17 New home

They've been traveling in the shadows for half an hour. 

After a few minutes of traveling in it, the sound of a baby wailing was quickly silenced. The baby began to touch the shadow, which he was unable to grasp with his small hands. 

He was encased in black sheets that appeared from Shadow's shadow. While they were moving, he quickly fell asleep on the shadow surface, and Ella sat down on it after feeling sore from standing for so long.

In the shadow, over half of the time has become silent. The shadow elementalist's ability to travel is quite useful Ella thought. 

They were still going despite the exhaustion shown on Shadow's Face. 

"It's here," Shadow broke the silence with a tired voice. As he said it, the shadow that had been surrounding them vanished.

They were standing in front of a door. There are two doors which can be seen on this entire floor. In the middle, there was an elevator and some stairway. It appears to be a condominium. The door in front of them is white, whereas the door directly in front of the white door is black.

Shadow picked up Ian, bending his body. Because the ground was hard and he needed to relax before utilizing his element again so he picked the baby up this way instead of picking him up with the shadow. 

His mana was nearly depleted from everything that had happened in one night. He did his best to embrace him as gently as he remembered Anna holding Ella. Because he didn't want to wake 'the cry baby Ian'. He stared at Ella and gestured to her with his eyes.

Ella swiftly grasped the situation and grabbed the white card from the pocket in her dress, placing the card on the door lock.

It slid open.

When Shadow went inside, he looked for the lights, which he found and turned on, revealing a fully furnished living room. 

In the living room, there is a floor-to-ceiling glass door with a white curtain, a white-colored sofa with a soft white carpet beneath it, and a huge screen television. There is also a lot of storage space in the entryway walls. Everything appears to be in a white motif.

He took his shoes off at the entry to the living room, while Ella didn't even have her shoes on her since she forgot about them at her old house. 

It didn't take long to inspect the new home. There are two master bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. A guest bathroom, and a joint kitchen with the living room, but there's a glass slide door in the wall, as well as another white curtain, which can be used to separate them. 

There is a television in every room. Even in the toilet. Which is quite weird.

Shadow placed Ian on a bed in one of the rooms to make the baby sleep more comfortably. He quietly shut the door to the room and walked over toElla. 

The girl was sitting on the white sofa in the living room. She already put the photo frame which is the only thing she brought from her old house on the small table in front of the sofa.

Shadow sat down on the carpet beside the sofa and slowly closed his eyes to relax. 

'Is it to regain his mana and recover from the tiredness of battling with that man in the garden which he told me before?' Ella decided to not disturb him but she had something to do so she tried to be as quiet as possible.

As she started to find the remote to the television in front of them,she couldn't find the remote to the television anywhere inside the living room. 

She gave up looking for it and simply turned it on by clicking the button on the television. 

'Will I see any of the Lumino Family's news?' She still refuses to believe her mother's words from the video in the lab.

"I told you not to disappoint me yet you have done it!" an angry voice of a man was heard in a room filled with plants and books.

It was the voice of the  blonde man with green eyes. He has seen the news about the deaths of the Lumino Family and the disappearance of the daughter of Lumino. 

In front of him was a boy who had a lighter shade of hair than the blonde man. The boy has light blue eyes.

"I saw it with my own eyes that she died, Father" the boy responded to him without fear. Beside the boy was a man with black hair and hazel eyes, First.

First started to cover the boy "Master I am sure the young master is telling the truth. There was an unexpected person who appeared where Ella Lumino was. He was a skilled shadow elementalist. Even if he got to her after we left, there's no way she could be alive till he brought her to hospital, even if he brings her to one, there would be rumo--" his words were cut with the blonde man's hand gesture.

"If I ever hear any rumor that the girl is alive you won't get away with it," the blonde man said while looking at the boy. 

He made another hand gesture saying they leave after the talk. The boy and the man left the room as they saw it without saying anything back at him.

'Don't you dare come back from death, Ella Lumino' the boy thought as he left.
