(EDITING)
"Do we really have to do this?"
"I told you we need to observe them first." Killian is really taking this serious. With a fancy shades in his face, he seriously followed our target inside the amusement park.
"I mean do we really have to pretend as a couple?"
He stared at me with a firm gaze. "Yes."
"Why? I don't get it!" But Killian just grabbed my hand and dragged me everywhere.
Our target first lined up in the rollercoaster ride. Killian quickly lined up as well, dragging me with him.
"Are you serious?! We really need to ride?"
"Yeah. Who knows he might do something funny in there."
Killian made an abrupt stop that caught my attention. Just a while ago he was so eager to tail our target, now he's so stone cold in his position."What's wrong?" My eyes glanced at the target. A mischievous grin slowly appeared from my lips as I saw where he was heading to."Don't tell me you're afraid of ghosts?" I asked, couldn't believe that the great CEO, Killian Lake doesn't want to enter the horror house.He turned and started walking away. "I'm tired. Let's just wait here." He quickly sat on a bench and started to fumble on his phone.This is such a rare sight. Of course I won't stop teasing him!"So, you're afraid of ghosts. That's news."
(EDITING)"You know guys can be really confusing.""You're definitely right on that." I can't help but to agree whole-heartedly.Sometimes, I really can't understand Killian. One second he's kind then the next thing I knew he's as cold as an ice. I mean, why is he so unconsistent?! I totally can't read what he's thinking."But what's more confusing is life," She started, dazed with the setting sun as a small smile crept into her face. "I really can't tell why things happen."I couldn't agree more. The first time I met Laurent I was dying. That time, I was just a normal human, trying so hard to live and get by.
(EDITING)"Victoria Beaumont," Laurent started. His lips were smiling but his eyes tell othewise. "she's the love of my life."I kept my mouth shut as he gazed on the window, the silent wind whistling with the moon's ethereal light."She was a human but was an exceptional since the day I met her. That day, I saw her fighting with a gang to save a bullied kid. I was already amazed, but I knew that wasn't enough to be a Chamber. It takes a lot of courage and strength to be one. Though she was brave enough, he strength isn't something remarkable. Physically, Victoria is weak."
(EDITING)"She's a really great woman."I might not meet her, but I can tell she's an exceptional one as Laurent told me. I cannot help but be amazed by her noble action.Truth is, if I'm on her shoes, I think I would be getting some second thoughts. It's not easy to fight with the expense of your life. As someone who almost died, I can tell the experience is really something traumatic. It's easy to say things but when the pedestals on, you'll find yourself wanting to hit the brake."That's why she was branded as the Great Chamber."
(EDITING)"Harper!"I quickly stood up as I saw Killian, dashing inside the house as he pants heavily."Killia-""Let's go home," He grabbed my hand with a firm gaze on me. "Harper, let's go.""Claw is not her home Killian." Laurent mumbled, his legs crossed as he sipped on his champagne. "This is where her home is."The two of them glared at each other. Killian's grip started to get tighter as he clenched his other fist."Laurent, we need to go." I butted in. I feel like trouble's coming in my way if I didn't interfere.Why are they so edgy whenever they see each other?!
"I thought we're going home?" I asked as I scanned the surroundings.This is definitely not the way back to his building. I'm sure he mentioned the only way he knows to get inside the Claw is through the 0th floor."Let's take a short break."///"So this is what you meant by a short break?"Killian suddenly brought me in a five-star hotel and here we are, sitting as the landscape of the city are vividly seen through the thick glass wall. The waiter put champagne on our glass as the faint classical music coming from the violinist echoed inside the room."Really?!" My mouth flung open as waiters continuously put dishes on our table. "Are we having a feast?! No, tell me how much does this cost?!"This is a freaking five-star hotel and he just bought almost every dish they have!
(EDITING)"You know we can just stay at the hotel.""No way," I retorted as we walk. We're going straight at my apartment since I really can't sleep in places unfamiliar to me.It's still a mystery as to why I can sleep comfortably in Claw. Maybe because I have powers? I don't really know.But my tracks immediately stopped as something caught my attention.The convenience store.My face lighten up as I saw my bestfriend inside, eating the expired items just like she always do. She looks so bored.Now I felt sorry for being gone for several days.
(EDITING)"Harp!"I almost choked as Levy lunged at me from behind. She hugged me tightly, making me unable to breath."Hey, she can't breathe." I heard Levi's voice as well from behind."Oh, my bad."I quickly catch my breath as I hold onto my chest. I felt like I've lacked oxygen for years! I should really protect myself from Levy's affection. It's deadly.She looked at me teasingly, her arm on her wait. "How's the date?" Her eyebrows went up and down."Date? It was a mission." I defended myself."Date my foot. Killian likes someone.""What?" My attention quickly went to Levi.
