Helanie:
"Lucy has been trapped with that entity for this long, and none of us were able to help her?" Gavin muttered, shaking miserably. Lamar and Jenny tried to comfort him, but none of us really could, and I understood why we were all feeling guilty. We had let her down so much.
"We should have known there was no way Lucy would take such a sudden turn. She used to be so sweet," Jenny said, rembering how even when so much was happening to her, she still managed to stay ek and thoughtful. Even when she was an to Jenny, which wasn’t her fault, we all made her feel terrible.
"Well, she was misjudged even before the fall," Lamar added that he rembered how Jenny and Gavin cheated on her. Jenny didn’t know, so it was basically Gavin’s fault, but Jenny could have told her. Suddenly we were all back to the early days of our academy, and it felt awful. Things we had buried were being dragged back up, just to understand Lucy’s habits. Like Lamar and Lucy having a one night stand, which made Jenny uncomfortable. Like Gavin and Jenny’s cheating, which I could tell made Lamar uncomfortable. And then her ex, who was the reason she cheated. That sa ex was the reason I was in pain. It was all just a circle.
"Okay, Helanie, you need to calm down, Emt said, his hand in his parents’ pocket. And you two, if you wanted to keep this a secret so she wouldn’t stress, you should have done it better. Because she ended up with way more stress than if you had just told her. Now she had the stress of you cheating on top of everything going on with Lucy." Emt grunted, scolding Norman and Maximus. "Did you know, Kaye?" He turned to Kaye, who started shaking his head.
"I swear, no. I only knew Norman told he was doing sothing to help Helanie with the pain she would feel once she found out the truth. That was all I knew," Kaye quickly defended himself.
"It’s okay. It’s fine. Let’s not talk about that. I want to focus on Lucy now," I said, reminding them it wasn’t about anymore. It was about Lucy. "How are we going to help her?" I asked, tearing up.
"We have to keep going with the plan where she thinks Norman is under her control. Sotis she slips up, because she’s so sure he is lost that she can act evil in front of him," Maximus explained. I shot him a harsh look.
"I’m just saying, if you allow it," Maximus quickly added. I took a deep breath.
"As long as he doesn’t fucking sleep with her or get all touchy with her for the purpose of the plan." I gave Norman a very harsh look.
"Of course I would never," Norman protested instantly.
"Not to be a party pooper, you can all feel guilty later if you want. Right now our focus should be on how we can save Lucy without killing her, because these entities inside her are not going to leave her body alone. And if we kill them, we might kill Lucy as well," Penn finally broke the silence.
We all stared at him and then nodded our heads. "Penn is right," Sage said, and of course Lamar, being Lamar, couldn’t control himself.
"Of course he is right now," Lamar added, hinting at the fact that Sage and Penn had been overly romantic with each other, which we were happy for. At least soone was happy. But now they had to worry with us, because Lucy was our friend and probably would have been theirs too.
"How are we going to do it?" I asked nervously as I played with the chain on my neck, the pearl my mom gave from her rmaid tail. Maximus narrowed his eyes on my neck.
"What is that? Who gave this to you?" He was instantly offended that one of his brothers had gifted a pendant without telling him. We didn’t know they had to compete with each other so much, that they had to share what they were giving .
"It is my mom’s," I quickly told him, before he lost control over his brothers. Kaye knelt down, hands on his knees, while Emt and Norman lowered their heads and narrowed their eyes.
"It is beautiful," Norman remarked, and I gave him a nod. I was still looking at him a little angrily, because I rembered telling him we wouldn’t keep secrets from each other, and he could see from my gaze that I was upset. He instantly backed off.
But it was Kaye’s reaction that caught our attention. Kaye turned away, covering his eyes.
"Is it a rmaid tail or a siren tail?" he asked, clearing his throat.
"What?" Emt said, confused.
"Oh yeah, it’s a pearl from the tail of a rmaid once she loses her tail," I explained. As soon as I said that, we all looked at Kaye.
"Yeah, rember I’m a hunter, so I know these things. It’s not like I learned it sowhere, I just know," Kaye explained. "We can’t really tell the pearls apart. The tails are completely similar, so I thought it was a siren tail," he muttered.
And I realized he was only equipped to kill . Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so worried about the tail hanging around my neck being from anyone else. His anger was only toward , the fake anger Kesha had embedded in his mory.
"Anyway, what were we saying?" Kaye pulled himself together, staring at all of us with his hands on his waist.
"Wait, so every rmaid has a pearl?" Maximus asked.
"No, when they lose their life or their tail, that’s when a pearl forms from their tail," I explained more clearly this ti.
"Oh, wow, that’s harsh," Maximus comnted.
But it was Emt who kept staring at my face. "It must an sothing." Then everybody was just looking at him.
"We can focus on it later, honestly," I mumbled. But it seed like Emt wasn’t completely sure if he wanted to move on from the pearl.
"Are you trying to stare at her for too long with the excuse of looking at the pearl?" Maximus said, gently slapping Emt’s chest with the back of his hand while Emt kept his eyes on my pearl. And then I noticed a slight smile appear on his lips.
"I think I know sothing about this pearl," he said with excitent that caught everyone’s attention.
