"That's worth hundreds of dollars," I talked to myself. My face is all crumpled while staring at the shattered glass on the floor. It didn't really bothered me. Yeah, I'm not bothered yet in this state.
I'm more bothered about the fact that someone had escaped from the Vortaxia. That sly wolf! He acted passed asleep. Diante was right.
"We should let Diante open the portal," I said to Damon. He approacched the window and try to find traces on where the wolf has gone. "God Diante will be punished if someone knew about this." I furrowed my brows while trying to think of possible ways to bring that wold back.
"We can only open the portal once," he replied. I heaved a harsh sigh. He's right. Diante made that clear to us.
"God Hlaford gave us two days to finish this mission," He looked directly in my eyes. "we have to find the origin of this seashell no matter what." He grabbed the only clue in his pocket and glanced back to the window. "Then we'll get back to him."

I changed into human clothes but I have a hard time finding Damon clothes to wear. It's not like I keep men in my room. I don't have men clothes here.
"Will this fit you?" I asked and show him my largest shirt that I happened to buy online but got the wrong size. He stare at the shirt for a few moments before shaking his head.
"I can barely fit my arms there," he commented. I chuckled and put them back in my closet.
"Stay here. I'll try to get clothes in Tanya's room," I said to him and close the closet. He clicked his tongue and give me a puzzled look. "She doesn't lock her door. I'm the only who does." He didn't answer.
I walked out the door.
I'm the only one who locks my room in here. It's not that I don't trust her. The last time I left my room unlocked, she and her boyfriend mistaken my room as Tanya's and did their business there.
I had to change my beddings for Pete's sake. Their mess ere everywhere.
I wasn't surprised to see the house empty. She's gone to parties especially at this time of the year. She goes to beach parties to be specific. I frowned when I saw how messy the house is. Dishes are left to rot in the sink. There are dirty clothes everywhere. I can't distinguish the smell of the house anymore.
This place is a whole mess.
"You can go out," I said loudly. Enough for the guy inside my room to hear. I heard the door opened and close. My eyes landed on the shoes beside our entry door.
I give the door three knocks before turning the knob.
I sighed in relief when I saw her empty room. It's messy just like the rest of the house but hat caught my attention are the clothes hanging on her half open closet. I walked towards it and check it.
"I found you clothes. I'm sure this is clean. You can use this," I said and turn my head to look at Damon but my eyes widened when I saw guy staring at me strangely.
"AHHHHHHHH!" I screamed so loud that Damon came running to rescue me.
"What the hell!" the guy blurted. He takes his headphones off and frowned at us. Damon blocked himself in front of me. The guy is still staring at us like we're thieves.
Wait. I think I've seen him before.
"What are you doing in Tanya's room?" he blurted. I could sense Damon's body temperature increasing already. I immediately grab his hand to calm him down.
"I know him," I whispered. "He's human." I diverted my eyes on the nerd looking guy again. I don't know if y'll can remember him but he's one of Tanya's boyfriend that I was expecting to be kind at least. But nah.
He tried to get in the shower while I was taking a bath and even left me hurtful words. I should have punched him that time.
"I'm Tanya's housemate," I introduced myself. He arched his brows. "You're Josh, right?" I asked. He pursed his lips like as if he's trying to remember if we've met before.
I rolled my eyes when he suddenly smirked.
"Oh yeah. You're the odd girl," he stated. Josh landed his eyes on Damon who looks pretty annoyed right now. "You got yourself a boyfriend, huh?" he scoffed. I squeezed my eyes shut. He's not supposed to provoke Damon.
"I'm Josh. I saw your girl's body when she was taking a shower. You're lucky man. She's pretty hot," he taunted making my eyes grew big. I looked at Damon who looked pretty upset on what he just heard.
"He looks like he needs a taste of hell," Damon whispers to me. I shook my head immediately.
"We can't cause trouble Damon! We still need to finish the mission and find the wolf," I whispered back. He throw me a short glance and back to the taunting guy in front of us. He has an annoying smirk on his face and if it weren't for our mission, I would peeled his skin off already.
"Just ignore him," I said bitterly and starts to walk passed him. He even check me ot from head to toe in spite of Damon's presence. I know that he's just holding his anger inside as what Diante trained him to do.
"He's such a dick," I hissed. I didn't see him when I first check the room. If I only knew that he was there, I wouldn't step a foot inside.

I forced a smile when I saw Damon coming out of the room. He looks so good in everything he wears. It's just a simple plain shirt and pants but he's looking like a high paid model. The black shirt is emphasizing his albino self more.
"Should we go now?" I asked.
He stares at the door before giving me a stern look.
"I'll get back to him once we're done in this mission," he remarked. I just nodded my head. He looked so angry inside and I don't think I can no longer subside it.
I have the seashell in my pockets. We just need to ask around if they've seen this seashell before and it will lead us to the place. Mapheus encircled a specific covered area only and it happens to be where I live.
There are tons of beaches in my place but I've never really had a chance to enter one. I don't like parties like what I've said before.
"Our first stop is to Haeyu Beach," I told him. He looked at the map I'm holding. This is also given by Mapheus. He encircled the list of beaches for us.
*****
"Do you guys have this seashell inside?" I asked to the man guarding the entrance of the beach. He checked the shell on my head and shook his head.
"We don't have that here."
I blew a sigh. The hotness of the weather isn't helping at all. I was about to go back to Damon when I saw girls circling him like he's a celebrity.
"These bitches," I murmured. I marched towards him and shove the crowd away. They started gossiping and give me death glares. How dare them get near him wearing almost nothing but those tiny bikinis!
I pulled him out of the crowd and he followed me submissively.
"Are you jealous?" he asked. I glared at him and he voluntarily zip his mouth off. Isn't itt obvious already? Why does he have to ask me that freaking question. Argh! I can fight all sorts of monsters but these whores are the worst!
"Next stop is Laguna beach," I said in a cold voice. He looked at me innocently as I patiently wait for a taxi.
"Baby," he called but I ignore him.
"Baby I'm sorry. You told me to stay there remember? I would have left already but your words are important to me too. I was just following you," he explained himself. I bite my lower lip to hold my smile but I failed. He holds my hand and put his chin on my shoulder.
"I love you," he whispered sweety.
"Shut up."
