember what was happening. "I-I don't know...." After a while, his tears began to flow again as Zera watched him. "My daughter... my daughter is gone..." He said. Zera's gaze softened as she listened to the old man's every whisper. Not far away, someone was watching, watching Zera. "Stop now. I know your daughter is watching you. Don't make yourself like this because she'll just be sad." The man stopped and bowed, his sh
"Stop this. I'll explain why we should kill that woman," Adrison and Julian suddenly burst out where they all stopped, even Zera and Gavin stopped struggling in the hands of others. "What do you mean?" Zera asked calmly before removing her hand from the other's grip. "Zera I didn't say that I agree with what they want to happen but we're in a tight spot, our mission is to save your brother. I also can't take killing someone but if Gavin does it, that's fine, you're right Zera we can't kill but we need to be practical anytime, if we don't do what they tells us to do they can harm your brother..." He said. Zera swallowed because of that, because of the annoyance she felt she forgot the purpose of what they were doing. "Worse, they will both die.." Zera's body softened upon hearing this while the others just watched. "Y-you're right..... I'm sorry, I got carried away, I just can't take to kill." They stared at her as she spoke while looking at the grass. "I'll kill him for
"Take it," she said and held the knife out to Gavin. "If you stick that in me, I won't deny your plan," she said with a smile that made their bodies stiffen. "Zera! What are you doing?!" Xanti shouted. He was ready when Zera asked him not to come. "After all, you're thirsty to kill that girl, I'll agree if you do that..." She said but Gavin still didn't move. "It's hard? Why? Because I'm not doing anything wrong to you, am I?" Nash now understands why Zera is doing that. "That's how we feel. We can't do it because we have no reason to do it" she said before grabbing the knife and turning her back on them. "Get out of the kitchen, you can't help here, you don't know how to cook," he shooed Gavin and Xanti away. Gavin seemed to be stuck where he was standing but after a while he violently turned his back and walked away. Xanti glanced at Zera and they all went out, leaving Zera's friends who were just sitting at the table. Josh, Nash, Ezra, and Ice. _ Adrison was str
