"Wait, what?"
"You don't know about her because your parents never told you, right?"
"I know all my cousin but I never heard about Candace."
"She's an illegitimate child, that's why they hide it from everyone in the family."
"An. . . illegitimate child?"
Diana ask the General to take a folder from their storage. After waiting for a while, he come back with a thick file and on the cover of the folder, I can see my family name.
"Is that. . "
"Yes."
"How did you get that?"
"I think you don't know one thing that makes me important and special. I'm the best intelligence that the country used to have. I have everyone's background profile in my safe and I will always update it. Now, read this."
She give me the file then I open it. Inside the folder there are a paper of a family tree. I read my ancestor's name until my grandparents until my father until me and I find Candace's name. I read that her parents are my distant aunt but her father, there's no information about his father. Beside that, her name is written in red ink.
"Why is it written in red?" I ask her,
"Because it's an illegitimate child. Their name are not allowed to be written in black ink."
"I don't understand. . . Who's her father?"
"I have no idea."
"Now, tell me. What do you want from me."
"Tell your father to send you some money to fund the mortuary for 1 month or I will inject you with some serum that can make your body freeze and you can't even move until I inject you with the anti serum."
That's so scary. I mean I can see that she's serious about that.
"Give me my phone then."
Diana take my phone from my bag then she let my hand go. I press the button then call my father.
"Father, can you send some money to me?"
"Why is it, pumpkin?"
"It's just, can you give it to me now? It's pretty urgent."
"Fine, how much?"
I look at Diana and her hand make a gesture showing '10000 Euro'.
"10.000 Euro."
"Well, maybe you can tell me why you want that much money?"
"It's just, I mean I need it for 6 months so you don't need to give me money every month."
"Very well, wait. I'll hang up the phone."
He hang up the phone then suddenly my phone rings, it's a message from my father and he give me a screenshot of his banking and it shows that he has transfer me the exact amount. Secretly, I delete my mobile bank application then I put my phone away.
"My father has transfer me some money but I don't have mobile bank app and the amount is huge. I need to go to the bank."
". . . fine. You two, take her to the bank and make sure she won't do anything to escape from us."
The twin clones nod then they take me with him to the car. They put me at the back seat and they are kinda stupid. My hands are free and I text Noah.
- Noah, I'm on my way to the bank, 'A' bank. Can you go there? The one in the city central.
And I'm so lucky that Noah immediately reply to my message.
- On my way.
The twin clone take me to the bank and we finally arrive. Both of them follow me to the counter but the bank officer told them to wait at the door. The twin watching me from a far, make sure I'm not going to run away. I take my phone and I text Noah, asking where he is.
All of sudden, I can hear someone's screaming, everyone suddenly turn around but they don't see anything. I see there's a hole on the place where the twin were standing before and beside the hole, I can see Noah. He's walking to my direction and suddenly, I can hear some girl scream when they see Noah. I immediately hug Noah when he come to my direction.
"Are you okay?" He hug me tightly,
"I'm okay. . " Then I start to cry. "Thank you for saving me."
He hug me really tight and he stroke my back. I cry while hugging him, I'm glad that he's here and he save me from Diana. I'm free from her but I'm sure that she'll be back to take me because I manage to escape from her. I can hear the girls stop screaming and they leave the bank.
He slowly let go of my body and I kiss him softly. He's my hero and I'm so happy, really happy. Then slowly I pull myself away and look at him.
"Shall we go home? But before that, can you tell me how you make that hole?"
"I have so many ability, Sera. I only throw them to the other dimension. It's not the painting dimension but it's the demon dimension."
"Demon dimension?"
"Let's go home first then I'll tell you everything."
He lead me to the main door and we head to the tram station. Luckily the tram is already there so we quickly step into the tram and the tram start to move. I take a seat at the back and I start to tell Noah everything. I keep my voice low so no one will hear me then I'm not done telling him the story when the tram stop at the suburb. We get off the tram and walk to the dorm. He lead me to my room and I sit on my bed while he take a chair and sit near my bed. I continue to tell him about Candace and about everything. I can see he look so surprised when he heard that Candace is an illegitimate child. When I finish my story, he hold my hand tightly and take a deep breath.
"Sera? It's not safe here anymore. I will find you an apartment room, one for you and one for me so I can keep my eyes on you."
"But where?"
"In the city central. My aunt is an owner of the building. I can speak to her and she'll give us 2 room."
"Alright. Thank you."
"Can I hug you before I go back to my room to talk to my aunt?"
"Sure."
He stand up then hug me. I put my arms around his body and rest my head. He feels so warm and I'm really thankful because my decision to go to my place of origin take me to Noah. I can feel Noah's face is moving closer to my ear and he whisper.
"Sera. I like you."
