Cali’s Pov:
The message left me speechless as I gawped at it.
What does this mean? What darkness is he talking about?
Just then, I heard footsteps and quickly stepped away from the table, making sure I backed the entrance.
I felt him walk in from the balcony and as I backed him, I felt my heart beating rapidly.
“You’re done?” He asked from behind and came closer to me and I just nodded.
Soon, he was standing very close to me and wrapped his hand around my waist.
I twitched.
“Why’re you just standing, huh? Shouldn’t you get dressed?” He asked whisperingly, making me feel his cold breath on my neck.
“I….I just came out of the shower. I’ll….I’ll get dressed right away” I gulped nervously and said,then tried walking away.
He gripped me back by the wrist and made me face him.
“Is there a problem?” He asked, touching my face and making me have a glimpse of his super cute face.
Maybe I should tell him about it. Right?
No;
What if he gets mad at me for reading the message?
“I’m…I’m fine. Of course” I replied and added a smile to sound more convincing.
“Okay then. Hurry up and get dressed” he pecked my hair before releasing me and I went straight to the wardrobe.
*
I took out something nice and thankfully, he faced the window as I dressed up.
*
I packed my hair in a fine ponytail and when I was done, I followed him out of the room, down to the garage where his car was parked.
We got in and he zoomed off afterwards.
*
The drive was kinda silent as we didn’t talk much to each other.
Well, you know him. He was the quiet type and considering my condition at that moment, I also couldn’t talk much.
After a long ride, we arrived at an eatery and he held my hand as we walked in.
“What’re your orders, please?” A waitress walked up to us and asked as soon as we were seated comfortably.
I looked at Miquel, like I was awaiting his reply, but he signalled me to go on first.
“Um…..I think I’d go with the beef stew” I replied and she scribbled it down in her notebook.
“And you, sir?” She turned politely to Miquel who sighed and went through the menu on the table.
“Just get me some fish” he replied and she nodded and left.

“Did your name pop up on the list of people going on the next mission?” He asked after a while and I nodded, while chewing on a meat.
“My gift was among. They needed a banshee” I further explained.
The mission was actually a day after tomorrow.
Less than 48 hours.
“You won’t be going” I suddenly heard him say and flinched.
Huh? What’s he talking about?
“I…..I don’t understand. I won’t be going? How? I mean, why?” I asked, confused and he sighed.
“Its for your own benefit, Cali. I have my reasons” he answered casually and continued eating.
But….why would he want me to stay back? I mean, what would he tell the directors, then?
What’re his reasons?

We didn’t say any other thing until we were done eating and after settling the bills, we left.
He held my hand and asked for a little walk down the street and of course, i obliged.
“Need some ice cream?” He asked when we’d gotten to an ice cream kiosk and I nodded.
He bought one for me and one for himself and we continued walking.
“If you have a problem, Cali; you’re free to let me know” he mentioned and I bit my lip.
Should I ask him about it?
I suddenly felt scared, knowing the darkness in his heart could kill me or something. What darkness could that be?
“I…..I…I really don’t have anything to say, Miquel. I’m just…..” I paused and sighed.
“I’m fine”.
He stopped walking and I did same.
Then, he stood, facing me and stroke my hair with his palm.
He didn’t say a word but just stared into my eyes for a long time and finally released an uncanny smile.

Miquel’s Pov:
That silence….I could tell.
She’d gone through the message.
That animal – Mykel.
How dare he? I was definitely gonna make him pay for it.
Perhaps, it’s time I explained everything to Cali.
I turned away from her and was about walking away when I spotted them across the road.
A particular set of people – clustered like they were waiting for a cab or something. But their eyes were fixed on me –
Yes, on me.
I could recognize them from anywhere.
Any part of the world.
The coordinates…..
They found me!
