Blink

Chapter 5: The Guardian's creed.

"I heard that Ryuuki!" the girl said, pointing towards Ryuuki.

"Is that him?" the girl paused, staring at me.

"Yeah, its him" Delai replied.

"I expected him to be a bit taller, or more muscular though" the girl replied.

"I'll like you to stop talking like I'm not here!" I said to the girl.

"So, he's a sensitive one!" she announced with mocking laughter.

"I really hate this girl" I heard Ryuuki muttering under his breath.

"Emma, I think that's enough, please leave!" Delai said to her in a stern tone.

"I'm so sorry ma'am" the girl said in a sarcastic tone walking away. "I'm Emma by the way!" she yelled as she took a right turn, disappearing at the end of the corridor.

"Delai, I think we should do something about Emma's behavior" Ryuuki said with a concerned tone.

"Yeah, I think so too, we've put up with this for too long. I think we should find out what she loves most and take it from her" Delai said with an enthusiastic tone.

"I was just thinking of beating her to frustration at training, but that works too though" Ryuuki said with a smile, extending his hand towards Delai.

"That also sounds like a great idea, we'll do both!" Delai said, shaking Ryuuki's hands.

It was really weird watching the two of them communicate well, after watching them disagree since they met at the hut, over something like hurting someone else. "Who are this people" I muttered.

"Well, we got carried away a bit, let's drop this dude at Vivian's office, so we can go and make our plans" Delai said walking towards the end of the corridor.

"I totally agree, it's been a really long day" Ryuuki replied, earning a nod from Delai.

"It hurts more that we'll need to go through this again... four more times" Delai said with a sigh.

"Exactly" Ryuuki replied.

We suddenly stopped at a circular door, an actual circular door at the end of the corridor. "Is it just me, or is a circular door not weird? It makes the entrance look like a safe or something" I muttered while Delai was knocking.

"I agree with you, we have begged Vivian to change this door severally, but she has refused to change it." Ryuuki said with an exasperated look.

"Delai! Ryuuki! Is that you?" I heard a voice say from the other side of the door.

"Yeah! We are also with the golden goose!" Delai said.

"What is that supposed to -", "We told you, we don't answer the questions around here" Ryuuki cut in.

"Welcome! I'm so glad you're all okay!" I heard a woman yell, overshadowing the loud creaking of the door.

"You must be Michael! I'm Vivian! Welcome to the guardian's creed" she said opening the door, motioning with her hands for the three of us to enter her office.

Vivian looked totally different from what I had previously envisioned. I had imagined her to be an old woman, with lots of grey hair and a bad temper. But she looked very different, she looked probably as old as Delai, only that she seemed nicer and not terrifying.

"You all should take your seats! We have to let Michael know why he is here, don't you think?" she said, pointing towards 3 seats in front of a large screen.

"Michael, thank you for coming here today, all of us are grateful. I hope Ryuuki and Delai didn't give you too much issues during the journey though"

"They actually-" I started, but I was cut off by the death glares coming from Delai and Ryuuki "-treated me very well" I completed. "How do these two stay with this woman?" I thought to myself.

"Very well then!" Vivian said, turning on the screen.

"Michael, have you heard of the word, or should I say the action, called Blink?" Vivian said, introducing a deafening silence into the room.
