Chapter 24 - Chapter 24 : Yes little Fish cake

Placing her on his bed in his dorm room Drew sat down next to the unconscious Julie with a bowl of warm water and a small piece of cloth .

He dabbed the cloth in the bowl of water before he rinsed it slightly placing the cloth on Julie's head he cleaned the wound on her forehead before applying some cream and a a bandage .

He also cleaned the scratches and bruises she had on her body with extreme care slowly afraid that she might break if he used too much strength or pressure .

Placing bandages on some of the deep wounds he stood up and stared at her tattered cloths . His jaw twitched before he went to his grand closet . Taking out a white buttoned shirt with full sleeves he proceeded to where Julie lay .

Sitting down on the bed hestared at her face for quite some time before he hesitantly reached for her t shirt that was barely covering her exposed fair skin . He tore it off carefully not to wake her up .

He tried not to stare at her exposed skin for long due to his extreme thirst and after taking her shorts and shoes off , he slowly helped her wear the full sleeved white shirt , that reached above her knees .

He stared at her exposed legs for a second before he walked towards the bedside drawers , pulling out one of it he took out a small box from the drawer before pushing it close .

Walking around the grand bed he sat next to the still unconscious Julie staring at her and the small box in his hands with uncertainty and something else he couldn't deny .

Pulling out a small golden key from his pocket he unlocked the box , inside was a purple silk cloth tied in a knot . Opening the knot he stared at the things inside that he held dear , he took out a pair of whitish creamy stockings that had golden and silver embroidery patterns of flowers .

There was also a flowery lacey detail at the top of the stockings , a lot of memories both beautiful and funny flashed through his eyes and before he realized it a small smile had crept out to his stoned face making him appear a bit like his old self from years ago when she was still_ .

As if his lost senses had come back the smile on his face suddenly disappeared but his eyes still held a trace of those loving memories he didn't want to remember much .

Running his hands over the soft fabric slowly he decided it's fate , He slide the small fabrics on Julie's legs settling them securely on her thigh and to his surprise they fit her like a glove as if they were meant for her.... .

He stared at her but then narrowed his unexpressive eyes when they laid upon Julie's bird nest on her head since her hair wasn't in good condition . Somewhere in his heart he didn't want to trouble himself with the girl's condition but he felt the need to . He reached for her loosened ribbon and untied it letting her hair down that hovered over her fairly face , he reached for her face and pushed away the strands of her hair away from her face . Before he left the locking the door behind him with a slight bang .

***Morning , the sun rises bringing grief and pain ***

The bothersome morning sun rays managed to pass through the window and then the curtains before they fell on Julie's face forcing her to squint her eyes and frown due to the discomforting sun rays and the immense pain she was feeling .

Opening her eyes she stared at the purple coloured celling and then the window's curtains that were darker than hers . Anxious and worry marred on her pale face when she sat upright with great difficulty before looking around the room and noticing that it wasn't here's nor was it one of her friends' .

Julie got out of bed and tried to stand on her two feet and walk but failed and fell due to dizziness and fatigue , " Where am I ? why am I here ? what happened to me ? " Julie's asked herself but she couldn't recall anything useful .

She tried to stand again holding the bed post for support , her whole body hurt as if a sack of maize had fallen on her a couple of times before she managed to get away .

Walking towards the unfamiliar closet's mirror she stared at her reflection with widened eyes that almost popped out of her sockets . Infront of her was the reflection she desperately wished wasn't hers but it was , A girl with so many bruises on her body and face with messed up hair that almost resembled a bird's nest , and her cloths... ' who _ changed my cloths ' dread filled her face when she looked down at her cloths .

She was wearing a white full sleeved and buttoned shirt that was twice her size and the stockings that looked nothing like the ones she had ever laid her eyes upon . The embroidery was eye-catching and magnificent making her feel lucky to wear it , but they still weren't hers . But where was she .

The room was spacious and grand the walls were painted white and so were the curtains also in white , most of the things in the room were white in colour or silver which was odd .

Stepping on the enchanting balcony she was met by an endless greenery view of different kinds of trees , flowers and butterflies hovering around . Holding the railings she stared at the view in awe , the chilly morning wind blew making Julie's hair sway back and forth .

Forgetting about her existing worries she enjoyed the view and the fuzzy feeling but that didn't last long when she heard , " Enjoying the view I see , just don't get used to it little girl " someone stated behind her .

Julie quickly turned and faced the person who was speaking behind her with wide eyes and shock , There leaning on the wall with a thin cigar hanging on his lips . He wore a pale green buttoned shirt with three of them undone , the sleeves rolled up to his elbows allowing her to see some of the black flaming tattoos on his muscular arms .

He also wore a pair of darkening gray trousers with his feet bare , taking a puff of his lit cigar he made his way to where Julie was still standing . He released the smoke away from Julie face but that didn't mean the smell didn't bother her a bit .

" You ! what_why ? when " Julie stammered with millions of questions she wanted answers , He stared at her his black eyes coated with iced layers boring into her soul and her heart .

" What am I doing here and who_ who changed my cloths ? " she asked hoping it was a some girl or maybe one of her friends had changed her cloths not the other way around .

Drew stared at her with a hint amusement and something else unclear to the latter's eyes , one side of his lips curled up mischievously before he replied "A friend of mine did . She is a girl so don't worry yourself much " though he seemed to have replied truthfully but Julie still couldn't shake off the feeling that it was a lie . She glared at him with a doubting smile .

" I want to go back , where am I ? " she asked with uncertainty and creeping worry , He gripped the railings before he replied " Haven't figured it out yet ? I thought you were smart but I take it back now " .

Glaring at his back with an irritated sigh " Whatever ! just tell me already " Julie urged .

" We are still in the academy " Drew replied before he crashed the remaining part of the cigar in his hands .

Julie looked around again but she still didn't figure out if she really was in the academy_But if she was still in the academy then it means that she was in..... ' Julie thought gravely in her mind .

As if he had acknowledged what she had discovered his lips curved seeing her dreading face , " Yes little fish cake you're in my room " he stated as he towered over her .
