Vengeance [Complete]

Chapter 24- End of an Era

Enjoy! This is an extra sad chapter! Just for you! :)

Third POV

"I knew you'd come around." Harumi said, still maintaining her smirk.

Lloyd frowned. For the first time ever he didn't have doubts. No regrets, no nothing. He just followed Harumi's plan like a puppet. Even though the idea seemed good in his mind.

"Can we.. Wait until the morning? I .. Want to say goodbye.." Lloyd spat out. He felt like a heavy weight was lifted off of him. He felt relieved saying that.

"Why would you want to do that?" Harumi raised a brow, leaning against the wall.

Lloyd gulped. "Please, just let me." He pleaded.

"Whatever. Just make it quick and go pack your stuff." Harumi rolled her eyes. Lloyd nodded, quietly returning to his room.

He started by packing his clothes in the same backpack he had when he stayed with Jay. It was blue, of course, as it was the only spare one Jay had at the time.

He took a deep breath, then continued packing. By the time he had finished, it was already 3AM. He then remembered something important he had to do. Money. They were going to need money for food and weapons.

He thought for a bit, until he came up with an idea. He remembered his uncle wanting to open up a tea shop for some weird reason. He never questioned it, though. But he did remember him keeping some savings in a vault near the stable. He said the dragons were trained to protect, therefore it would be a good idea to hide it there.

He grabbed his backpack and exited the room, slowly making his way to the stable. All the dragons woke up once they heard his footsteps, but luckily didn't make much sound.
He went through all the pens, passing every one of the dragons. It was his second time encountering Flame and Reef, yet he could already tell their personalities.

Being originally owned by Kai and Nya's parents, they were very affectionate towards the two. Flame was more affectionate towards everyone though, compared to Reef, who seemed to be very protective of Kai and especially Nya.

He managed to look through all the pens, surprisingly finding the money in the last, empty pen.

Confused, he went closer to it, only making himself more confused. The vault was already open.

He turned around to find a smirking Harumi behind him once again. He gasped out of fear, only making her giggle.

"I guess I got here first." She said.

"Yeah.." Lloyd blushed. "I guess you did."

Lloyd, without saying anything returned back to the kitchen. That encounter was.. Strange. Almost creepy. Seeing there was nothing else to pack, he returned to his bedroom. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw Harumi wasn't there, something he'd never thought he would do.

He layed on his bed, still in his pajamas. He fell to sleep immediately once he closed his eyes. He was going to need it, after all. Tommorow was going to be a hard day.

Harumi finished searching Sensei Wu's room, only finding a cabinet full of teapots. No surprise there. She narrowed her eyes, exiting the room.

She passed through all the rooms once again. Luckily they were all empty, considering everyone was awake. Well, almost everyone.
