Ephemeral

CHAPTER 8

Emilio's POV

After the chat,André went off as he was sleepy and so was I
I laid down on the bed on my stomach and closed my eyes
All I could see was Emilia
Uhhhhh....
But after some time I started drifting off with one question in my mind
What happened to you Emi?

I woke up with the sound of my Closer alarm tone.The first thing my mind lurred into was
Emilia
What should I do now
I had to complete the task for god's sake

I get up from my bed and did my morning routine.I decided to wear something gothic today so I went for some grey trainers and A black hoodie with words written

Wanna mess up? Nuh not in a mood

And also I couldn't leave without my signature black mask.

Today is the day
I'll meet my Emi
Not in a way I want but atleast I will.

I checked her location and found it to be near a school.It looks like a normal high school from the picture.But can't say anything untill I see my Emi.
One confusion striked my mind,how is this tracker active 24/7?Is it that they have installed it in her body??If yes then she is in a deep trouble.

Before leaving I wanted to have a last mirror check for myself so I went to the mirror and now I realised how similar my Emi looks to me. It's just me with long hairs and much fragile body. But her eyes, Rarest Emerald coloured, whose depth can't be defined. The only difference between us is our eyes. Hers is substantially Emerald but mine is Emerald witha few really thin rings of a bit off white barely noticeable.

I left my room and got the bows of all the guards. It's because of the rules here that the best fighter is bowed by everyone.And guess who's the one !

After scanning my eyes and voice recognition that was set up by myself,the garage door opened and there laid my dream collection of cars.I know it's pretty confusing to know that a 13 year old boy has a whole damn collection of cars but after you are forced to be the best fighter since the age of 9 and win all the ring fights,hacking competitions,street car racings,etc you get pretty rich.

I unlock my favourite Matte Black van and call for André to reach outside coz I can't drive while handling Emilia.

After a good 30 min drive and me being also excited and tensed at the same time reached the destination. We had to park the car far from Emi so that she can't figure out anybody's presence. I checked her location and tried to find her. After a min I found a figure walking towards the opposite street and it didn't take me a second to recognise her as Emilia. I started following her silently but after some time it felt like she was frightened about something and I knew that she would turn behind any second so I found the best nearest object to hide and hid myself and Voila!!My intuitions were right, Emilia turned back just after 15 seconds. I can't make my eyes believe that it' Emi
I'm seeing her in real life

She is more beautiful than in photo
But now I've got a closer look of her I sense that something has been going wrong with her and sooner or later I will have to figure out what.
I again started following her as she didn't notice my presence.But after a few minutes,she found out that I was following her but when she looked at me, for a split second her eyes become lighter!
Which not so surprisingly is my character,whenever I sense something different,the colour of my eyes turns a lighter shade.
It felt like she wasn't scared after noticing me but when her eyes followed their sight on the injecting pin in my hand, her face stiffened
