98 Defenceless John (2/2)
And I needed to make a living
”Exploring the world... So that's how you met Serena and Ariel?”
Well sort of...
”Well me and Ariel became adventurers at the same time, and for serena We met while we were travelling.”
”Must be nice...” She muttered
”Hmm... I want to show you something, but you have to promise to keep it a secret.” I said as I grabbed on to her hand
”Okay, I promise. But what are you-
Before she could finish, I placed my finger on her lips and gestured her to be quiet, with flushed red cheeks she quickly nodded and I started fake chanting, I had also cast Silentium at the same time.
When the chant was finished, I muttered, ”Furtim”
From our perspective, nothing had changed and we could still see each other but from another person's perspective...
”Hmm... their presence disappeared...” Said the head maid as she entered
She looked around the room and confirmed that there was no one here
”Hm, If she's with him, they should be fine, and besides, it works in favour of the plan.” Said Kurt
”Understood” Said the maid before leaving the room and closing the door
Eleanor opened her mouth to say something, but was surprised no sound came out. Seeing this I pointed at the window while gesturing that we should leave
Not being able to speak, she nodded.
We walked up to the window and opened it, at the same time, The door to the room opened once again
It was the maid, she looked around the room once more as if trying to confirm something
”I don't remember the windows being open, earlier. Young miss are you here?” She asked as she walked up to the window
As there was no response, she looked outside of the window, but no trace of either of us could be found.
She closed the windows and left the room, but by then, we were already floating outside
I deactivated silentium and propelled us further and further up into the sky
”EHH!? J-John! W-Wait! Wait a minute!”
”Ah, are you afraid of heights too?” I asked
”N-no not that! H-How?!”
”Ah, it's a long story, let's fly around for a bit first”
I cast velox and propelled us through the clouds in the sky, the feeling of being in the air was as great as always, not to mention the nice cool breese.
The nervous expression on eleanor's face slowly changed into a happy one after we flew around for a while.
From our location the moon was clearly visible, it was a beautiful sight, I'm sure Serena and Ariel would've wanted to see it from here
”Are you feeling better?” I asked
”better?”
”Mhm, you looked a bit down so I thought this would cheer you up, but you can't tell anyone”
”Why?”
”What”
”If it's something that you're supposed to keep as a secret, why put it at risk by telling me?”
”Hmm... because you were sad?”
After she heard this, with a chuckle she asked ”That's it?” before she said ”Serena was right... You're too trusting...” with a small smile
”Haha... not really...” I muttered
”Hey john...”
”Yeah?”
”Close your eyes”
”Hm? Why?” I asked as I closed them
Shortly after, I felt the sensation of a flick on my forehead
”Ow...” I said as I opened my eyes
Her fingers right were in front of my face as I asked ”What did I do to deserve that...?”
”You were open” She said with a smile
