Hellish Obsession - Chapter 6：Lost him

A nudge to Peter’s ribs made him jerk awake from his nap to see the unfamiliar smiling face in front of him. “Who are you?” The first question he asked in alarm. How long was he out? He really hoped it wasn’t long.

“Hi, I’m Ethy’s cousin. Rhia.” Rhia introduced herself, extending her hand to him. Her brows bumped into a line as he didn’t accept her hand.

Peter took some time for his brain to recoup its system. And when the system recouped, he rolled his eyes in 360 degrees, searching for his friend. “Hi, Rhia. Did you see Ave?”

Rhia packed her hand back, lifting her brows. “You mean our Princess? She went outside a while ago, almost running.”

The pupils of Peter’s eyes narrowed and seemed to flee from the expanding whites of his eyes. Running? Something will happen today. The tension was building inside him from the morning “Shit!” He cursed underneath his breath and didn’t waste a second before fleeing out of the room. “The Queen is gonna kill me if something happens to her since I promised her to keep Ave safe.” He feared. Aveline wasn’t a common figure who could wander around, she was the dominant princess who had many enemies around. And the Gemini Zodiac Sign of hers.

A long relived sigh reached out of Peter’s lips when he saw her strolling towards him from the lawn. Though he looked somewhat aggrieved, she was alright. And that’s a relief.

Peter exploded like an atom bomb when Ave walked past him to the classroom. “What do you think you are doing? Where did you go?” He yelled at her, stepping closely behind.

Aveline slumped on her seat in the classroom and plopped her elbow on the table. Resting her chin on her hands, she swung her palm from her face to her hair, fingers twisting into her hair, and releasing again. Peter drew a chair in front of the table and tapped on her head as he sat before her. “What’s wrong?”

She lifted her downed face up. “I’ve lost him.”

“Lost whom?”

Ave dragged her hand down from the table and turned her head to the seat where that guy was seated on. “I think I’ve seen that boy. From last night.”

Peter held his gaze at her for a while, giving his brain some thoughts. “That guy from last night in the club! Do you mean the animal? Here? No way, an animal can’t….” He bit his tongue as his gaze met her narrowed flashes.

“You really think it’s an animal, huh?” Ave exhaled a breath what derived like smoke. “If he is an…” She paused as some analytic thoughts blew up in her mind and that got standing her up in a flash. “Peter, stay here. I need to go and find out something.”

Peter wasn’t surprised by this because he knows that every sixty seconds this woman invents sixty-one puzzles in her inquisitive head. “Need to go where?”

“Purple Forest.” Ave lasted for the least second here to grab the car’s keys from Peter’s pocket before she ran outside.

Peter pursed his lips. “Okay. she is going to the forest.” With that, he shrugged and the second later, he froze with his eyes wide open. “Wait what? She is going to the forest. Purple forest. Oh please, not again.” He immediately rushed to the lawn to fetch Aveline. But he was just too late, the car was already missing.
