Curse Of The Vengeful Spirit

Chapter 15: Missing Distress

Teen Girl's P.O.V

Since calculus is hard as hell, I decided to get some helping hand.

I grew impatient. Perhaps I was thinking out loud?

*Knock, Knock*

Oh, there she is.

"There you are." It's Jade.

I flashed a smile. "Man, you've got to help me at this sheets." I pulled her inside as I close the door.

I was hoping that they won't crash something above...

"So back on the math jam." Jade muttered as she scribbled the answers on my testpapers. She became suspicious as I didn't replied. "Hey, are you okay?"

I snapped my own thoughts. "Uh-um... yeah, yeah. I'm fine, Jade. I just remembered something." I lied.

Jade continued answering my testpapers eventually. Before we go and plop on the chairs beside my computer. I didn't bothered to wear my headset as we decided to play.

"Uh, don't try to play Dota by the way. It's still blocked." I warned.

Jade turned to me with a baffled look. "Huh?"

Deciding she wasn't going to buy my warnings, I opened the game and the similar message popped up as we went to find a match.

"See? I told you the servers were busted."

Jade looked down for a while then, looking back up, she seem completely confused. Truly my first expression when Shendelzare popped out of nowhere, then when the servers crashed.

"But how?" Jade asked. "How the servers crashed down without any consent?"

"I don't know either." I replied. "But something crazy is happening, I swear."

Jade nodded. "Well, at least we don't have to worry about getting our playing addictions alive." She grabbed her bag as she walked out of the door.

"I guess it is." I muttered, and I heard footsteps from the stairs, and nearing me.

"I sensed something from her..." Shendelzare said with a faint echo. "You must be careful."

I turned around to face her with a raised eyebrow. "There is nothing from her, Shendelzare. She's just a human like me, were friends and she just helped me from my assignments."

Shendelzare still had a frown present. "Still, I don't trust your friend."

I sighed. "Fine... but give it a chance somehow, dude. You'll see that she's not harming us."

Shendelzare looked greatly pissed at me, but then, a sound from the Attic made us snap our thoughts and climbed the staircase quickly.

It was Dragonus, and with a familiar scroll in his hand. Wait, that seem familiar...

I snatched the scroll from him, and to my suprise, there was the square rune etched in a black ink.

"A Teleportaion scroll?!" I blurted out loud. "Where did you find this?"

Dragonus scratched his head as he wore off his helmet, putting it on the table shelf.

"I went on breaking your proposition first..." he paused for a while. "I guess were not the only ones who were being hunted."

"Why would you say that?" I asked again.

At the second glance, Dragonus' expression got grim.

"Someone's hunting."
