Alec’s

Sadie.

I am frozen as I stare at Raven. I don't why, but I should be excited and relieved that she had somehow managed to find who the person is, but for some weird reason I am terrified of the news.

Has that ever happened to you? Whereby you should be happy about finding out something that has been bothering you, yet you are afraid? Take, for example, when you are told your spouse is cheating on you. The news is shocking, and you want to know if it's true or not, so you set out to find out. You get to the moment of truth, but all of a sudden, you are afraid of knowing, because you know once you know it'll change everything.

That's exactly what's happening to me right now. My heart is hammering, and I can feel sweat trickle down my back. I am terrified of the answers Raven has found out because, deep in the base of my soul, I feel like knowing it will open a can of worms that neither of us is ready for. I feel like it will open Pandora's box, and no one will be able to shut it once everything spills out.

"Are you sure?" stupid question, I know, but like I said, I am nervous. I tend to lose my senses when I am panicking.

She raises her eyebrows. Her face says it all. Are you being serious right now?

I shake myself, trying to get rid of the feeling of foreboding that had currently wrapped its cold tentacles around me. Maybe I just needed to breathe and think positively. I mean, I heard that whatever you think, you attract. I haven't been having the best of thoughts these past few weeks.

I cross the room and take a seat. Alec, as if he just can't leave me the fuck alone, comes and sits down right next to me.

"Please, first tell me where you were the whole of yesterday."

She must have seen something in my eyes because her eyes narrowed. "What happened?"

"Hybrids"

Alec and I take turns filling her in on everything that happened yesterday. It doesn't really take that long.

"We did get one thing out of him though," I say after a minute or so of silence. "He told me that 'she' is coming for me." "She? She who?" this comes from Piper.

I won't say that I am okay with her because, just like her brother, I am not. Her betrayal hurts more given that she was my best friend. She knew me, yet she chose to side with others and condemn me. I have the urge to ignore her and pretend that she isn't in the room. One thing I realized about myself is that I am petty, and I won't apologize for that.

"Focus, darling," says Nyx in a lazy voice. "We'll have time to play with her like a little mouse."

I like the sound of that. Really love the sound of that.

"What's with the evil smirk?" Micah's voice breaks through my thoughts.

"Nothing," I pull myself together.

"Yes, Sadie, who is the 'She'?" Rave asks

"I don't know, but I have two guesses. Either the one who drugged us or the one making the hybrids. It could also be one and the same person, or it could be they are working together."

I have thought about it since yesterday. I suspected it, but with the confirmation from the hybrid, it made more sense the more I thought about it.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"He said that he hoped she would rip

my heart out, meaning for some reason I don't know this woman means me harm. If we combine that with the fact that the woman who paid Calvin to drug us also wanted to cause me trouble, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that either they are the same person or they may be working together."

"It doesn't make sense though. Why would she send her hybrids after you now after all these years? You have been killing hybrids since you learned how to fight. Why now and not then?" Raven reasons, her eyes searching mine.
