RHEIN'S POINT OF VIEW
"Find the answers." She was already in front of me but I still could not see her face. Black... black was what was inside the hood of the cloak. "Rhein, here is the beginning."
"W-why are you d-doing this to... m-me?"
I fell and lay on the cold floor. I could still feel the intense pain. My vision was also blurry and so was my hearing. Even before I fainted, I heard her last words before she disappeared.
"You will also know when the right day has come, Little Lady."
I held my forehead as I remembered everything that happened to me before I lost consciousness. It felt like it was all just a dream.
"Why did she do that to me? What is she after?" I whispered to myself. I layed down again and shook my head. This is bad. Even I am already talking to myself.
Is it because of wealth? We are not rich. Is it because of my internal organs for her to sell? I think not because I know she is not a normal person. What if she wants to take my life? Is it possible? Based on the threat she made earlier, it is... but, why has not she killed me yet? Does she intend to play with me first before ending me?
I jerked up automatically. "If she is really after my life—"
"Are you feeling okay now?"
Although surprised by my sister's sudden entrance, I just nodded. She came closer and sat next to me. I thought she was going to hug me. Instead she hit me so hard that I cried out. I just laughed it off but deep inside, I wanted to cry. It was so bad, I already felt like I was going to die from my headache earlier but then, when I get home, I got this pain. "Ouch!"
"What happened to you? You were fine when you left, but when you arrived, you suddenly became a floater and passed out in front of the door when I opened it."
I was sure that witch did how I got here. This was the only possible explanation for that.
"Sorry if I worried you again." I forced a smile and hugged her tightly.
I heard her laugh slightly at my behavior. "So you. You are hard-headed as always."
I closed my eyes and felt the warmth of my sister's embrace. It will definitely be a long time before I can hug her like this again.
Even if it hurts, I still have to do what is best. If I am really her target, I would never let the rest of my loved ones be harmed.
"All right. Rest first. I am going to cook."
When Sister came out, I immediately packed. I removed all the contents of my backpack and put my things there. I did not bother to change my clothes anymore. I just put on my white shoes earlier. I also took my savings inside my drawer and placed it in the pocket of my bag.
I took a deep breath before leaving the room.
Since my room was just opposite the kitchen, Sister Rona noticed me. She was currently frying fish.
Her sight was on my bag and me. "Where are you going? It is getting late."
