Axiara POV
I was busy piling my clothes into my luggage when someone knocked at the door. I immediately stood up and opened it, and there I saw my loving brother Kairox wearing his sweetest smile. I welcomed him with a tight hug.
"Hey, I missed you. How was the trip?" I excitedly asked.
"It was fun. So, how things are going?" he responded.
"Good".
"Awesome. Are you done packing up your things?"
"Not yet, but this should not take a while."
"Do you need a hand in those?"
"Nah, I can manage".
"Alright, it's going to be a long drive make sure you have everything you need. We will leave in a few hours". He responded.
I looked at him and uttered "Right, of course" and went back to what I was doing.
If I had the choice I'd rather not leave. I might not have the best memory in this place but this has been my home for many years. My former school was already nice, I love it there. I do not want to be away from him either. But nah, he's been very serious about it that I had a better future elsewhere. So, I went along with it. I just hope things will work out for me just fine.
My brother was driving the car while I am seated at the backseat busy playing the horror game, Granny.
"Xia, you need to understand that Orion is not a typical school. You may encounter things or people that might not be-- you know things out of ordinary" Kairox uttered. I can sense the nervousness in his voice.
"I know, I'm not your little sister anymore. I'm a grown up woman I can take care of myself. You really need to chill." I said and fake a laugh just to throw the awkward air away.
"I'm serious, Xia." Kairox said in a serious tone.
I just nodded and rolled my eyes in agreement.
Finally, we arrived. It took us approximately 6 hours to reach our destination. I was astounded by how huge the school was. Thick high walls, golden gates, tall towering trees at least 15 meters high surrounded the entire perimeter.
"A school as secured as this is astonishing". I muttered in disbelief as I scanned the place.
I was told the school is a one stop shop community. It has its own market, mall, dormitory and even a hospital. I basically don't need to go out to buy stuff anymore - everything you need is in here. The thought made me giggle.
I was about to get inside the gate when I noticed that my brother wasn't following me. I turned and looked at him. He was standing near the car, staring at me. I looked at him with a furrowed forehead.
"Hey, are you not coming? Come on, my suitcases are heavy" I groaned.
"I can't" He said sadly.
I stared at him with a raised eyebrow, "Why not?".
"Axiara, only students are allowed inside".
"Come on, I don't think they will mind" I said, annoyed.
"Sorry, I can't. Be safe here, okay? Promise me that you will behave. I love you and I will surely miss you. I'm going to pay you a visit on the 15th or as soon as I can, alright? He added.
"I'm sorry if we have to part this way. Someday you will understand why I brought you here." A voice suddenly echoed in my head.
"D-did you say something? That's a weird thing to say." I asked confused.
