Chapter 37
When Eleanor Hillberg stirred, she felt a presence in her room and froze up. She recognized it. Slowly, she opened her eyes and looked at "Michael Grayson" leaning against the wall with "his" eyes half-closed. "You finally woke up..." Michelle said as she pushed herself off the wall. "I had to wait quite a while..." she added lazily as she concealed her presence even though she was standing right in front of Eleanor.
Eleanor stared at "Michael Grayson" in fear. She could see and hear "him", but "his" presence was nonexistent since the moment "he" stopped talking. For "him" to be able to do that, the power "he" possessed must have been so great that it surpassed the restriction. She and her brother's power got reduced to what the strongest person in the lower realm would have, but the person in front of her seemed to be unaffected, which showed that "he" had power so great that the restriction didn't work on "him". Even her father wasn't so strong as to bypass the restrictions.
"Who... are you?" she asked fearfully. "What do you want?"
But "Michael Grayson" just chuckled coldly and didn't give a straight answer. "I'm Michael Grayson, and you should be able to guess what I want if you are smart enough..." With that, Michelle disappeared. "I'll come back tomorrow. I hope you will tell me by then..." her voice filled with amusement sounded in the room.
Michelle appeared outside Eeanor's window, next to Mare and Snow, and snickered. "See..." she hummed lazily. "She's panicking... And soon, she will go to her dear brother..."
And just as she said, Eleanor soon stood up and went to Joseph Hillberg's room. "Brother..." she was clearly shaken and afraid of something.
Joseph wasn't stupid, so he understood that the person from the dark alley must have come to her. "Come sit down, first..." he led Eleanor into his room and let her sit down. And all that was being watched by Michellea, Mare and Snow.
"Brother, that guy from yesterday, Michael Grayson, came to my room this morning..." Eleanor whined as she sat down.
Hearing that his guess was right, Joseph frowned a bit. He was hoping that his guess was off. "What did he want from you?" he asked.
