30 His crush (2/2)

Then as he opened the 5th door in the second floor he saw Madel. She was lying in the middle of the room in a meditation mat.

”Madel, wake up” he shook her shoulder ”Madel he repeated.

She did not woke up, he checked her carotid pulse and breathing, she was still alive. He slipped his fingers under her head, then neck, at the back, going downwards. He wanted to check for bleeding, contusion, or any injury. There was none but she won't wake up. He lifted her body to carry her. She slowly opened her eyes as Henry was drawing her closer. Their eyes met and he stopped.

”Tsk, how can you sleep like a log” he said in a very sassy voice. He was pissed.

”Henry, what is happening, why are you here.” Madel mumble. She was still sleepy.

”get up shadows are here again.” he said.

”again?”

Shadows never made such grand entry as this, they were always discreet when they wanted to kill someone. But, it was already the second time that they went over to the school campus to kill.

Henry held her waist and jumped from floor to floor, they quickly reached the ground floor and there was nobody else left in the building. There was no choice, all they could do was to hide. He pulled her towards the nearest meditation room and they stood inside a small cabinet where gowns for meditating are used.

Madel started to realize that she was only wearing a single layer of clothes when Henry took her. The gowns for meditation has long sleeves and skirts covering almost entirely her body. But, it can easily be untied with a single pull of ribbon on her waist.

Now they were in a very awkward situation. The space inside the cabinet was only good to hide them both. Her body was pressed against his, while one of his hand was still around her waist. Her face was on his neck and the top of her head was just reached to touch his chin.

Henry did not notice anything strange with their position, he arranged a barrier to hide them both before he lose his consciousness. The barrier has the ability conceal their presence, and aura. If they do not change position, not even the school principal can locate them. Meanwhile Madel's face was as red as tomato.

”Madel, we have to wait until they pass, this is not a battle that we can win.” he said. Henry was referring to the shadows vengeful nature. You kill one and they will kill you even if they bring all their army.

The pressure became even more pronounced. Henry's soul could not take it any longer he became unconscious while standing, Madel hugged him to support him to stand up, it was awkward. But with him, she never felt afraid.

”Henry, with you I feel totally safe” Madel said.

A powerful burst of dark aura enveloped the school, everyone was knocked out, even those who were inside the evacuation area.
