17 worried

Third Pov

"Alessio faster! "We have to catch up with whoever the person is on the rooftop!"

Aron shouts while running as fast as he can with his brother following him, and the student stays still like a statue while they are passing over them.

The two witches are counting the minutes of how long the time will stop because it has already passed through the limit of the time that a witch could only stop. It means this might really be the one they have been looking for. The daughter of sir Ralph Benjamin is the leader of all the witches, the first family.

As they reach the building, all of the students are back to normal.

The brothers curse a hundred times because they haven't caught what they've been chasing.

However, they stopped walking as Aron saw his two students come on top. Though they didn't know if they were coming from the rooftop or not, he could see a fingerprint of the soul on Zimon, which they could only see.

"Is that your arrogant student? The son of the owner of this school?

Alessio asked.

"How did you know?" Aron asked.

"I was walking past your classroom earlier. It just happened that I heard you. Well, minus the time manipulation, of course."

Aron sigh...

"Well, you know that I don't have long patience; I just scare him a bit. By now, maybe he's just thinking that what he saw was just a hallucination. Don't worry about it."

"But why does he have a fingerprint of soul on him?"

"I don't know." "I think we have to investigate that boy as well."

"Let's go; maybe she is still there."

******

Xena

What happened? Where am I?

"Xena, are you okay?"

I narrowed my eyes as I saw the man that I hadn't presumably seen right before my eyes.

"You're frowning again, kitty. I shouldn't expect that after I save you from falling down the stairs."

"The doctor said that you have your period." That's why you suddenly collapse.

I lifted my eyebrow.

Yes, I feel that just now, but as I remember, I collapsed due to the creature on the rooftop, who amazingly disappeared just like that after she touched Zimon.

"Did you remember something on the rooftop?" I ask, though, as I remember Zimon ceasing for some reason, like when we were in class.

Zimon smirk,

"Are you afraid that I'm mad at you because of the slap? Are you curious because you hate that I still carry you through here? Not to mention the most important thing, I buy good damn pads in the supermarket nearby."

Zimon handed over the plastic of what he bought.

She sighs; she has no choice. If she called for Noah, she had to wait, and aside from that, Noah would be disturbed. In the end, she could cause trouble for two people.

But seriously, Zimon, have you forgotten anything?

She went through the restroom to fix herself, and after that, she went back to sitting on the bed.

"Why are you still here?" I ask while looking at Zimon, who is busy typing through his phone.

Then the doors burst open. Noah's worried, panting face welcomes them.

Noah quickly rushed through Zimon. Grab his collar in a rush.

"What have you done to Xena?" Noah shouted.

Zimon smirks.

"Noah, stop; he didn't do anything to harm me."

Noah narrowed his eyes, yet he released Zimon and then rushed toward me.

"Are you ok? What happened?"

Before I reply, the door opens again, and Liam is panting heavily like Noah.

"What happened? Xena, did you get hurt?"

I smile for how much concern they have shown. Now I know that Liam is not that bad after all.

"I'm ok, I just collapsed; maybe I overstressed myself these past few days due to what happened to dad. Then having my period drain me. Zimon, just help me before you conclude anything else."

"Are you sure? I thought, " Noah, then look at Zimon.

I sigh. Now I just remember that before I left him, Noah was too worried that I might be hurt by Zimon. Due to what she possibly does, that would surely make Zimon piss me off.

It's my fault that Noah thinks that way. Well, I still hate Zimon for the rumors he's spreading. But I couldn't deny the fact that he saved me. If he wouldn't, I might have dropped down that stairs.

"Why are you staring at me?"

Zimon asked while lifting his eyebrow.

I clench my teeth. I really hate him. Ugh, his arrogant self-centeredness. He thinks he's the king of this town. He doesn't even care for anyone. God, but to me—why is he doing that to me? What is he up to?

"If everything is okay now, I think we should go back to our class."

Zimon said, while Noah grabbed my hands.

"Are you okay to go back, Xena?" Liam asks.

I'm not used to what Liam shows; since we moved in here, Liam has never shown that he cares for us. However, these past few weeks, when my family experienced difficulty, Liam was there to help me. I can see his worry through his eyes.

I stood up, then smiled.

"I guess we have to."

I said then that I would walk through the door first. I think they were following behind. However, I stopped after I saw Seth leaning through the wall of the clinic. With his hands in his pocket.

"Seth, what are you doing here?"

"Nothing; I just thought that my brother did something wrong again."

I sigh, then look behind me.

Seth is worried about his brother. But he didn't step in?

"Zimon, just bring me through the clinic. He didn't do anything wrong."

Tss

Seth clicks his tongue, then walks first.

Maybe Zimon does this often. I mean, being in the clinic for doing things that Seth makes me worried.

They may fight often, yet Seth is still worried about his brother all the time.

"Seth, I told you not to rush to the clinic whenever you heard I was here."

Zimon shouted.

Seth lifted his left hand like he was saying bye.

While Zimon frustratingly uttered things that I couldn't understand.
