Chapter 63. THAT LUCK IS HALF FATE

Luke doesn't know, actually he is shrouded in what kind of bad luck. Abandoned by their parents, a father who doesn't know where he is, bullied because of rumors circulating, used to the point of being considered a betting item, stalked by strange boys, trapped in an unfavorable legal situation. Well , Luke will allow Mr. James Cameron to make his life story into a film, if he wants.

Back to the original topic, now there is actually another stalker who is big and, ready, he is at the end of this bed. Instead of just peeking at Valley who was sleeping on the bottom bunk, Gaelic actually bothered to go up half the stairs just to see him meet his scary eyes.

Luke didn't have time to see the time when he opened his eyes. To be sure, Luke suddenly woke up because he felt someone watching him. You know, it's kind of a living thing's basic intuition. That is when something stares at you intensely and you can feel it even if it is behind a tree or in a bush in a forest. In this case, the something is a person and it is not hiding behind a tree or in a bush, but is clearly showing itself underfoot. Impressed in the corner of the bed.

Unlucky.

Luke couldn't move. Can't even scream. Pale. choking. On the other hand, Gaelic also didn't move. Standing still, looking at Luke carefully. We were silent for so long that Luke wished Gaelic had made a gesture or two or some aggressiveness that would have awakened a nerve impulse and made him scream. But not. He was just silent and it was much more terrible.

After meeting eyes that seemed like hours, Luke tried to work up the courage to ask; " What do you want? — What do you want ? " However, his voice didn't come out on the first try so Luke had to clear his throat even though it was difficult.

"Wh-what…? You want to… do… what?"

Still. The Gaelic smile was still on his lips, but now he was speaking too. Give the response.

"I knew it…" his voice was cold and unnatural.

"What?"

"I thought it was you. Finally, I found you ."

Luke couldn't help but stare, while Gaelic climbed down the steps of the bed and went out silently.

That sentence. Those words, like he had heard them somewhere. If I'm not mistaken, those were the sentences he heard from the forest after the attack incident the other day.

So did the Gaelic have any connection to those freaks? With that guy who can turn into a wolf?

And talk about wolves; Ah… Luke suddenly remembered Jade Morrigan.

***

Jade Morrigan.

The mysterious guy he once thought was a scary stalker, has now turned into a crazy secret fan. Who said Luke was a Werewolf . Who sent a letter with just two sentences. Fucker.

Because of last night's incident, Luke was reminded of Jade again. Yeah, Luke didn't want to think that Luke missed him, so Luke also remembered his other friends. Amy, Rei, and Andrew. Well, Valentina Miller too. By the way, ever since Luke was here, neither of them had contacted Luke. Actually Luke wasn't surprised because it was written in the guidebook, namely to limit connections with the outside world except on a predetermined week. But, Luke still felt disappointed.

Then, as for last night's incident, Luke didn't tell Valley. Luke thought Gaelic was just after him. So he decided to ask the chairman of the room instead. A girl with blonde hair and used to be thrashing a gold shop. His name is Demiro.

"Dem," Luke called out to her and she immediately turned her head with an ominous look.

"You swear at me?"

“ No. _ I'm calling you. Dem. that's your name, right?"

"Oh… what's wrong?"

"I just want to know, do you always lock your bedroom door before bedtime?"

Dem raised an eyebrow, looking surprised.

" Well , of course. Why?"

"No… erm, do you think someone could sneak into this room?"

"Dunno. Did someone sneak in?"

Luke scratched the back of his neck "I think there is."

"You saw him? Who?"

"I'm not sure."

"Say. Is he from the boys' dorm?"

"No."

" So… ?"

"If I said that person was one of the caretakers, would you believe it?"

Unexpectedly, Dem's answer was like this, "Of course, trust me. Sammy…" he pointed to the bed of one of the pretty girls in this room, "... always gets visits from his girlfriend on certain nights to go out. Oh , you don't need to worry, Luke. This is normal, you think too much. Ha ha…”

You're crazy. Sometimes he laughs. But, it's useless to be surprised, because in this place everyone is a criminal. Troubled teenagers. Crimes such as breaking into people's rooms are not considered crimes. Perhaps it was considered a kind of personal visit. Damn it.

Instead of that, it's better for Luke to just feed the rabbits. Yesterday Valley found that the mother rabbit had given birth to five baby rabbits and now it was her turn to check. Not alone, but with two people from the other room.

" Oh my God … It's so cute. So small… "

"This is my first time seeing a baby bunny."

"Me too. Really adorable."

"But I think the babies are a bit worrisome. I'm afraid the mothers are crushing these babies."

Luke had forgotten the incident that night because he witnessed the innocence of the baby rabbits. The mother, although still looks protective, but she does not refuse to be fed. While chewing, the mother rabbit did not even look away from us. He seemed to be thinking, if he just turned his head away, then we'd take his kids. Animal intuition.

Finished at the rabbit hutch, we went to the pig pen. Ah, now every time I come here, the trauma comes back. Remembering how disgusting their droppings were and the 'cooing' sound that no longer sounded adorable, made it a little uncomfortable when feeding them. As a result, Luke forgot to close the stall door properly.

"Luke!" One of the two exclaimed. Pointing at something under his feet.

Wow, that's right! The piglets ran out through a crack in a door Luke didn't lock properly. Cheerfully, the piglets sneaked out of the cage and started to scatter..

"Catch them, Luke! Catch them quickly!"

Right. These pigs must be caught immediately or else Luke will be caught by the caretakers here.

Uh… these pigs run really fast. How agile. Every time Luke thought he would succeed, the pigs quickly dodged and sent him crashing to the ground, only embracing the wind.

"Luke! You block the pigs coming to the back gate! Ginny, you calm the pigs in the pen! I'll look for the one running ahead. Hurry up!"

Regardless of who was commanding whom, Luke rushed towards the back gate. Unfortunately, two pigs had already managed to get out because the iron bars of the gate were wide enough for the piglets.

Ah… Luke is so lazy, but Luke still has to chase after him. Because if Luke came back empty-handed, the caretakers would still know that some of the piglets were missing and they would punish him. So, he decided to climb over this iron gate and jumped. The pigs were seen still having fun running away, heading to… to… O-oh, what bad luck.

Luke had forgotten that this place was in the Maple forest area. Luke had also forgotten that there had been a terrifying attack from a group of people that had emerged from the forest. Luke also forgot that Luke shouldn't have gone in there.
