Chapter Fifty Three

Blueth Mendoza's POV

"So, you like-like me?" I asked Rachelle as we were walking towards the market. It was market day, the day where Ms. Val and I check what things we need in the house and we go to the market to buy them.

Ms. Val was the one who was supposed to go with me to the market to buy the things we needed, but since Rachelle came over, Ms. Val insisted that Rachelle will be the one who will go with me to the market. I'm not complaining about Ms. Val's decision.

"Blueth, you've asked me that question multiple times now. Yes, I like-like you." Rachelle replied as she let out a giggle. That giggle of hers, it's so cute! I feel like my gay heart will explode from that giggle of hers! Ack!

"Well, I'm just checking." I replied as I blushed, looking at her.

"Oh, Blueth." Rachelle said as she let out another giggle. Seriously though, that giggle of her will kill me someday.

"So, what's first on the list?" I asked Rachelle as I took the basket she was carrying.

She stopped walking and takes out a piece of paper from her pockets. "Well, the first thing on the list is." Rachelle stopped reading the list and she starts looking around. "You hear that?" She asks as she kept looking around.

"Hear what?"

"It sounds like it's coming from... Run!" Rachelle said as she grabbed my arm and dragged me away.

The ground which we were standing on suddenly bursts and came out this black figure.

"Y-you...?" I stuttered as I looked at the figure. He was wearing a black cloak and a mask. There's no doubt about it. "Raymund."

"You know that guy?" Rachelle asked as she looked at me.

"Y-yeah... He's bad news..."

"Don't be afraid. I came here not to harm anyone. I only came here to take back what's not supposed to be here." Raymund said as he suddenly charged towards me. I tried to get up to run away, but I didn't escape him. He got me before I even got the chance to getaway.

"What do you want from me!?" I yelled as I tried to squirm myself out of his grip. I wasn't actually in his hands, but I was caught by these shadows coming from his cloak.

"I want nothing from you child. I just need you to be as bait. Since Val only comes out when you're in danger, you'll be the perfect bait." Raymund said as he let out a laugh.

"Ha! Good luck! I know Ms. Val and she won't fall for that trick! We've proofread lots of books together, that type of bait won't work on her!"

"We'll see about that! You there! Tell Valerie that I have her human! Tell her she only has until the end of the day to come to me, or else her human gets it!" Raymund said as he pointed at Rachelle.

"No! Don't do it, Rachelle! I can get out of this!"

Raymund then started flying away, with me in the grip of his shadow hands.

"Blueth!" I heard Rachelle scream from the distance.

Ms. Val won't fall for this Raymund guy's trick. Ms. Val knows what will happen in these types of bait plans. Ms. Val's not stupid like that, right?
