Arc: Level C [Continued]

April 13- Day 13E

I decided to listen in on their conversation at home. So far, nothing important or interesting was said, so Zarith and I simply laid on the couches.

Desirée was upstairs, I suppose, since I could still feel her energy here. Stylus was still at the office, and was probably gonna remain there for a few more hours.

"Well, I suppose I'll get the food together then." I hear Blair say through the phone.

Her phone remains in the same room as Kaiden and Issac as they begin to converse.

"How's school going?" I hear someone, who must've been Issac say.

"It's alright. At least it's getting better."

"Yeah?" Issac chuckles. "I heard you're getting better at using your ability."

"Mhm!"

"What's your secret, hm? Or is it that you're actually studying now?"

"Huh, what do you mean?" Kaiden exclaims as Issac begins to laugh. "How dare you."

He chuckles a couple more times before he suddenly asks, "Have you been thinking about... what I asked you?"

There a pause for a couple of seconds before Kaiden answers. "I... yes, I've been thinking about it. B-but what would Blair think?"

"Don't worry about Blair, I told you. She'll be on our side soon enough. And besides, it's the only thing left for you to do... in order to join E.A.A."

I slowly widen my eyes as I sit up then lean in closer to the phone.

"B-but can someone like me really do this?"

He sighs. "Yes. And I don't see why you can't. You told me yourself that you're getting better at using your abilities."

"Yeah, but-"

"Don't you want revenge?"

I look up at Zarith as we both exchange looks for a couple of seconds. He gets up, and sits next to me as he faces my phone.

Issac continues. "The people that killed your father. The humans. You're gonna let them get away with that?"

"H-have you done it yet? Get... revenge?"

There's a pause before we hear a chuckle turn gradually into a laugh.

"Soon, Kaiden."

"Soon."

After a couple of hours, Stylus finally enters the house. Zarith and I were simply watching tv after deciding to talk about what we heard to Stylus.

"Hey Ken," he says as he sets down his bags, and sits on the couch next to the one I was on. He then yawns. "I'm so tired."

I turn the tv volume down a bit as I respond, "Is that so?"

"Mhm... Oh, how was that meeting, by the way?"

"It was... interesting. Though there is something we need to talk about." He looks away from the tv, at looks at me. "Keep an eye on Kaiden."

"K-Kaiden? Why, what's the problem?"

"I'm not sure... But something's bound to happen with him." Stylus nods his head. "Oh, that's right. Do you know Kaiden's last name?"
