Lily's POV
I'm walking with Rose to report to our superiors about Luis. Honestly, what an annoying kid! You don't touch my Rose!
"We are here!" (Lily)
" I guess so," (Rose)
She sighs.
"Is something wrong Rose?!"
"I just don't know if this will pan out alright. I'm sure they will be expecting a full report and a way to bring Luis to our side."
"Don't worry, if it's you, I'm sure it will work out if it's you!"
Rose looks at her.
"You trust in me too much." Says Rose as she opens the door with an ID card.
"Well, if it doesn't work out you still have me Rose!"
She smiles back
"Yeah, Yeah."
Inside the room, there's 1 person seating on an oval table. Seating at the table there is a male with Black hair and eyes on his forties with a rough face. He has an aura of power and is looking at the entering figures.
"Hello Mr. Taylor"(Rose)
"Drop the formalities, Rose. Care to explain why we have that little prisoner over at the magical ward. He doesn't look like a criminal. However, he'll keep on being treated as a magical criminal if there isn't a proper explanation for me to tell my superiors...It has been about a week since you guys brought him unconscious here. Why haven't you made a report yet?" (Taylor)
"We were just waiting for him to recover and see if we could any clarification from him. But that was..."(Rose)
"I saw on the monitor and heard as well, he'll be a tough nut to crack." (Taylor)
"He is nuts! Trying to harm my Rose and-"(Lily)
"On his defense, you came in with that nasty spell of yours and he immediately saw through it. Anybody would be pissed if you were trying to trick them like that. It does make me wonder though, he saw through that spell and acted upon it. Just what kind of life he lived before?..."
Taylor said as he looked as if he was going into deep thought. But then he stopped himself remembering the purpose of this meeting. "So, how did you guys exactly found him?"

We return to the scene where they were last seen leaving the former Bloody Crips hideout. Both of them pursuing on foot.
"The two magic signatures stopped." (Lily)
"How far until we get there?" (Rose)
"Ar our current pace, it will take about 5 minutes."
They kept on running trying to conserve mana just in case anything big happened. That was when Lily sensed that the extremely faint magic signatures spiked. Almost as if they were ready to...
"They are about to fight it out. I can't really tell who they are but one of them has an overwhelming amount of magic."
"I understand, let's see how this plays out. Hopefully, they both tire each other out."
Another moment of silence happens until Lily interrupted again.
"Rose, this isn't good. It's extremely one-sided. If we don't get there quickly enough there's a chance that we'll only have one magical signature."
"...I'll go ahead." Rose speeds up by enveloping her body light magic.
The two magic soldiers that were fighting finally within Rose's sensing range. It was then that she saw what was happening. One of them was desperately struggling as the other toyed around with him using magic. Rose sees the man approaching the other one on the ground. She quickly gets in between them.
"What are you doing Argus!?" (Rose)
"Tch, why are you here? Whatever, I'm leaving."
"Do you think I'll let you?!" (Rose)
"Are you sure you wanna come after me? That kid over there is about to die." Argus says as he starts running.
Rose starts going for Argus but then senses that the presence behind her is fading slowly.
"Tch"
Rose grabs the waning presence and carries her over to Lily in order for her to heal him. While carrying him he notices that the boy has a gun on his side and has a lot of scrapes all over his body as well as a big wound on his back. Just what the hell was the kid doing.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
" I see, I understand the situation better now. Do you know anything further than that?" (Mr. Taylor)
"We know his name and family of origin. For now, we have avoided doing anything further action."
(Rose)
"I understand the situation. However, with information this vague, we'll still have to treat him as a magic criminal."
"..." Rose gives him a slightly annoyed expression.
"Well, I can't do much for his case. The best way would be to her from his mouth or force him by using Lily over here but the way he is right now is worrying. I don't think a 13-year-old has done anything too severe so if we get him to fess up we'll be good."
"In that case, I can-" (Lily)
"Let's stop there for now Lily. It's already late, we'll wait for tomorrow so that he can cool off. We'll try asking some question then." (Mr. Taylor)
"...Ok." (Lily)
"We'll be taking our leave." (Rose)
"Roger that." (Mr. Taylor)
With the report over women left the room and started heading to their dorms.
_______________________________________________________________________________
I've been laying down on the bed for a while now. I said that I would escape, but how is it possible. My magic is certainly being drained but it's not to the extent where it causes me any problems.
I have two problems for now. The first one is that I can barely move due to the lack of nutrients in my body. I could distribute them evenly and get every single nutrient of off every meal with my healing magic. But even then it's still not enough.
The second is that I don't know if any of my spells are strong enough to break through. I could aim at the door but I'm still not sure. I'll just have to try the same thing I did with Argus and hopes it works.
But that still doesn't solve the problem of me lacking the proper nutrients to keep on going. Think Luis, what can you do? I can still use magic even if I am this hungry but I can barely move my body due to the lack of nutrients... Maybe I am thinking about it the wrong way, instead of "nutrients" I should think "energy."
So then, I am missing "energy." Is there a way to obtain it here? All there is here is a sink a bed and a toilet. Ughh... Actually, I don't exactly need to use something inside here right. My healing magic lets me control my bodily functions...Bodily functions! That's it!
If I remember correctly I read that a body eats itself whenever it starves to death... So then all I have to do is use up all the energy in my body and then let my body eat itself. Once it does that I need to memorize how it does it. And do it while I heal the areas that are eaten.
So I could make my body eat itself while healing...The only problem is that this is going to hurt so much! But that's my only viable option right now. Then, in order to use up the energy that I already have... I have to start exercising, distribute every single possible bit of energy to all my muscle cells.
Let my body start eating itself while somehow maintaining consciousness and remember how it does it and then use healing magic to heal the eaten parts. I'll then make my body forcefully eat itself while I apply healing magic... Fuck, this is going to hurt
