Do it alone

Dazzle leaned her head against the wall and closed her eyes tightly and cried silently. Lisa walked and sat next to Dazzle.

Dazzle noticed a presence near her but didn't want to know or speak anything. Lisa didn't speak anything too.

Dazzle who was calming herself woke up with a shock when she heard a sudden gunshot.

Dazzle looked around surprised and saw Lisa with a gun, glaring at a direction.

Dazzle looked at the place was Lisa was intensely staring.

Dazzle was shocked to see a group of men trying to carry a man who has been shot.

Before Dazzle could ask anything,

Lisa said, "They are men of the council. They saw you here and followed to kill you.

The council as passed the order to kill you at the spot. Noah went there to speak and cancel the order.

At this time, you must be safe."

Dazzle asked, "The reason for the order?"

Lisa glared and said, "Using deadly and restricted weapons on a public place."

Dazzle sighed looking away from Lisa's sharp gaze.

Lisa asked softly, "Why did you do it? What happened?"

Dazzle stared at her hands and slowly started crying. Lisa hugged Dazzle and comforted her.

Dazzle finally said what she heard from the doctor. Lisa was also so sad.

Lisa said, "Something makes me feel...Monica can be helped if we move on with our mission and learn about the magic."

Dazzle nodded and said, "We have to find the man with our fourth key."

Dazzle thought deeply for sometimes and then smiled.

Dazzle and Lisa reached their hospital room to move back to their apartments.

Dazzle can't stay at the hospital anymore. So Lisa and Dazzle along with Noah went back to their apartment.

Lisa, Noah and Dazzle planned to visit the sacred river.

Lisa and Dazzle were sitting in a nearby bench waiting for Noah who went to buy them some food.

Lisa was looking at all the three keys they had. Lisa kept all her keys nearby and started to eat with the others.

After some peaceful and calm moments in the sacred river, Lisa, Dazzle and Noah left the sacred river.

Little did they know, they dropped one of their keys on the alley during their way back to their apartment.

Noah and Lisa reached their apartment with Dazzle. Lisa said, "Let me keep our keys in the secret compartment on our shelf."

Dazzle nodded and hummed in agreement.

Lisa suddenly screamed scaring Dazzle and Noah.

Dazzle asked, "What happened?"

Lisa said as loud as she can, "I lost a key...back at the river."

Dazzle held her hair in frustration.

Noah took deep breathes and said, "Calm down. Let's rush back there...right now."

Dazzle quickly grabbed a jacket and mask, wearing them.

Lisa, Dazzle and Noah walked slowly in the dark alley.

Lisa was smirking the whole time under her mask.

Dazzle was confused but clear. Their paces slow downed once they reached a dumpster.

Dazzle said, "Do you think it worked?"

Lisa whispered, "Not yet."

Dazzle, Lisa and Noah hid behind the dumpster.

Dazzle closed her eye waiting for a noise.

After a few seconds, a loud thud echoed in the silent alley.

Lisa got up in a flash and aimed her gun at the person who fell down while Dazzle took out a fishing net and trapped the person from escaping.

Noah looked sharply at the person and asked, "Who are you?"

The person was a young man with blond hair and a bruised body.

The young man looked at the top of the building repeatedly and said,

"I am innocent. He asked me to take it. He knew you will do this.

He is..." before the young man could complete a big dagger was flung at his chest killing him at the spot.

Dazzle saw that the dagger was thrown from the top of the nearby building and rushed up.

Dazzle saw a sly guy with a familiar thin figure jumping down from the building.

Dazzle ran close the edge of the building and saw the man riding fast in his bike.

Noah said, "Our doubt is clear.

This person is always around us. He knew that we lost the key and also that we did it on purpose."

Lisa dropped the key on purpose and tied the invisible string with the key and the dumpster, tripping the young man who tried to take it.

Dazzle asked, "Did you take the key?"

Lisa nodded. Dazzle looked around hoping to find some clue.

Dazzle saw a small note.

It said, "Try your best. See you next time.

A time comes when

two aloof thing meets.

Not even a soul expects it.

But it is a goal, so hit it.

Don't foul and play with it."

Dazzle said, "This person is poetic."

Noah and Dazzle were curiously reading the poem while Lisa was shaking.

Lisa mumbled, "This note...I saw this note in...HIS HOUSE."

Lisa remembered the day when she searched David's house and found many cute poems written like a note for Dazzle by David.

"---Lisa was searching for the key in a room. She saw many love letters written by David to Dazzle.

Lisa said, "Aww...so sweet. He should have used these letters to win her heart." Lisa sighed.

She was so mesmerised by the letter written by David that she didn't hear Dazzle's scream but when she noticed Noah and KL running, she followed them.---"

Lisa said, "The same type of notes, with cute poems and ...same handwriting...No way."

Lisa started to breathe heavily while Dazzle had no idea about it.

Dazzle and the others reached their apartment.

Dazzle felt exhausted and went to sleep while Noah went to the hospital to visit Monica.

Lisa, on the other hand, was troubled by the thoughts of David's existence and the letter.

Lisa said, "This time ... I am going alone. I must meet him. I must save Dazzle who saved me. Dazzle must be safe."

Lisa looked at Dazzle who was sound asleep and walked away.

Lisa was deep in thoughts and confusions.

Lisa asked to herself, "Should I tell them and go with them or should I learn the truth and finds his intention before he hurts Dazzle?"

Lisa walked with a large step and fast pace in the silent alley at dark night.

Lisa stared at the old building, which was the place where David had all his corpse hidden.

Lisa looked for the sign of anyone living there.

To her surprise, the curtains of a room at the top floor moved aside.

Lisa looked at a covered figure looking down at her.

It sent a shiver through her spines but she gulped and started walking towards the room.
