THE HIDDEN SECRETS[✔]

Chapter 14

"See!" Emiem showed her chart, smiling vigorously like she did a good job. What the hell!! I almost said that loudly.

"If Heil had seen your painting, he wouldn't have thought twice before committing suicide." I suppressed my lips to prevent the laughing but when I saw her pouty face I burst into laughter followed by eleven members in the hall joined with me.

"Geez!" she smiled ridiculously showing the set of her upper teeth. "It's not funny." She threw the chart on the floor then sat back on her seat.

"Listen, guys!" Heil is not like what you are thinking. He is very large even the Gorilla or Giraffe is nothing in front of him." I tried to explain the situation but they are very adamant to give them the picture of Heil like I own one.

How many times do I want to tell them that I don't exactly remember his image cause it was very dark outside when I met him though I saw him once again on the other day and took a good look at his features.

There is no use to give them a picture of Heil until to confirm whether the Heil thing is just an animal or a human.

"We simply wasted our one month and didn't figure out anything special except Heil is real and we believed that shit because you said so." Natasha shrugged her shoulders.

The first time this month she said correctly and I can't do anything against her. First I made a mistake by asking six months to give, I would have asked for more than one or two years.

How confident I was back then? Shit!! it okay, Reil. Everyone learns their lesson from their mistakes. So don't worry. It's common to make mistakes.

hmm.. yeah.

"So what? We have five more months to figure out everything." Emiem gave me thumps up smiles and I returned her the same gestures.

"Now stop fighting." Eleven pair of eyes keenly looked at me as to know what was my next plan.

"Guys!! Don't look at me like I have one in my mind." I surrendered my hands at them.

"Clara, could you please give me the collective blood samples?" I asked and she nodded her head before opening her bag and handed me a container that has a list of peoples who are living around the place along with their blood group and biography.

"Mr. Hunter's details are missing." She said nervously fidgeting her fingers. I gave her a 'what the fuck that means' look.

"I mean when I went to his cabin to collect his blood sample he was nowhere to seen and I forget to ask him." She threw me a sheepish smile.

"Is that?" I raised my eyebrows. I can sense she is hiding something.

Her shoulders slummed weakly before she whispered in my ear, "I'm sorry but I'm afraid of him. Please do this for me." She gave me her best puppy dog face.

"Okay! I will handle this." I dismissed her flashing a small smile. She usually shies around boys and I can't blame her for this. Everyone could be terrified of Mr. Hunter's attitude.

"I'm going to the lab and please don't draw any nonsense in the chart, it may use later." I walked out of the hall with the container in my hand. Once I entered the lab, I settled the container in the drawer and closed the door behind me before made my way towards Mr. Hunter's room.

Truthfully, the thought brought me a shiver down into my spine after hearing the news from my colleagues. What if he is in the same mood today? will he beat me too...I gulped down and knocked at his door.

"Come in." I heard his dark deep voice.

Masking my face as usual calm like an ocean, I entered and stood in front of his table, he all the while typing something curiously on his laptop not sparing a glance to my side.

"huhhmm." I cleared my throat to get his attention.

"What do you want?" He asked, his eyes never left the screen.

"Your blood." I blunt out. He looked at me like I said something unusual. "You sure?" he asked.

"Hmm yeah?!" I stared at him.

"Okay then." He yanked his collar to give me a better view of the valley of his neck and said, "Drink how much you want."

"W-What?" My voice shuttered. What is he thinking about me? A blood-sucking vampire or a wolf? They two are not existing anyway.

"You need my blood, right?" He asked innocently, shutting his laptop.

Arghh!!! I groaned internally. He is kidding me!!. What a sense of humor?

"No, Mr. Hunter. I mean I am here to collect your blood sample." I fidgeted my finger nervously. No wonder why she was so fucking nervous. Poor girl, she might have thought that I would force her to collect this arrogant blood sample.

"I'm Blake to you." He said making me off guard completely. Blake? From when?

"Ok--Okay, Blake." His name felt strange in my tongue. He then stretched his hand and palm up. When I gave him a confusing look he said, "Make it fast." almost so politely.

With the shivering hand I took the needle out from the small rectangular box and pressed into his index finger, blood oozed out of his finger like a waterfall and I placed a glass plate beside the flow and stored some amount of blood.

Quickly, I wiped his finger with the cotton but the blood flow doesn't stop a bit. Without thinking I brought the tip of his index finger to my mouth and sucked until the flow stopped.

He, on the other hand, shut his eyes tightly like he is controlling his beast, the vein in his neck popped visibly that sent chill to my spine.

"Thanks for cooperating with me." I gave him a genuine smile and took the note pad from my bag.

"Name?"

"Blake Hunter."

Age?"

"22."

Gender?"

"Male."

"Nationality?"

"Indian." I gave him a puzzled look. Well.. he seems not belongs to here. Maybe one of his parents was a foreigner.

"Hobby?"

"Books." I bit my lips to prevent the maniac laugh which threatening to come out when I remembered the first day of our encounter. Of course, reading books must be his hobby, what else I can expect from him after catching him red-handed.

"Okay.. Thanks, Mr--"

"It's Blake for you." He reminded me once again. "Yeah, Blake. Thank you once again." I said casually.

"Pleasure is all mine, Reil." My entire body ignited in the fire when my name rolled on his tongue like a jelly. We exchanged each other a smile before I headed out of his cabin with a pounding heart.

Moody much. I shook my head and placed all the equipment in their respective place. "What is the reason behind your smile, madam?" Rakesh, the annoying human being appeared in front of me.

"Of course it's not you." I turned back to my work. "I know.. I know. If you don't mind may I know the name?" Playfulness evidence in his voice. Huhhuhh! Why don't I play with him too? The evil thoughts occupied in my mind.

I grabbed the knife from the drawer and placed it on his throat. "One word from you, Mr. Rakesh I will slice your throat and feed the remaining body to Heil." Poor man, he might have wet his pants. The look in his face is priceless.

Not able to control my laughter I burst out and sat on the floor clutching my painful stomach. "Girl!! I thought you were serious!!" His eyes widen like a panda. I laughed and laughed until there is no energy left and stood up once I turned sober.

"You are a strong girl I have ever seen in my entire life." He complimented out of nowhere that made me furrow my brows.

"What do you mean?" I asked while arranging all the stuff in the place.

"If I were you, I would have dropped this project and ran away the next morning." He is referring to a incident that happened with Heil.

"I wish you to succeed in your project, my prayer is always for you." He patted my head like I'm a five-year-old kid, yes! at that time he kinda made me feel like that.

Everyone throwing me a pity look the moment they came to known that I was attacked by Heil. Even though It irritated me to the core I simply shook my head and cut the topic right away. I'm not the attention seeker!

"Thank you, Rakesh." I said and we both walked out of the lab. At least he forgot the topic which arose in the first place and I'm glad for that.

Atlas! Today is the best day!!! I sighed happily but my happiness didn't even last for a second when my eyes landed on the bunch of crows circling around the particular place that reminded me of the first day in Chennai. What does that mean? Another murder?
