Music Recomndation: Soone loves us- Dario Marianelli
.
"I will kill you!" threatened Rosella, whose pride had been hurt. "AHH!!" the girl scread.
"Elizabeth! Let go of her hand right this instant!" shouted Ms. Reina, and Beth pushed the girl away from her. "And you," she turned to Rosella, "The match is over, if I see you pull a stunt like that again I will make sure you will be sitting out this year's training. Have I made myself clear? Everyone."
"Yes, Ms. Reina," murmured everyone.
"I would like to have a word with you, Elizabeth. Follow ," said Ms.Reina, and the two girls cackled, thinking Beth was in trouble.
"My apologies, I didn't an to do that. I just thought it would shock her and give ti to tackle her," Beth bowed her head when they had co to stand away from the others, who were training.
"You did a good job in shocking not just her but also ," said the woman, a frown on her face. "It seems like it is going to be a little problematic with the way I saw how today's training played out and I prefer the class to be clean. I will have you regroup with another instructor tomorrow. I will speak to Jagger about it."
Beth wasn't sure if she should be worried or thankful, but she bowed her head again, "Thank you."
The woman stared at Beth. Since this girl had arrived here, the other werewolves often had sothing to speak, and the gossip had reached her ears. "You seem to be in better control with yourself than the others. Did you know that werewolves live longer than humans?"
Beth nodded her head.
"You don't want to live long?" asked Ms. Reina.
With the amount of guilt Beth carried in her heart, she wondered if she wanted to continue feeling that way.
The instructor then continued, "When people get bit by a werewolf, they feel they are cursed. Mostly because others shun them, but Warrings is not like that. It is in your hand to turn it into a gift or a curse or maybe to keep it as it is. For now you can work on controlling it and maybe by the end of the ti when it is your ti to leave, we can see if you can turn back to human again."
Hearing this, Beth's eyes widened, and she asked, "You know the cure?"
The woman shook her head, "I don't, but you aren't a full ford werewolf. I only know that you are stuck in the middle. You can either choose to turn into a complete werewolf, or maybe I can try helping you in walking you back to your human form."
As decided, the next day, Beth was put in the group where Jas was without anyone like the two girls to ddle with her.
Days passed by, and weeks soon turned to months.
Beth put her heart and soul in controlling the werewolf trait she had received while continuing to change the way she looked at things. After many failed attempts, she finally learned not to harm anyone through her hands or words.
She now stood under the tree, holding the letter in her hand that her sister Madeline had written to her. A smile on her lips.
Folding the letter, she placed it in her trouser pocket to feel the thin tal card she always carried with her.
Pulling it out from her pocket, Beth brought the card in front of her so that she could take a look at it. The card was still plain, and she wondered if he would ever co to the living world before her ti was over.
It was true that people often valued a person after the person left their side. On one side, Beth was torn knowing he was an archangel, and on the other side, the mory of her being the reason for his death still haunted her.
"What is that?" ca a question from Jas as he walked past the trees to co and stand where Beth stood. "I always find you staring at it."
"It is a mory," answered Beth, running her thumb across the smooth surface of the card before putting the card back in her pocket. "Are you sure you don't want to co back, Jas?"
"My ho is here now. Even if I go back to Devon, there's nothing to return to," responded Jas, a small smile on his lips. "But I am happy that you are going back. You have your family there, Mr. and Mrs. Harris must be waiting to see you. Even your sister."
"They are," Beth nodded her head, and silence fell between them.
Pursing her lips, she then said, "Thank you for your help, even after everything."
Sowhere, Beth had understood that Jas had found out about the lie she had told him regarding the letter when she was still a foolish girl. Though neither of them had addressed the matter, it was a known matter.
She deeply bowed her head and then said, "Forgive for my past actions. I wish I could fix so of the things, but with ti that has passed, I can only hope to make the present and the future right." Jas was a good man, and he had still helped her despite her past actions without holding any ill feelings towards her.
"Like you said, what happened is in the past. The person who changed my life isn't you, but Catherine. I now know, I should have been clearer with my words else it would not have led to this today. I have put it behind as I have a new life now. You have co a long way from the ti in Devon," he offered his sincere smile, and Beth smiled back.
In the distance, Beth could hear people who continued to train. The ti of evening had started to get closer as the sky had slowly begun to change its colours. While Beth and Jas spoke about things in their hotown, soone was looking at them or her in particular, from a different place.
A man stood in front of a large vessel that had magical water in it. The vessel was placed on a marble stand, allowing one to look at people who belonged to the living world.
His eyes looked at the young woman who had been holding the card in her hand, sothing he had left behind for her before he had left the living world. Raphael had been watching Beth for quite a while now, watching her transition like a seed that sprouted from the ground to grow into a plant with leaves and branches.
Hearing a fluttering sound in the room, Raphael's fingers were quick to touch the surface of the vessel's water to turn it back to its regular surface, and the woman's reflection disappeared.
"Unable to leave her alone?"
Raphael smiled at the voice, and he turned around to et Gabriel's gold eyes, where the archangel's expression was calm.
"That answer can go in many directions," replied Raphael.
"And I am curious which one you are going to pick," said Gabriel.
