Lilly's mind was in turmoil as she tucked her younger sister into bed. She couldn't help but worry about what she would find in her patrol
Donning her high-tech black sleek armour, she felt the comforting weight of the cutting-edge technology that offered physical enhancement and higher stamina.
But Lilly possessed an inner strength that surpassed even the capabilities of her suit. Neural implants granted her abilities beyond those of an ordinary girl, making her a formidable force to reckon with.
With her armour securely on, Lilly left her house, her mind preoccupied with thoughts of Alex and his bite mark.
The metallic and futuristic houses seemed like silent spectators as she leapt from one roof to another, searching for any signs of supernatural activity. Her eyes were sharp, and her senses were heightened, ready to detect any potential danger lurking in the shadows.
The streets were empty and dark, everyone seemed to have gone to sleep. The whole city of New Haven was sleeping. But it wasn't the time for the supernaturals to sleep. It was the opposite.
But Lilly found nothing as she scoured the whole of the Starlight school.
"I should check on Alex now. "Lilly thought as she started walking towards Alex's house through the empty streets. Her armoured shoes struck the concrete as she made her way.
Arriving at Alex's house, she cautiously positioned herself on the roof of a neighbouring building, keeping a discreet distance. Peering through the darkness, her heart skipped a beat as she witnessed a sight that shocked her to the core.
Inside Alex's room, he sat on the bed facing another girl, and they seemed to be deeply engrossed in conversation. A rush of mixed emotions washed over Lilly – confusion, hurt, and jealousy mingled within her heart. She had hoped to find answers and protect her friend, but now her own emotions became an unexpected barrier.
Feeling a twist in her heart, Lilly could no longer concentrate on her patrol. The mission she had set out to accomplish had been sidetracked by the unexpected revelation of Alex with another girl. She couldn't bear to watch any longer and decided to retreat.
Returning to her house, Lilly removed her armour, feeling an overwhelming sense of exhaustion. But her mind was far from at rest. The image of Alex and the girl kept replaying in her thoughts, haunting her like a relentless spectre.
Her bed offered no solace as her emotions swirled within her. Her loyalty to her friend and her duty as an SBC agent seemed at odds with her feelings. She had lost her appetite for the mission, and now she was left grappling with the turmoil within her own heart.
In the darkness of her room, she wrestled with her emotions, uncertain of how to proceed. The lines between her duty and personal attachment had blurred, and she felt lost in the labyrinth of conflicting emotions.
Lilly knew she couldn't let her emotions cloud her judgment. Her mission to protect her city and her friend had to remain at the forefront. She needed to find the truth about Alex's involvement with the girl and the connection to the mysterious disappearances. There was no room for jealousy or personal feelings.
As the night wore on, Lilly attempted to calm her restless mind. She reminded herself of her sister's fate, the loss that had driven her to become an SBC agent in the first place. Her commitment to creating a world where humans could live safely without supernatural threats resurfaced, giving her renewed purpose.
With a determined resolve, Lilly decided to push aside her personal feelings for now.
Tomorrow was a new day, and she knew she needed a clear mind to continue her investigation. She would face her own emotions in due time, but for now, she needed to focus on protecting her friend and uncovering the truth behind the mysterious events.
