Black Dove: Chapter 20

Josh's P.O.V

While on the party, I noticed that Christopher, Mao and Stefanya were missing. Probably they went to somewhere on the other rooms of the party and were having fun. Meanwhile, I am having a date with Eve. She told me that she had forgiven me for ripping apart her invitation.

"Hey Elicia, sorry about what happened earlier on Camp Half-Blood. Someone is supplying my mind with anger."

Elicia smiled. "No problem, Joshy! Here..." Out of thin air, she made another invitation as if by magic, and give it to me.

I scooted over to her, and just then, Stefanya came to us.

"Hey, look at the lovebirds!" Stefanya said to us.

Uh-oh... Looks like we've been caught.

"Hey Stefanya." I said. "Where's Christopher and Mao?"

"Oh, I'll take you to them." Stefanya said, and she guide us to the front door of her ball. Sure enough, there's the struggling Mao being pinned down by police officers yelling: "NO! Stefanya is setting me up! She's the one who kill her!" But the officers paid no attention.

I also have my doubts. How could Mao do something like that? She is a good girl, and a good kitty (no offense).

I wished that Mao would be here, but she will be taken to a prison for a first-degree murder.

Wait.... how about our quest? We need to find the murderer and bring the murderer to justice. I could hear a powerful aura that is emitted by a daughter of Aphrodite, and I don't like the aura. The aura is very pink. In fact, so pink that I would have stayed away from her.

Then the officers proceeded to put Mao into the police cruiser, and she was cuffed. But due to her quick thinking, she turned into a cat while the door is being closed.

"You see, this is one example of a very bad girl, now..."

The voice.... it has power. Even from when I met her, I could feel charmspeaking powers. There's something wrong, very wrong.

But I decided to keep my mouth quiet or else I would be next.

Just then, Stefanya patted my back. "Is there something wrong, Joshy?"

Yes, her voice has power, it's as if she's charmspeaking me. "Umm... no, Ms. Stefanya. Nothing's wrong."

"That's good." Stefanya said. "Now..."

"Umm.. Stafanya?" I asked.

"Yes?" Stefanya answered.

"Do you know any rooms that...."

Just then, Mao came back in one piece. Stefanya glared at her.
