Lost Cause

16: Roller Coaster

3rd Person's POV

"Miss Cecilia, is this true?"

Cecilia remained calm and finally sighed, "It's true." She said.

A man named Theodore was pissed and clenched his fist.

"For your own sake, you better have a fucking good reason why you didn't tell us!" He shouted.

"Hmmm, let me think... Oh— yeah I forgot, my bad." Cecilia replied which shook and confused the professors.

"You bitch!" Theodore yelled and attacked Cecilia, however, Professor Iris covered Theodore's way with her power. A huge wing of a bat came out of Iris back which caused Theodore to stop his attack.  

"Theodore, stop! Control your temper, we are not here to fight." Iris said.

"Tsk!" He replied and fixed his composure.

"Forgot? But you never forget anything. What is going on Cecilia?" Aries asked once again.

"... You were just about to attack me earlier. Only if Mr. Theodor apologize for threatening me, then I will tell the truth." Cecilia replied and glanced at him sharply.

"This bitch is really something. I am not apologizing for I will leave this room! Y'all do what ever you want but I am not about to follow this woman's orders!" He shouted and stormed out of the room, slamming the door.

"We are very sorry about Mr. Theodore's behavior. Please... just tell us the truth." Iris mentioned.

"*sigh* Fine... But I really did forget." Cecilia said.

"But here me out." She added.

"Okay, explain yourself." Aries replied.

"Remember when there was that mysterious light around the school, and none of you could figure out where it came from? Well, at that moment, I felt danger on the campus and planned to inform you immediately. But on my way to the office, I saw two girls in the garden of Lady Anastasia. One of them looked like she was in pain. I was about to help her, but her friend rushed over and carried her inside the campus."

"I looked inside the garden to search what gave that girl the pain, but instead..." Cecilia explained and looked at Aries. This made Aries feel uneasy towards Cecilia.

"I found out even more interesting things." Cecilia continued.

"What did you found out?" A professor named Sylvia asked her.

"That the girl... who was in pain... made a big, big, big mistake." Cecilia replied playfully while tilting her head side by side.

Aries started to feel nervous since she knew she was talking about Luer. She doesn't have plans on letting them know and therefore have no reasons in her mind.

"How does this connect to you forgetting to remind us? Stop twisting your answer!" Aries demanded as she tries to not let anyone know that the light came from Luer.

"I agree." Iris said

"I have point, I promise." Cecilia replied calmly

"Let's listen to her." Sylvia told them

Aries palm went cold and started sweating

"I have a theory, can't you feel it? Each passing time, our ability is starting to disappear." Cecilia answered.

"Are you blaming a student from your actions?" Another professor named Naomi raised her voice to Cecilia. 

Cecilia remained unbothered while the room feels heavier.
