Chapter 82 The Short End
Eric and the others had finally defeated the boy with black hair and blue eyes, it took a lot more time than they had thought it would.
They ran to the bathroom, where they had last seen Adam.
Opening the door to the bathroom, they gasp collectively, horrified.
Adam was sprawled on the bathroom floor, blood could be seen everywhere tainting the bathroom floor.
Seeing the various wounds on his body, all of them rush into the bathroom and start panicking collectively.
" Katherine....call for help.", Max said looking calm on the outside.
"There's too much blood...", Emilia said covering her mouth with her hand.
What they didn't know was that most of the blood belonged to the cloaked man...
" MWAAAAAA!"
" MWAAAAA!!"
Crying of two animals resounded throughout the small bathroom confusing everyone.
Eric heads toward the stall farthest from the toilet and opens it.
" Ughh....guys....we have a situation.", he said with a perplexed look on his face.

I don't want to open my eyes.
Everything hurts...even my precious jewels.
I regained my consciousness some time ago and I have no idea what happened while I was down. It was as if I had given someone else the reins to my body.
The boy [ guide] refused to elaborate on my situation, but he did tell me how to resolve it and it seems that the boy's technique worked since it seems that I'm back in control.
I have many theories as to 'who' exactly took control of me but I can think more about that later now....I have to deal with the aftermath of whatever '0', that's my name for the person, did.
The hand which hadn't left mine since the time I woke up shifts uncomfortably.
I'm going to open my eyes now...
As I slowly open my eyes, the bright light inside whatever room I was in blinds me and as my eyes adjust to the light I become aware of a small weight on my stomach...I hadn't noticed it since the weight was almost non-existent.
I look down my body to find two baby panthers lying on top of me, they were snuggled up together and sleeping peacefully.
I entirely forgot about their existence...but I suppose I'm glad they're alive now.
" Adam ?"
I look to my side to find a dazed Lecia.
Aww...she stayed by my side...that's nice.
" You finally woke up.." Eric says from a corner of the hospital room [I think ?]
Oh....they're all here.
Eric and the others were all present in the room as well, they sat on a table in a corner of the room and I could see some cards on the table...so they were probably playing something.
They all get up and surround me, with awkward smiles on their faces.
Why do they all look so uncomfortable ?
Ignoring them, I ask Lecia
" How long have I been out ?"
Lecia has the same forced smile on her face when she answers back,
" It's been three days.."
Hmmm....three days isn't that bad...
I thought that Lecia would freak out or something...but she isn't....
Something's terribly wrong.
" What's wrong ?", I ask Lecia worried.
" Well you go-OW !", Max started to speak but Emilia pinches him.
" The doctor said to break the news gentl----", she whispered to Max...but I have very good hearing.
What kind of news is it ?
For everyone to be so tense....it must be pretty bad.
'Gulp'
I gulp in all the saliva inside my now dry mouth and ask her again,
" What's wrong ?"
" Well you g-...it's better that you see it for yourself...", saying this Lecia nods her head at Emilia who brings a long mirror that had wheels at it's end.
Emilia stops it before me and smiles at me with pity in her eyes, but I don't notice this as I was stunned by what I saw in the mirror....
Just....how....how was this possible !!
