Meeting?

Registering that information was difficult for everyone, but before anyone could react anything Lucious said something which was more indigestible, "I-I am s-sorry my prince! F-Forgive me! I-I d-d-idn't mean to disrespect our queen."

Kaal gave him a look of eating him alive for a good minute as he observed him completely. No one knew what his next step would be and no one even wanted to interrupt in between them for the reason being that he just disrespected the most respectful person in the whole universe. But instead of doing anything, he just turned to his back, continuing to the exit. Noah let out a sigh which even he didn't know he was holding. Soon the tentacles started to go back to the ground from which they came and Noah looked at Gabriel saying, "He must be tired, we should go back to our dorm."

She nodded, joining a peacefully walking Kaal along with Noah. As they left a very confused, distorted and fearful Luscious and other four pillars.

-------AT THE GATE OF BOYS DORM------

Three of them reached the gate and Gabriel said stopping them, "Wait"

They both stopped and looked at her with questioning eyes. She looked at Kaal and said, "I am sorry for the inconvenience you had, my prince. I would be more careful next time."

Kaal didn't bulge any of his features as she looked up to him for a reaction. At his rudeness Noah interrupted, rubbing the back of his head, with an apologetic look he said, "It's okay, you don't need to be this formal."

She nodded with a slightly smiling face, though she really wanted to know if she had made it a success like always or not, she was kind of content too, as Kaal didn't seem very interested in the thing which happened back in the arena. Gabriel said, "I can't go furthermore with you as girls are not allowed in the boys' dorm and vice versa, but don't worry, I have a map ready for you guys."

Noah nodded happily taking the online map through their cells. He thanked her again and they started towards their own dorm room, which was yet to discover. Whereas for Gabriel she was not only tired but was excited for the next event of her day, which just started as it was only 5th period and many students started to come out of their classes, mostly bunking them.

----IN THE MEETING ROOM OF THE PILLARS----

Everyone was patiently waiting in their seats, as the door opened revealing a well dressed Gabriel. She didn't mind the cold silence of the meeting room, as she took her seat on the right side of the table, in front of the forth pillar, Lucious.

Chungyong sat left to her and Frea sat left to Lucious. And to her right sat Irkan and his sat Mingyo.

Irkan asked impatiently, "Why are we not starting?"

Gabriel replied in her usual cold voice, "Because the person who held this meeting is not here yet."

Irkan just tuted his tongue and rolled his eyes in annoyance to which Frea said, "She would be here any minute now, so don't even think of disrespecting her."

Irkan breathed, "She's late. We shouldn't wait for her, what do you say Lucious?"

When everyone saw Lucious their eyes were about to fall out, as Lucious was sitting there, his eyes on his hands which were on his lap. He didn't utter a single word. Everyone started eyeing each other, it was way unusual for Lucious to stay this quiet. Mingyo finally patted his shoulder pulling him back to reality as he got startled and jumped halfway through his chair.

He started sweating and his breath was caught in his throat, but as Gabriel stood up he came to his senses and cleared his throat and maintained his almost lost posture and sat back on his chair, bringing it back to the table. No one tried saying anything as they knew what happened in the arena shook him to the core and they had never seen him this afraid, not even from Orlee.

It suddenly went all quiet and everyone liked it this way, as all of their thoughts were diverted towards Kaal. Why would he come here and why so suddenly, and it's not even announced that dark queen had any other baby after Princess Aura, but that's another story now.

As the pillars were busy thinking they suddenly heard in a squeaky voice that all of them were very well aware of, "Missed me?"

They all looked at the door, where stood a 5'3" girl with white hair hanging down her hips, her eyes red glimmering with a hint of mischief. She tucked her hair back by one hand and the other holds the paper as she waited for a reply patiently.

Frea was the one to reply, "Y-Yea, we were waiting for you. W-What took you so long?"

As the girl smirked at the little girl's quivering voice, she walked to her seat feeling the air of rebellion, submission and even of challenge, which was a waste of time, at least for her. She replied in the most innocent voice, "Waiting? But I am not even a second late, look."

She pointed to the wall clock on the smooth wooden wall, she said, "I told you to meet me at 2 pm and its complete 30 seconds past that. So, I am on time."

Everyone looked at Frea who said it was 1:30. They knew she did this herself so that no one would be late and Gabriel was very well aware of that that's why she came late. Irkan just rolled his eyes whereas Lucious was lost again and Chungyong and Mingyo were comfortable with it.

As she sat on her seat placing her feet comfortably on the table making the air tenser, Gabriel cleared her throat saying, "Why would you call us here, Orlee?"

She threw the paper file she had in her hand on the table startling an almost dying Lucious. He tried calming him and Orlee just smirked at the poor boy. She said, "The matches are coming. I don't want our reputation as pillars to go down."

Frea asked, "What do you mean?"

Orlee gave her a questioning look and looked at other faces on the table which were holding the same curious look as Frea and she stood up asking in a high squeaky voice again, "Tell me you know!"

When no one replied she sighed verbally and rolled her eyes childishly, "I should have known not to trust you guy."

Gabriel felt offended at this and replied in a rather harsh manner, "We have school works to do, we are not like you. Wandering everywhere and have free time only."

Everyone gasped at this and they all eyed Orlee, which stood there with a blank face. She took her time to register what Gabriel just said and everyone thought this is the end of Gabriel, but when Orlee opened her mouth it was worse.

She first laughed out loud like a crazy maniac, as tears of tingles were flowing in her eyes and she went out of breadth because of this. No one dare say anything to her and even Gabriel was shocked because of this but she didn't open her mouth this time. When she finally calmed she said, "Yea you're right, you're so busy with your work that it may cost you your chair as fifth. Whereas me? I am free because I am first. I have time because I deserve it and you don't."

She gave her biggest cheeky smile and said, "But maybe I have been just too lenient with you guy. But don't worry, in these matches, I will show you your place."

She smiled in the creepiest way sending shivers to everyone in the room. Her aura was dominating to the extent where it was visible in the air, as some dark light started to flow out of her body.

But before anyone can react she went to the door and opened it saying, "I promise you'll regret even standing there."

And before anyone can react she was out of the room. The walls were again mended with complete silence. But Irkan broke it this time as his fist slammed the table, he stood up yelling, "Why!? Why would you provoke her? You used to tell me to be careful around her, but now look what you did! Willya tell me WHY!?"

His eyes were holding complete worry as he knew how cruel Orlee can be at the times. She looked at the empty corner replying, "That was out of rage."

He chuckled sarcastically, "Rage? Really? Oh yea how can we forget you lose your temper easily."

She sighed at his sarcasm, "I didn't do it on purpose, it was important to tell her her limits."

He gave her a distasted look and remarked, "Maybe you don't know your own limits."

Saying that he raged out of the room without looking back. Everyone knew how right he was and they all agreed to that not by saying but by actions as they all left one by one, leaving two worried girls behind. Frea said, "It's not good Gabriel."

She nodded and Frea added, "She may be the first pillar but she is not with us. Plus she is the most powerful."

Gabriel knew she was saying right, but she just didn't want to believe it. There is got to be a way to stop Orlee or at least know what is she planning next. Frea sighed at their misery but nevertheless came to Gabriel, saying, "Don't worry, we'll find a way out. First, you go have some rest, this has been a long day for you."

She nodded agreeing with her completely.

As both the girls left to their rooms with no further discussion, Gabriel's thought again wandering off to very talkative Kaal (note the sarcasm) As she was thinking about him, she lost track of time and she came out of reality when she stumbled in a girl. Which was no other than her roommate Shea.

Her eyes were full of fear as she huffed in Gabby's arms. Gabriel asked, "What happened? You okay?"

As she controlled her breath, tucking her sweaty punk strands behind her ear. She asked, "D-Did you heard about the new transfer? He is so hot!"

Gabriel couldn't hold but roll her eyes at her. She huffed, "I gave him the school tour."

Shea's eyes went wide as she heard this. She couldn't hold her happiness anymore. She asked, "Can I meet him, please! Just this once. I have never asked you or ever used your name. But please this time let me meet him, please! I promise-"

"Stop it!" Yelled a very frustrated Gabriel, making poor girl flinch. She flared, "I am not gonna help you meet anyone! Because trust me, he would be less than interested in your slutty attire!"

But when she realised what she had done she looked at Shea, who was now looking at the floor. Avoiding her gaze and within a second with her swift motion, she turned her back to a shuttering Gabriel and transformed within a second to a pink cat and ran to god knows where.
