Eleonna stared at the paper deep in her thoughts that she didn't notice Mace and Fumiya's arrival. The two scanned them in confusion, seeing as they have a serious face.
"Ah, you're here, Eleonna," Mace said.
The girl turned around and finally saw them. Fumiya nodded at her and continued his way into the their wine cellar that was filled with different kinds of liquors. Eleonna heard Audella groan beside her.
She greeted Mace as soon as he sat across them. Mace raised his brows at Audella when he noticed her being grumpy towards him.
"What are you acting like that for?" he asked.
Audella didn't answer him and just poured another liquor on her glass. He noticed the envelope that was displayed on the table and looked at her, he finally understood what was going on. "Seriously?"
Audella rolled her eyes at
Staying up late indeed is a bad idea.Sitting on her chair with heavy eyes, Eleonna slapped her own cheeks to contain herself from dozing off. No matter how she force her eyes to open wide, the feeling of wanting to sleep is still dominant.Poor girl stayed up late thinking about how exactly Eleanor got into that team that she's currently in.'With strong determination on her eyes.'Why is she determined? And of what? From what she remembered, Eleanor had given up from everything.The morning class finally ended. Eleonna immediately closed her eyes and laid on her chair."Aren't you gonna eat? Let's go to the cafeteria." she heard Nesha said as the girl stood beside her chair. She didn't bother to open her eyes."I want to sleep all day."Nesha sat in front of her and looked at the girl suspiciously.
"You seemed extra energetic today." Nesha commented as she watched Eleonna do their PE exercises so fast. She couldn't believe how her behavior yesterday contradicts today. "Ah, I had a good sleep last night, that's why." Eleonna giggled as she reached out for her water container. "Huh? You done already? Wait for me!" Eleonna grinned and ran away from her. She could hear her call her name which made the teachers look her way. Oh how she loves teasing her dear friend. Yesterday's brawling session was a good warm up for her. It seemed like it awakened her sleeping skill, improved even. She was glad that Celeste didn't take her defeat personal, though. Mace called them for a meeting yesterday to discuss how to get Eleonna a pass card. Turned out, the necklace that she got from Eleanor was not just a fashion necklace, its barcode pendant was a tool to let her enter the unde
After a long day of class and hanging out with Nesha and Liya, Eleonna finally got to lay on her bed. She couldn't help but to reminisce about the things that had happened these past days. Is what she's doing the right thing? How is this gonna affect her life?She groaned and decided to sit on her chair to do her schoolworks. She doesn't want to overthink today, not now. As she was getting her papers, a polaroid fell from the shelves. She picked it up and scanned it.She forgot about this.The picture that she found from her home. She flipped the picture and read the names written on it.Arthur SalvelleJohnson VierroGeorge Donn ValmoraAllerick Hemming"I really don't know these guys..." she murmured to herself as she tried to remember her childhood days if her father had introduced them.
Someone had told Eleonna to think of her actions thoroughly before making it happen, because it will either result to something good or bad. Well in this situation, she couldn't really tell if the consequence of her action was a good thing. I mean, she now knew the name of that girl her sister was talking to now that might be a big help for her, but at what cost? Ofcoure to get beaten up and harassed by some irresponsible drunkards. "Here, use this to mend those cuts." Shaun said as he placed the medicine kit on top of the table. Eleonna opened her eyes and sat properly, she groaned as she felt the aftermath pain. Must've been that adrenaline rush that caused her not to realize just how bad she actually got beaten up, 'cause let's be honest, even if this girl knows how to actually fight, that doesn't mean that it'll make her untouchable. Shaun watched as the girl visibly fro
"Woah, that's a lot of bruises and cuts you got there. You know, a lady should take care of herself, specially her face." Celeste said as she dodge Eleonna's punch. Eleonna's brows creased at her statement. Oh, she doesn't want to talk about the cuts. "Just shut it and focus---argh!" she groaned when the girl managed to kick her from behind. Celeste immediately wrapped her arms around the girl's neck as she pointed the knife on her neck. "You see, when you fight with someone, you shouldn't get frustrated because if you do, then you wouldn't be able to focus and think of a good strategy to win against them." Eleonna rolled her eyes at her statement. Immediately recognizing her advice for her when they first brawl. "That's what you said, and it's actually effective so thanks," she grinned as she let her go. "What's wrong with you? It's very bo
Time flies fast, whether you like it or not, it does. As for Eleonna, she isn't that glad of how fast the days passed. For the past few days, the girl didn't have anything in mind but the game. Mace told her that it will happen the day after tomorrow, which is Saturday. Her routine had been the same, school, hideout, home. To say that she's nervous is an understatement. I mean, who wouldn't get scared for themselves if they knew they'll be doing some dangerous shits for the next day? Not to mention, Illegal too. Everytime she goes to that place, she couldn't help but to rethink about her decisions. It felt like what she's doing is not right, but at the same time if it weren't for this then she wouldn't know the things that she discovered now. She couldn't quit now that she's closer to the truth she wants to find out. And maybe, she'll finally find her too. She alr
"Hey," Eleonna greeted as soon as the both of them got inside.Albeit weirded out by the stares they're giving to them, to her specifically. She walked towards the couch where everyone was situated.Mace stood up and went in front of them."So, since everyone is here. We'll be discussing about our new tactics in the game," he glanced at Eleonna, "And as for you since this is your first time, buckle up 'cause I'm gonna tell you things that you need to know."Audella sat beside her. Mace carried the table to the font as he scanned each paper above it."Hotel de Devio is a famous five star hotel in the Philippines, we all know that underneath their luxury profile, there's hell," he showed them a paper, "This is the official list of the members of the group we'll be facing this year."He gave them the paper and let them read it individually. There wer
Eleonna drank her nth cup of water for the evening as she stared at the wall clock in her room. It's already 11 in the evening, and you know what that means. The girl has been walking back and forth in the room while silently saying her prayers. She turned to look around the room, if she dies, who's gonna take care of her toy collection?The girl shook her head as she tried to get her mind off of negative things. She's already nervous as it is and thinking about death wouldn't do her any better.Eleonna went out of her room to go downstairs, to her surprise her uncle was still awake and is currently watching a TV. She walked towards him and sat across the single couch."It's late, why are you still awake?" he asked, eyes still on the television."I can't sleep. So I decided to walk around the house. How about you, uncle? Don't you have a work tomorrow?"The girl couldn't help but
