[Headmistress Catherine]
It didn't make sense. The message I received from my phone was a picture of my niece.
She wasn't actually my blood-related niece, as all my relatives are dead but she's the daughter of a very close friend of mine.
In the picture, my niece was just innocently walking around in her bedroom but the angle at which the photo was taken, it was like how a stalker would take photos of the people they're following.
Then I received a text, not even a second after.
[I wonder how she's going to scream when I cut her arm off.]
Panicked, I called my friend's number, but she didn't pick up.
In a fraction of the time it should have taken, I crossed the country, burning through mana faster than ever.
When I arrived at my friend's home, she looked surprised to see me there.
"Hey. Cat… what are you doing here? It's good to see you but…"
She was holding my niece in her arms and the two of them were cooking.
