After returning from the building, Sydney returned back to her room and slept peacefully, and the next morning she was back to her normal cheerful self.
Jayden felt relieved that she was back to normal after that none of them talked about that incident, but after a few days a news was being spread like wild fire, it stated that eight corpses in strange condition were found in an old abandoned building.
It beca a pretty big news, the condition of the bodies wasn't described but everyone believed it to be the work of so cultist, only those people would be crazy enough to torture soone like that in the na of God and sacrifice.
After the police found that all eight of them were renowned criminal thugs, famous for various notorious behaviours, they didn't delve too deep into the matter and with a layer of mystery surrounding it the case was closed.
It was impossible for Jayden to know that the ones found dead in the building were the sa n who tried to kidnap them a few days earlier.
After that days went by peacefully, Jayden and Sydney still had their small adventures from ti to ti but they never again tried sothing dangerous like that.
Months passed like that without anything big happening, then few days before Jayden's tenth birthday Sydney was sitting in her room as she drew sothing on a big sheet, there was a beautiful smile on her face, and she was not using a brush to draw it.
Her hands had transford into a claw of sorts and scales appeared on her hand till her wrist, dipping her pointy nail into the paint she drew a face on the white sheet.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
There was a light knock on the door, her smile widened when she heard it and despite knowing the answer she asked anyway: " Who is it? " From outside, Jayden's voice ca:
" It's , are you free right now? "
Suppressing her grin, she replied: " Sorry I am currently busy with sothing, I'll talk to you later. " Jayden stayed silent for a few seconds as a frown appeared on his face then he simply spoke:
" Okay "
Then he walked away, for the past few days he felt that Sydney had been ignoring him, she would make excuses to not talk to him and would usually run back to her room as fast as she could, even though he had called out to her multiple tis she would give him the sa reply of being busy.
Jayden didn't like it and this situation was making him mad, but now that he had been staying away from her and had returned to being a loner, his thoughts drifted off to different directions.
Ever since she appeared, they had stayed together most of the ti and without knowing Sydney had beco a big influence over his emotions, just because she was ignoring him, his mood have turned so sour.
Jayden didn't like it and the fact that she had ignored him even though he had not done anything wrong, made him believe his thoughts even more, if he had really done sothing wrong she could have just told him, but because of her now Jayden was feeling a headache.
This wasn't the case with him before she had co here, whether anyone wanted to talk to him or not, it wouldn't affect his mood in the slightest, as these thoughts appeared in his mind Jayden ca to a conclusion that he had been wrong this whole ti, it was stupid of him to give so much importance to anyone, who could easily hurt him by their smallest gestures.
So he finally decided to return back to the way he was before, and let Sydney be, it was clear that she too didn't want to talk to him anymore.
' Actually, it is better, ever since I t her I have been in so much trouble to the point that I could have been dead that one ti, it was all just because of her entertainnt.
Yes, it is what I was for her, a way to entertain and enjoy, haa, I don't know why I even got fooled by her for so long. '
Jayden thought as he walked away from her room then he finally made the decision to just beco a stranger to her, and treat her just like he treats the other children in the orphanage, he was also aware that because she stays with him most of the ti, all the boys in the orphanage were extrely jealous of him, and would never miss any chance to make him suffer whenever they got the chance to do so.
The fact that his tenth birthday was coming soon and Sydney was preparing a gift for him didn't even cross his mind since he never even tried to rember his birthday after all they were just the dates that he had joined the orphanage on and not their actual birthday.
Then Jayden returned back to the normal routine that he used to follow before becoming friends with Sydney, for the next few days Jayden didn't go to Sydney's room and even in the class he had changed his seat away from there combined seat and sat alone in one of the corners.
The boys who saw this all felt ecstatic, they guessed that these two probably had a fight between them that's why Jayden had changed his seat and this finally reduced their hostility towards Jayden a little bit.
Because Sydney was busy with creating the drawing she didn't co to the class for the next few days, so she wasn't aware of anything.
But since Jayden no longer ca to et her she felt that sothing was wrong, and for so reason she had a bad feeling about it.
So she decided to go out and et him, it was the day before his birthday, she was finally finished with her gift after many failures, then she wrapped it up properly and placed it safely under her bed.
But just as she was about to walk out of the room, she sensed sothing and with a sigh she walked towards the window and after opening it she spoke:
" You can co inside, why were you just staring at from outside? "
While she spoke, a shadow flew into the room and stood behind her, Sydney closed the window and then turned towards the shadow, as she asked: " So, why are you here now? I think there are still so days before your usual check up it the surrounding. "
There was no motion in the shadow, it was as if no light was being reflected from it, as a hoarse voice of a man ca from it:
" I caught so noisy people nearby, and all of them have already been dealt with so no one would be able to discover this place anyti soon, but since you are staying so close to him it would only bring more danger to him, and I am sure you wouldn't want to throw Richard's sacrifice to waste. "
