Chapter 25: SLEEPING BEAUTY
Henry was released the next day, Emily had told him that he would be supervised for some days to make sure he was safe. Since it was Saturday, he wouldn't need to go to school but he was too tired to go to work either.
As soon as he got home, he phoned his boss who suggested he should take the whole month because he was leaving the country. Thanks to that, he now has a lot of time to plan what to do if he wants to save May.
The whole day was boring, which was a little surprising since Henry loves staying at home, but today was different, May was out there, somewhere, and if anyone found her before him, she'd be killed.
He decided to go to the park and wait till the evening.
As always, the park was peaceful, the perfect place to clear his mind. Henry stayed till it was dark before finally going home. Maybe he can meet her, he followed the same road that he first met the demon that transformed May. According to the family, she never came home after that night. That meant she was still somewhere.
Henry suddenly remembered when May's tears fell on his face.
_She was really... crying. There must be a little bit of humanity left in her._
Henry walked home slowly, dragging his feet on the road when he sensed something following him but he couldn't tell what.
_Maybe it's just because of my awakened technique_ Henry smiled to himself. "I can't believe I'm able to use my technique in a real fight, but since then, I've been getting this weird feeling"
A cooled wind blew past him, he could still sense the present. It might be one of those supernaturals who said they were going to keep an eye on him but if they are following him that mean he won't be able to find May so he started to run, dismissing the idea of looking for May.
After the park, there were some buildings, then nothing but a clear road leading to the next town. Luckily for Henry, after the buildings, the person won't be able to follow him if he wants to stay hidden.
