"What the-? Why can't I use my powers?" Lona growled at him.

"Oh, I learned my mistake so I enchanted those ropes so your powers are suppressed. Now tell me!" He shouted, impatient.

"Fine! Don't be such a jerk about it." She mumbled.

"She is at-" she started but started coughing up blood.

"What the hell?" She said while staring at the mini pool of crimson liquid.

"Well, he's smart enough to do that. Oh I'm not who you all think I am. But if it makes you sleep at night, ask little Astrid about it." He whispered in Lona's ear and made her appear in her bedroom.

"What in the world is up with these secrets?" Lona mumbled and rubbed her head.

She flopped back on her back and started to go to sleep.

"I'll just ask Astrid tomorrow..." She said and drifted off to sleep.

《With Lona...

After one week of busy searching for clues of Cyrus's whereabouts, Lona was walking peacefully to the supermarket to buy some groceries. She was humming a peaceful toon and welcomed the slightly cold air in the market. She walked by a male teenager and as she looked closer, she noticed it was Nyle from school.

"Dude! It's me, Lona!" She shouted a bit and walked to him. He turned around to look at her and took off his earphones.

"Yo. So, what are you doing here?" Nyle answered and looked at her in question.

"I am shopping, duh! But the question is, why are you here?" She asked back.

"I don't really know. It's like something told me to go here for some reason." He said and shrugged.

"Yeah... How are the others doing though?" She asked awkwardly.

"They're doing fine." He said and silence got between them. They both looked around other than looking at each other.

Nyle sighed and suggested something. "Well I could help with picking out your groceries I guess."

"Sure. Follow me." Lona said and she walked in the direction of the meat section.

She watched Nyle look at some of the raw meat and tried to get her to buy some of them.

"Please? I mean, chicken breast doesn't taste like trash! Promise!" Nyle whined and kept shoving the package in her hands.

"No! I'm still getting the beef! It's suggested in the recipe! Look!" She argued and shoved the recipe paper in his face. He read it and mumbled something sounding like, 'BS'.

"Then buy both! I promise I'll pay you back!" He begged and pouted.

"Don't you dare pull that puppy dog card!" She said but he made the face.

"If you don't stop then I swear I'll pull that piercing out of your lip so fast, your lip will deflate from blood loss." She threatened and immediately he stopped and stood up and hesitantly put the meat back.

"I promise I will buy you and devour your meaty goodness." He mumbled at the meat but Lona heard him.

"C'mon! We're going to get some veggies!" She shouted while carrying the basket.

For a whole 1 hour, Nyle and Lona spent the hour either fighting, complaining, or playing around.

When Lona was done paying for the stuff, Lona joined Nyle outside.
