CHAPTER 20

THE STUDY

"Why didn't you told me about it before?? Clein asked.

"I didn't know it was something important. You know Clein you are really my lucky charm!  If you weren't such a nerd back in school I will not be able to fish this kind of opportunity! So lets live peacefuly in the North okay?" Francine laughed. She was really excited. After the depressing event on her family, she can finally breath a fresh air in a new invironment, in a place where no one knew her far from judgmental eyes.

"Truth be told, I'm kind of interested on your research. It's like discovering something we are not aware of, like a new world" Clein said honestly. Francine said that it was about those people who can tell the future. She could noylt help but ti think bout what she dreamed.

"That's what I'm telling you all this time! haha see? see? I'm giving my all for my first project!" Francine can't hide her excitement.

"But I'm also worried. What if those oculus people will find out that you guys are researching about them? What if..."

"Haist Clein. That's what it makes more exciting!" Clein sigh. Now Francine has her dose of medicine. Maybe its a perfect distraction for what happened recently.

"Okay hold your horses young lady! I want you to calm down. Last thing I want see is that you are asking random people about those oculus"

"haha You are exagerrating Clein, now I want you to see this. These are the people who we suspect are Zellens and abducted before." Francine hand over a paper that contains pictures and names.

"Wait all of these are women. They were looking for women?" Clein noticed.

"I know right and look all of them are blond. A shade deeper and you are one of them Clein hahaha" True. Clein was blond but its a shade deeper just like her dad Tauren.Clein's hair can be consider a red.

"Uhm maybe a blond is a trend?" The two of them laughed hard. at the last page Clein was surprise to see a picture of a lady that look like her mother except the burn on her left cheek.

"Muriel Austrid Fence" Celin mumbled.

"Oh yes. She's the last one we consider as Zellen, but its not confirmed because she was kidnapped as a kid and died at the hands of her kidnapper. It was not really consider missing right? A lot of people saw the funeral"  Now Clein's heartbeat fast. Why was she nervous?

And Clein notice a mole on the girls face
As she remember, her mother do not have a mole on her face. Maybe she just look like her mother? Clein heart calm in an instant. She kneew very well that her mother do not have mole and most importantly she was not blond. Her mother was brunette.

"You said that they were random right? So their ability as you said was not inhereted?" Clein asked in random.

"You are so brilliant! Yes Clein we also conclude that the ability do not passed on children because they do not have relationship towards each other." Francine confidently said.

"You are just like sherlock holmes." Clein just let go of the idea. It's impossible to connect her mother with those people.

"Hm can I keep this picture?" Clein asked. She wanted to keep it. Her father hide all the pictures of her mother. He said that it was easier to ease the pain. Without any question Clein amd just agreed. Truthfuly it helped but she cannot forget the face of her mother.

"Sure! I have a copy of it in my hard drive. I just printed it for my own obsession hahaha"

"Have you setteled already? I can get Allen to help you" Clein offered. She knows that the financial situation of Francine's family is a bit tight right now knowing that most of their business partners loose trust on their family. Her brother was currently taking care of the circumstances.

Clein was glad that Francine was not that affected or she was just faking it.

"I envy you Clein, your husband is pretty detailed you know. When he knew that I'll be transfering with you, he immediatetly ask my brother on the details. He even put us on the same dormitory in the university" Though the scene was a bit awkward Allen and Francine's brother tried to calm the internal war between them and settle down for an arrangement.

"Dormitory? I'll be on dormitory during my university?" Clein was surprise. She didn't know that Allen was this considerate but Clein was very wrong in that area.

"Ahaha so you expect to be with Allen all the time? It's not so you Clein. Tell me what did Allen feed you to be this clingy to him?" Francine chuckeld.

"What are you saying? I didn't mean that"

"Don't worry Clein. Allen want you to return home every after class. He was just preparing a place for you inside the university incase you'll be busy with exams or projects, he said it will tire you more to have a long drive just to return home. Oh Clien, Allen was a sweetheart! Who would expect that you will mary first before I do?" Clein blushed so much that make Francine laugh hard.

"Shut up Francine! So what will you do with your current boyfriend since you'll be transfering?" Clein knows that Francine has a boryfriend it's pitty she didn't get the chance to meet that man.

"oh geez, you know I'm not serious with any of them. What now? I'll be tartgeting some Northeian boys for a change." Francine said cooly. This is what Clein knows. Francine was really not serious when it comes to relationship.
