Chapter 80 - Seventy-Nine: SA?

Emily looked away immediately, not wanting to lose herself in those familiar eyes.

She should have known. He had the same aura as him, the same voice as him, and the same eyes as him.

She had no idea why it took her so long to recognize him. 

She once again looked up at those icy eyes that were looking right back at her and suddenly it appeared like he too was aware that she had recognized him.

It was Simon's hand on her elbow that broke her train of thoughts as she finally left diverted her attention from those beautiful eyes and she turned her attention towards her brother.

"Are you alright, Emmy?" He asked as he looked at the pen that she was holding in her hands.

Emily slowly nodded her head as she retracted her hands inside the blazer that was still draped over her shoulders.

"That's good then." He said as he pulled his hand away.

"What you just did, I hope you will be the one to take care of that in the future. Since you have made such a promise, I hope you will be prepared to fulfill it." Domenic told Kaiden as he let his intense gaze fell on the young man.

Kaiden's behavior was starting to confuse him, especially his behavior towards Emily.

It was true that since Rylan had become Emily's guardian spirit then the Sullivans would never hurt her.

Even though one day the Alessandros and Sullivans would be on the verge of war, the guardian angel mark would never let Rylan or anyone from his family hurt Emily.

But protecting her was a different matter and the way Kaiden had been observing his little sister throughout the meeting was a completely different matter.

It was like he was missing something important that was clearly laid in open for him to recognize.

However, even after two long hours of observation, he failed in putting his finger on what was the young CEO of Silver Enterprise was hiding from them.

"Don't worry. I'm well aware and prepared for it. Let's reveal the final decision that we came upon. Just like you said, If Emily agrees then we can end this meeting here today." Kaiden replied as he watched the curious look that took over the girl's mesmerizing eyes.

Emily stayed completely silent this time even when she was bubbling up with questions. The only reason for her patience was the fact that even though they already came to a decision they cared enough about her to find out if she was okay with their decision or not.

It made her feel cared for and also respected. She wanted to give her brothers a tight hug but seeing the situation she just decided to keep it for later. 

"Emily, you remember about the guy who saved you last night and who was supposed to belong to some SA?" Sam asked her in a serious voice.

It took all her self-control to not look at Kaiden when Sam mentioned her savior. She slowly nodded her head as her curiosity was picked even more.

Were they going to reveal that Kaiden was her savior and that SA was another name of the Sullivans?

The thought made a small twitch appeared on her lips.

"Well, as you know that the City is divided into two parts. One belongs to the Sullivans and the other belongs to your family and one of your close family friends. The people from both parts are restricted from entering into the other part of the city. But have you ever thought why both you and Rylan can go to the same high school without breaking any rule?"

The question made Emily stare at Sam in bewilderment. The thought never occurred to her.

Well, it was not like she was aware of this 'parts of the city, rules and all' thing before a day ago.

And even when she became aware of it, she did not have that much time to ponder on such things.

Her mind was too occupied with the questions that were already filling her brain to the brim.

There was barely any space left for new questions.

"Is the high school located in some kind of neutral ground of something?" She asked with an unsure tone.

Sam nodded his head as replied, "You are right. Between the Northern and Southern parts of the city, there's neutral ground. The area of the forest where we found you yesterday night, the high school, this club, the Kitten cafe, the Cloud Nine Restaurant, the Almora Hospital, and the building of SA, are the ones located in the neutral zone. Meaning that the people from both parts of the city can come here and that neither of the three families rules here."

This was a piece of huge news for Emily. She was actually proud of the person who came up with the idea of creating this neutral ground between the two parts of the city.

Then her brain caught the mention of that word again and she hurriedly asked, "What exactly is that SA?"

"It's the Supernatural Academy." It was Rylan who replied to her question.

"A Supernatural Academy?" She asked as more questions started popping up in her brain.

"Right. What we learn in schools and universities is not really that useful for supernatural beings. Of course, the knowledge that we gain from human schools is important at their own level but as a supernatural, we need to learn about many other things too. The Supernatural Academy was founded with the hope that it can provide people with the right knowledge about supernaturals and their world." 

Of course, Emily did not miss the 'we' that Sam used here. But for some reason, she was not afraid of the young doctor, probably because other than saving her life ever since they first met, Sam had never done anything that would make her dislike him.

"But why built the Supernatural Academy on the neutral grounds? I mean, won't it be better if it was built in their part of the city?" She found herself asking.

"The reason for building the supernatural academy on the neutral grounds was the fact that supernaturals are not the only one who attend the Academy. Human goes there too."
