Alicia used teleportation magic and brought us to an island. It was a wonderful place to relax. The air was fresh, and there weren't a lot of people.
"See that boy?" Alicia pointed at the boy who was lying under the shade of a coconut tree.
"Yeah, what's about him?" I asked.
"He's your enemy."
"But I thought we came here to relax. Did you bring us here to kill an enemy?"
"If you kill him, then we can relax," she said.
"Alright, just tell me what to do."
"Pretend that you're his childhood friend, try to win his trust, flirt with him if you must, just get close to him and find the opportunity to take him down."
"That's too cruel."
"Just do it."
The boy looked good and relaxed while eating a coconut. He stood up and threw the coconut shells into the trash can. I walked towards him, and we had an interaction. He was confused when I told him I was his childhood friend.
I knew it was a bad idea to pretend to be someone's friend when you actually knew nothing about them except for their name and that they are your enemy. I used prediction to know who he was. His name was Lil Ward.
Do I really have to kill him? The answer was yes, I have to kill him to free myself. He didn't believe I was his friend, so I revealed who I am and pointed the knife at his neck. But the situation didn't turn out as I expected. He kicked my leg and turned the knife at me.
"No, please, don't kill me," I begged, but he didn't listen. He pushed the knife to my chest.
Alicia came to my rescue. She used poltergeist and possessed me, saving me from demise. She got inside me, and there were two of us inside my body.
"What are you going?" I asked.
"Careless girl, you could have died if I didn't save you. Just hang on there; let me finish with this kid first before I heal you," she replied.
Alicia lit a stick and released a smoke that swirled around the boy. Then she brought us to a shack. She drank healing potions, and the wound on my chest recovered. She went out of my body.
"Help me tie this boy." She threw a rope at me.
"Aren't you going to kill him?" I asked, tying the boy on the table.
"No, not now. I still need to do something," she replied. "Leave here for now."
I went outside the shack. I looked around. We were in a forest. The birds were chirping. I wondered what Alicia was doing inside. She usually kills people right away. Did she get an interest in that boy?
Half an hour later, she still hadn't gone out yet. I felt uneasy, so I decided to get inside. When I opened the door, I was to find Alicia holding the boy's thing.
"No, this is not what you're thinking," Alicia said.
"I'm sorry for interrupting!" I closed the door. My face was red. I blushed seeing them in that situation. So Alicia likes young boys?
"Kaila!" Alicia followed me outside. "I told you, it wasn't what you were thinking."
"Then what's that all about?" I asked. "You old hag. You were trying to suck him, am I right?"
"You don't understand, and you don't have to. Let's just forget what happened and kill him already," she said, frustrated.
"You just don't want to talk about it, do you?"
Alicia didn't reply and went back inside the shack. I followed her. We were surprised to find that the boy was gone. I was confused about where he went. If he had escaped. We haven't seen anyone outside.
"Where did he go?" Alicia asked.
""I don't know," I replied.
"This is your fault, Kaila. You shouldn't have done that. Now, he escaped," she said.
"Why are you always blaming me, you old hag?"
"Enough talking. Let's find him. He couldn't have gotten far."
We heard the door thud. It seemed like the boy had used magic to conceal himself. We chased after him, but he was so fast that we lost him.
"You find him?" Alicia asked.
"Nope," I said, coming out from the trees.
"He doesn't seem to be an ordinary enemy. I remember we tied him to the table so tight, and I cut his ears. How could he escape in that condition?"
"I'm sorry, Alice."
"No, it's okay, it wasn't your fault. You didn't do anything wrong. We just took our eyes off him. This is the first time we failed, but don't take it to heart; I know you're capable of finishing this mission," Alicia said.
"Thanks." I hugged Alicia.
"It's alright now." She patted the back of my head. "There's nothing to worry about. The most important thing is that you're alive."
"He must be very strong. He didn't just hurt me but also escaped," I said.
"You have to train to become stronger. You have to be stronger than him, than your enemies, or else you'll die. And in that case, let me train you."
"I'll be under your care, Alicia."
"First, let's go back to the shack. I want to show you something," she said.
Alicia used teleportation magic to bring us to the woodland. We appeared inside her shack. The large pot was still boiling; smoke came out, spreading around.
"Something's wrong." Alicia rushed to the large pot. "Something's missing. Did I forget something?" She scratched her chin.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"That boy," she said. "He must have taken back his ears."
"But how? Did he take it out from the pot?"
"He's not someone to be taken lightly, Kaila. He's a beast. He could recover his ears. I should have been more careful in treating him."
"Will he ever come back?" I asked.
""I don't know, but I'm sure that we'll meet again. You have to train really hard so that next time we catch him, he won't be able to escape again."
"Um! I'll surely defeat that boy," I said.
