Two days have passed since school let out for the summer and Erza was still feeling uneasy about what was going to happen.
"I'll just go to the store."
With that she left the house and walked to the food market.
At the house
Rob had put his phone down then went to his room.
'The purge is going to start either today or tomorrow. I already taught Erza how to use a gun but at the same time she doesn't have what it takes to take a life from someone.'
He then stopped in his tracks when he heard something. He got his metal pipe and went to check where the sound came from. When he got downstairs he saw Eileen sitting on the couch with her legs crossed.
"Hey there, old man."
Rob blinked.
"Who are you?"
Eileen smiled at him.
"The Scarlet Despair."
"…"
"Tell me where the girl is."
"Not a chance."
Eileen stood up.
Suit yourself."
With that she left out of the house and Rob went back upstairs.
"I wonder how she got inside?"
He went to the basement after that.
Outside
In the car Eileen and Heine were riding again.
"Lady Eileen? Does that car look familiar?"
Eileen looked and saw a car passing them. Eileen saw the licensed plate and her eyes narrowed.
'Don't turn left.'
The car turned left and Eileen looked at Heine.
"We need to go back but go around the house."
"Yes ma'am."
With Erza
After shopping for food Erza went back home. When she got there she saw that her grandfather's cell phone was on the counter and was confused.
"Grandfather? Are you home?"
No answer.
Erza went to the phone and picked it up. Her eyes widen when she saw that there was an unfinished text that was for her.
Stay away from the house
Erza was confused then she got out her phone and dialed for her grandfather's other number.
After a couple of rings someone picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hello Mr. Jura, is my grandfather with you?"
"No. He went to get a few errands done. Is something wrong?"
"His phone is here but I don't know where he is."
"Alright Erza. Stay where you are. Lock all the doors and I will come get you."
"Yes sir, thank you."
With that the call was over and Erza locked all the doors and went to her grandfather's room. It was empty then she went to her room and the moment she got to her room she got a text from an unknown number.
Hello there
Who is this?
Are you still looking for you 'grandfather'?
Who are you? Where is my grandfather?
He's in the basement but he's not doing anything
Erza rushed to the basement door but got another message from the stranger.
I would advise you not to go in there
Why not?
How strong is your stomach?
Erza's eyes widen but she ignored the warning and went down to the basement. When she got down there her eyes were wide in horror when she saw the battered and bleeding body of her grandfather.
"No…."
She ran to him but saw that he was dead. One of his arms were badly bruised that blood was still streaming out.
"Grandfather! Please, wake up!"
She shook him but nothing happened. She then got another text.
For your safety come out of the basement
Who are you?
Erza had tears streaming down her cheeks then she left out of the basement.
When she got to the living room she saw that she got another message.
Good girl now continue to be one for just a little longer. I really would be displeased to hurt you.
What do you want from me?
I just want you
Erza wiped her tears away but saw that she got another text.
Don't cry my dear
Where are you right now?
Inside the house
Erza shot up to her feet and was looking around.
How did you get in? I locked all the doors
I know you did. I watched you from the closet in one of the rooms.
Where are you right now?
Look up
Erza looked up at a wall that had a mirror and she froze where she stood when she saw a tall woman that shared the same features as her standing at the bottom of the stairs, just a few feet away behind Erza.
Erza turned around and the intruding woman smiled at her.
"No need to be frightened, my dear."
Erza took a step back but pulled out a handgun that her grandfather got her for her birthday.
"Who are you? I will shoot."
The woman just smiled in amusement.
"Go ahead."
Erza pulled the trigger but nothing happened.
"What? But I reloaded it."
She looked at the woman who dropped all the bullets onto the floor. Erza couldn't believe it as she took a step back.
"What are you planning?"
"My plan was just to get you and get out of here."
Just then a tall man wearing a black suit came into the living room.
"Milady, the police have been called."
The woman frowned then went to Erza grabbing her by the arm. Erza tried to pull away but the grip from the woman was too strong.
"No! Let go!"
The woman stopped and pulled Erza close to her. Not in a hugging way but she put Erza into a head lock to knock her out. After Erza passed out the woman carried her to the care she came in.
"Heine."
"Yes?"
"I want you to get rid of any traces."
Heine nodded and went back into the house.
The woman drove away and as she drove through the streets that were far from the town she glanced at the sleeping Erza then smiled as she brought a hand to Erza's cheek.
"Finally, I have you with me again."
After a few hours of driving she arrived at her place that she was going to stay for the night. She carried Erza into the house and took her to one of the bed rooms. After doing so the woman stroked Erza's cheek then kissed her forehead.
"Good night, my dear Erza."
With that the woman left out of the room.
