CHAPTER 3
New Friends
*DARA POV*
The bright light from the window blinded me for a while. I looked to my right and saw Trevor. He was sleeping and was bandaged all over. I looked at my own body and saw that I was also covered in bandages. But who cleaned our wounds? For the first time, I looked at the room we were in and saw that it was white and clean. No one was in the room with us so there was no one to ask.
I checked myself if my magical powers had already replenished. I can feel the magic but it was still weak.
I heard footsteps outside the door and quickly closed my eyes and pretended to sleep.
"Are they awake yet? We need to ask them some questions about where they came from." A short old man said to a white haired beauty.
"Not yet. Master, I think we should give them some time before we ask them any questions." Said the white haired girl.
I heard Trevor groan from the right and immediately, my eyes shot open. With incredible speed, I was already by his side holding his hand before the two other people in the room can react.
"Trevor, are you alright?" I said with tears in my eyes
"H-hey…. That's the second time you asked me that question." Trevor chuckled.
"Shut up! How can you laugh in that pathetic condition? You're bandaged all over and almost drained of magical power. Would you want me to h-" I stopped when I saw his eyes flash with warning. Then I remembered that we were not alone in the room. Slowly, I looked back and saw almost all of the guild members watching from the doorway and some others inside the room.
"The beast's smell is stronger now. Be alert everyone." Said a big man with piercing all over his body.
*sniff*
"Actually, I think I know where the beasts are." Said a pink haired boy while lighting his fist with fire. "Who the hell are you and what are you doing here?" he shouted.
I looked at Trevor and the state he was in. He can't fight right now and the same goes for me as well. But for him, I will do anything…..
I glared at the boy, knowing my red eyes are glowing like ember. "If you do as much as touch a strand of his hair, I will not hesitate to fight you."
"Him—Dara, calm down. They helped us. At least show some gratitude." Said Trevor in an angry voice. Telepathically, 'We'll make it look like I'm the one you're protecting and not vice versa. This is to protect your true identity. Will it be okay?'
'Of course. But I don't have to pretend in protecting you. I will protect you. Just do what you think is right. I trust you and I will always do.' I answered also telepathically.
"I'm sorry, Trevor–sama. I'm sorry dear sirs and ma'ams. Tell us what you want us to do to express our gratitude." I said bowing before all the members. It kinda hurt my pride to do that.
The master of the guild smiled kindly and stepped forward. "You don't have to pay us or anything. All you have to do is honestly answer our questions and join this guild. Only if you want to…" he trailed.
I glanced at Trevor for confirmation. He nodded almost imperceptibly.
"Of course. That's the least we can do. Thank you…"
"My, my… Why don't we start the questioning?"
