He waited in the office for the girls to co back half focusing on his task to locate Talia but around six, Adele sent a ssage that they wouldn't be able to return since they were out of the country.
It seed like his thoughts were right, his Aunt did take a impromptu shopping trip to whatever place was hottest in the fashion world. It was her usual routine so he didn't mind it.
He told her to be careful. He knew his uncle Daniel must have deployed people to protect them. Although the matter with the crown was over, it would take a day or two for everything to cool down that included the people who were paid by the Green family. After the family collapses, the bounty offer would be retracted automatically.
These people have excellent information gathering capabilities. If the client was unable to pay, they would think twice before abandoning this mission. After all it was all for the money!
During dinner, he sat together with Ellie for a light al. Both parties were not hungry so Amanda only cooked so light soup, sothing nourishing for their body.
"When do you think I can go back?" Toward the end of their al, Ellie finally opened her mouth to ask the question that has been bugging her.
She found living in this unfamiliar environnt a daunting task, sothing way beyond her comfort level.
"Soon, maybe couple of days? Nothing certain can be said right now." He gave a vague answer seeing her face turn sad.
Instead of reassuring her, he felt happy. This was the affect he wanted!
"Then, I will leave first."
"Wait! Maybe you should take a room upstairs. It's safer."
"Upstairs? Isn't it where you live?"
"? No, there are plenty of room. You can lock the door no one will disturb you." He quickly explained feelings she would mistake his intentions.
She looked at him for couple of seconds before nodding in agreent. She already heard from Amanda that wolves like to visit the living room. If she accidentally saw them, she would definitely pass out from fright again!
Samuel smiled before seeing her go upstairs. Amanda told her which room was free so she didn't need to search for it.
"Are you not purposefully scaring her? She need to face the fear nit run away from it." Amanda said scolding him. She could see he was playing so tricks.
"Aunt, why would I do such a thing? I only wish what's best for her. She need so privacy, yiu don't know what she has been through."
"I know enough. When soone new cos in this house, words get around. It hard not to notice the whispers." She said while cleaning up the plates.
"Well, rumours are exaggerated. Just keep her company for few days, she will not be here for long."
Sge only gave him a blank look obviously not believing his words. Has anyone escaped this place before? She didn't think it was possible!
He went back to his office, sitting down staring at the computer screen. After a while, he simply sighed before returning to his room. He knew if he ant to find Talia, he would have found her by now, for now, he could only hope he would not feel the strange sensation in his heart when he wakes up tomorrow.

The following morning, Ariel and Samara led Talia back to the laboratory. This was the final phase of the initiation so all three of them were tensed for completely different reasons.
Samara, who wanted to usher a new age of Vishkanya have great hopes from Talia. No matter what, she had already gained a lot through the previous two procedures.
From rapid recovery to perfectly blending the venom with her body, all signs showed her body was adapting, much more easier than anyone anticipated.
Ariel had a strange feeling in her heart, seeing the excitent on her master's face she knew the other party must be upto sothing, sothing that could push her over the edge to take drastic turns.
Looking at her half sister, she felt a little pity in her heart. It was clear, Talia was led in by her nose but because she had trust in the organisation, she couldn't see that she was being used a s a guinea pig.
anwhile, Talia was also happy and a little excited. If she truly passed this phase she will gain imnse power but more than that, she was sure to live up her previous ntor's na, repaying her for her kindness.
Although the previous phase was dangerous and she felt a lot of pain, she endured it only having the feeling to survive and show everyone that she could do it too.
There was a little sadness in her heart when she thought about the young man. By this point, her body was already poisonous making her incapable of normal human intimacy.
Even if she wanted to she wouldn't be able to turn back now so she could only cherish those monts feeling a little grateful for the experience. At least it was better than all other Vishkanyas who never even get to experience it in their lifeti since all of them start too early!
"Just keep your mind steady. There is no need to think about success or failure, you only to think about surviving. This will be several tis worse than before." Ariel whispered few thing in her ear to which she replied with a grateful smile.
She went to change her clothes while Samara for the first ti entered the chamber which surprised Ariel.
"Master?"
"Don't co here. I changed few things in the recipes so the current vials need to be replaced." She waved her back.
Ariel rushed to the viewing deck and saw her master pull out strange coloured liquids from a container. It looked nothing like the venom that she usually deals with.
At this mont, Ariel knew her worst fear have co true!
