Chapter Eighteen,
How fickle minded.

"Oh, Rosanna, don't cry. I know how hurt you are. Just... forget about Bel, okay? He's just a jerk. I mean, I know you two are engaged and stuff, but just... forget about him!" Raquel said as she walked me back to my room. Sadly, Georgia was nowhere to be in sight of, probably dating Aaron.
"Oh, Raquel." I said, sobbing.
"Cheers, cheers." Raquel said with fake happiness.
"Rosanna? Are you back?" Kaori asked, as she saw Raquel.
"Oh, hello. You must be Rosanna's Acez Guardian." Raquel said, smiling to Kaori.
"Ah... Yes I am. You can see me?" she asked.
"Yep! Cause I myself have an Acez Guardian... But she's probably sleeping." Raquel said.
"Oh, why is she crying?" Kaori whispered.
"She hurt herself."
"Oh... Baka Rosanna!" Kaori said, crying too.
"Silly girl, you don't have to cry!" I said to her.
"I feel so sad for you!" She whined.
Raquel flickered two fingers at Kaori and smacked her.
"Ouch." She moaned.
"Fake tears." Raquel said.
I laughed.
"Kaori, Kaori! She's laughing!" Raquel cheered.
"Yay for Rosanna!" Kaori cheered, spinning around in the air.
"Gotta, prepare for..."
The Dark Night's alarm went off.
Raquel and I dashed towards the meeting room. Aaron, Bel and Amber were already there. The cold side of me literally took over.
"Hey Amber, Bel." I said, sitting down on the chair beside Raquel.
"Hey, Lady Rosanna." Amber sneered.
Headmistress Melinda stepped in, and we kept quiet.
"Dearest Dark Night, I've a mission for you to carry out."
"Which is?" I spoke up.
"We've found the Reactor's Japan hideout. We're sending you, our enchanters and enchantresses, also known as our school's
assassins, out to find them, and wipe them out."
"I'm okay with that." I said.
"Me too." Raquel grinned.
"Same here." Aaron said.
"All right. Amber? Bel?"
"I'm fine with that." Bel commented.
"Amber?"
She was hesitating.
"If you hesitate while fighting, you'll might as well throw away your life." I said harshly.
"Rosanna..." Bel said.
"Headmistress, where is the place you said you've found?" I asked.
"Err, the old ports near the front harbor."
"Oh? Old ports?"
"Yep."
"When do you want us to leave?" Raquel asked.
