Chapter 3 (First Part)
With an assured gait, she sways from left to right, she leans on the wall and begins to climb it quickly. Without being noticed by its appearance, it is only the fresh wind that emerges after her passage that anyone could have noticed her.
She jumps to the other side of the window and turns to the ground. She quickly gets up and faces her.
"I arrived at my destination."
La rose célèbre widens its eyes and forces itself to remain neutral. "Who is this walking being?" She wonders without daring to say it out loud.
The young woman walks up to her. She puts herself at her level and stares at this rose.
"from what I hear, you’re too much here."
At ease, she puts her hands on the recluse’s basin and lifts her from the bed.
"A little fresh air, please."
The stranger runs towards the window, she crosses it and remains neutral when she falls several meters high.
Lenore also knows how to be small despite the adrenaline. However, it is not that her body restrains itself from shivering with terror or even from turning pale.
“Will I be free again? Is this the beginning… the beginning of a new life?”
As the famous rose takes flight in the distance, supported by this unknown with masked face, a completely different silhouette joins this floor.
“If I’m not mistaken, Justin told me about the second last floor.” He sighs and turns to the only door on that floor.
"So it must be this one." He smiles and opens the door easily. "Without a key. I’m surprised. It’s not secure enough." He gets tense and looks around for a moment. “Rose célèbre.”
Step by step, Desmond walks into the room, looks at the bed at the back and stops.
“Is it the rose room?” He bows his eyebrow and stomps his foot to the ground. “No, I must have got the wrong room..”
Still relaxed, Desmond turns his back to the room, closes the door after him and leaves the floor. He goes up to the one above looking for Lenore.
“Justin must have been wrong. He must have said second to last instead of last.”
Once at the last step of the stairs, he sees the door in front of him.
“It wasn’t yesterday’s room. The den of a pervert.”
Immediately, a long shiver of disgust runs through him and he wiggles and turns at once. He grimaces at once and holds back from vomiting.
“He must have said before… before the top floor and, I must have confused.”
Unsure of his mistake, Desmond finds himself quite quickly on the floor above.. He takes one of the three corridors and goes in search of the protégé.
At the end of each corridor, a door is located, hiding the access to a room;
In the first corridor, the door led to an abandoned dining room. The second corridor has a double-turn closed door and the last corridor has no doors.
“What’s the point of this corridor? It has no doors or rooms.” It turns on itself and looks up and down this corridor. “it leaves me more perplexed than my difficulty finding the rose.”
Tired and disturbed, Desmond leans against the wall. Involuntarily, he pushes one of the bricks of the corridor and reveals a large opening.
The wall shifts silently and leaves a glimpse on a dark corridor.
“From one to ten, what is the probability that the famous rose is hidden in it?”
Curious, Desmond crosses the passage and advances along the corridor. After just a few steps, he loses balance and feels himself falling along several steps.
“Stairs! So this is my chance.” He screams in frustration, unable to stop in his fall.
While the young hunter begins to doubt his new promotion less manageable. On the territory of the Heavenize, a serious subject is approached.
“You know what day it is,” begins Kenneth seriously.
Zelo takes a strong inspiration and sits on his chair.
“Folks. The turning point is coming. Our alpha has hit a nerve today. He’s playing big and Justin’s probably not going to be lenient.”
“Each of us already has some responsibility in this plan. We can’t let him fall on that.”
“It is obvious that Leroy’s idea seems daring to me, but he has been planning it for a while and so far, everything is being built as planned. We are ahead.” Kenneth stands up and looks at the silent alphas around them. “News of Rosyne and the rose.”
The front door opens loudly and leaves a view of an approaching feminine silhouette, dressed entirely in black.
“La rose célèbre is safe. As agreed, no one will harm her or approach her.” Rosyne says in a firm tone.
Zelo jumps from his chair and approaches Rosyne.
“What an idea of Leroy to do this. The girl is saved. She is now one of us.” He declares with possessiveness.
Kenneth rises from his place in his turn and joins them. “ This pettite belongs to none other than his own personen.” He gives Rosyne a vague look. “You are the beta of the supreme alpha. Could you explain what he’s up to about this child?”
“It must be believed that at times even the second beta of the supreme alpha has no answer for everything.” She steps back two steps and gives a vague look to the rest of the alphas. “I will keep you updated on what matters. According to my alpha’s orders. And please don’t go near the famous rose.”
Having nothing to let them know, Rosyne turns her back on them and walks away.
at the same time, a manly voice resonates in his mind;
'Have you done what I expect of you?' asks Leroy
Rosyne swallows her saliva with difficulty and unknowingly nods her head. “Indeed. The famous rose is at home.”
Leroy approves in turn of slight nod of head out of satisfaction.
“Perfect. She must not disappear from view. It is an important element of this revenge.”
“Leroy. It’s not just about revenge, no. There is justice to be done to victims.”
“Is there better justice than the sweet smell of revenge?”
Rosyne stops in her steps and looks at the large house located further from the temple.
“For now, she’s alone. Wouldn’t that be a little dangerous?”
Leroy laughs. “Don’t you think I’ve thought of everything. Just do what I tell you. Your part of the mission doesn’t follow here. Join Andrew in the territory.”
Rosyne se met en position de course et disparaît aussitôt des regards, dégageant un fort vent après elle.
