132 Get Ou (2/2)

Vixen's heart took a little stab. It hurt, like it was being ripped into pieces.

He still kept his eyes on hers. Even when they began to waver, even when it felt like she was overpowering him, he kept them open.

The room felt hot.

”My apologies ma'am, I will fill in the holes I missed,” Vixen nodded.

”Goo,” Mrs. Cloud chuckled, ”go ahead.”

”Where exactly must I fill in the information ma'am,” Vixen asked.

”I'm sure you know of it yourself,” Mrs. Cloud shrugged looking up to the video. Her eyes swing down and lock eyes with Vixen's, ”surely you won't need to me restate it for you right?”

Vixen simply blinked away her comment. ”I would like some guidance just in case I am to miss the mark on the type of explanation ma'am wants,” Vixen pressed.

”Hmm,” Mrs. Cloud muttered. Vixen flinched when all emotion is wiped off her face and she stared down at him with blank, empty deep violet eyes. ”How about we start by stopping whatever plan is going on in your head as of right now,” she replied, her face barely moving except for her talking lips. Like a stoic-faced mannequin, she peered into his eyes.

”If you have enough energy to think of getting under my skin with that kind of reply formation, then I'm sure you have enough to know what you have to say,” Mrs. Cloud muttered, her voice barely over a whisper. ”You're a Cloud member Vixen. You know better than that.”

Vixen froze. His entire body was unable to combat her words. He couldn't blink them off, he couldn't brush them off, he couldn't even ignore the comment.

Their eyes were still locked onto each other, in the air was dead silence and Mrs. Cloud and Vixen remained in eye contact. The tension wrapped around Vixen like a snake, slowly stifling him and paralyzing him with a single strike.

His eyes hurt, they burned. They begged to be hidden away from the deep void they were being sucked into. They screamed.

They burned. It was too late to look away.

”Now…” Mrs. Cloud muttered, her face not moving an inch except for her talking lips. She looked up at the video and reached for the remote, shutting the video off. ”My time has been wasted.”

Vixen shuddered.

Mrs. Cloud's crossed legs unraveled and she stood up, creaks almost could be heard in her movement. Her head looked down at the watch on her wrist and she turns around immediately walking towards her desk.

”We're ending this here,” Mrs. Cloud muttered as she walked towards her table. She bends down and presses a button on her desk.

A ding echoes through the room and into Vixen's ears. He shuddered. It was a wake-up call. A ring that snapped him out of his frozen stance, it freed him from the paralyzation he had felt while being in the grasp of her eyes.

”Is this what you wanted?” Mrs. Cloud asked, her head snapping up from her desk and locked eyes with Vixen. Her eyes dug into his soul. ”Is this what you wanted to come out of this? If so, congratulations.”

Vixen shivered again. There was something… so wrong with her gaze.

”The next time we meet, your explanation will be ready to give to me in full detail. There will be no missing parts, no silence, and no hesitation. You will spill forth all you held back today,” She commanded as her secretary walked into the room.

She exchanged glances with the secretary and the secretary trembled, rushing over to her side.

”Get out,” Mrs. Cloud ordered Vixen. ”Get out of this room and remain out of my sight for the rest of the day. Climb on the walls if you wish. The moment I lay my eyes on you today, you will be dragged back to this room and there will be no exit waiting for you at that time.”

Vixen's eyes were still on her. They were shaking.

”Am I made clear?” She repeated. Her eyes looking down on Vixen.

He nodded immediately and began his way out of the room.

”Oh and,” Mrs. Cloud called out.

Vixen froze in his steps and turned sound to look at her. ”Yes ma'am?”

Mrs. Cloud's head tilted to the side and she smiled. ”Don't forget your place, Vixen Cloud. At the end of the day, this is your home. Don't let these walls become strangers.”
