Beauty guards dropped Tobias on the floor heavily like a sack!
"Mmf" Tobias groaned painfully.
He had been brutally beaten by the 'water' in the apartment.
After the water rushed at him, he had thought like the liquid it is, would only splash on him.
He learnt it the hard way that mermaids can control water including making it a lethal weapon!
The water that had splash and scatter on hitting the door had solidify and slammed on him heavily leading to a severe damage internal.
He had tried to escape but ended up been hit multiple times with growing injuries on the outside and inside. His self healing mechanism couldn't keep up and directly shut off.
Beauty had toyed with him greatly before finally deciding to bring him to Joseph.
'weak and useless!'
Beauty sneered mockingly. She had thought he is a spy since she didn't bother to memorize his heat signal before and had made sure to beat him almost to death. To create a psychological shadow before interrogating him.
But having him is somewhat reassuring and helpful since he can help in Winter's disappearance.
Too bad she had beat him nearly to death!
"Toby" Papillon face grew unpleasant on the side. The look of the injuries on Tobias looks shocking and terrifying! He needed timely help or would bleed to death!
She and Jude had went to look for Tobias in the wrong direction and ended up in the hands of Joseph.
The latter had treated them like air just calmly leading them to the auditorium and settling them.
He hadn't spoken a word to them since just occasionally communicating with the mer guards on the side.
Dave had gone up to pull at Jude on arriving keeping him busy. While she just stood quietly waiting for the awkward atmosphere to disappear.
Until now..
She walked up to Jude and whispered a few things which the latter nodded.
A slight crease on his brows showing tiredness. The person persistently disturbing him showing no signs of giving up.
Papillon walked up to Tobias and placed her arm on him.
As the energy flowed the minor injuries on his body disappeared first, the major bleeding spots followed next.
After waiting a few minutes the injuries on the body healed up with new flesh already grown.
Papillon still have Joseph a cautious at Joseph even if Jude gave her a green light to healing Tobias their captor Joseph didn't.
Joseph returned the stare uninterested and lifted his gaze away.
Beauty also stood with her arms crossed looking elsewhere.
Jude was right none of them cared!
"Ugh" Tobias weakly opened his eyes, his eyes cautiously glancing around and only after making sure he breathed a sign of relief.
"Ahh" he groaned in pain.
"Easy buddy" Papillon held him up" you are healed externally but internal..you are a mess!"
" You are like a whole blob of broken bones and mixed intestines"
Tobias pulled his lips unhappily.
"like what kind of fight did you get in?! We're you fighting a wrestler?!"
" Why can't you just do your usual method of escaping?"
" You know you are really good at that"
Why can't this girl shut up!
The others had turned their gazes to him. He felt the particular disdain and sneers.
He didn't have the strong desire for a hole to crawl into when he was fighting than now!
"That is like a second ability of yours!"
Tobias"..!!"
Tobias opened his mouth to yelled frustrated.
I really tried but...was I even given a chance to escape!
Wait!!
'Why can't I hear my voice?!'
"Oh and try not to stress your throat" Papillon advised.
" I didn't know whether you did a lot of screaming while fighting because your voice is very hoarse"
" You severely damages your vocal cords!"
Beauty eyes turned deeper.
The noise he made was heard from the apartments below and she remembered one was playing their music very loudly.
"Mm" A small smile lingered on her lips adding a touch of softness. She has immense beauty announced as the number one beauty in the school and everywhere she goes.
Unfortunately the smile quickly disappeared before seen.
"Well that is actually a good thing..for the rest of us" Papillon added.
Tobias"..!"can you please stop talking ma'am!
Papillon looked up and saw Tobias red face and choked expression with satisfaction.
'fool!'
She led to sit down on one of the seats and stayed beside him.
"Jude" Joseph low and calm voice called out without any hint of the craziness he did yesterday.
Jude walked away from Dave with a relieved sign and walked over to Joseph.
His heart couldn't help but skip a beat looking up at the towering Joseph.
He now had an ingrained fear of the person.
"Winter is missing which we all know and it's confirmed"
" I want to ask you for the sake of everybody where is she?"
Jude clenched his fist and opened his mouth to refute but was interrupted by Joseph.
"You don't know exactly where she is"
Jude face fell.
This isn't a question rather a statement!
Joseph is meticulous in what he does how can't he notice this major thing.
"However you do know who took her and somehow a rescue party have been organized"
Jude took a deep breath and looked up defiantly.
"Yes"
There is no harm in not answering now!
Besides he had already admitted to knowing she is kidnapped and he knew where she went.
Papillon on the side grew nervous, she clenched the helm of her cloth twiddling with it.
Joseph looked down his expression still calm with a hint of scrutiny.
He had tried to check the memories of the trio,a blur keep appearing like they aren't even sure that is their memories!
Someone had placed a lock on their mind keeping him from checking or controlling.
The person is very meticulous carefully planning each step.
The person calmly predicted him and his next moves guiding his movements towards one direction.
Must be someone that knows him in and out.
There is no one that knew his level of power in the school except Saint and his mother.
Things don't just add up everywhere!
He had reached a conclusion!
