Have fun reading Corgi's 🐶

×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

I immediately went to the boys restroom I knocked three times but no one answered or say anything, indicating there was no one inside.

Then flashes of images of Kane getting beat up and laying on the cold tiled floor with his pools of blood clouded my mind and I instantly got worried.

I had no choice but to go inside but just being precautions, I knocked again but still the same no one said anything so I took a deep breath — readying myself on what I am about to see once I open this door.

I reached for the handle and slowly twisted the door knob and push open the door but the restroom was empty.

My heart was beating so fast and loud I could almost hear it.

What if they brought Kane somewhere and beat him up there? What if Kane is getting beat up right now? Or worst, murdered.

I went back to our table to see if the three people who went up to Kane was there, but they weren't, the three girls that I beat up was at there table and was assisted by the waiters and everyone just acted like nothing happened.

My eyes met in contact with Dane and she has a smug look on his face while looking at me.

My anger boiled.

Why you little—

I close my eyes and took deep breaths and clear my head, this is not the time to get angry Cifi, Kane is out there possibly getting murdered and your here doing nothing.

I took one last inhale and exhale, I saw a waiter passing by so I asked him if he saw four men and one with different colored eyes.

" Yes, I think I saw them going to the parking lot. " He told me.

" Really? Thank you so much! " I said and took my wallet and grab a hundred dollar bill and gave it to him just a little tip after that I rushed to the parking lot — not waiting for the waiters response.

When I arrived at the parking lot I roamed my eyes but I don't see anyone, I got so worried but the problem was that I don't have Kane's number.

Kane doesn't even have a phone.

Now, is not the time for you witty comments.

Okay..... Sorry.

I checked every corner of the parking lot but still I didn't see the three guys or Kane. I look like a lunatic running around the parking lot but I don't care, all that matters is I'll find Kane and beat up those bastards.

If they touch one hair on him I'll tear those guys limb from limb.

Then I heard sobbing and it came from the forest.

Malenia is surrounded by trees if you wanna get in and out of this place you have to go through the Barriera Forest which means Barrier in English. Since the forest is the only barrier between Malenia and 'Tourist.'

Malenia is a beautiful place it's not filled with giant buildings and no traffic and it's surrounded by a Forest so the air is not polluted and there are only small amount of people living here.

That's what the Vinadacci's want to prevent, they don't want a lot of people to know where Malenia is so that Malenia won't end up getting damage since humans are the number one virus when it comes to destroying nature, and the Vinadacci's don't want 'tourist' destroying Malenia.

I slowly walk inside the forest—following where the cries come from, good thing it's noon if not, I would run back to the restaurant like a Chicken.

The forest was eerily quiet and I could hear the crunch of the leaves and sticks that I am stepping on.

I saw a silhouette of a person from afar but I couldn't quite make it out who it was.

And that's when I realized I was out on the woods with someone I didn't know...........alone.

Fear suddenly consumed my system I was too focus on finding Kane I didn't realize I was doing.

My heart rate was fast and my palms are sweating.

What if his not Kane? What if his a serial killer? What if he kills me?

The thought made my lips tremble and bullets of sweat run through my face.

I want to move but I can't, all I am doing was standing there — eight feet away from the silhouette.

The person was sitting and his back was on the tree he wasn't facing me so all I could was his shoulders going up and down and his sobs was getting louder.

" He-Hello. " I stuttered.

I could see the man's back tensed up and he slowly stand up he looked at me but I couldn't see his face because the trees block the sunlight.

But I recognize those pair of blue-brown eyes.

" Kane! " I squealed. I ran to him and hugged him because of worry.

" Cadence. " He whispered. I looked at him and some rays of light that peeked through the trees and illuminated his face.

" I was worried. " I muttered, he looks astonish for a moment but then his expression change and a soft smile was formed by his lips.

" I am sorry if I made you worry, and you must probably be hungry let's go and continue our lunch, shall we? " He said and let go of me and offered his hand.

I immediately took it and we walk outside of the forest hands intertwined together.

When we got to the parking lot that's when I saw that Kane's eyes was swollen and red and he has a scar on his lower lip.

I stopped, " Kane. " I exclaimed.

He stopped in front of me, " Yes? "

I didn't speak I was only looking at him.

" Cadence, I am okay. " He said, then I remembered the scene earlier where I heard him cry.

" What did they tell you? "

He was shock but I know he cried because of something those people said, even if action speaks louder than words. Words can cut you like a knife.

" Nothing, let's just continue our day and forget this ever happened. " I don't wanna let this go, but I also don't want to force Kane to tell me.

" Kane, always remember that I will always be here no matter what they say about you, you can trust me. " I said squeeze his hand for reassurance.

Kane's eyes sparkled and his formed a big toothy smile that made his eyes squint.

Then he pulled me in into a hug.

He let go of my hand and put his hand on my waist, while his other hand was on my back, and his face is in the crooked of my neck.

He let out a contented sigh before saying, " Perché non ti ho incontrato prima? " Why haven't I met you sooner?

" What? "

" Nothing. " He said and he smiled cheekily.

" Noooo I wanna know what you said. " I whined.

" It was not important. " He said to brush off the topic.

" If it was not important than tell me. "

" It was not important so it was not worth our time. "

I groaned and give up. Why does Kane always defeats me in arguing.

We were about to go to the restaurant when I stopped him again, he look at me and confusion was written on his face, " I don't mind eating fast food. "

Kane scrunched his eyebrows at me, but instead of telling him I grab by the wrist and pulled him inside the car and the chauffeur was kind enough to open the door for us but before I went in I told him to make a pit-stop at McDonald's.

The driver just smiled and nodded in reply and then I went inside the limo with Kane.

Our ride to McDonald's wasn't quiet since Kane bombarded me with questions about fast-food and what it is and what do they serve there or is it healthy but I didn't answered any of them which made Kane throw a fit.

He was pouting and his arms was crossed on his chest and he refuse to make eye contact with me.

But I only grinned, and Kane's driver stole a glance at us at the rear-view mirror and gave me a genuine smile and I smile at him too.

Kane glance at his driver before saying, " Concentrati sulla strada Rico! " Focus on the road Rico!

" Sì giovane maestro. " Yes young master. The driver replied and his gaze immediately focus on the road, but his driver has a teasing smile on his lips.

Isn't 'Sì' means Yes?

And 'maestro' means master.

Yes master? I don't think I like the sound of that.

But what does 'giovane' mean?

I have no idea.

We arrived at McDonald's and we entered the place with Kane's hands on my waist.

I told Kane to get us a table he was hesitant for a moment but he obliged.

I actually didn't know McDonald's exist till my friends told me about it and McDonald's is where we usually meet up if we wanna hang out. We actually bond at places that aren't so crowded with people from our school.

I am not ashamed of them is that they were the ones that suggested it and it was also because of my Mother who doesn't want me to hang out with poor people.

I told them my order and gave the cashier my money and I also gave her a tip but she refused since it was worker policy to not receive tips from the customers.

My shoulder slack of what she said, but I can't do anything about it so I also saw regret and sorrow on the girls face, she must really need the money.

" What's your full name? " I asked her.

" It's Sylvia Bennett Ma'am. " She answered.

I nodded and gave her a tight lip smile and went to where Kane's sitting.

I grabbed my phone and texted Frita, one of the maids of the mansion, to give relief goods to someone named Sylvia Bennett.

Frita became a maid at the mansion when I was fifteen the maids are not allowed to talk to us, but me and Frita became friends when she caught me sneaking out of the house when I was about to go to a Rally that time. A Rally about Human Rights and Equality.

After I was done texting Frita I put my phone down and waited for our order.

" Cifi? " I look at the person who mentioned my name and when I saw who it was.

" Austin? " I said with astonishment.

Why is he here?

" Why are you here? " Both of us said at the same time.

" Hey babe I'm done ordering. " Someone said behind Austin I stand up to see who it was and it was........Kyle Cunningham? What the?

I look at Austin and his face paled and his hands were shaking.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

Definitely.
