Chapter 42 This Kiss
Still Drena's POV
No one is here. Claire is not here. So many things have happened today but what dominated my mind is Claire, if what I saw is real then she must be here, but she wasn't.
Where would she go then? Was I hallucinating that moment? But, how did Xenon brought back to life? She must have done something about it! But how?
I think I'm going insane! Adrian just confessed his feelings for me. And I've been thinking unbelievable things. I'm getting crazy!
Claire is very confusing... She's like a robot wearing only one emotion and that is plain blank, not even considered as an emotion! She moved slowly like a typical girl looking like an angel so innocent but something tells different.
She was beaten up but it was like nothing to her. She was always out at night, I don't know where! But every night I woke up, she's gone, and then she's here in the morning. So creepy!
But I don't know what's happening to me, I just let her. I'm afraid that if I know something about her, one day she will just disappear.
That's why a big part of me believe that I saw her earlier, it was real! I believe that she came to save Xenon, I don't know how she made it, but I know she won't just let Xenon die. I saw her got angry at the restaurant when Daniela touched Xenon and I know she's building feelings for him.
Adrian told me that some part of the wiring in the electricity was cut. And I believe she set it up, when I came in, Lucas was sleeping and as his friend in that kind of situation, he wouldn't fall asleep. I believe she made it. Who are you, Claire?
If what I believe is true then, Claire has incredible strength!
Students from this school are coming from different places in the world and there are so many people with incredible strength. Most of them are unknown and with hidden identity including the most feared person in the entire world. The heir of the underground, The Silencer. And it's so impossible to be her.
The Silencer will never go here, there's no reason for that person to be here. Or death will go to this school and blood will flow. The Silencer is a monster and Claire will never be. Maybe she belonged to the strongest people, maybe she belongs in one of the most feared gangs. Maybe.
But I know one thing, I don't wanna lose her, I don't want to lose a friend of mine, whoever she is.
And Adrian... I can't get him off of my mind, he's still in here, in my heart...

Venice Claire POV
I woke up at 4 in the morning, I decided to go to the girls' dormitory and get back to sleep in my bed. 6 am I prepared myself for the class.
"Claire! Cassy! Let's eat!" Drena yelled from the kitchen.
"Coming!" Cassy yelled back.
We walked towards the kitchen and take our seats. The breakfast is so silent. Suddenly,
"Claire, where were you yesterday night?" Drena asked in a soft voice.
"At my house." I simply answered, then she nodded for understanding.
"Did you ever come to this school?" She asked in curiosity.
"What are you saying Drena? Of course, she did not, she was still at her house probably sneaking at her parents." Cassy said stating the obvious.
"Oh yeah, I'm sorry... I thought I saw you yesterday." Drena looked down on her plate.
"It's okay." I continue eating.
"Xenon is fine now," Drena stated while eating. I nodded.
"Yesterday is miraculous! Xenon died and then he came back to life as if nothing happened!" Cassy explained beaming happily.
"That's good." Yesterday...
"Aren't you even glad? Or just at least react sad and then happy. Or at least smile!" Cassy said like she wants something to happen. I can't, I don't know how...
I ignored her, then I sensed Drena glared at her "Okay fine, I'm immune." She throws her hand in the air.
The breakfast ended well and now we're on our way to our classes.
The two are constantly talking about what happened yesterday.
"What do you think is the reason he tried to kill Xenon?" Cassy asked which made me halt my senses and focused on them instead.
"I don't know, I've been thinking about it too," Drena answered, thinking deeply.
"Who's the guy?" I suddenly asked.
"It's the guy in the restaurant, I forgot the name but Coby said it yesterday..." Cassy stated while patting her finger in her cheek remembering the name.
"It's Bernie, Bernie Santos but they already killed him," Drena said while staring at me intensely.
I looked straight at the way, she might be thinking I will do something about it. Which is true if that person is still alive, I'll kill him. Why would I kill him? I don't know why...
I nodded. Bernie Santos, his name also belongs to the Classified Files of Mr. Baron. That Bernie is also working for him. If Xenon is working for him then why would he try killing him? Which happened twice...
I know Xenon and his friends have their hidden agenda on why they are working for that man. Revenge or so. I don't know, I have to find out.
"Does Adrian have a sister?" I asked Drena which made her immediately looked at me.
"Adrian? No, he does not." She suddenly answered shaking her head. "He's an only child." Then she looked down. Only child... I remember myself as one...
I nodded. We've already reached our separation path.
"Girls! See you at lunch, okay?" Cassy reminded while running on the way to her class. We nodded.
"I'm going Claire," Drena stated and looked deeply into my eyes "Whatever is that you're doing, take care okay?" Her eyes are filled with concern. I nodded once and she walked away.
I'm walking towards my class when I smelled him. He's here.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed my wrist tightly. I just let it without looking, his dragging me towards an unused room nearest to my spot.
When he let go of my wrist, he caged me in the wall using both of his arms and stared deeply at my eyes...
He leaned closer to my ears "I'm awake, where's my kiss?" He whispered in his deep husky voice as I felt him smirked.
My heart is beating too fast, I don't know what to do, I'm glued to my spot covered by his enticing scent. I'm clouded.
"What kiss?" I asked blankly looking at his oceanic blue eyes that held me captivated.
He's staring at my lips, then suddenly my eyes traveled to his when he licked his lower lip seductively or I just think it was seductive? Those soft lips.
I bit my lower lip then I felt his hand on my chin putting his thumb in my lower lip pulling it from my bite slowly. He pulled my chin up to face him.
"This kiss." He said almost in a whisper as I felt his soft lips against mine again! This time I was shocked! Lost. Sparks flows down all over my body as his lips moved slowly and my eyes closed on their own.
