A Land Of Secrets: ATALANTE

Act IX- Special Class

Meira's POV

After the meeting, Zeke ordered me to go to his office when everyone left the room. It's probably about my Special Class. Damn it, I don't want to go, I don't have much time. He can't absolutely find out about it... 

After waiting for a while, everyone left one by one. I had to convince Al to help me leave but he told me to do my duties and responsibilities. I haven't told him yet that Zeke became my professor for the... special class. He might tell Father about it.

I can't run away either... what should I do?

I stood in front of his office and hesitantly knocked at his door. No one replied, as if there wasn't anyone inside. I felt hopeful. He wanted me to go here then he isn't even here? Maybe he changed his mind?

I sat on one of the sofas in the lounge area and decided to wait for him to arrive. I will stay here and think of a reason why he can't be my professor in my special class.

"Ugh, I don't know what to say!" I exclaimed. Maybe I'll just say to him that I don't want him to be my professor. But that probably won't work, considering Headmaster Merlin already agreed... I don't have anyone to run to!

But now that I think about it, it felt like an eternity waiting here. I've been waiting here for who knows how long? You shouldn't let a lady wait for you! Especially a princess, a member of the royalty!

I've decided, let's get over this. Irritated, I tried to open the door and it opened. It's not locked... I guess I could just wait in here.

I opened the door and there was no sign of Zeke in the room. A living room immediately greeted me. I looked around to see a door near the fireplace. I didn't notice this, This was here the whole time?

Closing the door behind me, I headed towards the door. What could've been on the other side? Is it okay for me to enter this? Maybe it's only exclusive to the President... but there's no sign indicating that.

I don't wanna go to an unknown room... maybe just a small peek?

Opening the door, I saw a figure inside the room full of clothes. Topless, I can see his well-formed muscles, what caught my eye is his left arm is a black void spreading up to his face. As if a creature is trying to swallow it. It made my spine shiver.

"What do you think you're doing?" The familiar spine-chilling voice said. He slowly turned his face in my direction. My heart dropped when I realized it was Zeke. Shoot!

"Z-Zeke, what is that?" I asked, stuttering, pointing at his arm. I heard him sigh.

"So you saw it?" He reluctantly looked away from me. Though I can tell that he is... avoiding me. Why are you avoiding my sight? Do you want me to not see that?

The black void in his arms slowly disappeared, returning to his normal skin. But the ones on his face are still there.

"How did that happen?" I asked. It disappeared. The black void in his arms disappeared. What the? Woah!

"It's an illusion. The black void you saw earlier is my real arm." He explained. I was taken aback for a second but decided to walk toward him. "Can you go outside? Don't you see that I'm-"
