When the three witches landed on the ground, Austin put Alexis down when she was still a bit dazed and couldn't stand up so she sat down on the ground.
"Oh come on, there's no need to be so scared, it's not that big of a deal. You'll have to go through a lot more in the future. Get up."- Austin
He immediately pulled Alexis up.
In front of the four of them was a building that looked quite old, but on it was a rather large hole that was destroyed by something.
"Can you explain to me again why we're here?"- Alexis
"It's a bit difficult to explain in detail, so let me explain it simply. First, we have to solve the problem between the vampires and the werewolves. Although they can travel between the normal world and the parallel world, the conflict caused them to accidentally affect the flow, opening up gates between the two worlds"- Austin
"And they almost always solve problems with each other in this world, not the human world"- Jenna
"But the fact that they solve problems too strongly causes this world to be affected, affecting the normal world"- Austin
"In short, we're here to prevent things from going too far, if something has happened, we have to patch it up. Let's go in and see if there's anything interesting"- Megan
With that, Megan walked inside the building first, followed by Austin and Jenna. Alexia looked up at the building, not knowing why but she had an indescribable feeling of unease as if there was something inside.
In the distance, there were eyes watching her, their eyes followed Alexis as she walked inside, then she stopped in front of the door and turned her head towards where they were hiding. They immediately closed their eyes and blended into the darkness to hide, not knowing if the girl had seen them or not, but for just a moment, even if it was just a glimpse, that gaze seemed to be piercing their hearts.
As for Alexis, she felt as if there were eyes watching her, but she didn't know where.
"Follow us!"- Megan
"Yes!"- Alexis
Turning her head back one last time, Alexis followed the other three.
Inside the building was empty and dilapidated, there were luxurious tables and chairs covered in dust, the leather covering the chairs was peeling off. Approaching the elevator, strangely, instead of being installed on the wall, the elevator was located right in the middle of the building.
This installation is a bit strange.
Megan pressed the button and the elevator opened, the four of them stepped inside and the elevator door slowly closed but did not close completely, leaving a small gap. The elevator slowly went up, the atmosphere in the elevator was somewhat quiet.
"We will split up, Alexis, you can go with me because I have more experience in looking after children than these two people" - Megan
"Hey, what do you mean?" - Austin
"Am I wrong, when you two are always arguing with each other at the cafe, the cats look at you with contempt and you don't even know" - Megan
Turning to look at the two people, a young man and a young woman, each turned their heads away and smiled embarrassedly. Alexis found this a bit funny so she held back her laughter.
*Ting*
The sound of the elevator reaching the floor rang out, the elevator door slowly opened, the room was in chaos, everything was turned upside down and there were signs of a big fight.
"Wow, really...."- Alexis
"Disorderly, these two are always like that. Vampires and werewolves, they get into a little fight, then a small matter becomes a big deal"- Megan muttered
"Where should we start?"- Alexis
Megan looked from left to right then from right to left, seeing nothing unusual, she frowned slightly because of the feeling of unease that came from nowhere. It was as if they were waiting for them
"Megan, how about we use some scapegoat charms"- Austin
"That's fine, you do it"- Megan
"Why me?"- Austin
"Since you came up with the idea first, you should do it." - Megan
Austin sighed helplessly and took out the cat dolls, the mascot of the cafe, made from patched fabric from his pocket. He cast a spell on the dolls. Alexis leaned up to look and the dolls started to move on their own like real cats. Alexis' eyes widened as she saw the dolls jump out of Austin's palm and run around the room.
The four of them stepped out of the elevator and the elevator doors slowly closed and closed. The atmosphere was a bit creepy at this moment.
"Hey reader, do you know how to create light from a card? What's its name? Her...her...something I don't know"- Jenna
"The hermit, right?"- Alexis
"That's right, that thing. Readers usually use it as a guiding light, can't you summon that thing?"- Jenna
"I've never summoned before"- Alexis
"What a pity"- Austin muttered
"Excuse me, I haven't even learned anything other than spreading out the deck. I'm not some magical girl who holds a magic wand and just swings it around and summons monsters"- Alexis
"Shh! Be quiet"- Megan
The other three were startled and then fell silent.
The surrounding space was very quiet, the darkness seemed to be covering them, the noise in the night made everyone tense.
"Let's move closer together, slowly, don't panic, slowly"- Megan
Although she said that, Jenna still seemed to be trembling with fear, Austin tried to walk towards Megan, and Alexis just tiptoed, not daring to lift her feet.
After a while, both Jenna and Austin reached Megan's place, leaving only Alexis, who was only a few steps away from them.
Wiro's voice suddenly rang out in Alexis's head.
"Don't move!"- Wiro
Alexis was startled, her right foot was about to lift.
"What's wrong?"- Alexis asked in confusion
"Don't move, I feel like we've become 'their' target"- Wiro
"Them? Which them?"- Alexis
Then she felt a chill down her spine from behind but didn't dare to turn around, just seeing Megan's shocked expression, she understood the problem immediately. Something was behind her and it was moving very slowly towards her.
"What should I do, Wiro?"- Alexis
"Are you fast and agile enough?"- Wiro
"I don't know that"- Alexis
"Then can you draw a card?"- Wiro
"For what?"- Alexis
"Draw a random card, who knows, maybe that card will help you"- Wiro
"But what if that card doesn't work?"- Alexis
"Every card a tarot reader draws is pre-arranged by fate. No matter which card you draw, that is fate"- Wiro
Alexis's heart gradually beat faster and louder, even her ears could hear the sound of her heart pounding with fear, her trembling hand slowly moved into the bag she was wearing to take out the bag containing the deck. The sound of the creature behind her was getting closer and closer.
"Here go nothing!!!"- Alexis
Alexis quickly and frantically drew a card. The card immediately flashed slightly and everything around started to shake violently.
