My Last Hunt

Class Test 16

Lowa was confined in the building. She had argument with her father. Her father forced her to stay and learn how to behave like the daughter of Lord Beast. Lowa was in her room. She cried whole night. Her father left a beast on the door to keep strict eyes at her. Lowa was unable to escape from the building. She was sure that once she escaped the building then she would be able to leave this cursed place. 

Her eyes were tired of crying and the day opened up. Now she was only thinking how she could skip from the eyes of the beast. Her heart was blaming her for the last decision she made. Lowa left her mother crying and the fate reversed on her. She was crying here for her childish and wishful decision. 

Lowa sat on the bed ready to see if the beast was still at the door. She did not fix her tattered appearance. From the last night conversation she was able to see hatred in the eyes of her father. He was no more the affectionate father of her memories. 

Lowa could no more keep telling that she would be able to change the mind of her father as he was Lord Beast not the hunter anymore. Her efforts were worthless in his eyes. "Before my hope die down, I should find escape path." She murmured to remind that she should go back and apology her mother. 

This was the only way to wash away her regrets. "I am pitiless child of my mother. I did not care her wet eyes and her pleadings. I deserve to face this cruel behavior of unknown hunter, until this times my father." She wiped her cheeks and walked toward the door. 

Lord Zim sent the assistant to follow behind the beast so there was no one at the door. He did not appoint another because he was sure that is daughter would no more try to escape. The black walls of the disgusting building would never be able to force Lowa for staying here. She was determined to leave either dead or alive. 

Lowa sneaked from the door. There was no one. She was thrilled to immediately leave. Lowa came out from the room. The opposite direction was better choice while the straight one led towards the Lord space. She decided opposite direction and walked. Soon it was apparent that she lost direction utterly. 

The paths were confusing. None led outside or any sings of outer places. Then at the end of fourth turn, there were small rays of light coming. "I should go search the source of light." Lowa was sure that this light was coming from outside of the building and she wanted to confirm. 

She saw the terrace from afar but could not move since someone was coming from the frontal part. The aura was so much aggressive and unrestricted that she felt her breathing stifled. The Black Keepers were moving near the terraces. Once in every now and then they move about to check whether things were going normal. 

Qiao was about to enter through the terrace when he felt that aura and stopped. With his enhanced senses he could tell the level of the beast and the type of beast race. The Black Keeper beasts were different from other beast races. Normal races grow up with the set standards however Black keepers were not bigger in stature to begin with. 

They were mostly around the normal human stature however they were powerful. They remain in dark and attack. They were aggressive and tyrant. The black keeper immediately noticed the presence of the girl however the token hanging on her neck was shining. Lord Zim ordered her to wear this token. 

The token was the sign that the girl was living in the black building with the permission of the Lord Beast. She was spared for this reason. Qiao was able to cover his aura which created some suspicion. The black keeper surveyed the surrounding and after making sure that it was another beast that flew past the building, the black keeper turned away. 

Lowa breathed in relief. She saw the black shadow leaving. Seeing that her token was shining at this moment brought some comprehension of the situation. Lowa walked however the shadow suddenly appeared. "Are you here to die." The busy voice threatened her. This was direct warning that if she tried to take one more step she would be killed. 

Lowa stiffened her heart and walked back to her room. This first strip let her see the escape path however next time she should not neglect the presence of those shadows, thinking this she dragged her feet toward the room. The shadow left. This part resumed the usual silence. 

Qiao was waiting outside completely reserving his aura. He heard the threatening voice and understood that the black keeper was still there. Lowa thought to return back some time later. Presently no one was standing at the door and it was golden chance for escape. 

Qiao entered through the terrace. This path was unknown from the one Hiko guided him. He wished not to confront black keeper. Qiao was not afraid to cross path with the black keeper, he could actually however it would bring emergency situation in the building. 

However if he was destined to confront then be it, thinking this he chose a path and carefully treaded along. Lowa also returned to put another attempt for escape. From the straight path toward the right, everything was silent and normal. Qiao felt that he perhaps lost the direction or the blackness of the entire building was confusing. 

Another black shadow was moving toward the residential spaces of the council members. The responsibilities were divided and those black keepers survey whole building thrice in a day. Other than the fixed times, it was by fate that if they confront some intruder. 

Qiao hurried to move away and remain hidden when he spotted the silly girl. He was stunned. Both ended in front of each other when the threat was moving toward them.
