Chapter Twenty-Nine ― What Have We Done!?

At The Ballroom

In Skye Evander High School

"Ximena!" The bloke screamed when he successfully arrived at the cave. Anger and sadness were seen in the bloke's eyes.

Jemima turned limp instantly when she heard that name. Her eyes popped out and her mouth wide open. Her face turned pale and her breathing became hoarse. Her heart raced so quickly that it would have jumped off from her ribcage. Her aura that used to emit bubbliness and friendliness now emitted lethal coldness. Icy sweats splashed on her forehead and she became woozy and so muddleheaded. She was now lost in her world of infinite thoughts and stood there like a fixed dummy.

Minutes passed by and she finally moved herself, she shuffled miserably from the congested ballroom to the serene restroom to wash her pale face and along the line, she met her clique – The Resolute.

"Why is your face white?" Caitlyn asked. There was worry in her voice. "Are you sure you're okay?"

"Of course, I am okay." Jemima nodded, massaging her temple slightly. "Just feeling restless and so nervous." She didn't want to alert her friends of the new fact learnt. Ohreja practiced monarchy back then and the name of the queen that reigned then was Queen Ximena Chroust. How was Desha actually related to such an intricate yet vast account like that? She recalled when Shelbie asked why she was so intrigued about such people and for a moment she thought she was overreacting and taking things too serious.

"I'm going to the restroom." Jemima took an excuse but asked something before parting. "So when are we executing the plan?"

"Very soon. In case you guys sense anything unusual…" Khloé brought out the walkie-talkies that were of different colors from her pink mini schoolbag and distributed it to them. "Just alert us thru this walkie-talkies. And also…be very careful, okay?"

The other girls nodded.

Jemima took hers and hurriedly left for the restroom. She was feeling so weird. Just as she exhaled and was about to touch the hand basin, a mysterious personality quickly kicked the walkie-talkie from her right hand. Turning around to see who it was, Jemima was knocked out in half a second, and actually she inhaled something so that was why. Two masked identical dudes came out from their hidey-hole and hurled her to a gray van and she was flung to the backseat. Her hands tied with strong ropes and her mouth wrapped with an intoxicated hankie.

"Time to execute the plan! Hope you girls are ready!" Khloé initiated and this alerted the other distant girls.

"Caitlyn are you there?" Khloé asked and Caitlyn replied with a smirk on her lips, "A-OK!" She looked like a badass bitch, after she applied that bold red lipstick on her luscious lips.

"Mayday! Mayday!" Shelbie cried out, holding the pitch black walkie-talkie to her mouth. "Jemima is missing! She is not in the restroom, she's not in the ballroom! I repeat! Jemima is missing!" Shelbie called out. Her voice crusted with extreme fear and grit.

"What!"

"Oh no!"

In less than what seem like a jiffy, the trio went on an unexpected search. Jemima was missing and they needed to search for her. The only thing they could figure out was that Jemima's abduction could be Desha's handiwork.

"Let's not jump into conclusion, what if she's in danger and needs our help right now?" Caitlyn rectified. "We just need to search for her so don't give up!"

"But we can't find her. Someone must've abducted her, right?" Shelbie said, glancing at the other two girls for their responses. This time around, the usual air of seriousness hovered around her.

"Surefire…, Desha must have…abducted her. You know that the both of them are not in good terms." Khloé chipped in after she coughed awkwardly. Her voice was barely a whisper but the other girls heard it clearly.

"Yeah! Yeah! Desha is capable of doing anything horrible." Caitlyn backed Khloé up and it was true. Desha was capable of doing anything illicit and dangerous just to please herself.

"You're right. The only idea my lazy brain cells can make up now is for us to sneak into the security department building and check the CCTV recordings but you all know that's very dangerous and it's also illegal." Shelbie said as her eyes darted to and fro in uttermost confusion. Sweats drenched her carbuncle headdress.

"Exactly!" The other girls cried happily.

"Why didn't I think of that?" Caitlyn smacked her head.

As the three confused missies were cussing on their way to the security department, the masked triplets dashed out from god knows where and bang! The three girls wilted away and fell down lifelessly after a grayish stuff was blustered in the atmosphere. They were hurled to the same gray van Jemima was.

The Sunset Flirts were to sneak into the CCTV & monitoring rooms in the security department building, destroy the CCTVs and terminate the footages recorded. They were to also erase every trace of their activities and they were very successful in doing that. They fought the beefy guardsmen, camouflaged as them, seriously threatened the weakened ones and did so many other things.

They were ambling back to the rendezvous point Desha had arranged beforehand. They called Desha to confirm whether the abductions were successful. After they confirmed that the kidnappings went successful and they made away with it, they could now flee away too before they attract anyone's attention.

Kitty: [Agitated] "Dawn, guess what?!"

Dawn: [Curious] "What?"

Kitty: [Muddleheaded] "The underground passageway…it's inaccessible. It's as if it doesn't exist."

Dawn: [Clenches her jaw and her expression becomes stern] "You're joking, aren't you? You know that we planned to escape thru that underground passageway…"

Kitty: [Pissed off] "Yeah but I never joke with delicate matters like this! Someone must have detected it but I made sure it was unnoticeable."

Dawn: [Infuriated] "Oh my! What should we do now because Desha and the triplets are gone with those girls, so we're trapped?"

Kitty: [Anxious] "People will notice us and they will question us, right?"

Dawn: [Smirks] "I have an idea."

The two girls rolled over to the waitron quarters. They wanted to disguise as one of the human waiters so they were careful not to attract the attention of the sleuthing robots.

Dawn huffed, "That wasn't easy. I never planned for this but…those annoying robots are something else. I just feel like breaking the parts of their bodies but there's no time for rampage."

Kitty nodded. They disguised as the human waitresses and then planned on escaping from there but something caught their attention. The truth was that they knocked down two waitresses and wore their attires, which was why they were dressed as waitresses. One wouldn't notice unless they scrutinize the girls very, very well.

"Have you heard?" A slender looking bloke stated, he was seventeen judging from his appearance. There were some curious students who encircled themselves around him. "Have you guys heard the latest tidings in Skye Evander High School? Ish. You guys have no idea."

"Heard what tidings? Please tell us…" The curious students pleaded.

Kitty who was standing far beside them twitched her lips in disgust, "Is there anything meaningful students of this high school can do other than gossiping and blathering." She narrowed her eyes and smirked at Dawn who was few inches beside her. "I heard that they even have pages and chitchat groups in Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and other social media handles. Wow! It's so ridiculous."

Dawn tittered. "You should know that students from wealthy families attend this high school, so what do you expect? C'mon, let's go before some dumb assholes will notice us." The two were about to walk away when a gorgeous bitch amongst the students said something.

"Yeah. I also heard that she schooled in Hamill Dayle High School in Neruize." A blondish teenage girl cleared her throat and rolled her eyes nonchalantly to express definite disgust. She wobbled her glossy golden blonde hair to flaunt that she was a high-class personality. "You all know how bad and debased Neruize is? I wonder how she really look like 'cause I've once witnessed the harsh weather conditions there. And as well, some persons say she's nice-looking, indeed!?" she snorted and rolled her eyes.

The other students muttered and whispered deeply amongst themselves.

Kitty and Dawn narrowed their eyes when they heard this. Of course they both schooled in Hamill Dayle High School but who was this girl they were talking about that also schooled there?

As if God, the omnipotent was observing all these, a student raised her phone and presented the picture of Jemima, clear enough for even the blind to see. "This is the girl, Jemima Stephenson is her name. She's the girl that schooled in Hamill Dayle High School in Neruize."

The slender bloke retorted back. "She's indeed nice-looking, so what can you say, Layla Freya Leighton? You are nowhere near her. You're not as beautiful as her yet you're bragging as if you have ever won a beauty contest, have you ever won one?"

That was a very big and humiliating slap to the girl. Her name was Layla Freya Leighton, her parents were one of those well-heeled couples that were fairly recognized in the lines of business. Her father just partnered with one of the companies owned by the Flintstones Family, which was why she was vaunting.

Kitty and Dawn who were observing the heated scenario stood frozen at the spot. Was Jemima not the girl they kidnaped? Kitty and Dawn held their fallen but white faces and their mouths dropped in shock.

Faint images of a cheery girl that had pale purple eyes appeared in Kitty's memory. Sitting at a quiet corner, she held the sides of her head and forced herself to recollect. Slowly and gradually, the memory came back.
