Chapter 428

"How did you get the money?" Funny how I thought of Money now he've gotten the fruits for me.

"I must have gotten it when I went to scout my room," Blondie takes my hand in his, and gently led me to the inn he talked about.

"Now all we have to do is stay here and hope my brother gets my message early." Blondie placed the bag on the bed.

Because of security reasons, we only rented a room. That way we all can be together if something is to happen.

"What if he's not around?"

"According to all I heard in there. Brother will be here, am quit confident about it. "

I munched the pink fruit, my face turning into a grimace.

" What's this?" I frowned at the bitter tasting fruit.

" That's the Ude fruit. It's a medicinal fruit that doesn't taste as much as it looked."

" I don't want to eat anymore," I place the half eaten fruit. My face etched in a frown.

Ije and the other girls tried to stifle their Laughter, but I still heard it.

" That's why I got this one for you," he brought out the back he got the fruits from.

Turns out he only bought one of the pink fruits because he knows I won't like it when I've eaten it.

"You're a darling," I pecked him on his cheeks, and proceeded to eat my delicious fruits.

A day turned to two, and yet his brother haven't come for us.

Blondie like us have started having doubts of his brother ever coming for us.

"We will have to leave sooner or later. We can't continue staying here. It won't take long before we're caught." Ije who have all along not being in tune with the idea of waiting for Blondie's brother said.

" I guess he either didn't get my message or he was stopped by Father."

" Either way we can't stay here waiting forever for him. We have to get moving before the masking scent finally fade," Elit says in support of what Ije said.

"We will leave tomorrow after we've had breakfast." Blondie said in agreement to their words.

"Where are we going to if we leave?" I ask him. 

I've gotten really tired of all this moving about. I don't think I can endure it for long before I snap. All this walking and dodging can't be all that good for my baby.

"If brother had come, we would have known yeh situation of things, and it would have helped us in knowing where exactly Reddy is, but since he's not here. I guess we will have to go back to Habigalima.".

"Why are we going back to the academy?"

" Where's Habigalima? " Elit asked. Based on the looks on the other's face I can tell they too don't know what Blondie is talking about.

"That's the place we were studying at before we started this survival run." 

This is really a matter of survival. We're running in order not to get caught.
