Chapter 25: Voyager’s Watch

Meanwhile, Levi let out a sigh of relief after watching the scene on the screen. He was glad that the little girl managed to calm down and become human again. But he started feeling frustrated and suddenly became worried, seeing their interaction.

"You and Lyne worried too much for no reason. Also, what's with your sighing? Should I remind you again that our Boss is not the kind of person to get infected by those… Mythical… Ahh, mutants! That term indeed is short and also sounds better," Mia praised the little girl after questioning Levi. That was also the reason why she was so curious to know Raine's kind. Raine was a human, but why could she not get infected by mutants?

"Of course, I know that, Mia. I'm sighing because this screams trouble. King Marcus will not be happy if he finds out about this," Levi worriedly whispered.

"Yeah… I guess we need to be more careful from now on. Look at how our Boss is smiling so brightly, Levi. We've never seen her like this. It's the first time we have spared someone who got infected but it strangely felt good, right?" Mia said with a soft smile on her face. She was glad that Raine decided not to kill the adorable little girl.

"You're right. I honestly feel good that our Boss did not kill Stella. But if King Marcus wakes up and finds out about this, he will make sure the little girl is dead. So I guess you're right… We do need to be extra careful and make sure to hide Stella's existence," Levi said.

"You know, Stella is only alive right now because of the lollipop boy. He stopped our Boss on time."

"Speaking of that lollipop boy… Why was he even there?" Mia asked. That mysterious lollipop boy seemed like a mutant too. Judging by his speed when fighting with their squad members, he was definitely not human. Humans cannot move as fast as he could, but on the other hand, if he was indeed a mutant, he could have easily escaped from Raine. Yet, he got caught in a fight with her... A fight where he did not dare to hit or injure her.

Something was definitely off.

"Damn, I need to finish restoring and organizing the CCTV footage we found. Boss will want it asap. I will lock myself in my haven till I'm done so see you guys later!" Mia commented, referring to her computer room. Levi only nodded. She stood up from her seat and left Levi alone in the control room.

Meanwhile, Raine helped Stella get changed. She then looked at Lyne and said, "Everything's fine here. Go do your thing, Lyne."

Lyne nodded and left the room.

"Is she a mutant too?" Stella asked Raine while looking at Lyne, who went out of the room.

"No, her name is Lyne and she is human. I will introduce her and the others properly to you after a while. From now on, we will become your family," Raine commented with a smile and tucked the strands of hairs on Stella's face behind her ear.

"Are you a mutant too? What is your name? I am Stella Marie Chua. But you can just call me Stella," Stella introduced herself.

Raine smiled at her and said, "And I am Raine. I am not a mutant Stella, but I'm not human either. I'm not supposed to disclose my kind since it's a secret."

Stella remained silent and did not push for an answer. Raine sighed helplessly. Stella's parents both died in an accident and her grandfather was the only family she had taking care of her. Right now, the investigation about the Secretary of Defense's murder was still ongoing. She had instructed her team to fake Stella's death and fabricate evidence for it to keep the little girl safe from danger.

"Stella, you will need to use a new name from now on so for now, think about what name you want to be called and tell me, okay? For now, you need to stay here while you practice how to control your shapeshifting powers. It is for your own good… To keep you safe. Do you see that button over there? If you need something or someone to talk to just press that button and I'll arrange it," Raine instructed.

Stella sighed loudly and said, "I understand. I'll do as you say."

She knew she could trust the woman next to her because they had saved her. They understood what was going on about the terrifying things and monsters she witnessed. She had mutated into a werewolf but she preferred the term mutant. Werewolves looked really scary so she decided to try her best and learn not to shift into the creature that killed her grandfather.

Raine patted her head and said, "Good girl. I know all this is a lot for you to process so I won't push you to tell me anything. Once you are ready, you can call for me and tell me everything you saw."

"Those monsters, they were looking for an old pocket watch," Stella whispered.

Raine frowned when she heard this. So they wanted the voyager's watch? And it's in the possession of the Secretary of Defense? No wonder the lollipop boy was there too. He probably wanted that watch to go back in time.

"They were looking for the 'voyager's watch'. Did they happen to get it from your grandpa?" Raine asked but Stella only stared at her.

Raine smiled at Stella and caressed her hair, "Hmm, I guess you are tired. You should sleep and get some rest, dear. Don't forget to think of a nice name for yourself, alright?"

Stella gave her a sweet smile and nodded. Raine looked at her one last time and stepped out of her room. She knew that Stella did not fully trust them yet. She had a hunch that the little girl knew where the voyager's watch was. She was also sure that whoever attacked Stellas' grandfather did not obtain it as well. There were a lot of things she wanted to know, like how Stella survived that massacre but all she could do now was to wait.. Stella needed her time to digest everything and accept what happened.
