Chapter 118 The Last Question



Katherine was nervous.....extremely nervous.

When she told her grandfather the truth, he was obviously shocked. But before acting rashly he sent some people to collect some kind of \'footprint\'.

Katherine didn\'t know what exactly it was all about but she was feeling much better with her grandfather by her side. These past five months moved at a snail\'s pace making her even more anxious, she had thought that telling her grandfather the truth would make him want to fight the angels or something of that sort.

Katherine realized how naïve she had been only much later, instead of digging more into the angels....he was fixated with Adam even now and who could blame him ?

The questions he asked were valid.

Katherine nervously waited as her grandfather knocked on the door, the door opens slowly revealing a barely clothed Adam.

\' ....\'

Katherine looked away feeling embarrassed, she had never interacted with the opposite sex in any manner so it was only reasonable for her to be shy. But her embarrassment was short lived as Adam quickly changed into his uniform and sat down to talk with Eustace.

Katherine listened silently while the both of them conversed....no, rather than a conversation it was more similar to a interrogation. Adam answered quickly and precisely which made Katherine feel happy....lying now would make him an enemy and Katherine wanted to avoid that if possible.

" Just who in the world are you ?"

Eustace asked his third and final question, hearing the question Katherine sharpens her ears and listened more closely.....she\'s wanted to ask him this for awhile now but her grandfather beat her to it.

Adam slowly gets up, adorning an uncharacteristically serious expression.

" I\'m.....late for school.", Adam said taking his bag from a corner and heading out.

Eustace didn\'t move probably because he was stunned and Katherine also remained silent as she realized that she was also late.

" Eustace....please don\'t do anything rash, it may endanger us all. We\'ll contact you when we need your help.", Adam said closing the door to his room, leaving behind a stunned Eustace.

Katherine knew her grandfather very well.

Eustace Colleen was not a man who stood still and waited for anybody, but still Katherine had hoped that this time he would, but she realized that it was too late from the glare plastered on her grandfather\'s face.

Adam...was in trouble.

Adam\'s POV

______________________

Getting out of my room, I take in a deep breath.

I really wanted to tell the truth....the full truth but it just felt wrong....as if I was exposing myself or something....

I don\'t know....it\'s just weird.

I begin walking to my class but stop as I realized that I had left Eric behind.

....

\'Eh he\'ll be okay.\', I thought abandoning him and running away.

On my way to the classroom, I meet up with the others.

" Hey look...it\'s the birthday boy.", Jennifer greeted me first.

" There\'s still three more days for my birthday...", involuntarily sighing.

That\'s right, it \'s my birthday in three days and Lecia\'s invited everyone to the mansion for a ughhh.....party.

I don\'t even wanna think about it....but I will.

I hate parties, it\'s that simple. I told Lecia to call it off, but she insisted on holding one. It must be because she feels guilty for all those party-less birthdays at the orphanage.....she didn\'t know this, but I was hoping for it to be the same this year.

But oh well, since she already minted invitations and sent them out to our friends....there\'s nothing I can do now.

" I can\'t wait till you see the gift I got you...", Emilia said bobbing her head up and down.

Seeing her excited made feel strange....but I tried my best to ignore that specific \'feeling\'. We talk about a lot of things and finally reach the class.

" As I\'m sure you\'re all aware...in a week\'s time your final exams will begin, the coming week will be your study leave so please make sure to study properly.", Dina\'s voice reached my ears.

I still couldn\'t bring myself to look her in the face.

But still as I listened to her, I was mildly surprised.

Time was moving very quickly, soon all of us would enter our second year at Unity. That feels crazy....it only feels like yesterday when I was intimidated by this school\'s huge walls.

A lot of things happened in the last five months and everything that happened was leading to this.....well not everything but still.....-

Things are finally starting to look up in as sense.....

~~~~

" How quickly can you arrange it... ?", Eustace talked with his phone pressed against his ears.

[One month.], an eerily low voice whispered back through the phone.

" Keep in mind that I need the best."

[ Yes, the person won\'t even know what happened.]

Cutting the call without saying anything else, Eustace closed his eyes, deep in thought.
