Chapter 39

Day 13: Aldenham ,United Kingdom, Aldenham Independent Boarding School, Court Yard 9:30 AM

Nova rambled around the campus grounds trying to remain out of any administrator's line of sight. She was playing hookie today and was not in the mood of catching yet another week's worth of detention. She felt sick to her stomach; Sage was against Project Amnesia...what the hell? She hated to admit it but it, but when she thought about it, it had all made sense. Even from the beginning, when the two were nearly killed by those gangsters, Sage did nothing...

"Absolutely nothing..." Nova muttered to herself. "That bastard wanted us dead...How dare he!"

As far as Nova was concerned, Sage was dead to him, so much infact that Nova had absolutely no plans of going back to Notsuoh, not as long as he was there.

She whipped out her phone and sent out a text.

Shadow.

A couple minutes passed before she received a reply.

Watz erp?

Nova rolled her eyes. Even in her bad mood, she couldn't help but smile at his lack of grammar.

We gotta talk.

Huh? Ain't we talkinn write noow?

I mean face to face Shadow. Not in Icewynne either, we need to talk right now, ASAP.

Nova pressed send. She let out a sigh and watched as clouds of her warm breath drifted into the cold crisp air. Her fingers moved like lightning across the keypad, she dialed shadow's number and pressed the green call button.

"Hola"
"Shadow"
"Whoa holy shit it's you chica! Snow what's good!"

Nova blinked in disbelief

"Uhm...yeah it's me...why do you sound so surprised, didn't you check the caller ID?"
"Caller...ID...."
"You don't know what a Caller ID is do you."
".......No."

A sigh emitted from Nova's lips. Honestly sometimes Nova wondered what was this kid's GPA and IQ...perhaps she'll break into his school records and find that out later.

"Ugh nevermind, look, I gotta talk to you about Sage"

There was a long pause on Shadow's end.

"Hello?...Shadow you there?"
".......Yeah yeah I'm here. Uhm, you were saying."
"Look, you were right Shadow, all of your suspicions, you were right. Sage isn't working with us he's working against us."
"What?! How do you know?"
" I saw him Shadow. About an hour before we timed out. He was in the kitchen talking to this man, he wore this mask. They're trying to shut down project amnesia!"

Yet again, another silence reigned over the other line. Then, slowly Shadow began to speak.

"I. Will. Fucking. Murder. Him."

His voice was a lower octave than usual, it was void of any cheeriness he had once retained. Even over the phone, it still sent shivers down Nova's spine.

"Shadow hold on let's be logical-"
"No! It's obvious Snow! He's behind all of this, you said you saw it for yourself!"
"Well, yeah I did but-"
"There's no other question about it, he's a dead man. Those people passing out at the Harvest fest that was all him!"
"Whoa! Shadow calm down I never said that!"
"Calm down?! He tried to have you and Fox killed!"
"We don't know that!"
"What's there to prove that he didn't do it!"

There was another pause, except this time, Nova could hear the quick breaths emerging from Shadow's mouth. His rage reminded her of a dragon, blowing out smoke ready to let out a blast of flames at any moment. It was official, Shadow had gone insane.
