Chapter 91: Truant {4}
"I’m worried about him"
"Good, because that is what I needed to hear" she proceeds to apply the red gloss on her plump lips, I really see no need why she should, her lips were perfect but I figured this was her sense of fashion, everything about Emma was a sense of fashion that left the other girls and guys breathtaking, does she have a boyfriend? I bet she got tons.
I pictured Dace’s over-protectiveness, and I shook my head. I don’t think that will happen with Dace around.
"And you’re doing it again..." I locked eyes with her in the mirror. "...Spacing out"
"S-Sorry been doing a lot of that lately," I said with a blush, maybe I was doing it to take my mind off the disaster around .
She huffed. "You know..." she began closing the lid and popping her lips before locking eyes with . "I like you...because you’re dumb"
"Excuse ?" I said flicking my eyes multiple tis like I heard wrong, she smirks, she fucking smirks after calling
dumb.
"Dumb in the sense of wanting to be with soone you can’t handle"
My heart skipped a beat.
"I have lived 150 years Emma, and I have never seen a human as dumb as you"
Did she just say 150 years? That was the sa age as Dace, I thought Dace was older. Or focus on the fact that she just called you dumb, that was more mind piercing, there was a limit to so things.
I folded my arms across my chest. "O-Okay, that’s rude. Calling soone dumb" I noticed her eyes highlighted. "...Twice"
"Sweetie that’s a complint, the best I have ever given to a human before, you’re lucky I’m even talking to you right now," she said it like a re fact and I couldn’t admit how true that was.
I gulped.
"Will you tell
about Dace or not"
She sighs tapping her hands on the sink and I noticed her black painted nails, even her nails were perfect.
"I have told him many tis ever since..." she paused and I was forced to narrow my eyes. "A week ago..." she began more strongly. "After the incident with the fairy dust, a very very very angry Dace stord the Fae territory unannounced"
My eyes almost widened off my sockets.
"And you should know how lands are divided across this borough between the families, walking into soone’s territory isn’t exactly welcoming, that is the first"
I gulped.
"Second, he was on the verge of killing Sarah"
"W-What?"
"Of course, I have to save his ass before he does sothing as blatant as that, the girl isn’t worth it. You see my point, Emma, Dace isn’t one to jump into things like that, he has an image to portray one that reflects our family, but with you all that seems nothing to him, you’re destroying him, Emma"
My eyes quivered but now she seed amused now as she tilted her head to the side.
"Maybe he wants to be destroyed," she said faintly but loud enough for
to hear. "Dace has broken so many laws, contact with you, into your ho and..." with her amused gaze she looked
up and down and I suddenly knew what that look she ant.
I blushed the brightest red. "W-W-We haven’t-"
"Oh I know, it’s surprising though" she fixed her bangs in the mirror. "Because it’s in our nature not to be controlled, I’m surprised he has held on this far"
"W-What do you an?" I asked in a murky tone.
She sighed. "Do you expect
to break that for you?"
I shrugged and she rolled her eyes.
"Werelions are beast, wild, untad..." as she listed that clear fact out she took slow steps towards
and I instinctively backed away.
"...Vicious, irrational" she stopped and I did too. "Especially to people they care about, he cares for you Emma, and he can’t control himself"
I heard my heart slamming a loud beat.
"Even though he shouldn’t," she added in a faint tone.
"Why shouldn’t he care for ," I asked before I could stop myself.
"Because..." she paused, was she dubious to say it? Well, that was unlike Emilia but I knew the answer already.
"Because I’m human"
Her gaze locked with mine, she seed to agree with
because she smiled but then it slowly fades.
"Our dad found out about the both of you, sothing he should not"
"But he already knows about us"
"My dad, that very night you were with us for dinner, clearly told my brother to stay away from you, an order"
"W-What?"
"Yes and being the blockhead he always been, my sweet brother turned a blind eye and still clinging to you"
I opened my mouth to speak but the words didn’t co off.
"He won’t co back, Emma"
My eyes snapped to hers. "I don’t-"
"No more school for us, my dad as concluded we do not need to stay in this farce for too long, this is the last day you will see
too"
My heart quickened in pace and a look of hurt and confusion flooded my eyes.
"Goodbye Emma Adams, live your life, go to prom and make friends, you need it" She walked past
out of the restroom and I just remained still like a wall.
My mind processing everything Emilia said to
and I felt my heart breaking, my breath raspy and unstable, and my brain on the verge of collapsing before I could stop myself I rushed out of the restroom searching for Emilia in the crowd of people, holding my forehead that was suddenly so hurt as I twirled and twirled like I would lose my mind.
But then I set my eyes on her at the entrance of the school, Lucas was beside her murmuring sothing to her. Emilia took a minute before she looked my way and then looked away.
I just stood watching and the two Devereaux’s stepped out of the school.
