Having trouble dealing in the mansion, she will learn that the manor is a victim of numerous trafficking by the organization 63.

Chapter 13 : The vanishing of

Lady Andrea

(Internal point of view: Valerian)

In the morning of good humor and finally recovered from my wounds, I go to work with Lady Andrea but when I arrive at his office, it is empty ... Strange usually Lady Andrea is up and already at work at this hour

- Lady Andrea? You are there ? I called her, she does not answer me, and Elena is not there either

- Oh Valerian ... You're already up! Speak to me my brother's voice, I turn to him who seems to have tired eyes

- Kirron, what are you doing here, you're not at the bar today? I asked him curiously, I see him sitting in the office of Lady Andrea

- Not today, I'll replace Lady Andrea for a while! I have a shiver on my back, and when I asked him why, he simply answered me coldly ...

- She's gone ! It felt like a stab in my heart, she left? But how is it possible? What happened so she left? I put my hands on my head so my heart is broken, my memory reminds me of the sweet moments spent with her from the day she picked us up on the street with my brother until yesterday when she told me caress your head after I've done my job perfectly. I feel the tears come in my eyes until I feel Kirron come to caress my head

- Come on, lose hope like that Valerian, if we do so, the White Manor will be lost, we must stay strong until the return of Lady Andrea, and then we also have Mr. Christophe with us! We must keep our courage! Kirron tells me with a confident look, I nod and then snuggle against him to give him a hug, he is surprised then he gives me a hug in return

- Come on, we have a lot of work to do today! He said to me, patting me on the shoulder, I nodded then went to my work to consult the different registers, even if thanks to my gift I know them by heart.

I sit in front of my desk and plunge into the records, but after 5 minutes I put the paperwork on my desk and then use my gift to read all the records that the White House has, it is faster and more fun for me, the many turnover scrolls in my mind then sees the one of this year which is always the same, if only we could have a little more money, we would be able to sink the business of the Organization 63 which even if they have a very high turnover, if they lose their customers they are ruined and that would put an end to our sufferings, but if only we could sell our goods by ourselves or that we have created a festival or show once a year, we would earn a lot of money. But if the Organization 63 learns, the restrictions will be very severe, as happened with our Project 63, the slightest provocation against them could cost us ...

All at White Manor no longer has the right to smile!

Suddenly, I hear footsteps coming to my office and I see Elena coming back

- Hello Elena ! I greet her politely with a smile, she does not have a happy smile either, she must have seen that Lady Andréa left, she gives me a small smile and then comes to sit at her desk to start her work with me, she looks strange this morning, is it only because of the disappearance of Lady Andrea? I think there is something else because she does not seem motivated and I see her collapsing on her desk with a long sigh, I approach her to put my hand on his shoulder

- Elena? Is everything alright ? I asked him amicably, she turns her golden eyes to me

- You're adorable Valerian, but I'm fine do not worry! Come on, we've got a job and Spandel is coming to help us, I have not seen his little head for a long time. She told me, I'm sitting in front of her.

- Elena ... We are colleagues and friend, you know that you can tell me everything, tell me what's wrong! I tell her in a reassuring voice, her eyes dive into mine then she comes to put her hands on my face then tells me that for a few nights she has been doing this same strange nightmare

- I'll show you ... Be attentive! She murmurs to me.

His eyes start to shine and then I feel a slight warmth through my brain, images scramble scroll in my mind: I see the White Manor invades the Organization 63, everyone clashes ... Lady Andrea and Mr. Christophe who are there to support us in the battle, then I believe myself in the place of someone else because I see myself in the company of my brother while we fight together against Jiro, it is then that in the distance, I think I see Damian attacking Jack, I see myself running towards them, trying to stop them, then all at once ... A gunshot sounds! A sharp pain invades me and I fall to the ground and when I fall, the ruby of a beautiful ring breaks on the ground ... This ring ...

I jump as I take my mind

- But it's terrible ... Do you think it's a vision? Or is it just a nightmare? I asked Elena, who seems confused, yet she is always sure of herself when it comes to visions or nightmares, she knows how to make the difference, she shakes my hand

- I do not know Valerian ... but the only thing I can say is that I'm scared ... very scared for us all! It is absolutely necessary that Lady Andréa come back and that it was made known of what I have just seen ... otherwise I am afraid that some of us do not run a great danger! She told me, I swallow my saliva.

(Internal point of view: Pandore)

Spandel was so nice to me, thanks to him all my wounds closed and I did not hurt anymore, but I found him a little strange when he saw me, as if he saw me as another person, but I found him very cute with his shyness. As cute as Jack, whom I consider my brother now. So I decide to go and take advantage of my two-day sick leave to enjoy the sun and try to find inspiration for my books, so I leave my room in my light green tank and my white pants and my bag filled with my writings, but when I go out I see that everyone is less happy than usual, they all look at me

- Oh Pandore! You are finally well, you feel better? The oldest woman in the house asks me.

I smile at her and then approach me to her while with incredible precision she folds the many sheets and at the same time she asks me to give her the key to my room so that she can recover my sheets to wash them, I him give my key without flinching

- Yes I feel much better thank you very much! Thanks to Spandel I am fully recovered! I replied amicably and with a smile, she smiled in turn

- Ah, my dear little girl, but we must be careful with the Organization. 63. These people have no pity, and I do not wish that my child should happen to you! So please promise me to stay cute and not get too much trouble okay? She said, I agree but in me I do not intend to stop now.

I finally go outside and sit on a bench in the garden to start writing while listening to my music. It is then that I feel the presence of someone then sees a shadow covering me the sun, I look up and I see Damian Hart who is in front of me with the smile

- Hi beauty! How are you ? He told me politely, I raise the eyebrows of surprises.

- Uh ... Damian, what are you doing at the White Manor? I asked him, he frowned and then grabbed my head gently.

- Hey, where has your politeness gone? I do not come as enemies, only to come get something, and as you were there I came to say hello, then the least things would say to me at least "Hello"! He said rubbing my head and unceasingly, every time his face is too close to mine, and I see that day he kissed me.

His lips were so sweet.

- Well, I'm sorry ... Hello! And what is this thing that you have to recover? I asked curious and that's when I think I recognize one of my books decorated in his bag where I write my first version of my stories before rewriting them on my computer, immediately I grab his bag to recover my book

- Hey! What do you do with my book in your bag? You planned to steal it? I shouted at him, then he grabs my hand and my waist gracefully

- Calm you see, that's what I wanted to talk to you about! Do you answer me with a smile?

- Oh?

He therefore takes my hands and then he tells me

- Of course ! It's hard for me to admit it to the organization but I must admit that I am very interested in what you write, I love your style and I would like to have the honor to be able to read your works, I would even ready to buy them if you want! I am very surprised to hear that to the point that I blush a little pride, and also because his eyes are immersed in mine, I dare not answer

- Would you like to buy them? You're sure, these are just drafts again and I'm working on ... the real ones that are on my computer! I explained a little embarrassed, I feel then put his hands on my shoulders and then he responds with a wink

- Well, I'm proposing something to you ... You let me take your drafts while you, you work on the new ones and when they are finished, you keep them and I'll try to find something interesting for you ! At least you'll be useful for something!

I make a grunt a little frustrated with his words, but on the other hand ... A little money would not hurt me, especially if I can coax the grandson of the head of the Organization 63 and the strongest of this organization with my books, maybe I could try to bring some benefits to Lady Andrea, I'm sure she'll be very happy

- Well it's ok ... How much would you give me for my book that you have there? And for how long do you want to keep it? I asked him. He thinks and then pulls out a packet of bills and then counts them, I've never seen so much money, he must have more than $ 1,000 on him

- And if I gave you 300 bucks to start? That would suit you?

- You put me 350 dollars and it's okay! I added by extending my hand to give me the money, he smiled at me while pinching my cheek

- Oh you're tough in business you! Very good 350 dollars, and I return it to you at the end of next week, I am very slow to read!

I take care to count the money then to return his smile, suddenly he comes to kiss my cheek, I blush extremely and I did not have time to add a word before it disappears in front of me, with this money on me, a big smile appears on my face as I run to the office of Lady Andrea to announce that I was finally able to help them out even if for now 350 dollars it's nothing.

But when I entered Lady Andrea's office ... it was empty! I recognized Kirron's jacket on the back of the chair, but why did he settle here, it's not his job. I approach curious and then see an open drawer with a book inside, like mine but much larger and with the first page of cover engraved in gold letter : My story ! Curious I browse some pages seem to tell a very sad story that I would like to read in more detail if it did not worry me as much, then when I come to the last page written because the others are still white, there are writings :

August 26, 2018 ...

I love my children so much, every day I write it because they help me to see myself as a good person, but nobody knows anything about my past or who I was before, and it's better ! However today I am not well ... Since Pandore arrived at home, many memories come back in my memory, I wanted so much to see her again and she grew up a lot, she is my portrait, I have I feel like seeing her in her younger, but she reminds me too ... Helen, who has disappeared too. My precious Helen, it was the same for Spandel who feels the same sadness as me, but at this moment ... That's not what makes me the saddest ... It's the memory of who I am who came back to me, during my confrontation against young Brooklyn, she was not wrong about me ...

I actually hide the horrible person I am behind a smiling face and in front of my generous actions and my love for these dear children whom I collected with, I saw them grow up and found again joy by letting express itself the gift he had had. It is this gift I am most proud, the happiness of my children! But today ... my sadness is too great and I do not want my children to see me crying so I decided to leave for I do not know how long and let the White Manor in the hands of Kirron who will certainly the one who will take my place when I'm gone ... So those who have read my words.

I kiss you hard and ask you to stay strong until my return!

Lady Andrea

I feel a deep emptiness in me to the point that I drop the book, Lady Andrea left ... but where is it? Why did she leave? But ... would it be my fault if she left ...? And who is it ... Helen? I do not know, I can not hold back my tears, I pick up the book while crying, then I see the pictures of the first time I met him ... she who holds out her hand to me to welcome, she who really wanted to see me and to keep me close to her. For her I was part of the White Manor, she helped me so much ... Why did you leave?

- Pandore? What are you doing here ? Did I hear Kirsten's voice behind my back, I turn to her and then she's surprised to see me in tears, she frowns

- What is happening ? Why are you crying again ? That's because Lady Andrea is gone is not it? She asks curiously, I shake my head while storing the book in my jacket and leaving the room.

- You know Pandore ... Lady Andrea does not wish to see us in such a lamentable state, if she is gone she has a reason, she will never leave us and if you believe that Lady Andrea is enough nasty to abandon us is that you have no heart! But before you leave, I wanted to ask you something, my black sword has disappeared and I would like to know if it was you who took it? She told me firmly, I say nothing and prefers to flee the mansion. And once out of the mansion I run through the gardens to reach the small street leading to the amusement park where I had fought against Naru ... Since I'm afraid to return but this time- I must go, I must find Lady Andrea!

I run to the amusement park where all the rides still remain, I call Lady Andrea while walking through the park everywhere but I do not receive any answers, my tears continue to flow while I call again and again Lady Andrea. I am desperate ... And clouds begin to invade the sky, a cold, bitter wind blows on my face as I fall on my knees on the ground, facing the ferris wheel

- Ah! I finally find you Pandore, I knew that I would end up finding you here! Speak Kirron's voice, who looks a little angry.

- Leave me alone ... Go away! I said, wiping my tears.

(Internal point of view: Kirron)

I sigh with exasperation at such stupidities, I cross my arms while caressing my forehead to avoid getting angry and I approach him

- I guess you're crying because of Lady Andrea is that? Pff ... so pathetic to get there, Lady Andrea will come back when she wants it that's all. There are times when one needs to be alone, at your age you should know that, Lady Andrea does not have to undergo your attachment and your selfishness every day! She is the one who leads us, the one who saves our life, and the one who gave us a second chance, and you take the opportunity to destroy what she did for us by putting the Organization against us when we we are already tired of this! Poor idiot ... When we are too weak to overcome an obstacle as big as that of Organization 63, we have no choice we must submit and continue to earn our living even if we are all subject to someone a. Me too it exasperates me this situation, but it's like that, so get it in your little skull and stop your joke trying to fight something that could annihilate you in a second! We have never asked you to save us, it is you who is too narrow to understand and tell you that we need your help, but sincerely for me your fight against the Organization 63 ... is absolutely stupid! I told her firmly.

I hear her still sobbing then she squeezes her chest before answering me

- I do not care what you think ... If you want to remain a slave, do it! I would save those who want it and for that ... I would do absolutely everything, so that Lady Andrea can be happy! I do not want anyone to suffer anymore! I grit my teeth angrily before grunting and grabbing her by the ankles to lift her and put her head upside down, she screams as I shake her.

- But stop saying such bullshit! If you want no one to suffer stop your stupid rebellion, you silly and hideous! I cried, she started to hit my legs with her fists.

- I don't care to be hideous and silly, I don't care what you think of me, I don't care! I do what I want, let me go Kirron ! She cries, continuing to hit me on her knees and half-legs, she is seriously starting to annoy me.

- As long as I'm here, you will not do what you want, believe me! I will watch carefully, here for now it's me who orders then you'll obey you hear me? I shouted, shaking her, leaving her upside down.

- Never ! She cries, fidgeting.

That's when she grabbed my left half leg and I felt it bite me through my pants, the pain is deep on my leg bone

- Hey, stop it right now! Let go my leg! I groan while moving my leg to let me go but she closes her teeth firmly on my leg, I then decided to let go of her ankles and then dropped it on the floor, she releases my leg with a big mark teeth even with my pants she managed to leave me a mark this carrion, I grumbles then throws me on her who lose a ticket lias fall from his jacket

- Hey what's that? I say recovering the tickets before her, she gets even more excited.

- Give me that, it's not for you! She grumbled, rushing at me, but I managed to block her against me by wrapping my arm around her throat so she could not run away

- Where did you get that money, you did not work this week, so who gave you that money? I asked her, she continues to struggle while scratching my arm with her fingernails.

- It does not concern you, give me my money, it's mine, I hate you Kirron, leave me alone, I do not love you, go you're nasty, you're just an asshole, you a real son of... she cries, here I seriously start to get upset and blocks her mouth so that she does not finish her sentence and tell her more strongly to tell me where she found this money, she continues to be so limited and refuses to answer me.

- I advise you to answer me anyway, if you do not want me to go harder! I threatened, but I would not do it just for her fear and end up telling me, at the same time she will reason. But that's not the case, she started biting my hand, I scream at the pain and then slapped her to let her go, but immediately she bit my shoulder like a real savage, there this time is too much

- That's enough ! I scream before giving it a blow in the neck as the ninjas, being careful not to go too hard. After the blow, Pandore paralyzes on the spot and ends up fainting in my arms, I sigh feeling the pain go, damn it is a real carrion this girl, I hope for her that she has not the rage and she does not try to bite me again, otherwise I swear this time I tears her head.

What is this girl annoying!

I sigh by carrying her under my arm, I still hear the words of Lady Andrea tell me that she is the one who will save us all, but also that Elena came to tell me this morning about his vision, it That's why I went looking for this idiot Pandore because Elena is never wrong, it is then that on the way I cross the road of Jack and Rochelle who argues in love but they are also sad for the disappearance of Lady Andrea ... Just like me!

- Oh Kirron, here you are ... But what happened to Pandore, she is stunned ...? Rochelle asks me worried seeing that Pandore's eyes turn so much she's dizzy, I sigh and throw her into Jack's arms

- Hold a present! Take care that she does no nonsense, I go back to my room! I told them, continuing my way, and even though Pandore is with them now, I took care to take back the money.

I will only give it back to her when she decides to answer my questions.

Questions ! Lady Andrea trusted me, and I would execute orders from the White Manor and Monsieur Christophe until his return ... Even if deep inside me, Pandore may have found a solution to help us!

But what am I telling? It's ridiculous ! I finally go back to my room where Annie feeds our animals, she greets me with a smile

- Annie honey, tell me you would have something for bites, there it stings a little? I asked her, she nods her head

- Oh yes, I certainly have something, why? An animal bit you today? I grumble discreetly and show the bite marks on my hand, my left half-leg and my right shoulder then answer

- Yes ! An animal named Pandore Scarsheld! I see Annie giggling before coming to hug me while stroking my hair

- Oh my dear darling, go sit on the bed I'll disinfect all that! She said to me when I went to the bathroom, I sit on the bed still annoyed to have been bitten by Pandore ... The next time I would pay attention to her teeth !

That's all for chapter 13 of Project 63, things are not going too well for our dear friends, hoping it will work out! In any case I hope you enjoyed this chapter, if it is the case leave me a comment, it will make me very happy, I make you all kisses and tell you very quickly for a new chapter! Kisses
