Alex approached Emily and whispered in her ear. "Emily what are you doing here, what about Lilitth?"
"It's alright she's back in the mansion sleeping. Also I'll be back before she even notices that I'm gone." Emily whispered back.
While Alex and Emily were whispering to each other, Evangeline and Rachel were looking at the two in envy. Rachel already understood that Emily and Alex weren't in that kind of relationship, and that they're just friends, but seeing how close she is to him... That they're able to have secrets between on another was envious.
Evangeline on the other hand was also jealous of how close Alex and Emily were, but she looks at the two differently from how Rachel does. To Evangeline Alex and Emily looked more like brother and sister, or something greater than that, it doesn't feel like they were just friends. Still it doesn't feel like they were lovers either.
Unaware of the thoughts of the two girls, Alex and Emily continued their whispering conversation. "So what are you planning on doing here Emily?"
"Nothing much, I'm just waiting for someone." Emily couldn't help but smile her cute mischievous smile, as she said this.
"Who?" When it comes to Emily, Alex couldn't let his guard down. Emily might be on his side, but she really does not make things easier for him.
"You'll see who it is, when he gets here." Emily as usual continued to remain cryptic. Unable to get anything out of Emily, Alex decided it was a waste of effort to continue talking. Since it would seem that Emily would do whatever she wants. She might be a maid in the mansion, but it seems like that and this were two different matters for her.
When the two of them were done talking Rachel approached them with a somehow forceful smile. "So what were the two of you talking about?"
"Nothing much, it was just something trivial." Alex answered with his usual poker face, which made it difficult for anyone to determine whether he was lying or not.
"If it was nothin much, why don't you tell me?" Rachel unperturbed continued to press on with her questioning. Emily who saw Alex wasn't able to answer spoke in his defense.
"Its nothing really, Alex here was just reminding me, that he was going to return what he borrowed tomorrow. Don't ask what he borrowed from me. Alex might think you're being too pushy if you do that." The second half Emily whispered to Rachel.
"Okay... By the way Emily how did you know what was happening here?" Rachel had now changed her target of questioning from Alex to Emily.
"Oh that well, you see... I-" While Emily was being interrogated by Rachel, Alex spoke to Evangeline.
"Evangeline, now that you know I can protect Rachel better than your bodyguards, you may return home." Evangeline's heart felt like breaking when she heard Alex say this. She already knew that to Alex she was just a friend and Rachel was something more than that... But still being made to realize this over and over again, was just agonizing. Still she needed to press on, from the start she knew that it wouldn't be easy.
Alex was a single minded person, and his devotion was second to none. Those are the traits that Evangeline loved about him, that's why she couldn't just give up or get disheartened by something of this level.
While Evangeline was strengthening her resolve, the twenty men who came with her were feeling ashamed. They claimed to be the final defense of the Kain family, but they weren't even able to see through the movements of a sixteen year old boy. But based on how Alex was talking to Evangeline, he might be someone special, maybe that's why they couldn't follow his movements.
"Alright I understand. I will send the men back home... But I'm staying."
"WHAT!" Before Alex could say anything, Rachel interjected by screaming.
"What do you mean you're staying? Why do you need to stay?" Rachel asked Evangeline confused at the same time irritated.
"Rachel, I know you and I aren't really in good terms, but I really am worried about you. Also even though we are like this, we're still friends... We are friends, right?"
When Rachel heard what Evangeline asked, she knew where this conversation was going. Yet she had no choice but to say it, if she says otherwise, who knows what Alex might think.
"Yes, Eva, we are friends." Rachel gritted her teeth as she said this, but at the same time she was alright with it. Evangeline even though she had ulterior motives, Rachel was sure that she was still actually worried about her.
"So as friends, I want to stay by your side during this trying times. I hope you don't have a problem with that Alex. I'm sure you wont say that adding one more girl will make it difficult for you. If that is so, we can still use my bodyguards."
"No need, like I said in the beginning I alone am enough." When Alex said those lines, one of the twenty men Evangeline brought noticed someone running towards them, and placed in his back was a sword.
The twenty men tried to intercept the incoming person, but the muscular boy bypassed them with ease, as if he was dancing. This boy was none other than Oliver, who came running the moment he read Emily's message. When he got to Rachel's house he saw that Alex and the others were being surrounded by a weird group of men, so he thought that they were enemies.
So when he got to Alex's side he drew his sword. "Alex what's going on here? Are those guys hostile?"
"Negative, they are Evangeline's bodyguards, and they were leaving." Evangeline felt ashamed of the level her bodyguards were at. They weren't even able to stop Oliver from getting to them. Evangeline might've been ashamed but the men were devastated.
This was a friend of Alex, and presumably someone his age, and he was able to easily evade their capture. Are kids this days just that good? Or were they just lousy.
"You men go home, as you can see you are not needed here." When the twenty heard what Evangeline said, they hung their heads low. before they left they simply nodded their heads acknowledging Evangeline's command and headed back to the cars.
..
When the Evangeline's bodyguards left, another person came running, this time it was Kei. "Even you? What are you doing here?" Rachel who saw the approaching Kei couldn't help but ask.
"Huh? Aren't we gong to have a sleepover? That's what Emily told me." Once Kei said that, everyone's attention was now on Emily.
"Well I guess that's everyone. Three boys and three girls, let's get this sleepover started!" Emily as usual just went with her own flow, without explaining anything at all.
