for as long as I was awake. For a second, I made a guess that Harumi kidnapped me, it would've been a ridiculous guess if Harumi wasn't actually an undercover assassin.

Though, she must've done something to me. Because her being an assassin wasn't the first thing that came to my mind when I saw her. Instead, the scene where she kissed me on the cheek replayed in my mind whenever I look into her eyes. I felt myself burning up at the thought of it, ignoring the other side of me screaming: No, dumbass! Don't fall for her, she's a goddamn assassin! For all we know, she might also be working for the so called 'Lord'!

"I have suspicions, but I'm not sure. Because I simply woke up here with you." Harumi leaned against the wall. For someone that claimed she didn't intend to be here, she was surprisingly prepared. Harumi wore a jungle trekking suit, considering everywhere laid tall trees just outside the cave. Her white, smooth hair was tied up into a bun and her waist wrapped an armoury belt that probably contained daggers and other useful tools when one goes into a jungle. Her trekking boots were clean and polished, she looked so professional compared to me.

I was still in my jumper and jeans, what I wore to school. My hair looked like a bird's nest. So much as so I wanted to be embarrassed.

"Let's get out of here then." I stood up and gazed towards the opening of the cave. That's when Harumi grabbed my wrist and I felt myself heating up again.

"Hey, leaving so soon? Let's explore this cave for a bit, I'm quite interested." Harumi held onto my hand, she looked around the cave, as if really interested in its dirty, mud-coloured walls.

"I don't think that's a good idea..." I stated. I glanced towards the deeper part of the cave, it seemed to stretch on into the darkness. If we were to go in, I doubt we would be able to even navigate our way out. So that's exactly what she proposed. I freaked.

"What? It's so dark in there! We won't be able to see anything! Much less make it back out here!" I exclaimed. Usually, I wouldn't be scared of things like a dark cave, but I had to put in my act. I had to make sure Lloyd and Green were both different people.

"It'll be fine, Lloyd. We'll just go in, take a quick look, and come back out!" Harumi gave me a reassuring smile and I glanced back into the darkness again nervously. I wasn't sure why Harumi wanted me to tag along, she could've just gone in herself. Unless she's gonna lead me inside and then stab me in the back with one of her supply daggers like: Ha! Fell for it, didn't you? I'm actually an assassin and I'm killing you for no reason.

Though I doubt that wouldn't be likely.

Before I could give her my clear response, she grabbed me again and pulled me, "It won't be long, I promise!"

Again, she just dragged me along as we went deeper into the cave, as if my legs didn't exist. And again, I just let her do so.

Great, I'm not gonna be home anytime soon.
