House of Secrets
Chapter 6- The Unknown Number (part2)
Cab
The next day at noon
Elena's PoV
I just signed out of the hospital feeling better than ever. Not only did my scar stop hurting, so did my heart. While he stayed with me at the hospital, he asked me out before we fell asleep and of course I wasnt gonna say no, even though we still dont know eachother very well but that will change quickly.
So now Jerome and I were in a cab on our way back to the house and its sad that the ride is short cuz then we will have less time together. We decided to keep "us" a secret until this whole thing died down.
I leaned over and set my head on his shoulder and he wrapped an arm around my waist and I could see the driver looking through the mirror and smiling at us, so I smiled back. The ride was over too soon in like five seconds I saw the front of the house. Jerome got and gave me a hand out.
Then I walked over to the drivers window and paid then walked over to Jerome and we walked up to the house and as we entered someone pulled me into another bone crushing hug. And before I could scold Aunt Trudy, my phone went off. My eyes widened when I saw who it was.
I checked the message.
"Welcome home" The Immortal
"Jerome" I whispered and he came over and read the message. I glanced around to see if anyone was watching me and Jerome must have saw how scared I was because he put a protective arm around me and hugged me to him. And this helped a litte.
Trudy asked me if I was hungry and I told her that I ate before I left the hospital, which is true. She just smiled and gave me a kiss on the cheek and went to serve lunch to the others. Thats when I grabbed Jerome and pulled him to my room.
"Whats the matter Elena, you look more scared than I feel" Jerome said with his voice full of concern. He was so sweet and right now, he is the only person I can trust.
"I just need to know who this mystery guy is, it seems that he knows everything that I do and it scares me. I said with tears that I could feel spilling from my eyes. Jerome walked over and held me tight.
Then he let and looked me with a look so serious. "I think I know who it is, his name is Rufus and he is mad at all of us for almost tricking him out of the potion of imm..." he trailed off and I knew why. He thought that I didnt know about all the stuff that happened here, but I do cuz I dreamt it before my parents told me about the school.
"You're talking about the Rufus who kidnapped Patricia and wanted to Cup of Ank to give him immortality right?" I said but I didnt get an answer right away because he just stood there with a shocked expression on his face. So I decided to put him out of his misery.
"I dreamt about all of this before I came here and I dont know how that happened, it just does all the time, its like I can see into the future or something"
And in a few minutes he calmed down and went back to normal. Which was good cuz his face was starting to be a little creepy.
"Thats something that we need to figure out, how could you see something before it happens?" I thought to myself for a second, maybe I could follow Fabian's book on Egypt and see if there is anything in there, so I could just ask the whole Sibuna club.
"Well thats something to worry about later, right now we need to find out if the Immortal is really Rufus and if he knows that Fabian gave him the fake potion of life or not, ok?" I asked him hoping he would just agree with me.
"Okay, so lets go eat first, im starving" and this made me laugh.
"Boys are always hungry Jerome"
"I know but Im even more hungry, hospital food just isnt good at all"
And that was that. Jerome and I walked over to the dinning room hand in hand. And at that moment nothing mattered.
