Chapter 112 Dismembering, Really?

Lumina got up in shock, "no... no... it can't be." She pulled on her hair, some of its red strands caught in between her fingers.

Looking down at her hands, she shook them off, irritated by her action.

"I saw it happen in front of me." Fae insisted. "There's no doubt about it. I'm sorry."

"Who's the new target?" She said in a low hiss, looking back at Fae.

Fae let out a sigh, getting up, dusting her knees, and walking up to Lumina.

"Gia." She said in barely a whisper, afraid of what Lumina might do if she remembers who that might be. "I don't know if you would remem–"

Zzznn!

The gust of wind pushed into the room.

"What the hell do they want?!!!" She let out a yell in rage.

There was no way she could forget such a person, they had conversed on several occasions, and defended her a few times.

As much as she wanted to get into the organization, she had other reasons that were way different from the other students who had an interest in the prestige that came with affiliating with the organization.

"Shhh! Please Lumina," Fae begged.

She looked around them, unsure if there was anyone who could listen in on what they were discussing.

Lumina let out a deranged laugh, making Fae walk back in a bit of fear at what she was thinking.

"Don't bother, no one can listen to what we are saying, not while that door is locked." She snickered, turning around to face Fae.

"I know this is hard on you, but I want you to know, you would have your revenge." Fae tried to reason with her.

Lumina inhaled and exhaled. "Could you tell me what happened, maybe it might just be a silly assumption and nothing really is wrong with her. It might have just been exhaustion, that happens to everyone, right?" She spoke at length, biting on her finger and forcing a smile as she rambled in hope that at the very least one of her assumptions would be the right one.

Fae shook her head, as much as she wanted that to be true. She also knew the reverse was the case.

"Maybe it's best to get back there and have a look at her." She suggested.

"I... I can't." Lumina hesitated. Seeing the innocent girl lying defenseless, would only trigger memories that were best not brought up.

Wounds she had wanted to be nothing but mere words.

"I understand, but we need to hurry," Fae looked down at her fingers as she twirled the right over the left index finger.

"When I had spoken with Mrs. Neider, she had thought I was speaking with one reference in mind." She shook her head at the questioning look she had received that day in G&M class.

"We should let Nix know about this, maybe he could help." Fae pulled Lumina's hands, trying to appeal to her reason.

"No... not until we have a lead, if we tell him now, there is no assurance he wouldn't tear down all we had built," Lumina said with a dismiss of her hand.

Pacing about the room, she thought of various ways they could go about this new information.

"He's our only hope and you know that." Fae countered.

Lumina paused at the mention of the one-sentence she had been denying in her subconscious all along.

,m She had always thought it was merely a coincidence that she had met him on that day, and in the shirt that had instantly caught her attention.

"Even if he is, he's headstrong, arrogant, and mysterious. There's no way I can put my faith in him, at least not yet." Lumina replied, dropping to her knees in despair.

It had been over a few months since she had worked her way to being the best and most respected student in the academy.

Never would she believe that all that could come crashing with the mere presence of Nix who had become the golden boy of the academy overnight.

"F*ck his gift and good looks." She spat, punching the floor.

Fae had felt sympathetic all the while, watching with no way of comforting her but on the mention of her last words, her head tilted and her lips curved upwards in a smirk.

"What did you just say?" She asked with the wiggle of her brows, eager to change the mood.

Lumina's eyes widened at the recollection of what she had said and bit down on her lips in embarrassment.

"I said nothing." She replied almost too quickly.

"Of course you said nothing." Fae narrowed her eyes, folding her arms.

'So what if he's good-looking? He's still as dangerous as he is hot.' Lumia rolled her eyes at the tease.

Realizing she had dragged the tease for a little too long, she raised her hands in surrender, "alright you win, Lumina. So what's the next phase of action?"

Lumina's mood instantly darkened to the question, tiny currents began to course through her body, the more she stared at the wall while deep in thought.

"I asked a question on what we could do next, not that you should kickstart your weird and unpredictable gift." Fae immediately took several steps away from Lumina.

She could not afford to be zapped like several times she had put all her faith in Lumina that she could put her powers in control.

Lumina looked at her shoulder and chuckled, "I guess my emotions need to be calm. I had thought of different ways I could dismember whoever was in cahoots with the main problem here."

"Dismem–" Fae's eyes bulged at the extent to which she was thinking on the issue.

As much as they had been a pan in their operation. Dismembering wasn't the answer.

"How are you going to do that? With your gift?" Fae had simply joked as she chuckled right after.

"No..." Lumina shook her head, her lips in a devilish grin.
