Chereads / FINDING THE LIFE LEFT BEHIND / Chapter 4 - I have to go

Chapter 4 - I have to go

As I open my eyes, I see a pair of deep sapphire eyes looking back at me with adoration….. and that cheeky smile of his…. how could I ever forget it....I lift my arm to grab his handsome face the way I always do when he is acting so cutely …. only to I find nothing.

It was just a dream.... will I ever find my Leon…is he looking for me….I wonder...

Well, at least now I know what he looks like….. my Leon… what a looker.

I stretch a little bit and toss around in my fluffy duvet… I feel quite well….no pain or stiffness….. how strange….I thus sit up and remove the bandage from my leg and ….holy cow!! it's almost healed!! …..I still have a visible scar, and the leg feels soar especially when I walk around but otherwise I feel as good as new…..woohoo the perks of fast healing!!

I then check the calendar on my phone ….. fortunately, it's summer break …. No classes to teach...and more time to find out my past…. Perfect

I grab my pouch, go to the kitchen, grab an apple from the counter, and search through the pouch while I munch on the apple.

Nothing new in there just the stuff I saw yesterday…money, car keys, some water, more apples, the blades, the mask, the shroud, mana potions, some bandages, a change of clothes and a set of black keys which I have no idea where they open….…I then go back to the bedroom and search through the wardrobe…..a bunch of male and female clean clothes, underwear and a black box which I immediately open only to find a black crown, a black wavy wig that reaches to the floor and a lace mask studded with diamonds…. More questions instead of answers…nice…. I thus pack everything back in the box and put it back in its place…. I guess I will have to ask Leon once he is back….cause it seems I live with the hunk…..;).

I then make my way to the study I look at the left bookshelf, and my instinct compels me to grab onto the thick black book and pull it slightly. This causes the bookshelf to open as if it was a door with a dimly lit corridor that leads to an elevator…. suspicious much…..

Well, no harm in going there…. after all, it's my place…. So, I go in it and press -3 the only button available.

I arrive at a huge underground open-plan...full to the brim with cars, bikes, and helmets…..you name it it's there...I guess I will not have any problem with transportation….what a collection…

I then go to a room at the side which could only be opened with a palm reader I put my palm on the thing, and it opens.

Inside seems like an armoury containing all types of equipment…. Two sets of each… male and female…. And a small photo of Leon and me….mmmm… I like what I see...

Less drooling …. more exploring….I then go to the desk, which is at the far end of this huge room.

On the desk, I see the typed study plan and the notes for the biology master on top of which was a hand-drawn map. Apart from that, I also see a smartphone tossed at one side of these notes, I thus open it and find the last message. It was from Leon….

Darky, unfortunately, they've found our base... Dammit! I think we have a snitch in our group. Love, I don't think I will be able to reach you any time soon…wish me luck….. Leon.

Suddenly I feel a splitting headache, and then everything seems clearer…..I was on my way to help him…. I feel tears running down my face…. I have to go and help him…. Even though I don't remember much…..I feel it in my chest… I have to go.
