Chapter 25: Getting Closer to the Truth
When Camellia opened her eyes, her vision was all blurry. When she sat up, she held her head.
My head... She thought then she looked around and notice the area was unfamiliar.
"I see you're awake, Miss." someone said then Camellia gasped. She saw a butler then she quickly stood up but her legs felt weak and she fell.
"You shouldn't stand up so sudden, Miss." The butler said then he helped Camellia back onto the sofa she was lying on.
"Ummm... Who are you...?" Camellia asked.
"Alfred... I serve Master Bruce along with young master." The butler said as he handed a glass of water to Camellia.
"Oh? You're awake." Robin said as he comes into the room. The butler Alfred bowed and left the two alone.
"Robin..."
"I'm so glad you're okay. You passed out and I took you to my place."
"So... Wait... You have a butler... And this place is very huge... That must mean you're..."
Camellia turned to look at Robin then he gulped and became still.
"You're some rich boy!" Camellia said in a surprised tone then Robin fell to the side.
"Uh... Yeah, that's exactly what I am..."
Whew... Dodged the bullet there... Robin thought then Camellia stood up and looked around.
At night, Robin made Camellia stay in his room. The brunette sat up and sighed softly. She turned to look at Robin, who was asleep.
I can't sleep... Camellia thought then she saw something at the window.
"Teekl!" Camellia said with a whisper, then she opened the window. The cat meowed and rubbed her head against her arm.
"I'm glad you're safe. Where's Klarion...?" Camellia asked then she suddenly heard a soft whistle. She then saw the witch boy floating in the air.
"Klarion!" Camellia said then the boy came closer to the window.
"Come on..." He whispered as he held his hand out. Camellia looked at his hand then she was about to grab it, but suddenly something quickly cut through between the two of them. Camellia turned and saw Robin holding his batarangs.
"Robin...?"
"We're going now!" Klarion said as he grabbed Camellia and Teekl and vanished.
"Emma!" Robin shouted as he stuck his head out the window.
At the top of the highest building, Klarion appeared and dropped Camellia down gently. The brunette girl turned around and looked at the witch boy.
"Klarion...?"
"I know you were gonna kill that boy... Phantom."
Camellia's eyes turned light blue then she grinned and laughed.
"Always the nosy little brat, aren't ya, Klarion...?"
"Just doing my job. Now that I figured out all the pieces... I have no reason to keep you alive." Klarion said as he held his hand up. The phantom chuckled then looked at the witch boy.
"Do you really think you have the guts to take me out and keep the girl alive?"
"I know what you did to that boy... Was this all part of Thumper's plan?" Klarion asked then the phantom shrugged his shoulders.
"Who knows? I don't follow that rat's orders. I just do what I wanna do..."
Klarion growled then he held his hand but suddenly, something hit the witch boy's hand. Klarion held his hand then he and the phantom turned their heads and saw Robin.
"Release the girl... Now!"
