Chapter 136 Take A Chill Pill

"Do you have any reason you came searching for me?" Lumina pushed Nix's hand placed on the jamb.

Closing his mouth, he nodded his head as words didn't come at the right time.

"Let's hear it." She stared at him, her green eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"It's about your friend..."

"Fae?" Lumina questioned, wanting a reaffirmation of her doubts.

He nodded his head to her question, "but I can't say it here." He pointed around the doorpost in which he was.

"Come in!" She made a flick of her hand.

"Where do you think you're going?" Nix obstructed Lank's entry.

"Take a chill pill, I am simply following Lumina. What I need to tell her is important and secretive." He said with a wink.

"Let him in, not like we did anything that would warrant suspicions." Lumina waved her hands.

'Well, I guess I thought wrong about all of these.' Lank whistled, walking in.

"Since when did you two get back together and act all lovey-dovey." He whispered with the corner of his lips as he passed by Nix.

"Who says we're lovey-dovey?" Nix hissed in response.

"A couple of days ago, you had slept in my dorm, remember?" Lank wiggled his eyebrows suggestively, "almost made me thought you were ga–"

"What the heck are you talking about, moron?!" Nix clenched his fist and gave a huge blow to his head.

Holding his head, he searched his hair with his fingers for any sign of blood, "what in the actual–"

Cross popping veins had made their way up the side of Lumina's forehead, just by watching these two.

'I'm right here you idiots, do I look invisible to you?' She rapidly tapped her feet on the floor, loud enough to get their attention.

They both stiffly turned their heads in Lumina's direction.

"He started it!" They pointed at one another accusingly.

"Would you like me to jolt your memory?" Lumina threatened, raising her right hand, a lightning bolt rose and fell onto her palm.

In a bid to sway the conversation away from the road it was bound to lead, he raised his hand, "I have the information that's of importance."

"How is Gia?" Lumina cut in, remembering the advice she had given him before leaving.

"Ccc..." He made a sound with gnashed teeth.

"What?" Lumina questioned, not accepting the cackling noise.

Shaking his head, he cleared his throat. There was something that made him feel like reporting was a big mistake, he was meant to be with them till she had recovered properly.

"It's about Fae," he managed to smoothen out his words. The need to get this over with and return was burning on strong.

"Fae?" She repeated, her anxiety level rising, remembering the task she had given her.

'Was I wrong to have left her with Mr. Gaviel?'

"What about Fae?!" She hissed, generating a static charge at the thought of losing something.

Fae would never send Lank to deliver an important message, without the urge to do so herself.

"Woah!" Lank took a step back, his back hitting Nix's chest.

"Back up!" Nix pushed Lank off him, "not like she's going to kill you or anything."

"You think?" He hissed, wondering if he had been driven by pity to carry out the request.

"What about Fae?!" She raged, walking up to him slowly.

"Ian is alive but not how you would have imagined it to be." He related. "That was what I was meant to tell you, she said it was a matter of urgency."

Lumina let out a gasp, staggering backward.

Nix rushed over to Lumina's side, assisting her to steady her weak knees.

"Who is Ian?" Lank questioned, wondering what the significance of relaying such information could do to Lumina.

From the looks of it, even Nix had a vague idea of what was going on, even his eyes widened like he had heard a ghost story, while he tried to comfort Lumina.

'Tears?!' He felt alarmed at watching the beautiful devil cry and look so pitiful.

Snff!

She drew back snot, wiping her cheeks.

Stomping her way towards the door, it opened automatically upon her proximity.

"What do you think you're doing?" Lank questioned, not wanting to believe the crazy thing she was planning on doing.

"Get out, now!" She growled.

Lank shared a glance with Nix and shrugged his shoulders.

Internally he was happy he would be able to get back to Gia in one piece.

He had merely walked past her when he felt his collar held by a tight grip, the band digging into his neck.

"I wasn't done yet!" She hissed into his ear, enjoying him choking to her action.

'What an impossible dream I had.' Lank began to regret not using his ability to dash out of the room instead.

"Lead the way." She finally said, releasing her grip on the collar.

"Why would you want to go–"

"You better do as she says," Nix nodded his head to Lumina's words. Standing behind her, but close enough to help him out when she had almost strangled him with that action.

"Sometimes I wonder if we are friends," Lank said with a suppressed laugh, massaging his neck.

"We are," Nix assured him, "but right now, I'm merely trying to save your life and help out pretty face."

'You could destroy her if you wanted to, why not do that and help me out?' Lank's eyes conveyed as much information as possible to Nix.

As if understanding what he had thought, Nix shook his head. "You don't have much patience left for your case."

Lank gulped, forcing a smile. "What are we waiting for? Let's head to the beautiful venue." He said through gritted teeth.

–––––––––––

Slam!

Lank had readied himself for explaining the reason he had done the habitual slamming of the infirmary doors to alert his presence.

"Miss?" Lank called out, an uneasy feeling building up by the silence that made the infirmary almost deafening.

Lumina and Nix shared a look, not understanding why Fae would be in such a place.

Unable to take the uneasiness he felt, he pulled away from the cubicle curtains.

"F*ck!" Lank cursed immediately he laid eyes on what was behind the curtain.
