Isiah was about to sleep when he heard that feminine voice saying that expression, he knew immediately that it was her voice .

However, the amount of tiresome he was feeling made him too numb even to move and push her .

He felt her getting close to him, he heard her quiet steps as she was trying not to wake him up but he stayed just like that feeling that if he just woke up he would stay awake the whole night.

She didn't touch him or even try to correct his sleeping position ; she just put a blanket on him to cover him in that cold weather .

Isiah was capable of smelling her scent and that is why he knew that she was so close .

" I wish that you could just ask for help in need " She whispered in his right ear then he felt that she was moving away, and her smell was fading too.

When she went away, Isiah fell asleep instantly without even thinking of what just happened. To him it was all just a good act , therefore he didn't care much.

However, Lexie stayed awake in her bed looking at Isiah and thinking about how messed up this was .

She was deeply in love with him but he was not going to give her a second chance to atone for her sins .

' I totally understand why is he acting this way, I deserve this , I am a hypocrite who never stood for him, and there is no way for me to tell him that I deeply care for him since we were kids...there is no way that proves that when I stood with those people who were going to kill him silently, I even thought that he deserved it because he was being arrogant '

Lexie couldn't sleep, she saw how deep everyone was sleeping but here.

historical

And she knew that if she kept thinking about him she would not get any sleep at all.

She remembered the day when she woke from that deadly cold just to find herself trapped under his strong body, he even removed her clothes to make a contact between their skins, yet he didn't try to do anything weird that might violate her body.

' A man like him is just out of reach, when things went wrong and those bastards tried to rape me and then kill me he was the one who saved me, he never did something like that to me , and I guess that he never did to another woman , aaaahhhhh, Isiah , tell me , tell me what kind of girl do you like ? Tell me how to approach you? Tell me how to get closer to you ? Tell me how to be one with you ?'

Lexie closed her eyes while leaning towards the wall thinking of all the possibilities that might bring her into a relationship with Isiah until she slept without notice .

***********

" I have to find her, I have to take her down with me and there is only one way for me to do that" Isiah said while looking at Eijar in the eyes .

They had already gone out of that hotel first thing in the morning, Isiah left that man trapped inside that darkness not even caring whether they got caught or not .

He went to a calm place in the forest for two reasons , that was the best place for him to concentrate on the thing that he was going to do, and secondly, he didn't want Ciel to wander around and see those people who were in the dark corridors.

He sat on a rock there while they kept looking around fearing that someone might appear like the other time and try to attack them .

'I am not even going to move from this place until I find that bitc***h'

Lexie took care of the food like always, she just made some for her and the boys with her magic and gave them to eat however, Isiah always refused her food .

At first, she thought that he might hate her to the point where he didn't want to force himself to eat her food but when she discovered the whole thing about eating what he kills she realized that he was not into human food anymore .

However, she kept offering her food if he wanted to eat them maybe .

" Teachers were all glued to the institution at this time of the day " She said when he didn't even look at her as she wanted to give him food .

She went without talking to him again, but he had the idea to really investigate that place if there was an equivalent to it here .

He was going to investigate the whole region if he had to .

'The institution of magic back in Delwias island was in district 1 , meaning the same place the palace of the 7th king's was, the institution is somewhere here in the imperial city'

Isiah's original idea was to try scanning people's energy when he is already in the forest, he thought with more concentration he would try to distinguish people with more energy from people with low energy, then he would distinguish their type of energy.

That idea was going to consume so much time and it was not effective to be done from here.

Even tho he hated her to the bone he was glad that she made that remarkable note at the end of her usual nonsense.

He just started walking without saying a word towards the city again, he was not accompanied by them .

Only Eiajr crawled immediately on his neck but he forced her to stay there .

He said to her with a smile on his face:" Those two are useless, if things became a tough call for me "

She went back to hanging around Ciel, very pissed that he was leaving her behind him to babysit the three of them .

" Don't stay away for so long , plus , Don't kill anyone " She said as he started moving again.

'Adelita was a fuc***ng liar, a girl like her !what was she doing on Delwias island, she had no family, no lover, no kids, nothing to care about , but she stayed there, and taught for all those years, she spread all those lies with a straight face, I want to understand why she did that.

And why did she care about me ? What was the reason for that? What was the reason behind her mask that she put on for an eternity "

The more Isiah thought about that the more he wanted to hurt her, if his thoughts were correct then his teachers were the worst of them all.

Isiah started to ask around about the institution of magic , that was a very weird question ,it only meant that he was not from this region of from Afan , and each time he asked he got exposed and for that he entered so many people in that phase , just to be stuck in darkness forever while he pushed them towards the dark corridors.

After a while of searching, he got to be in that place finally, leaving a parade of people who were stuck in the darkness because of his spell.

Isiah didn't enter that place, he just looked at it from the outside as it looked more like a castle that was covered with snow.

It was much bigger than the one in Delwias island and it looked much more sophisticated with more floors and more classrooms.

The walls were so high and Isiah thought that this place might be very different too.

Considering what he saw while he was investigating the place for a month now this place might be teaching science just like on earth .

That was interesting to Isiah because he wanted to know what would happen if science and magic collide.

'Still, it is a theory , of course, this place appears like that period of history when humankind learned how to take care and find cures to deadly diseases but ..I have to be careful'

.

Isiah stood near the gate for hours waiting for students to show up so that he would blend in and enter that place .

' I still look like a student, I am 16 after all..no..no. I look 18 now ..I think I look way older than that considering my physical appearance, maybe like a teacher , I don't know ? Still there is no guarantee that I would find her here, after all this place is for mages from region 3 who descended...shii***t I have to be patient to get what I want ..I might end up not seeing her all here '

The snow was still falling to cover the place, it was very difficult for people to move around but no one stopped.

They were all doing their daily chores like usual, students started to get out of school , Isiah looked at them with a cold face when he realized that he must have looked very pathetic like that before .

" I still remember what Lucas said ...just like sheep "
