Dr Suria carried out her thorough check-up. Yurian had already debriefed her about Aselia’s condition and the false story they had concocted. So she went with the plan regarding her mory loss.
Her MRI scans showed heightened neural activity in her hippocampus region, aning her mories had been ssed with. But she kept that information to herself and told Aselia to stay calm and rest as much as she could before going on any new missions.
After spending several hours with Dr Suria and undergoing several tests Aselia and Yurian left the doctor’s room and she felt even more confused. Their next destination was Aldridge’s office. Taking permission they entered and the sa concern she had seen flash in Dr Suria and Yurian’s eyes was present in Aldridge’s eyes too.
"Good to see you awake, White Falcon. Please have a seat." Aselia settled down in the seat opposite him and he asked:
"So, how are you feeling?"
"I feel like everything is happening in a rush and I am utterly confused," Aselia was feeling sothing was amiss.
"I would feel the sa if I would experience mory loss too, but I assure you we are all here for every kind of assistance you might need. You are an asset to us and we will protect you at every cost," Aldridge assured her with a grim expression. Rembering the promise he had made to Xiran that he will hide her away and keep her safe at every cost.
"Protect ? What’s going on? I feel like sothing serious has happened?" Aselia couldn’t shake the feeling that they were hiding sothing from her.
"White Falcon, listen very carefully because this is serious. And I want you to not defy my orders this ti around. An original vampire is on your trail because of your blood and origin. That’s why I have decided to shift you from headquarters to a remote branch of ours. Your identity will be changed along with your appearance. Your ears need to remain covered at all costs."
Aldridge’s words dropped like a bomb on her. Her already hurting head felt like exploding. Too many emotions descended on her simultaneously and she felt like crying, she hardly ever cried.
"Sir! With all due respect, I am not leaving here because of so lousy vampire. Whoever he is, I am sure I can handle him. This is my ho and I am staying put."
"No, you are not. He is right because the threat is much bigger than you think. Cities are being demolished by him, we can’t face him alone. You have to do this partner because I will be leaving with you," it was Yurian who spoke from her side instead of Aldridge and she stared at him in disbelief.
"But, Yurian..." she was interrupted by him.
"Do you trust ?" he asked her softly.
"With my life," she almost choked with emotions, not understanding where they were coming from. She was not an emotional person.
"Then do as I say. Ti is of the essence and we need to leave tonight," Yurian grimly added.
"Yes, White Falcon. Listen to Yurian on this. You will continue to be a hunter but from a different branch, under a different na, from a discreet location. You are too valuable for us," Aldridge added with a slight shake of his head. He then addressed Yurian:
"Have all the travelling arrangents been made?"
"Yes."
"Have you inford ahead for living arrangents?" Aldridge asked.
"I have, there will be no issues. Have you notified the nearest hunter base that we will be arriving soon?" Yurian seed uncomfortable about the living arrangents.
"Yes, I have. White Falcon, you will be training and guiding the new hunters over there. We need your extensive knowledge in the field to shape young minds. Of course, missions will be assigned to you as well."
"Can soone at least tell where we are going?" Aselia uneasily questioned, seed like everything had already been planned and arranged without her consent and she wondered how dangerous the threat was that she was being hidden away.
"Town of Lahoire in Tremais, my birthplace," Yurian quietly answered while getting up and Aselia stared at him with a blank expression. He never went ho before and now he was taking her there.
"You must leave," Aldridge got up too and approached Aselia. His ever-cold eyes held warmth today as he held her shoulder and said:
"We always had our differences and you are the most difficult hunter I have ever trained and raised. But, I have always considered you as my daughter, so stay safe. We will keep the communication minimum and through secure channels, rember you are not Aselia anymore. That na is gone. Choose a na for yourself and make that your identity from today onwards."
Aselia was a bit taken aback by his affectionate words, the man had a stone in place of his heart and here he was being all affectionate to her. She simply nodded and said:
"I will and thank you Sir for everything you have done for ."
"Safe travels, go pack now," Aldridge ushered them forward and with one last look at him Aselia exited the office with Yurian.
On their way to her room, she saw Silver Wolf approaching them.
"White Falcon, how are you feeling?" his voice was firm but held concern.
"I am alright considering everything. How are you? How is Marhia? Are you people coming back from a mission? Because I rember the last ti I saw you guys was when you were leaving for a mission but I guess that was a year ago."
Silver Wolf and Yurian exchanged awkward glances at her question and she observed that his jaw got clenched and creases appeared on his forehead as if he was trying to hold back. This further confused Aselia.
"What? Did sothing happen? Please! I am already plenty confused."
"Partner! We lost Marhia on a mission along with our whole Alpha team and Agent 35," Yurian grimly answered.
