Chapter 69 - CHAPTER 69

Waking up back in my bed was the most greatest feeling ever . Until I saw the two faced bitch sleeping next to me uncomfortably . I was almost up when Beth came running to my room , "Rene , I don't know how , but I don't see Jessie any-"

She sighed a sigh of relief when she saw Jessie next to me . Jessie started trying to move around because of the sound made by Beth . The tape was stuck to my bed with magic too so I didn't have to worry about her getting out of the trap . Since she knew that I wasn't human , I had to think whether or not to set her free .

I did my morning routine and decided to go for a run in exchange of making breakfast with everybody else . Eating a lot of heavy , fast food were starting to effect my weight . "Ok then . See you later Rene ?" Nath said while he was starting to go and fresh up .

I started jogging right after closing the front door . Everything was fine . It was 7 in the morning when I left so it was only normal to see a very few number of cars on the rad , and people on the road side . Most of the cars that I saw at times were either people going to work , coming from work after working overtime , showing clear bags under their eyes , and third , people coming back from long road trips .

I played my favourite list of K-Pop songs to run along to . It was really fun watching everything around me with the vibe that 'Butterfly' by BTS gave off . I was near home now . The forest was next to the road and I had to be careful not to scratch myself against some of the branches that stood out . This was because our house was turning much more near towards the country side . The roads were thinning and the forest was out of control . I learned that the people did not want the trees to be but and instead , decided to just shorten the foot path .

I realised that my phone was no longer playing any songs . My battery had died . An eerie silence followed me when I was jogging back . Kate obviously didn't have control over all the Morkoths so I really hoped that I wouldn't run into the wrong side of the team right then .

After a while , I heard footsteps following the same pace as me . Could it be that he was following me ? I didn't want to use magic on someone human , especially if I had mistaken him about following me . I took a small glance towards my back and mentally agreed with me that he was definitely following me . The man , or woman , I could see his / her faces , wore a black mask , covered the rest of their head with a hoodie , wearing black jeans too . The moment that I looked back , he too looked back , looking for something that I hadn't even looked at .

I booked it and asked him looking confident as hell , "Why are you following me ?"

The man , whom I recognised from his voice , spoke in defence . "What do you think you're doing , lady ? Why are you reporting me for wearing some black clothes ! You must be some crazy bitch !" With that , he went into the nearest house we had on our right side . Even though the house he entered seemed fine , I knew that it was a vacant house and nobody had rented it .

Even if he had moved into the house , we had never noticed him bringing his stuff in . Was he a fraud ? I decided to let the landlord know about what I had witnessed and went back home .
