Chapter 6: Secret Plan
“You’ve finally come, No. 13.”
The girl wore an angelic, sweet smile under the silver moonlight.
She leaned over slightly to reach a hand out towards the boy, her slim, snow-white wrist looking like cream under the warm, dim glow.
The boy stared at the hand – the hand that was slowly moving towards him – and without the slightest bit of hesitation, grabbed hold of it as though due to a supernatural force. He borrowed her strength to pull himself out from the gutter.
“What are you…you all doing here?”
The boy shakily looked at the girl, then at the four others behind her that were wearing identical white gowns.
“Shhh, lower your voice.” The girl pressed a finger against her lips, blinking her large bright eyes as she quietly stated, “We’re plotting a secret plan here.”
“Se-secret plan?” The boy gulped anxiously.
A chuckle escaped from the girl’s lips as she pulled him by the hand towards the other four. “No. 13, you’ve arrived just in time; we were halfway through our discussion. You’re welcome to join.”
