Slowly lurking in the shadows

The group walked around the academy building. They visited the main public places that were frequently bustling with students. The canteen, the gym and the library.

" Oh, right, in this school we have to live in the dorms. Where are them ? ", asked Esm, while glancing around. Lyn looked at their guide, then he answered, " the dorms are just behind, it isn't far from here ". " Mnnnn, I think this year will be really fun, isn't it Lex ? ", " Maybe, if you don't run in trouble each second, Ander ". The rest of them laughed hearing this statement. Dev just shook his head, feeling helpless.

A light melody rang out, and a wrist-screen lit up. The yellow eyed girl picked up the call, " Lyn ? How are things going at your new school ? Right, we've received the results from the test, and will get home as soon as possible. Dad will be there too. ", " Allright mom, I'm coming ". Lyn had an apologetic expression, " sorry guys, gotta go home. Oh, my mom said that the test result arrived. Has it arrived to you too ? ". Esm tapped her screen, " Yeah…. Oh, my mother sent a message too. ", The other three guys nodded too. They all got their results. " It seems like that everyone has to get back ", Dev mumbled while tapping on his screen. " Well, let's update each other later. See you tomorrow Adeus, then ! ". The others, after saying goodbye, went on their own way. The blue haired guy nodded, he hesitated a bit, then he took her hand and left a piece of paper. Then he left.

Lyn looked at the small piece of paper, unfolding it. A string of numbers and letters were there and a phrase. It was saying ' call me if you need anything '. She for a moment was stunned, then she giggled. ' Such a curious guy. Why did he write down his number ? I saw that he also has a wrist-screen '.

" Young miss ? Miss ? ", the girl got awakened from her thoughts. The family driver was calling her, " Oh, Uncle driver. I'm coming ! ".

A pair of green eyes followed the running girl's figure, till they couldn't see anymore.

In a dark building, five figures were gathered. They were all wearing a black cloak and their face was hidden under the hoods. In the dark place a few strands of a pale sun pierced through the cracks of the ceiling. One stepped forward, " I've tried to settle down. After I've made sure that the place is harmless to us, I'll take you there. In the meantime, please keep waiting for good news ". Then he paused, " let's set the time for the next meeting. And… guys, be alive till next time we meet again ". The voice trembled a bit, saying those words. Another figure, as if it was annoyed, slapped his shoulder, " Can you stop worrying ? We aren't three year old childrens ", the other three cracked up in laughter. The grave atmosphere was immediately washed away. Then the five hugged each other then parted.

" Director, reporting ", Dr.0 slightly lowered her head, waiting for the command. The figure frowned, and waved his hand. " Report, the first batch… we lost their tracks. It looks like they had a detector device on them. We're still inverstingant on this issue ". " Dr.0 you'd better not disappoint me again. I don't need useless things. I think you know their ending here, right ? ". The scientist stood stiffly in front of him.

The purple haired woman walked out, while her blue eyes for a moment turned purple. She walked in her office, then sat down, clearly annoyed. ' Just you wait ', her gaze was full of anger.

The wolf haired girl happily stepped out from the car, then ran towards the entrance of the house. " I'm home ! ". Two people were already waiting for her. She hugged them while giggling. Kaden stoked her hair while smiling, " my dear princess, let's see your test results together ". The family walked in the saloon, where a screen was floating on the top of the table. Joslyn gently tapped on the message. " miiiiiiiiiissssssssss! You didn't pass it, didn't you ? You've been lazing around for the entire summer ! ". A pillow was thrown and hit the target. " Shut up, Mr. Puff ", snorted Lyn, while glaring at the round shaped ball flying around. Joslyn hid her laugh behind her hand, then called her daughter, " Lyn, are you ready ? ", " Yes ". She said so, but her body expression were betraying her. The hands were clenched up in fists.

Soon the window popped up, showing a row of numbers, at the bottom a 93 out of 100 could be seen. " oh ", this was everything that Lyn could say. Kaden smiled and picked up her daughter while spinning, " ahahahha, my little baby it's a genius !! ". " Daaaaaaaaadd ! Put me down !! ". The mother watched them, " you two stop now, or no dinner this evening! ". Both dad and daughter stood still.
