Chapter XI

Achet

Elizabeth woke up because of Aleesya. "I've had a dream..."

Aleesya keeps on running endlessly in a room full of books. It seems that there is no end to it. Then he saw Eddie, lying down while talking to a man who she assumes is tall and have the same hair colour as Eddie. She only hears mumbling sounds from both of them, then she felt a warm hand on her shoulder. When she looked at her back, it was a woman and suddenly she felt weaker and weaker until she woke up from a dream. A bad dream.

"W-Wait, same hair colour as Eddie's? And tall? Did you see his facial features?" Elizabeth asked her while preparing to go downstairs.

Aleesya recalls her memory. But to no avail, she can't remember the man's face. "Nope. I just saw Eddie. I didn't even know why they were in a library." she shrugs and opens the door for the two of them to go out.

"I'm from America... I studied here because I got a scholarship letter that was sent in my e-mail. But things got weirder when I graduated. I always have nightmares about a library. I didn't even know I'll be in this facility for too long. Alive and doing great, I think... I still don't know who kidnapped me. All I know is that I miss my parents... and Lucy, my little sister." George said while looking at a wallet size photo of his family picture. Eddie looks at Jerome, waiting for his story to tell.

Jerome sighs and looks at both of the men with him. "It all started when I got to our School Reunion seven months ago... I thought I saw the girl that I loved but she tricked me... the Horus tricked me. And then I woke up in this place. With no one with me... Until I had a chance to get out of the tied rope and explore this place. Unfortunately, it has no exit and that's when I saw George, sleeping." Eddie nods. If only I could tell Fabian about this... he thought. He tried to have a vision but he always fails. If only he can regain his energy to a full extent, maybe he can do it.

Stephen walks quietly in the hallway of the school building. He passed by Elizabeth and Nikola, but he doesn't talk to them anymore. When Elizabeth told her that she doesn't want to continue it.

Andrew calls him to have lunch with him at the cafeteria. "Do you even eat, Stephen? I don't want my friends to suffer from not eating enough... I'm just concerned for you, you know?" he said. Making Stephen smile a little.

"Thanks. But I'm really not hungry. I'll just talk to you while you're eating." Stephen said while Andrew nods.

Elizabeth was with Nikola in the woods, waiting for someone. Elizabeth is a bit nervous while Nikola just keeps a poker face. Nikola sighs, making Elizabeth look at her. "I am really rea-a-ally sorry I asked you to come with me. But you're the only one who I knew that also knows him." she explained.

"Are you sure about that, Elizabeth?" Nikola asked.

Elizabeth gulped. "Uhm... I-I... I don't- you know..." Elizabeth's amulet, which she is wearing now, glows. Signaling that the one who they were waiting, is near.

A man walks in the woods, a bit in a hurry but still keeping his grace. He smirks, seeing the two ladies already waiting for him. "I did not expect you have company, my dear Beth." Nikola rolls her eyes.
