Adopted Soldier

Chapter 256

While everyone was having a difficult time outside, the people in Lyner’s safe room were looking around the place . They turned on all the lights, and their first impression of the safe room was that it was like a presidential suite in a five star hotel . The ambiance of the place made the people inside momentarily forget what was happening outside .

After the initial shock of seeing the place, the group inside the safe room, started to roam around . While they were walking, the group found out that they were on the second floor, and that there was staircase leading downstairs, which the group designated as the first floor . On this first floor of the safe room which seem to be underground, were a lot of food and water . It looked like an underground convenience store . Also while they were looking around the first floor, they also found that there were six rooms, and each one of them had a bunk bed, table and chairs .

The second floor where they were before, was like the living room . It had a huge QLED TV, some gaming consoles, a library of games, sofas, a table, chairs, and a library of books . The whole place, was cold because of the AC . It was surprising to see how big the safe room was, when looking at it from the outside . Not only that this safe room was more comfortable than some of their very own rooms .

. . .

After everyone was done exploring the safe room, the oldest of the group which was Niel’s father spoke .

"Hello everyone, I’m Noel Rayheart the father of Niel, and Niki Rayheart . Seeing as we are all in the same situation, I hope we can get along and share some of the information we have, if there is any regarding our situation . "

As expected of Niel’s father the moment he talked he caught everyone’s attention, and that smile of his that invited confidence was the same as Niel’s . Not only that when he stood beside his wife and daughter, made the aura of the family shine even brighter . The others nodded their heads in agreement in what he said .

"Very well, first let’s introduce ourselves . I’ll go first, I’m Michel Samarita, the mother of Alex, and this is my little girl Lilitth . " When Michel included Lilitth in her introduction, the little girl pouted .

"Kaa-chan, why did you introduce me too . I wanted to be the one to introduce myself . " Seeing the upset look of Lilitth, Michel started to panic a bit . She was simply going with the flow, she didn’t expect her cute little daughter will be upset because of that .

"I’m sorry, how about we ignore what I said before, and you introduce yourself . Okay, we’ll treat it like nothing happened . " Hearing her panicking mother, Lilitth nodded her head .

"Hello everyone my name is Lilitth Samarita . It’s a pleasure to meet all of you . " Seeing how Lilitth acted surprised Evangeline who knew about Lilitth’s origin . No matter how you look at her now, she seemed like any other little girl . Very different from that girl that tried to kill Alex .

"I’m next, hello everyone I’m Niki Rayheart, a friend of Lilitth, and the little sister of Niel . " After introducing herself Niki did a curtsy and smiled .

After Niki’s introduction the other people started to introduce themselves . The mood in the safe room was now a bit lighter than it was initially .

"So does any one of you know who’s attacking us and why?" Noel asked the people present, which made them look at each other . Seeing the blank look in everyone’s faces coupled with the silence made it clear that no one knew who were attacking them .

After that Noel continued to ask a bunch more questions, but only a few of them were answered . Since none understood what was happening, the grown-ups decided to adhere to a wait and see policy . So for now they just needed to conserve the food to the best that they could . If no one comes after their food and water run out, the group decided that situation left them no choice but to leave the safe room, and see what happened to the others .

. . .

As the others were talking with each other, Evangeline pulled Rachel to the first floor . The two then proceeded to go to one of the empty rooms .

"What is it Eva?" Rachel looked at Evangeline confused as to why she suddenly took her in this empty room .

"Rachel I have something I want to tell you . " Evangeline looked at Rachel with an intense look . Her face was one that had a look of determination .

"What do you want to tell me Eva?" Rachel asked this time, in a more serious tone . She has never seen Evangeline with that kind of look before . Whatever Evangeline wanted to say must be something of extreme importance .

"Before we get to that, I need to get this out of the way . Rachel Regius, the first time I met you, I didn’t like you not one bit . "

Rachel hearing what Evangeline said wasn’t really a surprise since it was obvious from the start that Evangeline never liked her . So she didn’t say anything and continued to listen to Evangeline .

"To me you were an obstacle, a crook that took away the person I admire the most and yearn for . When I saw you, I thought it wasn’t fair . I liked Alex for two years, and then the moment we met again, the moment I thought I would have a story book ending, you were there beside him . Not only that, it would seem that Alex was solely focused on you and no one else, just you . . . In my mind I always thought it was unfair, how come it was you and not me! How come you who just met him has all his attention, while I who has been nursing my feelings for him not even get a glance . You had everything I wanted, without even trying! You know how that made me feel? It made me feel insignificant . "

Evangeline voiced out all the feeling she had at this very moment . Her tone was that of pain, and at the same time anger and acceptance . There was a multitude of feelings she was showing Rachel at the moment . Her very soul was made bare to Rachel .

"I see . . . is that what you wanted to say to me?" Rachel took Evangeline’s feelings in a calm manner . She did feel sorry for Evangeline, but that didn’t mean she would give her what she wants . As they say all is fair in love and war .

"No, that’s not even half of what I wanted to say . Still, I guess we do have more time in this place to talk about those kind of things . . . So I’ll tell you more about what I feel later, I just want to add that even though I hated you at the beginning, I now consider you a good friend, and a worthy rival in love . So this is what I wanted to say, Rachel Regius, I Evangeline Kain will not be giving up on making Alex love me!"

Evangeline pointed at Rachel with a smile on her face . Hearing what Evangeline said, shocked Rachel for a bit, but then she answered with a smile as well .

"Very well, I don’t really mind the challenge, but you do know that you’re in a disadvantage against me . Have you forgotten I already marked Alex . " Rachel then tapped on her lips . Seeing her do that made Evangeline a bit angry, since she knew what she meant by marking him .

"That was an unfair move and you know it! . . . But it doesn’t matter . . . The next time I meet Alex, I’m going to give him my mark as well . " Evangeline mumbled to herself, while touching her lips . Rachel who had pretty good hearing, heard Evangeline’s mumbles .

"Well that is if you can even get Alex’s attention . " Rachel shrugged her shoulders, showing a confident face that victory was all but assured to her .

"I sure will . After all I have a secret weapon that you don’t have . " This time Evangeline folded her arms and brought her breast into full view emphasizing them . The two girls looked at each other and started laughing .

"Let’s have a fair match Eva . " Rachel extended her right hand to Evangeline .

"Sure, let’s do our best for that man we both fell in love with . " Evangeline shook Rachel’s hands, and the two started giggling at a joke that only the two of them understood .
