The awakening of the Tevas

Chapter 5: Consequences

The night was dense and full of secrets. There was silence, after seeing Ana leave through the main door, Orianny had not moved. The butler was worried about the guest who was sent away by the young lady without even sharing a cup of coffee. He knew that his young mistress was quite arrogant when she wanted to be, although he was aware that in two months she had reflected small changes in behavior. She did not wake up at noon, she hugged her father and shared a calm conversation with her mother without shouting. In addition, she was distancing herself from her bodyguard as if she were afraid. Something very rare to see.

The butler's thoughts were broken when he heard the guest sigh loudly. He was about to make her leave when she stared at him, a disturbingly terrifying doll in front of him. He just stood up but it made a shiver run through his body, he began to feel overwhelmed, a cold sweat ran down his back and soaked his shirt. He thought he was going to drown but that discomfort suddenly disappeared when the sound of the cell phone reached his ears, the girl stopped looking at him to reluctantly take the call. And he breathed, he hadn't realized that she was holding her breath while looking at him.

—Hello? — Orianny replied with annoyance— I was having fun just now. What do you want, Pol?

"You're not in the mood to have fun, Ori," he said lazily into the other end of the phone. "I've been researching the time link anomalies for hours while I assume you're talking to that girl. I need to report the progress to Michael."

Orianny felt herself turn pale. Although she could afford to waste time walking around in her free time and bothering others as a hobby, she couldn't make her not-at-all-friendly leader wait. Telling her friend that the mission had failed because the girl had left was not an option that favored her in any way, apart from the fact that she had arrived late because she had taken a walk on the sidewalk of the lake, a park on the shores of a huge lake where she had decided to walk once she reached her destination. The trip from the state of Mérida had been super tedious for her and she didn't feel like starting her work immediately.

"I was just thinking about that," he lied, "but the girl got nervous with my presence. She locked herself in her room and doesn't want to come out."

The butler saw the girl begin to lie, she looked at him and gestured for him to be quiet. She bit her nails as she listened attentively to what they were saying to her.

—I hope these aren't just excuses for not doing your job—the sound of typing could be heard through the phone. —Should I tell Michael that you didn't do your job?

— Don't do that! —She said nervously— come on, keep this a secret. I'll come to an understanding with him later. —She hung up.

Orianny turned back to the butler, who hoped that this call would make the girl leave. If she was wrong, the girl did not just leave but started to climb the stairs.

—You can't go up! —he shouted.

—Don't just stand there— she said, turning to look at him, clearly frightened. —That boy, the bodyguard. He's upstairs, right? I need to talk to him.

Pol stared boredly at the screen, his partner had left him talking to himself. He had followed her since she took the car to her destination, for hours he lost sight of her and wrongly assumed that she had arranged to meet the girl from the time link to get her to safety, carrying out the investigation. How foolish of him. It took a lot of effort to sneak into the security cameras of the Bompart house , only to be met with the scene of the girl being carried upstairs by her bodyguard and then being left alone without even paying any more attention to her. He gave a big sigh at this.
