Arc: Level C [Continued]

April 11-  Day 11B

As Blair continues to shake, she fails to answer my question. She completely disregards the papers on the ground as she slowly crawls away from me.

I sigh. "Are you going to answer my question?"

"P-please don't kill me!" she screams as her voice cracks. "Please... I- I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry-"

"Can you shut up?" I glare. She jolts and quickly looks down to the floor as she continues to shiver. I smirk. "Now that's better, isn't it?" I begin chuckling. "This is a completely different personality I got out of you, don't you think?"

She doesn't answer as she continues to look down. Tears slowly begin to fall as well, though she quickly wipes them away. "These documents that are on the floor," I begin to say after a few seconds of silence. "What is it that you're doing? You seem quite suspicious, sneaking around and going into the basement like that." She stays silent, though most likely due to fear rather than disobedience.

    "Hm....," I whisper. "Interesting. Are you perhaps betraying your own group, Blair?"

    I suddenly feel an energy appear beside me. Looking to the side, I see Tairen with another person hiding behind him.

    "Oh...?" I say to myself as I look at the guy behind him. Orange hair and orange eyes. "A teleportation user... as a level S?" I whisper. I've never seen a teleportation user that high of a level. It's just not the type of ability that is easy to have a high potential in. "Hey, you behind Tairen," I call out causing him to further hide behind him. "Your ability.... It's quite impressive for you to be at that level."

    He looks at me with a surprised expression. As if he didn't expect me to say such a thing. But now with my mask off, he knows my face... which hopefully won't end up being a problem.

    "You seem quite friendly with us," Tairen suddenly jumps in.

    "I'm not talking to you." I glare at him. "That's why."

    "Well either way, I think we'll end up working together-"

    "You must be kidding," I interject as scoff.

    He looks at me for a couple of seconds before he sighs. "Look at those documents on the floor." He points to them.

    I turn around as Blair remains in her place. As I reach down to pick up the papers, she slightly jolts, watching my movements.

    Once I pick up a couple of pages, I begin flipping through them.

    "Everything in there is the information Blair managed to gather about this level C group," Tairen continues to explain.

    "So Blair is finding out information against this group.... why?" I glance up at him.

    "Well, she's more acquainted with everyone in this group more than me. She knows who may be apart of the E.A.A." He smirks as my eyes widen.

    "Oh?" I scoff. "So how do I know you aren't apart of this group?"

    "I'd tell you that I'm not, but it's not like you'll believe me. And I'm the least of your worries, at least for now."
