The Secret

"It's Sn*ckers."

"Really? I don't like that snack. . "

"It's so sweet, I also don't like it."

Maybe I expect too much that he will say my name, I finish my ice cream then start to walk again to explore the city central before going home. I lead the way to the tram station but Noah stop me,

"Sera, I want to buy something for dinner."

"Where?"

"There."

He points at a take away restaurant and he walks to the restaurant. I see the menu and it's a Korean restaurant that serves only chicken wings. Noah order 12 piece of Bulgogi flavor wings and I order 8 piece of spicy chicken wings with french fries. We wait for 10 minutes while the cook make our foods. Once we get everything, we head back to the tram station and wait for the tram.

"So, Sera, are you having fun?"

"Yes, I do."

"That's good."

The tram is here and we get into the tram. 10 minutes later we reach the suburb area where we live and we walk together to our dorm. On our way, I hear someone is walking behind us with a high heels then someone tap Noah's shoulder and he turns around. He take a step backwards and I look at him, confused. I decided to look at who tap Noah's shoulder and it's the "lady" from the casino before.

"Hello again, handsome. I think we're meant to be together because we meet again."

"Oh my God."

"Maybe this time you can give me your number?"

"N-No. . ."

Noah runs away with full speed and he left me behind with the "lady"

"Such a cute boy, he's shy."

"Do you want me to introduce you to him? Maybe I can give your number to him?"

"What an angel, yes please, darling. Here's my number and tell him my name is Diana."

The "lady" gives me a piece of paper and I put it inside my pocket then I walk to the dorm. Once I reach the dorm, I open the mailbox to check whether there's any mail for me and the mailbox is empty. I lock the mailbox and go inside. I go to the 4th floor and knock Noah's door.

"Noah?"

He opens the door then look left, right, left and right.

"Are you here alone?"

"Yes. I'm alone, anyways, here."

I give him the paper that the "lady" gave me before.

"What is this?"

" 'Her' number."

"Why you give me this?"

"She ask me to give it to you so I just give it to you, oh, her name is Diana."

"I don't want it."

"Bye, Noah~"

I left him and go into my room as fast as possible. I put my bag on the sofa and sit on the chair. I turn on the laptop and watch some movies. All of sudden, my necklace suddenly glows and I can hear a "meaw" coming from my balcony. I open the curtain and there's a yellow kitten on my balcony. I freeze on my place, how can that kitten climb to my balcony? Then I hear someone is banging my door.

"Sera! Open it, Sera!"

I run to the front door and Noah rush into my room. I point at my balcony then he opens the door and try to catch the kitten but the kitten is faster and it runs away.

"How. . .How do you know?"

He points at the necklace, "Because of this. This necklace alerts me that something is stalking you and it's true."

"I don't understand."

"I'm able to know whether you are in danger, Sera because of this necklace."

"Ok . . ."

I try to understand the situation but it's so confusing. I have no idea how can a necklace alert someone who lives next door. I sit on the chair and holding the necklace.

"I understand now. . Is this some kind of super sophisticated technology that I never knew?"

". . ."

"Noah?"

"Remember when I said that the kitty is not a real kitten?"

"Yes."

"It's a human that can turn into a creature, this case, it's a human that transform into a kitten and that human being is stalking you."

I don't believe in his words, I believe that magic or anything like that doesn't exist but if it's true, it means that magic, spells, wizards and those kind of things exist.

"How do you know that?"

"I. . . I saw it."

"When?"

"Last month. Sera, lock the balcony and remember to always wear the necklace."

He walks to the front door and left my room. I go to my laptop and type 'Transformation magic', the result says that it's just a myth. What if Noah is lying about it and it's just an ordinary kitty? But. . . how can a kitten climb to the 4th floor? It's weird.

Noah is back in his room and he sits on his couch. How can that kitten is back? He already warned the kitten not to get close to Sera. He must do something. Noah reachs one of the painting of a house that's hung on the wall and touch the canvas. He steps into the painting and he stands in front of the house. He knocks the house and a young girl opens it.

"Noah."

"Isabelle, is your mother here?"

"Yes, she's here. Please come in. I'll get her."

He walks into the house and sit on a chair. The young girl is back with a middle aged woman. She is slender, tall and beautiful.

"Madam Francis."

He greets the middle aged woman.

"Noah, what brings you here?"

"Do you know about Benjamin?"

"Yes."

"He's stalking my neighbor and I must protect her."

"Jacqueline Sera Lilliane."

"Wait a minute, how do you know her name?"

"I know everything, Noah."

"Please help me, I need to protect her from Benjamin."

"I can't help you, Noah. It's all on you."

"Madam Francis, please!"

"I'm sorry but I can't."

Noah clench his fist then leave Madam Francis house and step out of the painting. He reachs for his phone that's on the table and send a message to Sera. But right before he press the send button, he stopped and delete the message.

"This is making me crazy."

He throw his body on the bed and rest his eyes. He thinks about every possibilites that can help him to protect the clumsy girl but he can't think of anything. Noah place his phone on the table next to his bed then he closes his eyes and sleep.
