32 32. Out for more answers

He left me alone after we stepped out from his portal. More precisely, I was too stubborn and asked him to leave me alone. Considering the current predicament he's in, walking with him might just gain me more enemy rather than allies. Right now, I need to collect more answers and get all the pieces to form a strategy. A strategy where I can end that Queen of Dark, bagged the higher ups of Reryks as my allies, and keep my so called 'past husband' from his fool rampage.

Meh. Not much compared to when i had to do when i was still working as Winston's Assistant. Though, i doubt it is not nearly life threatening as what am I going through right now.

"What should i do next?" i mumbled. I look around the whole city, wearing a mask.

Before we parted, Kai had produced something out of thin air.

"i want to go back to the city"

"I thought you are running away right now?"

"I am which i need something to disguise myself so they wouldn't notice and chased me."

He narrowed his eyes.

"And may i know who are chasing you exactly?" Oh, it was not that hard to read that cold, murderous glint on his sharp eyes. You can even feel the atmosphere sickeningly dense with power that make you hard to breathe. I chose to bite my lips and shut it. Remembering how this guy would bring down unimaginable terror on his enemies, i am not about to disclose the information about that and lose my potential allies. i had a feeling Mr. Cat held quite a lot of knowledge about the otherworld on this side. And i need that information, badly.

He sighed, seeing me ignoring his question. it was then he took out something out, that resemble a mask.

"Use this. This will change your countenance and voice. It will also mask your energy and scent." i raised my eyebrow in surprised as i gaze the mask. The mask look like a clear crystal, smooth and shiny and i really doubt it could do what he said it would. i didn't know thing like this exist in this world. But then again, what do i know?

"Put it on and imagine what look do you want" he nodded when i took the mask. I hesitantly put it on and set the image that i want inside my mind. For a moment there, i felt something tightening on my face skin. It was quite weird experience, really. as if the mask just seep inside the pore of my skin and start massaging my face to my neck. It made my skin crawl, like there's something slithering on my skin. It was no where painful. It simply... made me feel uncomfortable. I clenched my teeth and let it settle.

"It is done." He smile and nodded with satisfaction.

"Interesting pick, by the way." He added, i rolled my eyes. if it is exactly how i imagines, my eyes should be dark green with a short wavy caramel brown hair, a small mole on my lower left eye. Roman nose, and sharp cheekbones with slight square jaw. A french like-woman.

"qu'est-ce que tu dis cher?" -What are you saying, dear?- i said in french, changing my attitude into flirtatious one. He raised his eyebrow in amusement.

"tu es belle"-you are beautiful- he replied, as though he had lived most of his life in french. That had caught me in surprise.

Definitely, sexy.
