Chereads / The Secret Of Vanetta / Chapter 25 - Luz del Alba (Part 5)

Chapter 25 - Luz del Alba (Part 5)

Roselyn spread her vision all over the corner of the club room upstairs. The atmosphere here is not much different from downstairs. Equally crowded with visitors.

Roselyn looked for Vanetta's figure who according to the barman said that he would find Vanetta easier. But so far, Roselyn had not found the person in question.

Among the visitors and club employees who dress almost the same model. Both ancient typical of medieval civilization. She did not find the girl the most flashy and charming. They all looked equally pale. Is it Halloween day? Why does everyone look pale?

Roselyn glanced then saw the figure of the girl in the red dress sneaking through the crowded visitors. Roselyn saw that she was the most conspicuous in terms of the color of her dress. Roselyn then tried to catch up and follow the girl's steps.

"Vanetta!" call Roselyn. She hoped the girl would turn and approach her. But it seems her attempt failed. She saw the girl in the red dress getting further and further away from her and headed into a room.

Roselyn then continued to walk in the direction where the girl had gone. She didn't want to lose her chance to find the person named Vanetta. Because she wanted to have that money in return.

Roselyn then stopped in front of a room door. If I'm not mistaken the girl in the red dress came into this room. Roselyn was a little hesitant to knock on the door.

Then she was startled by a pat on the back. Roselyn gasped as soon as she turned around. A girl was standing behind her with a smiling face.

"What are you doing?" the girl asked. Roselyn kinda forgot her name. But she had met him at the coffee shop this morning.

"I, what are you doing here too?" asked Roselyn.

"I'm looking for an employee of this club. Her name is Vanetta," the girl replied.

"Va-Vanetta. Are you looking for her too?" asked Roselyn.

"Are you looking for Vanetta?"

"Y-you work at that coffee shop right?" asked Roselyn.

"Yes Miss, my name is Ruby!"

"Oh Ruby, yes I remember. Just call me Roselyn!" he said, holding out his hand.

"What are you doing here Roselyn?" Ruby asked trying to be friendly.

"I saw Vanetta come in here earlier?"

"What, you know Vanetta's face?" asked Ruby.

Roselyn shook her head. She only felt that the girl in the red dress was Vanetta.

"Then, let's find it together!" said Ruby.

Roselyn then knocked on the door. Hoping the girl in the red dress came out.

There is no answer or answer from within. This time it was Ruby who tried to knock on the door.

"She didn't answer," Roselyn replied.

Then with courage, Ruby pulled the doorknob and opened the door. Empty.

There was a large room but no one was there.

"Are you sure you saw her come in here?" asked Ruby.

Roselyn didn't answer. She was just too surprised and felt strange. How could the room be empty, when she saw the girl in the red dress enter.

"Roselyn, there's no one here, let's look elsewhere!" Ruby said awakening Roselyn.

They both closed the door again. Roselyn's face was still trying to guess what just happened. She was very sure that the girl had been in there.

"Come on, let's look downstairs!" take Ruby.

"The barman said she's on this floor. We just have to find her here!" said Roselyn. But her mind had already noticed something strange.

"Ruby, have you been here before?" asked Roselyn.

"This is the first time. I'm looking for Vanetta because I have to apologize to her because I made a mistake. I ruined her order."

"Oh I see, that's right. I thought you were a visitor too. But why are the others dressed strangely huh?" asked Roselyn.

Ruby shrugged her shoulders, "Then why are you also looking for Vanetta. O-yeah, aren't you the one the grannies sent messages to who came to our cafe!" cried Ruby.

"Yes, the grandmother asked me to look for her granddaughter here named Vanetta. She was asked to meet her grandmother immediately in the village."

"I see."

"So the money---"

"You know that too? The money?" asked Roselyn, surprised that Ruby also found out about the money in the package.

"Yeah, I accidentally saw and heard it. Let's find it again!" invite Ruby then. She didn't want it to give the impression that she wanted to interfere with Roselyn's affairs or business here.

Then the two of them returned to look for and ask the visitors there.

However, none of them knew of Vanetta's whereabouts. Roselyn also did not see the girl in the red dress earlier.

"Roselyn, let's drink first! I'm thirsty!" said Ruby.

"You go to the bar first. I tried to get back into the room.

"Good!"

Ruby then went downstairs to the bar counter. Upstairs is just a place for visitors to chat and play a game that looks like a gambling game. So if they are thirsty and hungry they have to go downstairs.

Roselyn then returned to the room earlier. She tried to make sure again that the girl was there.

Roselyn faintly heard something behind the door. In the room, she heard something. Like someone is talking.

Roselyn then knocked on the door slowly.

Roselyn then opened the door and entered. And the room he had entered with Ruby. Two girls were standing there looking at her. One of them was the girl in the red dress.

"Which of you, who's Vanetta?" asked Roselyn looking at each girl's face. However, Roselyn was surprised by the shocked gazes of the two of them.

Roselyn then suddenly felt her head spinning and dizzy. The two girls slowly approached her. But Roselyn's vision was blurry. She couldn't see them enough. But she very clearly heard them talking.

"Barty, what have you done to Cathleen?"

"If I don't make them disperse, they'll be able to find their reincarnation. That can't be happening!"

"Barty, Vanetta won't be able to return----"

Roselyn couldn't hear any further because suddenly her ears were ringing very loudly. Roselyn then looked at the two girls who she slowly couldn't see because all her vision was blurry. And she was unconscious after that.

"Roselyn! Roselyn!"

Roselyn felt her body being shaken by someone. Slowly Roselyn opened her eyes. She tried her best to adapt all her five senses right then and there. She heard the sound of music, and she smelled the aroma of the drink that stung her nose. Her eyes then looked at Ruby's face that looked worried.

"Ruby!"

"Roselyn. Are you drunk?"

"What drunk." Roselyn then tilted her head. Look around. How come she's back at the bar. Even though she thought she was in…

"Let's go home! I already asked the barman earlier, that Vanetta just came home right after you told her."

"What, I already---" Roselyn felt awkward. She didn't think she'd met Vanetta yet. And the two girls. Roselyn glanced left and right. Where is that girl?
