Becky looked at Rivera. When the other girls teased her about Lyeon, Rivera was trying hard to avoid the question but Becky can see clearly in Rivera's eyes on how much she likes that man.
Becky scoffed quietly. She started to get irritated but Becky didn't know the reason. Her heart starts to feel a weird yet stinging feeling and it makes Becky feel very uncomfortable.
That jerk, he was flirting with me but he actually ignored my friends?
Didn't he know that Rivera like him too?
Or does he know but choose to ignore her?
I don't have any feelings for that old man… So should I just let Rivera take him? Besides, it would give me a burden at the end of our mission. I don't want to be entangled with the depression feelings when I have to leave someone I love here.
I better avoid all that problem before it causes me trouble….
Fine.. Let Rivera take Lyeon.
He has nothing to do with me anyway…
"What are you thinking about, Becky? You look quiet, not like your usual teasing side," said Bambam while she looked at Becky who was still quiet beside her.
Usually, Becky would also teased Rivera back and would laugh out loudly when they succeeded to teased Rivera but now, she looks somehow… Upset..
Did something make her upset?
"I was thinking, will Dee tell Dale about our identity? Because we also need to tell them at the end of our mission, right?" asked Becky. Fiuh, I'm safe… Bambam almost caught me. If I don't find another excuse, they might find out that I was thinking about Lyeon.
Wait~~ why should I think about him?
Oh, they almost forgot about that one…
This time, everyone's attention once again back to Dee.
"I won't tell him. For the time being, I will keep our identity as a secret. I don't want him to think anything weird about us," said Dee with a deep sigh.
"Are you sure you won't tell him?" asked Chellyne.
"Yes, I am sure." "... Besides, our relationship is just starting. I don't want to know what his reaction is when he knows our identity. I don't want him to be so shocked about this and I don't want anything to happen to him," said Dee.
"You really love him that much, huh? Fine… It is your choice to not tell him or not… but we don't want anything to happen to you either. Don't let him hurt you. If I know something happened to you because of him… We all will not let him go easily," said Becky with a warning.
"I understand your attention, Becky. Thank you for watching me out, but I will be okay," said Dee. She was very happy to have friends like them who were supportive and understanding.
"Then, can we go back to bed now, please? I feel so sleepy!" said Nic.
Everyone giggled at Nic.
"Yes, let's get back to our room. We will talk about this again later," said Bambam.
Everyone then walked out from Dee's room and walked back to their own room.
When Becky wants to get inside her room, suddenly she smells a weird yet unknown scent. Becky stopped from opening her room door and she looked around her.
"What the hell is this scent? This is not from this Castle. It was an outsider's scent.. But who dared to come here in the middle of night?" said Becky with a low voice.
Becky walked to Bambam's room who was just next door to her. She knocked softly on Bambam's door and soon enough, Bambam's head peeked out from the door.
It was clear that Bambam was already lying on the bed because she was looking at Becky with her sleepy eyes.
"What?" asked Bambam.
"We have an intruder. I can smell a strange scent but it was not from here…"
When Becky said that, Bambam's eyes opened wide and the feeling of sleepiness is now gone. She opened the door wide enough for her to walk out and she whispered, "Where?"
"He was outside!"
"Wow, you can tell that the owner's scent belonged to a man?" asked Bambam.
"Yes, I can tell it by smelling it from its scent…"
"Now, follow me. Quick!" Becky quickly grabbed Bambam's hand and they quietly walked downstairs. Since the Hunters inside the building are going to sleep, the maid changes all the lamps to dim and small lamps. Only enough for the corridor to be lightened from the light…
Becky stopped and Bambam also stopped.
Becky started sniffing for something. "There are two of them out there!" said Becky.
"Two? Are they strong?" asked Bambam again.
"I'm not sure!"
"What are we gonna do now? We have no time to wake everyone up?" asked Bambam.
Becky sighed in a depressed voice. "I also don't know what to do!"
"Or let us just watch who is outside there," said Bambam.
"Are you crazy? What if they set a trap for us?" said Becky worriedly.
"Set trap? In this Castle? You must be kidding!" said Bambam.
"Wait---"
Becky suddenly pulled Bambam's arm and they quickly hid behind the sofa.
A few moments later, a voice of step heard in the living room, where Becky and Bambam were hiding. The footsteps stop right at the living room for a 10 minutes before the owner then walked upstairs again.
Bambam and Becky wait for a little longer before they walked out from the sofa. They look at their surrounding and there is no one in there anymore.
"Who was that?" asked Bambam.
"I don't know. But I don't think we will be safe if that person know that we are here," Becky said as she walked near the large window. She hide behind the curtain and look outside.
Bambam also follow her movement as she also look to the outside. Far outside the gate, Bambam could see a black figure was sitting on the branch on the tree outside the Caspian Castle.
"You're right, there is someone outside," said Bambam.
"Where?" asked Becky while she look to the surround. "Where, I can't see anything!"
"There, over there! On the tree!!"
"I didn't saw anything!"
"It just right over there!"
Bambam focused more on the figure but just when she blinked for a second, the figure is already gone. "Oh, he's gone!"
Becky look at Bambam with a confused face. She then look outside of the window again and try to smell the unknown person's scent. "You're right. He's gone!"
"But why I can't see him?"
Bambam look at Becky with another confused face too. "Don't kidding me, he was just right over there, on the tree and was watching here."
"I could only see that tree and darkness.. Nothing else. What do you expect for me to see more? I could only sense him by his scent… But I couldn't see him there…."
Bambam turned quiet for a while and thinking about what Becky just says. She said she only could smell by their scent. While I can see that person but Becky couldn't… Does this mean…
"Don't tell me you can see f.u.c.k.i.n.g far away than normal people can see?" asked Becky suddenly as she turned her head around to look at Bambam.
Bambam showed Becky her gummy smile. "Maybe… I don't know anything…."
"You must be possessed the talent to be able to see things from far away. You have a sharp sight.. While me, I have a sharp smelling sense… Wuu, that is great. We should tell the others about this!" said Becky excitedly.
"Yeah, we can tell them later… But let's go to sleep for now… I am very sleepy, you know!" said Bambam. She closed her mouth using her hand when she started to yawned.
Poor Bambam. Maybe right now she was already sleeping on the couch but Becky woke her up just because there was unknown person outside the Caspian Castle.
"Yeah, you're right. Maybe we should go to sleep and let's talk about this tomorrow," Becky said.
Bambam and Becky then walked to upstairs and get into their own room.
Without them realising, there was someone watching them from distance. This person is Jina. She walked out from the dark into the light shadow. Jina look at the upstair where Bambam and Becky went.
Slowly, a weird and excruciating smile appeared on her lips.
