the three Boxes

"Urk....ha-HOOOT VERY HOT, WHAT DID YOU TWO PUT IN THESE!?" Edward begins to panic as he tastes the spice, "Dont tells me, you guys but s chilly into it, dont ya."

"Well, we... kinda pu---"

"Auryan suggested playing Russian roulette while I make this," Liam said as he squealed out auryan in their conversation. "Anyhow, I'll go get m-my se-self a milk."

"Pfft-- okay, see ya," Liam said. As Edward stands up from his feet and approaches his, a sound of a foot comes towards the door, and it opens; three turn around to find Rory in her casual clothes came in, and Edward passes through her.

"I Didn't know that you guys were having a party here. Ever's my invite?" Rory said.

"Oh, that we thi--"

"Yeah, you can just come in and join us and take a bit of this." Liam cuts Auryan off again and presents the teriyaki in front of Rory.

"Hmmm, that looks tasty; dont mind if I do? By the way, what happened to Edward?" She asked as she saw Edward pass through him. The two shook their head and told Rory he would take a bathroom break.

"Is that so, then can I sit beside you?" Rory said as she approached auryan, and she nodded back at Rory. Thus Rory took a toothpick from Edward's desk.

"Huh, his room is kind of normal…." Rory said as she looked around Edward's room to find it interesting; from his choice of wall paint grey and the ceiling, Edward has a tiny freezer, that's a good thing; she approached Edward's freezer and opened it,

"*cough* *cough* what is this!?"

"Is there something wrong?" Auryan asked as she heard Rory coughing suddenly, "Oh, it's nothing really…" she said as she slowly closed the freezer with many canned beers inside it.

Rory then quietly returned and sat down beside Auryan. Is he an alcoholic? Rory thought as looks around, and it suddenly hit her that if Edward had can beers hiding everywhere, then he must something else hiding around that nobody knew; with determination, Rory is decided to snoop around Edward's stuff.

But before she could do anything, she forgot one obstacle have to handle; it was Auryan. Rory cleared her throat and asked Auryan, "Hey, What do you think, Edward?"

"Hmm? What's with the question?" Auryan said, confused as to why Rory asked the question, "It's just that His kind is mysterious don't you think?"

"You do make a point, since back in the mansion; just then way he uses the rifle and the way he acted."

Auryan points out what happened back in the mansion; Edward seems proficient with the rifle, able to shoot with accuracy, Auryan noted. "Auryan was also right; he also saved me."

The two look at Liam as he tells that how they both met; after listening to the three conclude that Edward is not the type of person to open up, they don't even know anything about him, they all go silent as Rory stands up and walks in front of them and said.

"Hey, wouldn't it be a good idea if we snoop around?" Rory suggestion made the two light up, but Auryan shook her head repeatedly, "No, No, why would you suggest that isn't that bridge of privacy?" Auryan said.

"Come on now, and he wouldn't know if we didn't say hi--"

The door opens and comes in a person with their purpled hair tied up to their back, they all recognized it, and it was Estella, "Ughh, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to stop you three from snooping around!" Estela said as she pointed out each three, "You say that, and yet you're spying on us. Aren't you also interested since I sometimes see you walking around Edward's room from time to time?"

"What would make you say that? Since my room is on this second floor, it would be natural ---"

"Girl…. your rooms are on the ground floor; this place is the boy's section." Auryan said, Stopping Estella from explaining her half reason, "Urk… fine, I let you three do whatever you want."

The three contain their laughter as they see Estella acting all different from her usually cold presence; Rory then looks around the room to find any clue. The others did the same, except for Estella. She was the one who was doing the guarding.

After Rory notices something on the corner, she turns around to find Edward's closet is wide open; inside, Rory finds three mysterious boxes.

Rory approaches it and pulls one out, and opens it to find many A5 old-looking books inside; the three see and peek out from behind to see what is inside of this box.

Rory then picks out one and tries to open it, but before finding out what is written inside, a hand is placed on her left shoulder, which feels heavy and tight. She turns around to find Edward standing there manically with his hands on Rory and Liam's shoulders.

"What are you all doing? Edward said with the tone of a mother who caught their children stealing.

"I could explain, E-Edward…" before Rory could do anything, the door was shut down in front of the stuff they had brought is now on their hands, devastated,

"I told you, going around someone's privacy will lead to this," Estella said as she was about to leave, the two agreed on Estella's point and followed suit.

Rory is now the one left in front of Edward's with questions flying around her head and what was written in those books; she mumbles as she then decides to leave Edward's room for today.

As she left, Rory was determined to know more about Edward and those three mystery boxes, and she said as she returned to her respective room.

===

Edward sighed as he said it was a close call for that; he looked out from his window to see the full moon in the sky again. and it had stars along with it; it was a sight to see; it's good to know that the dorm and the school is located at the hill, it the reason why he can see the stars.

Edward decided to return to his seat at the desk and pick up his pen and write it down in his journal along the lines of This place sure is filled with weird and welcoming-minded people, period.

The book was then closed as the old man looked over beside his desk to find two photographs of Edward wearing a school uniform at the table, "Edward Althaus...." The man whispered with a deep tone voice of his.

He then turns around his office chair to find a telephone at the tabletop table; he picks the number up daily. It began to ring for a few seconds, and finally, someone picked it up.

"What do you want?" A women's voice speaks up from the phone, "I have an order for you to do something for me." Then said.

On the other side of the phone, there was a girl with her smartphone placed on her ears, she was on her way back to the dorm, but she stopped when she received a call from someone she recognized.

"I want you to capture, Edward Althaus, don't let me down, morte." That was the last line the man said, and he hung up the phone without reason; the girl knew very well why.

"Hey, sis, who are you calling there?" A girl who was smaller than her came right beside her and asked,

"It was nothing, and it is another scam," Morte said as she removed her armband on her left arm.

"Is that so..... Alright then, let us head back." Her purple hair younger sibling said as she followed her from behind as the two returned on their journey back home.
