Tania was already ready and waiting for Bryan in the living room. She was wearing the new clothes given to her by Bryan which was a white shirt with jean trousers and a pair of white sneakers, it all felt foreign to her but she knew she had to get used to it for now.
Bryan was soon out and immediately picked his car key that was on the table.
He stopped to take a closer look at Tania.
"What? Didn't I put it on the right way?" She asked, stretching her fingers.
"No, I'm just surprised by how well the clothes fit you."
"Thank you," Tania said.
Bryan gave her a warm smile and then turned towards the door leading to the hallway to see Leo standing there.
"Please stay indoors, don't open those doors till I'm back." He said.
"Ok," Leo said.
Tania noticed that the middle-aged man wasn't his usual self that morning as he slowly walked to the couch and sat down.
'He must be worried about how his family is doing.' Tania thought.
Leo was the breadwinner of his family although what he brought home each day wasn't that much, it still helped in solving some problems and now that he wasn't around to do that, the thoughts of how they were going to cope were going to be worrying him a lot.
On reaching outside Tania could see a black SUV parked beside the house, she didn't see it yesterday because everywhere was dark.
"You have one of these?" She immediately rushed down the stairs to get a closer look at the car.
A car was something new to Tania, she had been seeing it since they got here but she didn't exactly know what to make of it, everything seemed so unreal to her.
"Yes, Do you like it?" He asked.
"It's awesome." She said,
"Glad you like it, now get in, we have a long day ahead of us."
Tania followed the way Bryan opened his own door and opened hers without any problem.
Immediately she got in, Bryan helped her shut the door and the car immediately zoomed off.

After the return of Michael and Luis, things had gone back to normal in the school again, Van was still locked up as Nicole and the other staff was waiting for Kelvin to return.
Luis now had some breathing space away from all the fights and was heading to the library now.
"Hi, Emilia," Luis said, walking past the woman without even waiting for her to reply.
He walked to the special bookshelf and pulled the book on top which made the secret monitor room.
Micheal was already there looking at some of the footage from around the school when he wasn't around.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"She really put a lot of effort in searching for us," Luis said.
He was now standing behind Michael while watching the footage of Nicole's first search with the soldiers around the school.
"Yeah, your friends care about you too," Michael said, pointing out the four students who were helping in the search.
"Yes, not sure about Silvia though."
Michael didn't reply as he kept on watching the random footage.
"I really need to set up something to block the demons' teleporter from having access to this place," Michael said.
"Can you do that?"
"Yes, I need to do it ASAP, can't believe there were two attacks of about two hundred demons each while we were away."
"Everything was planned by the old man," Luis said.
"He started his attacks when he thought I was gone but he had underestimated the people he was dealing with."
"Yeah, where is he now?"
"He's just locked up for now. We are waiting for your principal to return." Michael said.
"Have you paid him a visit?"
"No, he's probably gotten the news that I'm back, I just want him to wallow in fear for now before I show myself to him."
'That's a mean way to torture someone.' Luis thought.
"We should get going?" Luis said pointing at the spot where the teleporter had appeared last time.
"Yeah, give me a minute, let me make some adjustments on the teleporter," Michael said, tapping his foot on the floor three times.
'I wonder if that only works on his feet?'
The teleporter rose up from beneath the floor and Michael picked some tools from the toolbox on the floor and immediately got to work on the teleporter.
Luis sat down on the seat there as he was going to use the free time to check something out.
[ Profile ]
[ Name: Luis Miles ]
[ Race: Angel ]
[ Grade: Normal ]
[ 100/100 HP ]
[ 100/100 Energy ]
[ 760/3150 EXP ]
[ Level: 15 ]
Luis was really glad about something and that was his hp which had doubled after his evolution.
There were also other things to note about his profile since his evolution, first, he now had a grade.
'I guess that has to do with the type of Angel I am, just like the beasts on that planet.'
The second thing to note was the addition of an energy bar, he tried to get some information about the energy bar from his system but he wasn't getting any response.
'That's great, you always fail to provide information on the most important things.'
There was one last thing Luis was very curious to check out, he had only seen it this morning.
[ Shop Available ]
"Hey, I'm done," Michael said.
'I guess I'll check that out later." He said.
The duo stepped on the teleporter together and were covered by the usual white light, they soon found themselves in the open field outside the school.
Ella was standing a little distance away from them and came sprinting towards them after she turned and suddenly saw them standing there
"You know when you told me that someone else knew your secret, I expected it to be one of your roommates," Michael said.
"Hi Luis, I didn't see you coming." Ella said, she then turned to the person who she didn't expect to be here. "You brought our instructor?"
"Yeah, he knows too and I think he deserves to know," Luis said. "The more trustworthy I have by my side the better."
"And how are you sure he's trustworthy?"
"Hey!" Ella turned to her instructor with a furious face.
Ignoring her, Michael decided to go straight into business.
"What did you say you wanted to try out?" He asked.
"Yeah," Luis said.
He walked a little distance away from the two and looked around to make sure nobody was secretly watching them.
'Something's different about him.' Jasmine said.
'Yeah, his skin looks smoother.'
'No, not that something….'
[ Flight activated ]
[ -50 Energy ]
Immediately after receiving that message, Luis felt a throbbing pain on his back as it felt like his backbones were trying to push themselves out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ahhhhh!" He groaned as he fell to the floor with one knee.
"Luis!" Ella wanted to rush to him.
'Wait!' Jasmine tried to stop her but it wasn't only the ancient being trying to stop her as Michael also had his hands in front of her.
"I don't think he's in trouble," Michael said.
As someone who had a vast knowledge about Angels, he knew what Luis was going through.
'Why does getting good things from you have to be so painful?' The Angel thought.
He felt the worst pain as he felt something break out from his back ripping his shirt in the process, it didn't take him long to discover that it was his wings as they were soon flapping on their own, taking him a little feet high.
'I knew it, he evolved.' Jasmine said.
Luis was reviving from his pain and took a peek at the wings.
"I'm just glad they are not white." He muttered.
"Among all the wings, you had to get a black," Michael said.
"Is there anything wrong with wings?" Ella asked.
"No, just saying I prefer red."
"I think I like black better."
The two looked up to see Luis right above them, his wings slowly flapping.
Now that they were seeing the wings up close they could really see how wonderful it looked.
The wing was streamlined with the edges looking like untrimmed bushes. Looking at the wings closely now Michael could see that it had a thin white line running through the middle.
'I've never heard of that."
"Try flying higher," Ella suggested.
"Ok,"
Luis flew a little higher but not that much as he couldn't push himself further again.
[ You have reached your limit, you cannot fly beyond this extent ]
'I knew that would be the case here.'
Instead of flying higher, Luis decided to fly a little distance into the open land, but he was a little floppy in controlling the wings on where to go. The only thing that the skill, flight did was to keep him afloat like starting an engine but everything else like controlling and directing the wings was done by him.
'These wings are awesome, they feel just like an extra pair of limbs.'
He flew a little distance and decided to come closer to the ground a little bit and that was when he spotted something up ahead.
On getting closer Luis discovered that it was his three wolves but one of them was lying on the floor while the other two were beside it.
