Chương 25: Secrets

Lucas stopped, not continuing speaking, while Allison was eagerly waiting for him to finish. There was a brief silence as the two looked in each other's eyes, then Lucas decided not to tease her anymore.

"To believe it, you need to see it with your own eyes, otherwise you'll take it as a joke." This time he said it in a serious voice. Allison, seeing that he would still not tell her, gave up and rolled her eyes at him.

"I think you're enjoying this, aren't you?" Lucas gave her a smile, not denying her accusation. To be honest, telling her would not amount to much; she's only going to think that he is crazy. She needs to see it. To be honest, he would not mind having another hunter on his team. But not one trained by evil bastards. Well, not like some of his actions would be deemed appropriate by some saints. This is why it would be good to have someone who will have his back, someone who could save his life someday.

Then he shook his head and looked at Allison, who was still in deep thought.

"Do you have anything to do later?" Allison was stunned by his question, then responded in confusion: "I have several other classes."

"Let's go do something; this way you'll stop thinking about all these secrets," Lucas added.

"But… I can't skip school…" she replied hesitantly.

"Don't worry, it's just a couple of hours. You can tell the teacher that you don't feel good." Seeing her still thinking about this, he got up and grabbed her hand, pulling her towards the teacher's office. The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. Allison was not expecting this; she looked at him pulling her, then at their hands tied together.

She felt like her heart was trying to break away from her chest, then when she looked at Lucas again, a brief smile appeared on her lips before quickly hiding it. Soon the two arrived at the office. He gestured for her to go in; Allison helplessly nodded, having no choice. After a couple of minutes, she came back, then the two of them left the school building. As the two were approaching the car, Allison suddenly asked curiously: "Why didn't you also ask the teacher for permission to leave?"

Lucas looked at her, then gave a smile as he replied:"I don't really have someone who can bother me if I break the rules." She looked at him in silence, not knowing if he was really happy saying that. Looking at her expression, he had some idea of what she was thinking. He didn't really want to think much about this subject; the only thing that he misses is his real parents. Lucas then stopped thinking about this. He approached the car and got in.

Allison looked at him briefly, realizing that even though he seemed unbothered, his usual smile had disappeared. Then she quickly entered the car. Once she was in, Allison asked curiously: "Where are we going?" He briefly responded: "My house." She was stunned by his response. As silence remained in the car, Allison could not stop thinking about what they were going to do at his house. She then thought of something.

'It can't be…' Allison quickly shook her head. While Allison was having an intense struggle in her mind, Lucas gave her sneak peeks from time to time, smirking at her misunderstanding. After a few minutes, they arrived. Then they left the car and walked towards his house. As soon as they approached, Allison noticed that there were a lot of people working on the house. She turned her head towards him and asked: "Are you repairing your house?"

Lucas smiled at her question, then nodded as he replied:"Something like that."

"Follow me." He gestured as he began walking inside; Allison quickly followed him, staring curiously at his house. Lucas then led her to his room. He put his backpack on the table and pulled all the books from it. Lucas looked at Allison, who seemed a little nervous, then approached. Allison's body tensed for a second before calming down; she watched him approaching her. Then Lucas grabbed Allison by her shoulders; her eyes were panicking, then before she could realize it, he sat her down near the table.

"Could it be… that you've thought of something naughty?" Lucas lowered his head as he whispered in her ear; Allison felt his breath tingling her ear. Then he let go of her shoulders and spoke: "I will go get something, and then we will go." Lucas then walked away, leaving her alone in the room. Allison watched him leaving, her hand raising and touching her shoulder in deep thought. After a few minutes, Lucas returned, but in his hands was a huge bag.

Allison looked curiously at what he brought, then asked: "What is that?" Lucas put the bag on the table, then gestured for her to get closer. Allison curiously looked over, watching him slowly open the bag. When the bag was finally opened, and Allison saw what was inside, her eyes widened in surprise.
