Chapter 28: Mnemosyne
_14_ (Crystal Chelsea Lim's Point of View)
When we arrived at the Mansion, I asked a butler to help me bring Jess and Irene to their rooms.
I helped Jess clean up after the butler left. I changed her clothes and removed her heels, I wiped her make-up off with soft cotton I did the same with Irene.
It's already 3 AM, good thing it's Saturday today. Not that we would be drinking had there been a school the day after our night clubbing.
I went to my room and checked my phone after I took a bath, I received a text from Lavalee.
From: Lav
I'd be gone for the whole day. I'd be with Nii-sama.
To: Lav
Okay. I'd tell the two. Stay safe.
I've just taken a bath so I decided to just pull an all-nighter. I won't be able to fall asleep either. I decided to check all the security cameras through my tablet.
I went down to the kitchen first while carrying the tablet and viewing the security footage, I even saw myself walking down the stairs and heading to the kitchen in the surveillance camera footage.
I took fresh milk from the fridge and poured it into the glass. I sat on the counter and placed the glass on it while tapping the screen.
I was surprised when a notification came out from the motion sensor of Lavalee's room. I turned on the motion sensor of her room because she wasn't there so now I'm wondering why the sensor is detecting movement from her room.
I took out my phone and dialed Lavalee's number.
After a couple of rings, she picked it up.
[Moshi, moshi, Lavalee speaking.] She said in a sleepy voice
"Gomeiwaku o okake shite mōshiwakearimasen, Lavalee." I said because it looked like I woke her up
[Ani, gwaenchanh-a. Naze denwa shita no?] She replied in a calm tone
"I turned on the motion sensor and I received an alert. There's a motion sensed in your room. " I said
[Yoroshīdesu ka, Tal?] She asked and I heard some sounds
(Japanese: Are you sure about that, Tal?)
"Yeah, affirmative. " I replied then I heard some chattering and some voices.
[Can you go to my room?] She said so I immediately stood up while carrying the tablet and phone
I went up to the third floor using the elevator.
[Open my room. Lavalee.] She said just as the elevator arrived at the third floor
At first, I was still confused but when I was in front of the door I saw the pass that Lavalee said.
5-2-8-2-5-2-2
When I opened the door I was surprised to see a cat in front of me.
"Lav, there's a cat," I said and I heard her laugh
[Oh, I almost forgot!] she said while chuckling
[I almost forgot to feed her. Can you feed her while I'm gone, Chels? Follow her, she'd lead you to it.] She said and dropped the call so I went into Lav's room and closed the door
I turned on the lights and that's how I saw what the cat looked like.
It's an orange cat with blue eyes, it looked like a tiger cub actually but I don't think Lavalee's the kind of adventurous person who would go to the extent of taking care of a tiger cub.
"Here, kitty, kitty," I said and held out my hand but it ignored me, and instead went to an orange small fridge.
I opened the fridge and it purred, I was surprised when I opened it because the fridge was full of sushi.
I took a container and followed the cat to a small doll house, or perhaps it was this cat's house.
There is a ceramic bowl so I put two sushi in there.
"Hello, what's your name?" I asked and stroked his fur.
He had a collar but I didn't see much of the name hanging because it was covering the name tag as it eats.
I was taken aback when it suddenly roared.
Oh my goodness!
It's not a cat, it's a tiger cub!
"Uh, hello," I said and tried to pet it
I just held my hand out, at first it seems reluctant but a little later, it sniffed my finger and finally let its fur touch my hand.
I petted it and that's when I finally saw the name on the collar it was wearing, Mnemosyne.
My phone rang suddenly so I answered it.
[Oh, Chels, did I forget to tell you Mnemosyne's a wolf-tiger? If I did, well, now you know.] she said in a playful tone
"Uh, actually I figured it out already," I said and I heard her chuckle
[Hora, kanojo wa anata ni hōkō shimashita ka? Also, have you fed her sushi?] she asked
"I did," I said
[Actually, Mnemosyne's way calmer than Ryu, Freia's pet, same kind.] She told me and my eyes widened
"Wait, Freia? Summer Freia also has a pet tiger?" I asked in surprise
[Tiger-wolf, it's a tiger-wolf.] She corrected
"You allowed your sister to have a pet like... this?" I asked her still puzzled
[Why not, Freia was actually the one who conducted the experiment. They're both under observation.] She said
"Uh, so what should I do?" I asked
[Is it too much if I ask you to bring her around today? She arrived last night, I think, while we're in the camp.] She said
"Ah, that's fine. It could help clear my head." I said
[Okay, call you later then.] She said and hung up.
I looked at Mnemosyne who was currently stretching her body.
"Come here, Mnemosyne," I said and opened my palm.
I was a little taken aback when she really came over and licked my hand.
"Good girl," I said and lightly patted her head
