Venom’s POV
Elora was kept under investigation and was restrained from every other person in the pack. Time was going and we still hadn’t found Maya. I was running out of options already and the least I could do is examine all the reasonable clues I had.
“Has she spoken about anything yet?” I asked Atkinson who had been in charge of keeping her in check all through the time she was held down.
I couldn’t bring myself to go to her after all I knew, but I still didn’t trust her enough to let her go and I had to have people do it.
“No, she hasn’t even reacted. She seems pretty calm like she isn’t even in prison or anything. Too strange, I’d say.”
I wasn’t able to do anything further and left with the search party again. We were already travelling far and wise and the case of the missing mate was becoming a big story.
We had made it up until different points we could go to, but there wasn’t anything to lead us further. Maybe a clothing, something she left behind or even connections between the two of us. Nothing was coming forth and it was frustrating.
“Let’s return, everyone. We’ve done enough for the day, we shall resume other duties soon and give up on this.” I told them as the search was monotonous already and it was like Maya had disappeared from the surface of the earth.
I was already making preparations for her things to be kept elsewhere, away from the house but treasured for me because she was important to me.
Fighting Maximum felt like it would bring me all the revenge I desired and deserved after everything I went through. Elora had been sought to help with the search, but even she couldn’t do anything and the bag was still being analysed.
I arrived at home where it was silent as usual since everyone was gone and I was the only common member of the family that stayed.
The rooms had been locked up sort from mine and Maya’s, Elora’s too was open.
I took a few steps and hesitated, I sighed for a bit, everything felt like I had been running around a circle and going to the room again felt just as disappointing.
I walked close to the door and was about to open, but just at the last minute, I changed route and went elsewhere. I went to the bathroom where I would later have a bath. Washing my head and trying to calm myself down from all the stress.
I returned back to the room soon after and I prepared to lay down, the workers were still around and had done their job well in making the place neat.
Something was odd when I stepped into my room, I could hear distance sounds coming from the room beside me which was Elora’s. I was surprised, no one was inside the house.
I tiptoed out and tried to hear for any speeches, but there was nothing apart from ruffling of things which I couldn’t even make out at the time.
At the door, I peeped through the door hole and it was like I was seeing a ghost. It was Elora, right in the flesh. She looked different from what I had seen earlier at the prison or were there two people?
Before I could make a move to confront her, she disappeared, but with the bag. I was finally getting the pieces of my puzzle together. I got infuriated that she had escaped, but there was still chance to catch her since she wasn’t aware that I was on to her.
The house went back to being quiet after that incident and I made the extra effort to check all the rooms quietly incase anything was occuring just like I had seen.
There would be a next step and it would be to install cameras that were not visible. I picked up my phone when I entered my room and rang a number, it was Alex.
“Hey there, bro.”
“I need help, extra security for the pack house.” I told him.
I could already sense the question before he would reply on the call, “strange things have been going on, that’s why. Can I get it done right away? Maybe before night time.” I added in the narration.
” If it’s that urgent, I’ll get it done right away.” He replied to me.
I ended the call and waited for the arrival of the service company that would be putting the cameras in place. I wanted everything done as quickly as possible so as not to throw Elora off her boots if she came back.
Her finding out would cost us. I went to the room and slept for a bit, later in the evening, I got notified that the people were around already.
I got everyone to look through the environment thoroughly incase there was a chance that Elora came back, but the whole place was empty and operation began.
“What’s going on, brother?” Alex came to me.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“I found out something strange and I just want to know how long that has been happening for.” I answered him.
“What happened?” He asked.
“Elora was here, picking up things and ruffling her room in urgency.”
I saw the expression of shock on his face as his pupils dilated and his mother changed form. “Really? I thought she was kept in prison.”
” Yes, she was but she seems to be able to get in and out through disappearing and I can vouch that who I saw this afternoon wasn’t the same person we locked up.”
” I guess we should have seen that all along since she’s a witch.”
I had to leave the conversation to show specific areas where the cameras would be placed. They were quite tiny and could easy be ignored if seen.
If there was a chance that Elora had a hand in getting Maya to be missing. The cameras were the sure bet and more tracing of the witch’s doings.
