Running in the middle of the night with a lady who was covered with a jacket on his back, Abel makes ease to the school entrance only to halt his step and take a good look at his surrounding as he tries to locate if there is any guard close by but to his surprise the place doesn't seem to be guarded.
"Well, did you by anyway located the closest guard" Lydia ask after catching up to him.
"I couldn't locate any of the guards and the place seem too quiet like there was no one inside" reply Abel with a frown.
"Maybe they are inside the building patrolling which is why you could not see them" said Lydia.
"so should we go in" asked Abel.
"Of course or do you have a place in mind" reply Lydia as she gave him a strange look.
Left with no choice than to go on with the plan, Abel move back a little before running forward and jump over the school fence and move to the side quietly before Lydia came in too. Continuing forward, they begin to walk carefully into the school premises as to avoid being seen by the guards that's if there is any.
Meanwhile unknowing to the duo, just after they have made their way into the school building, one of the security guard was already standing at the spot where they have landed as he begin to inspect the place.
"I could have sworn that I saw someone standing here" said the guard who has been resting when he noticed someone standing close to the fence but like it was just a dream, the moment he tried focusing his sight to take a closer look at what it was, it was already gone which left him to inspect the place.
"I think you might be seeing things Jack, why don't you just take the day off" replies his partner.
"I know you won't believe me but there was really someone standing here a moment ago" said Jack with a deep frown on his face.
"I believe you alright but can we just focus on patrolling the area instead of just standing here" suggest his partner.
"I guess you are right" reply jack before turning to continue his patrol but after taking a step forward, he heard a footsteps coming from outside the school and he yelled.
"who is there".
"looks like they came here" mutter the witch leader while standing at the entrance while looking at the school.
"Sir, you don't have any business being here so can you please take your leave" said jack's partner who overheard the middle-aged man.
"I don't have any business with you, I'm only here to take back what belongs to me and I would leave without it. So I will advise that you get out of my way" replied the witch leader.
"that should be my advice to you sir" said jack's partner as he pulled out his pistol to threaten the middle age man before him.
"Don't say I didn't warn you" sigh the leader before swinging his hand to the side forcefully and the next moment, the guard who has his hand on the pistol suddenly flew to the side as he slammed into the fence and lost his consciousness.
Seeing that his partner has been knocked unconscious, Jack suddenly took out his pistol as was just about to fire after seeing the strange seem but before he could think of pulling the trigger, he was also slammed into the fence and lost his consciousness.
"you could have just run away but you decided to fight. Now that I have dealt with the problem, it's time to get the vessel back and continue with the ritual" said the leader of the witch as he cast a spell, and the next moment the gate suddenly opened and he made his way in.
After getting in, the leader took his time as he advanced toward the entrance of the school before going in. Meanwhile, Abel and Lydia have made it to the locker room where they pull the body down before peeping to see if anyone was coming their way but there was none.
"That's strange, I don't believe that the school would be without protection" said Abel with a frown as he don't understand why they didn't come across any security guard while they were coming inside.
"Maybe they went to sleep early" reply Lydia while looking after the lady.
"That's impossible" interjected Abel before sitting down.
"We should be safe here before dawn" said Lydia as she let out a sigh.
"I hope so but what are we supposed to tell her when she wakes up and found herself naked and let's not talk about leaving the school premises without being caught by the guards" replied Abel.
"We will have to come up with something when the time comes but for now, I will suggest we get some rest" said Lydia before resting her back on the wall and shut her eyes ready to sleep.
She was just about to sleep when she heard the sound of footsteps echoing in the alley and she has to open her eyes.
"Have we been found out?" she asked while getting on her feet.
"I don't know but whatever that is making that sound seems to be hearing our direction" replies Abel as he focus his hearing on the sound.
Taking a peek at the allay to see who might be heading their way, Abel suddenly have the thought of taking the body somewhere else to hide from the eyes of the guard when he heard a voice echoing.
"I know you are in here boy so quit running and just give me what I came for and maybe I might spare your life".
"shit, we have been found out but how did he manage to track us down here" said Abel in fright after recognizing that the person who was heading their way happened to be from the dark witch association.
