The Binding Fates SEASON 1: The Past

Chapter 27: A Traitor's Child

The school bell rang indicating it was already lunchtime. Elyse didn't hesitate to stand up and went outside the classroom to meet Eli outside the room. Eli saw she went outside her classroom and she waves her hand toward Elyse.

She smiled and went to her.

"Is Arrow and Arbor coming?" Eli shakes her head off.

"No, both of them are busy. Maybe because of the issue in the hunting Contest last time." Elyse nodded. Right, both Arrow and Arbor are Artemis's Descendant and the Hunting Contest is actually dedicated to Artemis. There's no question as to why the twins shouldn't be busy right now.

Elyse felt dejected to see the twins having trouble solving the mysterious case.

"Is it my fault?" She couldn't help but ask her. Eli looked at her staring calmly at Elyse.

She smiled and gave her a reassuring smile, "Don't worry. It's not your fault. It's our Ancestor's fault." She told Elyse while she noticed a hint of annoyance in her tone.

'Is she annoyed at me?' Elyse felt more dejected than earlier.

Eli twitched, suddenly feeling regretful about what she just said to Elyse.

"Did I say something wrong? H-hey don't be like that come on. Let's eat, I'm hungry!" She said and pulls Elyse towards her and they both started running in the hallway.

"H-hey wait a minute! —" Eli laughed.

"Isn't the feeling great? Come on, Elyse!" She said while pulling Elyse even more as they both ran in the hallway.

"Hey! No running in the hallway!" A teacher scolded them right in the hallway but Eli ignores the teacher and just giggled.

"You can't stop me, Teacher!" She boldly replied and Elyse blushed — embarrassed because they are running in the hallway while other Student's eyes are pointed at them.

But Elyse couldn't shake the happiness she felt in her heart.

'I wish this could last long.'

"Hey, haven't you heard?"

"What is it?"

"Another student in the 2nd most prestigious Academy is visiting ours."

"Oh! I heard Miss Hildegarde is coming with them."

"My, the troublesome lady is coming here. What to do?"

"Should we just kick her out?" A girl giggles.

"Oh! That's a great idea!" The girl beside them giggled too as every girl snickered when they remembered the girl named Miss Hildegarde.

Chad spoke with his squeaky and girly voice copying other female students' voices while everyone sat down in their own seats inside the Student Council office. Raymond sitting in his seat as the President and Luna sitting on the couch with Dain, Kai, and Eli.

Both Arrow and Arbor are sitting on the window sill while Elyse standing behind Raymond.

He's been copying everyone's gossip and conversations for the whole meeting. Everyone only glares at him as if it's not even funny to joke about.

"Chad will you please stop annoying us?" Chad only smiles at them with his usual innocent face.

"Hmm? What's that? Do you want to hear more? Sure!" Chad was about to say something when Eli stood up, annoyed to hear another conversation that he's been copying once more.
