25: Hiding?

Naiah's POV
I let my eyes close for a while. I'm awake, but I don't want to open it.
"Draine, get up. I know you're awake" I rolled my eyes even if it's closed. Draine? How dare she call me by my second name? And of course, who the hell keeps on calling me Draine? None other than, Captain D, he introduces. Is that really his name?
I kept my eyes closed. I did not mind his presence inside my room. "You're not getting up?" he asked, still I didn't move.
After a minute of silence, I heaved a relieved sigh. Thank God. He stopped bothering me. I am getting myself asleep again when something hit my right arm, hard. I immediately open my eyes only to see the crazy girl's raging eyes.
"What the hell?!" I cursed and rolled on the side part of my bed when she attempted to stab me. I cursed under my breath when I couldn't move my body because of the comforter that is hugging my body, really tight. Geez! What perfect timing.
"D! Get her out of my room! How dare you?!" I shouted and rolled again on the other side when the crazy girl lunged her weapon right at my face.
I shuddered when I saw her expression. She has this look of a murderer! With those eyes, she's eager to kill me. I didn't even do anything to her. The hell is her problem?! She's really insane!
"D!!!" I shouted again but sigh in frustration when I couldn't find his shadows. That jerk! He will pay for this!
"You!" I want to point my forefinger at her but the comforter's around my body caused me to fall on my bed. My eyes widen when my face would hit the floor if I can't stop it. I cursed multiple times and force my body. I controlled my fall.
I stuck my feet at my bed and control the balance of my body then I force my body up for a turn. I grunt when my back hits the floor. I hissed. It's better than having my face a bruise. I glared at the crazy girl. She's playing with her dagger.
"You know what?" she asked. I didn't take my eyes off of her and grit my teeth. I balled my fist underneath my comforter. My whole body is still covered by the comforter so I couldn't make any movements. And I did, she's dead.
"It's crazy to think that you're innocent about all of this. Why?" she walked back and forth in front of me and it's making me dizzy! And what the hell is she saying?
"I know my sister. She can't die that easily. Unless it's needed" she stared at my eyes and there. I saw how much she's inraged about her sister's death.
"And you... You're the only one she mentioned to me. She's talking and talking about you nonstop that I shouted at her to stop. You, this is your fault. Why does she need to die?! Huh? And worst..." I looked at her eyes. She's teary-eyed. I creased my forehead. I didn't know that. But that doesn't mean that it's my fault.
"And worst, in your hands?!" she shouted at me. I kept silent. I want to hear more from her.
"Do you know that she wished to live long? Huh? And yet, you ruined it! You ruined her dream! She's dead" she said, crying in front of me. I looked away. I gulped and took a deep breath.
"It's not my fault," I said, after a while. She scoffed and chuckled.
"How can you say so?! Huh?! I saw you in the forest! I saw you, stabbed my sister that caused her to lose her life! I saw you! How is that not your fault, huh?! Tell me!" I shut my eyes when she shooked my shoulders again and again. I let her do that. I know, she's grieving and it's her way to get out of her hell. It's really tiring to live your life in hell.
"You need to die" she whispered. I blinked. What?! Before I can move to stay away from her, she already had my neck in her hands. She's choking me again. And I wonder why D is not here.
"You think, I'm crazy?! No! I am not! This is me, and I can kill you right now, right here" I coughed and struggled to move my head away from her hands as my body is still covered by the comforter.
This is crazy!

"Hey! It's already done! Come on, free me from these ropes" Gust hardly took off the ropes on his body.
"Do you think I will free you just because?!" I glared at him. I touched the scarf on my neck. That crazy girl is now under my jurisdiction. She's detained in the underground. I balled my fist when I felt pain in my neck. Her fingernails dipped into my skin again. I will really cut it off! Even her fingers!
"Why did you let her in? I ordered you to stop her no matter what. See what happened to me? She chokes me again and you know how I hate bruises on my sensitive parts" I gritted my teeth as I closed my eyes to calm down. This is making me mad.
"I tried! But she paralyzed me and she hit the back of my neck, making me lose my consciousness. Remember? You saw me in front of my room, lying on the ground" he explained.
"She's strong" he added. I held my chin and glanced at D, beside him. He's still unconscious. I found him at the stair. I also wrapped him with ropes.
"She's strong? Why couldn't I see it?" I asked as I looked at him. He shrugged but frowned when he couldn't because of the ropes.
"Free me and I'll tell you why," he said. I creased my forehead.
"I can't" I teased him. He furrowed his brows and clenched his jaw. He's frustrated, I see. I barely see him like this.
"Why? You'll just cut it off" I crossed my arms over my chest and tilted my head.
"L told me so," I said. He stiffened. I smirk. Now, why is that?
"Where is she?" I rolled my eyes when I sensed his old self. Calm and has a light aura.
"She's doing her task"
"What task?"
"Secret," I said. I looked at D when his chair makes a move. He's awake. Now, we can start the real fun.
"Hey D!" I shouted. His eyes roamed around. He raised a brow when he saw his body covered with ropes.
"What the hell is this?" he cursed. I chuckled which makes him look in my direction.
"Isn't it obvious D? It's a rope" I chuckled again. His forehead creased and I saw his jaw, tighten.
"Free me up this instant" he ordered.
"Wait... I don't remember I should follow orders from anyone, especially you" I pointed at him. His eyes glistened in frustration but he managed to hide them and back to his old cold eyes.
"And let me ask you. Where did you go? Don't you know that crazy girl" pointing at the door as if she was there, "choked me again to death?" I asked. He only raised his brows and said nothing. I scoffed and looked at my cousin when he asks me something.
"How did you manage to free yourself at her grip?"
"You don't have to know," I said and rolled my eyes when I remembered what I did to free myself. I just did a head bump at her. And what's funny is, she easily gets dizzy from that attack. Now, I know her weakness. Tsk.
"Nevermind. I will only free you two if you can answer my question" I said and sat at the chair behind me. I crossed my legs as well as my arms.
"My first question is," I looked at them and smiled.
"Why can't I access your DNA?" their result is out. And it's making me curious as to why the result says, nothing found? No information about them.
"What are you hiding?"
