Chapter 21: Chapter 19- The Beginning (Part- 6)

At the Rosemary Banquet, at a little distance from where the celebration was being held, two enchanting beauties; one a little younger than the other one, were walking aimlessly on the vast and never- ending corridor with carpeted floor.

One of the beauty, who looked not a year older than thirteen, had a huge and innocent grin on her face as she was dragging the other girl.

The one being dragged had an expressionless face, her eyes having a bored gaze. It was clearly evident from her expression, how uninterested and unhappy she was with the current scenario.

As Aleina was being dragged by the over- excited little girl, she heard footsteps.

She immediately turned her hand around with which she was being dragged, and instead grabbed Chloe's hand which was holding her earlier.

"Wha-.."

Aleina muffled Chloe's voice with her hand and pushed themselves towards the wall in order to hide from the person approaching them.

"Shhh... Someone's coming. Keep your voice down as we don't know who it might be."

Aleina explained to Chloe with patience and in a voice as low as a whisper so as to not alert the intruder of their presence.

All this while when Aleina was patiently explaining her actions, Chloe just kept blinking her wide doe like brown eyes without making a single sound as Aleina commanded.

There was not a tinge of worry or anxiousness on her rosy fair face. There was only one thing and one thing only that was evident with her gaze, and that was curiosity.

Aleina, by now, was well acquainted with Chloe's curious gaze. She face slapped herself in her mind and thought,

'Oh god! This girl! Tsk! Just what goes on in that cuckoo brain of hers?! I bet she is having fun and thinking as if this is like a movie scene. Haa~ This is definitely gonna be a long night!'

Aleina's reverie was broken when Chloe started shaking her head. Aleina's hand was still muffling Chloe's mouth and that was precisely what Chloe was trying to point out with her eyes.

It was then that Aleina realised their current position, which was that of a kabedon*.

Chloe's back was pressed to the wall with Aleina in front of her. Aleina's right palm was on Chloe's mouth as she was trying to keep her quiet, while her left hand was pressing on the wall, right beside Chloe's face.

Chloe had a smaller and petite stature which was giving her an appearance of a weak damsel in distress. Aleina was taller than Chloe and her dominating aura made it look like a scene from a Japanese comic book.

After realising their current state, Aleina instantly retrieved her hands while maintaining some distance between them.

She was profoundly embarrased because of the state in which they were. She was alson a fan of mangas and comics like a any other normal kid.

After all she herself was just a teenager, and shy one at that. So it was no surprise that she was feeling awkward due to her earlier bold actions.

As Aleina was battling with her thoughts, Chloe had a playful and mischievous smirk on her adorable face when she saw Aleina's charming fair face having a rosy tint on her cheeks as she was blushing because of her earlier predicament.

She shifted closer to Aleina, removing the distance that Aleina purposely created and suddenly, she hugged Aleina's left arm while she whined like a small kid.

"Big Sis~ You are so cool. I loved your Kabedon. Let's do it again hmmm?~"

Aleina was already feeling conscious and jittery because of the earlier scenario. So when, out of the blue, she was abruptly hugged by Chloe, Aleina piercingly squealed and jumped like a scaredy cat which resulted in Aleina slipping and falling hard on her butt.

"Aaaahhhh!!!"

'This is so not what I had in mind when I agreed to come to the party.'

If that wasn't enough, right after Aleina achingly fell on her butt, Chloe followed shortly as she fell right on top of Aleina.

"DAMN!!"

Aleina cursed owing to the double impact. Her arched brows were furrowed in a frown as she was suppressing her pain, her eyes deeply shut while she was tightly biting on her rosy full lips as well.

Chloe, who fell right on top of Aleina, straightened her posture while still sitting on top of Aleina. She saw Aleina's scrunched up face and immediately started inquiring with her innocent and lovely voice,

"Big Sis what happened? Are you okay?"

Aleina opened her tightly shut eyes as she thought that Chloe would get too worried for her. She bit her lips a little more and tried to form a smile on her stiff face so as to not let the small girl worry too much.

With a heavy voice, Aleina thought to disperse the girl's worries for her but, in the next second she suffered another heavy blow when she heard Chloe saying,

"Oh! You might be worried for me. Don't worry I'm totally fine as you worked like a perfect cushion for my fall. Now stop lazing around and let's go find my brother. Get up!"

*Deep silence*

After hearing Chloe's piece, Aleina's beautiful face was now distorted with anger. If not bepain in her back, Aleina would have surely left her then and there owing to her high temper. She again shut her eyes deeply to suppress her rage as she thought.

'Aah!! God!! Is it too late to abandon her now? Aah~ If i spend anymore time with her, I swear I'm gonna kill myself after I kill her first. Ugh!'

*CLAP*

Aleina instinctively opened her eyes when she heard the loud claps resonating in the wide and empty hallway.

Her eyes narrowed when she was greeted with the sight of the two of the same nauseating men, who were molesting Chloe earlier.

She immediately scurried from the floor along with Chloe and took a protective stance by hiding Chloe behind her.

Both the men had a gaze full of lust when they saw the enchantress like Aleina, standing with a cold face making her all the more appealing.

They stepped towards the beauties in a relaxed stance like that of a predator catching it's prey.

Man 1: "Look what we have have here. Today must be our lucky day! We caught two fishes instead of one and the new one is giving me a hard-on with just her gaze. Oof!"

Man 2: "Let's get this over with. I can't wait to get my hands on them. You take the innocent one and I'll take this fiesty one!"

The perverted men rubbed their hands greedily as they stepped closer and closer towards the girls. With lust evident in their eyes.

Aleina kept walking backwards as the men walked closer to them. She kept thinking of a solution, of anything to save them but time was running out and she was out of ideas.

They were too far away from the Celebration hall so that they could scream for help. The hallway was extremely deserted with only one locked door there.

'This is it i guess. If this is what fate has decided for me then I'll die before I surrender to my fate.'

With this new resolution, Aleina closed her eyes as they reached the end of the hallway. Their back was pressed on the only door in the entire empty corridor.

"Goodbye World."

With this as her last words, Aleina started biting her tongue, in an attempt to end her life.

But what she had no idea about, was the fact that this is precisely where her new life would begin.
