Helanie:
"Is she okay?" I asked, watching Emt shine light into Jenny’s eyes.
"Is she going to lose the mory of us?" I continued, rubbing my palms anxiously. If I could, I would trade eyes with her.
Lamar and Gavin stood beside Emt in his office, while Penn was pacing around, hands on his head, looking anxious.
"Is she going to be possessed by the demon of the powder?" The minute those words left my lips, Emt raised his head and stared at in silence.
"What? Is she going to?" My breath hitched. Even Jenny started smiling. What was so funny about it?
Emt then turned to one side, staring at Gavin, who instantly swallowed his laugh and tried to keep his posture straight, then looked to the other side where Lamar was standing. Lamar had the sa reaction, but he hid his laugh by biting the inside of his cheek.
"Alright, tell , which one of you told her that?" Emt sighed, rolling in his chair. They both pointed at each other.
"Lamar did," I frowned.
"There is no such thing as that," Emt turned to and shook his head. He looked so serious most of the ti, but the minute he looked at , his eyes would shine so brightly that my heart would start beating loudly.
"Is she okay?" Penn definitely wasn’t part of any jokes. While I gave deadly glares to Lamar, Penn intervened to ask Emt.
"I know what was put in her eyes," Emt said, "but I won’t tell any of you. Let the test pass, and then we’ll see." We stared at each other in shock. "Trust , it will be worth the wait."
Of course, I would trust Emt in a heartbeat, but Penn couldn’t agree with him, and I understood why. He was concerned about his sister’s health.
"What if it gives her any side effects?" Penn anxiously rubbed his palms, hunching over the table to question Emt.
"It won’t. However, it will make her act up. So I’ll suggest you guys keep an eye on her during the test," Emt claid, obviously upsetting Penn.
"I can’t let her go out for the test when I know sothing’s been put in her eyes," the mont he slamd his fist on the table, we all stepped away because Emt steadily stretched his neck and then gave him dead-eye contact.
"There’s nothing you can do about this powder. It fades away in a few days. So, either you make a fuss now and delay the test, or let her go out for the test and pass the test," Emt’s words were convincing. Even Jenny gently held her brother’s arm to stop him from resisting anymore.
"So the decision is yours," Emt said.
"I will go for the test," Jenny explained, getting up from her seat and making a decision for herself. I could tell Penn wasn’t too satisfied, but as Emt said, there was nothing we could do, so he had to bow down to the decision.
"Now go ahead and keep training," Emt dismissed us, and everyone started leaving. But just as I was about to leave, he said my na softly, "Helanie."
I stopped and turned around to see him leaned back in his chair, rolling it slightly, watching with such dreamy eyes that my heart skipped a beat.
"Co have a seat," he uttered, looking so relaxed. With a gulp, I closed the door again and sat across from him.
While I sat there, I watched him just move his chair and keep staring at . I suddenly felt so shy under his gaze.
"How good are you with children?"
His question was vague, and I couldn’t understand the reason behind it.
"I used to take care of my—" I instantly shut up when I recalled what I had told them about myself. But it was true that when Vani was little, I used to take care of her. Even when I was only four years older than her, I took care of her like a mother would. Of course, I couldn’t tell him all that since I had told him I left my pack when I was just a kid myself.
"I used to take care of kids of the rogues in the woods," I made up a lie, and I noticed him closing his eyes and laughing a little.
"Why are you asking?" I asked, feeling curious.
"Just wanted to know. Say, if you have to take care of kids, can you?" My heart was beating so loudly now.
I knew these were normal questions, but sohow, my brain was processing them wrong.
"Will you have my children?"
That’s what I was hearing, even though he wasn’t saying it. I could bla it on my body’s heat, which was rising in the mont.
"Yes," I replied shortly, taking deep breaths to calm myself down. I guess I needed a shower to get the heat off my mind. I wasn’t even sure how I would react to soone getting intimate with at this point. My body might even reject the touch, just like it did with the first kiss after that incident.
"Okay, you may leave now," he softly blinked his eyes and gestured at the door.
"Thank you, sir," I quickly got up without wasting any ti and rushed toward the door when I heard him say sothing one more ti, but this ti, his statent was very informative.
"It is pigeon eyes."
I turned to him and raised my eyebrow.
"They put pigeon eyes in her eyes. You can research it yourself," he replied, smiling at , "but I would suggest you don’t tell anyone yet. Let the test pass, play mind gas with your enemies, Helanie. Besides, there are only three teams that can win. If one gets disqualified, the others automatically win. Now I hope you’ll use this information wisely," Emt said in the most understanding voice.
I swear I could hear him talk for hours and never get bored.
