Damian had been quick to react and looked for a place to hide! The school's library had two floors, and most students did not go to the first one, imagine having to walk up a staircase.
So, Damian, who could not find a place to hide on the first floor — there were only shelves which would not be enough to hide two people — so, having that in mind, Damian grabbed Theo by the arm and flew up to the second floor.
Everything happened so fast that Theo was still in a daze, but it was good that Damian had a clearer mind and acted first, or whoever was coming from the secret passage would bump straight into them.
Once they were up there, Damian and Theo hid behind a bookshelf, but they still peeked to see the person leaving the secret passage.
It was a masked person with a robe, just like the one Theo had seen. But that person was not alone! Eight people left the secret passage.
"Are you sure things are going in the right direction? We need whatever is behind that door for the sake of our future," one of the masked people said.
The voice was that of a woman, but it did not sound like Vanessa. Could Damian be wrong about her, or was she soone else among those eight people?
"Maybe she can alter her voice too! I don't see that as impossible," Damian thought.
"Yes, things are going in the right direction, but it will still take so ti for us to open that door. In the anti, we must ensure this society is secret and prepare for the hordes yet to co."
"Understood."
All of them left the library, but one of the eight people, before leaving, looked up to the second floor where Damian and Theo were hiding. They quickly moved and hid behind the bookshelf, but that person staring at their location made their hearts beat fast, and Theo was sweating on his forehead.
"I thought I sensed sothing. My mind is playing tricks, I guess," the masked person thought before moving his gaze away from where Damian was, leaving the library afterward.
"That was close!" Theo said as he sat on the floor, finally relaxing after everyone left the library.
Damian frowned his eyebrows and thought about what he had heard.
"Sothing behind a door? Do they need that for the future? Also, is a horde of beasts coming to attack the school soon? How do they know about it when everyone else has no idea?"
The secret society was not a simple one considering they knew things the upper ranks of the school did not, which made Damian want to join the organization even more!
But not everything went Damian's way. He did not see how they opened the secret passage, and after they all left, he and Theo went downstairs, looking for a way to open it again, and did not find anything.
"I need to find out how to open this and where that door they are discussing is."
While Damian was eager to find more, Theo wanted to return to his dorm, so they did. Damian would not force Theo to do anything, but he knew with the right amount of ti, Theo would want to learn more about what they saw and heard, and Damian would gladly accept him on his team.
The way back went smoothly; they knew the best path to the dorm. But of course, there was still a risk, but at least at that ti, everything worked out for them.
"Imma go to my room now and rest a little bit. See you tomorrow," Theo said.
"See ya, bro."
Damian did the sa, going inside his room and jumping on the bed, he grabbed his cell phone and saw a ssage from soone he knew, Aurora!
They could not speak with outsiders or use the internet freely inside that college, but they could talk with other students.
"She is asking on a date! Well, calm down, Damian. You two are only friends."
Damian could not see it, but Aurora had red cheeks as she looked at her phone.
