The eagle vs The red riding hood vs The wolf

"It's empty. There is none.", his restless eyes searched through that silent corner full of nothing but the bookshelves while the thoughts ensuring the report of none's presence.

"I just got worked up for nothing.", Nathan sighed with relief turning around and resting his back on the bookshelf.

"But I clearly heard the cluttering sounds and footsteps.", he fixed his clueless eyes blankly on the ceiling running his fingers through his hair.

"Did I really mistake it???", he who took a step forward to go back to his seat turned back and took one last look through that shelf to rest assure himself.

"Indeed there is no trace of anyone.", he who wasn't still ready to accept what his eyes, as well as the situation drawing as the final conclusion, walked back to his seat juggling with his thoughts and the showcasing reality.

Once he obtained his seat he immediately made sure that even any intruder trespassed his territory and peace he or she could never get to know about his diary being unusual by burning it among the books he was about to carry back to his class for self-study.

Meanwhile, Aurora who rushed to the counter of Mrs Ann to fetch another bundle of books luckily escaped the sharp gazes of the eagle who was seeking his prey to hunt down immediately.

At that same time, on the other side of the school, the evildoers were planning their next attack in the way of their getting out of the canteen.

"Hey, Lucas what's going on your mind??? I have been noticing for a while that you are behaving a bit weird", Travis who was silently observing Lucas for a while with his keen eyes tried his luck breaking the hard ice dwelling around them.

"Like???", Lucas who turned to Travis demanded an explanation with a hidden sarcasm under his tune as well as the expression while rising the edge of one of his eyebrows slightly.

"What do you mean by like???", Travis who busted out with sudden bitterness of irritation due to the touch of sarcasm that Lucas was burying responded back with the light touch of mockery with rage while continuing his statement with both curiosity and doubtfulness, "Just look at yourself. You have been absent-minded during the whole time while having that so-called lunch of yours and not only that you reached to the canteen too much later too. You barely eat anything. It was like you were there to just drag me out. Are you planning something in silence???"

"Hahaha...", Lucas evil laughter echoed around them while pushing Travis to an even harder position of guessing the actions of Lucas.

"Why are you trying to prove with your evil laughter now???", Travis whose irritation metre broke with the weird acts of Lucas full of sarcasm questioned out being too impatient and ridiculing Lucas.

"You know what, Travis, you deserve to bear the tag of being my best friend. I mean you really deserve to be my best friend. You always get my actions right even before I even act.", Lucas who almost had lost it with strange overwhelming joy dragged Travis to his side hug wrapping his hand around his shoulders and ruffling his hair, he stated out what was running in his crooked head where the next moment his jolly self drastically transformed into the hunting mode of an ugly hyena while his tune and words were sailing in the strange darkness of seriousness, "Yes, you are right. I am planning something. Actually not just something but something really big."

His sapphire blue eyes sparkled like the edges of thin sharp blades where he continued his words soaked with a weird headstrongness while his charming face was sinking in the shadow of the ugliness of wickedness, "This time I will catch two birds from one stone."

"Seems interesting. So, what is the plan???", Travis, the brother of the devil expressed his wilfulness with a chuckle overflowing his sinister wish of looting happiness by crumbling the lives of innocents.

"You will get to know that very soon. Just wait and watch.", Lucas ran his fingers through the bangs of his hair moving them backwards exposing his forehead with a chuckle burying an untold story of evil intention while he was dazzling like a top model with angelic charms in the eyes of the passer-by students.

At the same time, he who turned to Travis only to encounter his wearing an expression full of detest and eyes full of suspicion said out with a sly smile while patting his shoulder, "Stop looking at me like that. Don't worry I won't do anything without your help."

And the next moment without delaying a second he added while gradually taking steps to walk away from there, "But to keep your curiosity a bit aside let me tell you why I was late for the lunch while we will keep walking to the place where we are going to execute our plan."

Where having no option but to give in to the way of Lucas Travis sighed shrugging his shoulders helplessly tagging along with him to go, "Okay then, now that I am left with nothing but hearing your backstories to keep my boredom, keep saying."

"When I was heading to the canteen I saw that guy, Nathan. He was kind of weird. I mean He was acting so suspicious. So, I decided to follow me.", Lucas whose inner self was beaming in gladness to have Travis gave in so easily began to narrate his part of stories where Travis who was sizzling with curiosity questioned with the hidden excitement, "Then what happen??? Did you get anything to use against him???"

Lucas sighed in regret while fuming in inexpressive irritation, "Unfortunately, no. He just disappeared in the crowd of juniors as if he was swallowed up by the air. I searched him for a while then but couldn't find a trace of him. Like I said he was just puffed."

"Damn it.", Travis who was expecting a good piece of news to loot fun exclaimed in a fit of rage where the next moment he put forth his curious question full of the instinct of doubtfulness, "By the way, did he discover you before hands or something???"

Lucas who found his words somewhat considerate stated while trying to catch the clouds full of suspense surrounding him where he somewhat was continuously repeating the scene of his following suspicious Nathan again and again in the back of his mind, "I doubt that too. Otherwise, why would he disappear out of the blue??? I am damn sure he was up to something, if not why would he act so secretive???"

"You got a point. So, far I have never once seen him in the canteen during the lunch breaks.", Travis replied without wasting a bit of time while going through each and every memory of those lunchtimes at the canteen in the theatre of his mind.

"Hmm, by the way, let's forget that annoying guy for now and focus on what we are planning to do.", Lucas who didn't want to continuously talk or recall about his failed attempts to win over Nathan tried to change the direction of their conversation.

"You are right but what are we doing here, in front of the library???", Travis whose main focus was on the surroundings and the situation that Lucas was about to create, tried to find the answers to his questions while examining around with his keen eyes.

"This is where we are going to blast a bomb. Though I couldn't catch up with that guy at that time yet I got another great piece of information.", Lucas who was dazzling with the hidden excitement planted another seed of curiosity along with the blast of slight excitement in the sly mind of Travis where without any delay Travis exclaimed out with an expression full of disdain and boredom while his excitement was stroke by the thunders and lightening of gloominess, "A boring place like the library, are you sure that things will get interesting???"

"Of course, sometimes too many interesting things keep buried in the silence of such boring places so that none can find them.", Lucas replied with a smile beaming with slyness while his alluring eyes were sparkling with the glaze of wickedness narrating the story of the evilness he was harbouring.

"Now I really can't guess what you are up to…", Travis who was almost fed up with the guessing games of Lucas expressed his blank state clenching his temple tiredly where the next moment he turned to Lucas exploring his sense of guessing with both curiosity and expectation while breaking out his final conclusion, "Wait a minute, a boring place like this, have your interest… Is Aurora in there???"

"Hit the bullseye.", Lucas who was overwhelmed with joy due to the correct guess of Travis slapped the back of him with excitement while exclaiming out playfully.

"But how come she is here at this hour??? Wasn't she supposed to be in the canteen with her that extra clever overprotective friends???", Travis who was still bearing some sense of doubt yet couldn't hold his curiosity under his sleeves questioned out in one breathe while trying to digest the heavy blow of slap given by Lucas by shrugging his shoulder and trying to rub that place of his back which received the reward of his right guessing especially from Lucas.

"Yes, she was supposed to but now she isn't in the canteen and her, those bodyguards are not by her side too. The little red riding hood is all alone out there in this boring library. None is there to save her from the clutches of wolf.", Lucas whose gazes full of burning excitement that was fixed on the nameplate of the library said with a tune full of slyness as well as bearing a foxy smile while his sharp blue eyes sparkled out like the thin edges of the warrior swords where at the end he who extended his hand forward imaging Aurora as the red riding hood dancing under his spell being captive in the middle of his palm clenched his fist domineeringly with a smile filled with crookedness.

"But how comes she is there??? I mean… This…", at the same time Travis who couldn't calculate out any proper summary of what Lucas was up to, put forth his curious question hiding his sudden panic attack where later he struggled with his words filled with doubts which forced him to go to a silent mode to recalculate everything from the beginning in the hope to guess what Lucas's plan was.

"Calm down, dude. When luck is in our favour why are you being too panicked???", Lucas turned to Travis while he, himself along with his voice were dazzling in strange confidence which Travis failed to guess whether Lucas was being confident or overconfident.

As a result, he preferred to go with the flow just putting forth a slight question with the excuse of curiosity, "I am just curious. Are you sure about this that she is in there???"

"Of course, I am because when I was turning to head back to the canteen after not able to find that guy, just then I encountered Aurora with a junior girl, both of them were heading to the library.", Lucas began to narrate the untold part of the story from his memory book while the flashback of that moment was playing in the back of his mind.

"You know there are so many fans of that silly girl. One of them is our librarian, Mrs Ann. It was her who asked Aurora to meet her on short notice as she wanted some helps to gather a few books together to complete an emergency booklist.", Lucas continued his narration while the memory of his observing the whole situation inside the library from the entrance of the library while hiding himself perfectly in the crowd of students passing by there was flashing in front of his eyes.

"So, of course, our kind generous Aurora, the idol of greatness would obviously rush to help the ones in need. If it is someone dear to her, then she will rush more obviously.", he ended his storytelling where the sly smile that was curved on his lips were beaming out more of his evil intention and the pleasure of his wicked soul to get Aurora trapped in his poisonous web.

Travis who couldn't hold his burning curiosity busted out frustratedly recalling a piece of memory of his getting lost in the library the first time he entered there which cost him not entering there a second time, "But this damn library is so huge. It's like a maze. Where will we find her exact location???"

"I have arrangements for that too. Give me a moment.", Lucas said maintaining his calm pose where with a soft pat on Travis's shoulder he walked a bit away from him and took his mobile out whereas without a delay he placed a call to someone, "Hello… yeah… I am outside."

"The phone… who were you talking???", Travis who had no idea of whom Lucas was talking over the call or what he was talking exclaimed out with shock where Lucas who was already standing in front of him finishing his secret call replied with a slight smile while the calming soothing clouds were surrounding him, "You will see."

At that very moment Travis who still couldn't guess the situation sighed with exhaustion clenching his temple, "Sigh, I can't understand anything that you are up to…"

"You will soon.", Lucas said with a soft pat on the shoulder of Travis where out of the blue a sudden voice interrupted them with a tune full of joy, "Brother Lucas."
