BXBX NOVEL Chapter 69
Chapter 69
"How about you move in with us?"
"Huh?" Ameria was genuinely surprised by Zach’s offer.
However, Aurora was more surprised.
"You are in our party, so it’s fair that you live with us, right?" Zach asked Ameria and turned to Aurora.
Aurora didn’t have any problem with it, so she nodded and said, "Agreed."
However, she was a little anxious. And it was natural for her to feel like that.
It’s not as though she didn’t trust Ameria, but it had only been two days since she met her, and she felt insecure about having a stranger live in her house.
But, she didn’t want to be a jerk and reject Ameria. It was true that they were at the same party so they should live together. It was time adequate, and they could plan out their expedition at any time.
Living together also strengthened their trust between each other, and they could get to know each other well. However, it could also help others show their true colors.
For Zach, it was similar to keeping a close eye on the enemy.
"Okay then..." Ameria smirked inwardly and uttered in a meek manner. "I will move in."
They entered the house together and looked around.
"It’s truly the same as it was in the other town," Zach uttered with a surprised look on his face.
Zach took the room closest to the door, and Aurora took the one beside it. While Ameria took the one in front of Zach’s room.
"What should we do for dinner?" Aurora asked. "I can cook. Or maybe we can eat out?"
"I want to eat your handmade cooking," Zach answered with a smile on his face.
Aurora’s face flushed after hearing that. She went to the kitchen and said, "What would you like to eat?"
They ate dinner together and went to sleep.
After an hour or so, Zach came out of his room and glanced around. Then, he slowly walked to Ameria’s door and placed his ear to listen, but he was met with silence.
Zach tried to open her door, but it was locked. He quietly knocked on the door and waited for Ameria to open it.
After some seconds, Ameria opened the door and looked at Zach from the creak. She was wearing a light purple nightdress.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Can I come in?"
"Umm... okay..."
Ameria opened the door fully, and Zach went in.
"So... why are you... here?" Ameria asked with a flushed face.
Zach sat on Ameria’s bed in a comfortable position and said, "Why do you think a boy would come into a girl’s room late at night?"
Ameria’s face flushed as she said, "I don’t know."
"Oh, don’t play dumb." Zach stood up and walked to Ameria before saying, "You know what I am here for."
Ameria walked backward while keeping her distance from Zach and said, "I don’t know what you are talking about."
"Oh, really?" Zach kept walking and said, "An innocent and meek girl, alone in a room with a boy at night. Just like a sheep and a wolf."
Ameria hugged her body and said, "You... you shouldn’t do this."
"Oh, I will." Zach cornered Ameria and uttered, "Besides, what will you do? How will you stop me?"
"You already have Aurora for that. Why are you here?" Ameria asked meekly.
Zach raised his brows and asked with a confused look on his face: "What are you talking about?"
"You are here to... assault me, right?" Ameria asserted.
"No, what the hell? What gave you that idea?!" Zach exclaimed.
Ameria glanced at Zach’s hands that were cornering her and said, "Do I even need to say anything?"
Zach wasn’t aware of what he was doing, and he needed work on his word choices.
"I am scared..." Ameria sniffed and looked at Zach with teary eyes.
"Will you drop this act already?" Zach said with a furious look on his face.
"I have no idea what you are talking about. And can you please... stay away. I don’t like when people come too close to me."
"Then why did you come here in the first place?"
"Because... you invited me..."
Zach’s face twitched in anger and frustration. He took a deep breath to calm himself down, but it didn’t work.
"Listen, I am asking you for the last time. Drop this act and reveal yourself, otherwise—"
Ameria interrupted Zach and said, "I am also telling you for the last time. I am not who you think I am. Please leave me alone."
"Three seconds. I am giving you three seconds. If you don’t reveal yourself in three seconds, then I will do something unspeakable to you," Zach warned Ameria with a fierce glare in his eyes.
"If you don’t leave my room in three seconds, then I will..."
"You will what?" Zach asked impatiently.
"Then I will scream," Ameria replied.
"What will happen if you scream?"
"Aurora will wake up, and she will come into this room. Then I will tell her you tried to take advantage of me by forcing yourself on me," Ameria threatened Zach.
"...!"
Ameria’s threat was indeed formidable. Zach didn’t want Ameria to do that. However, he had something else planned. He ran out of patience.
Zach conjured the fire sword in his hand and said, "Not if I kill you first."
Ameria face turned pale as she said, "Are you seriously going to kill me just because you think that I am someone you think?"
"Yes. What about it?"
"What if I am not that person? You will be killing an innocent girl," Ameria remarked.
Without flinching, Zach stabbed the fire sword in Ameria’s chest, and it came out from the other side.
Ameria looked at Zach with a disappointed look on her face and tried to say something, but her body fell to the floor as soon as Zach pulled his sword back.
"Don’t worry. We all will die someday," Zach asserted in a solemn voice and walked to the bed.
He sat on the bed and stared at Ameria’s lifeless body with an anxious and concerned look on his face.
