11 A cruel salvation (2/2)

Seb didn't bother to use the ointment. She had no energy to get up. She just could turn around, that too pretty hardly, covered herself with the blanket up to the neck, and laid still.

Lucifer noticed that and let out an inaudible sigh. His annoyed expression had gone. He didn't blame her for acting so defying towards him. It was all his fault. He tried not to get distracted but couldn't help and kept an eye on her constantly.

At Erica's

-Hey Erica, it's Jane.

-Jane!!! Any news?

-I called up on Senior Jacob. He did meet her.

-After that?

-He was the last person she met at college. She seemed to be in a rotten mood.

-Did something happen?

-Yeah, they confessed that she was forced into playing.

-What???

-They...threatened her to play. She was mad!

-What the hell!!! Where did she go after that?

-Some of them noticed her storming out on her bike. That was the last of her seen.

-I see.

-Don't worry Erica. Seb is pretty independent. I'm sure she's fine. You're worrying in vain.

-But she's too careless sometimes. To add to it, she doesn't have a mature mind yet. She acts wild sometimes too.

-That's what is cool about her.

-That's was worries me. Often she's in trouble due to her recklessness.

-Don't worry so much. You'll see she'll be back at college on Monday in one piece.

-I hope. Anyways, thank you very much Jane.

-It's fine. I'm hanging up.

-Yeah.

”You're the one who's acting restless you realize that?”, Erica's mother said,” You know that Seb is pretty smart for her age. She must be stuck at something important. You know she stays too busy. She'll call you as soon as she is free. Calm down”.

Erica sighed and tried to calm down.

She thought,”I wish I could reassure myself by thinking the same. But unfortunately, Seb is someone, whom troubles hosts itself regularly”.
