It was evening time and the atmosphere was slightly cold, autumn was fast approaching and leaves were already turning brown and falling off their branches, Jade sneaked into the house and tiptoed to her room, she could hardly wait to get into her room to conceal her neck before Turlip notices it, she soon got to her door and a sigh of relief escaped her mouth but unfortunately her relief was short lived Turlip suddenly appeared in front of her with the same probing gaze she had been giving her for a week now, startling her, "you are fifteen minuites late" Turlip said "yeah, i, we were asked to wait for an after school announcement" Jade muttered with a hint of nervousness in her voice her, even her interlocking and unlocking fingers didnt help in hiding how nervous she was "ok, see you when dinner gets served" Turlip muttered and turned to walk downstairs and Jade heaved a long sigh in her head it felt like a heavy weight had just beign lifted from her shoulder, " who is he" Turlip suddenly asked as she leaned back on the rails of the staircase and Jade froze then got covered in sweat "no replies?, i know it isnt Louis or one of your school mate, cause there wouldnt be a reason for you to arrive late at school this morning and he wouldnt have had the guts to do that to your neck" Turlip said and Jade took a large gulp of her saliva, she had been bursted "i don..." "Jade, dont you dare lie to me" she added "i, i, its.." Just then Ixora's call out came from the sitting room "we would deal with this later" Turlip muttered and strolled downstairs, while Jade stepped into her room and began bitting her fingers nervously, she couldnt make a call cause her phone's battery was flat and she had left it in the sitting room where the only socket functioning was with the hope of charging it later, "i have to do something" she muttered to her self but her head was blank with no reasonable ideas "oh no, i am so dead today" she muttered.
On Cyan's end, he was sitted in his study with X.L, his white lazy lap dog hovering around his legs, "you are getting obessed go take a walk" Cyan muttered without raising his head from the documents he was flipping through and the dog made a bark of refusal then strolled to sit in a coner with its rubber doll, "lazy, lazy dog" he muttered but the dog ignored him, just then Anthony strolled in with the doctor behind him, "good day sir Cyan" the doctor greeted and Cyan hmmed in awknowledgement while Anthony picked a sit beside X.L and began taunting the fat dog, "the test result is out already and fortunately miss Jade isnt poisoned but she was indeed fed with something though it isnt harmful, according to the test result she is safe and fine" the doctor said and Cyan smiled "that's good to know" he said and the doctor sighed "the lab isn't getting anywhere with the antidote for the poison in your body" the doctor said and the atmosphere turned glum and silent, "how many years do i have to live for" Cyan asked "you won't die anytime soon, that is if you dont come in contact with anything that would trigger the poison" the doctor said "maybe" Cyan muttered and turned his focus back to the document he was working on while Anthony nodded negatively and the doctor sighed, dropped the test result and strolled away, "there are many people depending on your survival now, you dont seem like you want to live" Anthony said as he strolled to settle beside Cyan and the latter laughed mockingly "with this kind of life that the both of us live we cant hope for too much, i do hope to live and maybe grow old with those dear but the bitter truth is always there, we have too many enemies in the shadows waiting to strike, i can hardly assure my self that the poison wouldn't be triggered" Cyan said "true" Anthony muttered as he toyed with the childish batman wrist band he was holding with some hint of emotions flashing in his eyes.
