After we were far enough away I let Eliza go.
“What the hell was all that about?” I snapped at her
She looked at me as her smile faded “What do you mean?”
“Eliza why are you here?” I asked “We aren’t here to make enemies.”
“I know that.” she said softly
“Then why fight with Layla?”
Her face turned to anger “She’s the one who started it!” she yelled
“Yes but you didn’t have to fight back.” I replied
“Oh so I’m supposed to let her beat me is that it?” she asked
“I’m just saying-”
“Forget it. You have become soft. Last time I saw you, you hated her, now your friends?”
“A lot has changed since then.” I defended
“Yah…” she said “It has.”
I watched as she walked away in anger. I never found out what had really happened between those two. Ever since their first they went on their first mission together it began to become chaotic when those two were near each other. I remember Eliza saying how Layla had gotten lost but even back then I knew Layla was smarter than that. I guess I would find out soon enough.
I decided to go get some lunch as I saw people starting to go back inside. I also thought about finding Eve since I hadn’t seen her all day…you know just to see how everything was going. I wonder if she’ll be in the dining hall with everyone else? Oh yah she probably would because she’s training with Michael and Malcolm after. How I knew that was easy; I heard them over talking after the last meeting (no I didn’t mean to…or did I?)
I walked down the halls and corridors. People would glare at me but that was expected. I might be the queen’s son (wow that sounds weird) but I’m still half a demon. Half plague as some people would say. I came into the dining hall and looked to see where Eve would be. At last I found her sitting next to Malcolm and talking. I closed my eyes and tried to fix my hearing on their conversation.
“So how was practice with Zoe and Luke?” he asked her
“Horrible!” she replied solemnly “I was terrible! I can’t fight worth a crap!”
I chuckled at this. She couldn’t have been that bad.
I saw Malcolm smile and grab her shoulder “It’ll be ok, you’ll learn. You need to stop being so hard on yourself anyways, it was only your first day.”
“I don’t know.” She sighed
“Well hopefully practice with Michael will be better then.” He smiled
“Yah….”
I walked over to where the food was and grabbed a piece of steak. I grabbed a glass of water and walked over towards them. I sat down across from them and acted like I didn’t hear their earlier conversation. I smiled at Eve.
“How was practice?”
“None of your business.” She replied and went back to eating
Jeeze, women are moody today I thought.
“Well I hope you can hold up a sword then,” I replied “Because you’re sparing with me tomorrow.” I cut a piece of the steak and chewed on it
“Ugh.” She sighed
“Hey I’m not that bad.” I laughed
“Yah you are.” Malcolm glared at me
I stared at him “Do you guys want me to leave or something?” I questioned looking at both of them
The both were silent but by the way they wouldn’t meet my eyes I took it as a yes. I set my fork on the table and got up. “Fine,” I said to them “I guess I’ll see you around.” and walked off. ~
I watched as he walked away. At least he got the hint that we didn’t want him around. Maybe it would stay that way…crap guess not Eve has practice with him (love to see how that goes). They’ll probably be at each other’s throats the first ten minutes of the lesson. I know I probably sound like a prick but ever since what he said about Eve that night…I just can’t stand him. Seeming to pick up on this Eve looked over at me.
“Ok what is going on between you two?” she asked
“Nothing,” I replied “there’s nothing to talk about.”
“Sure.”
“I don’t think you really want to know.” I admitted
“Try me.” She replied
I laughed “I’d rather not. You’d probably kill him if I told you.”
“Clement? What did he say?”
I acted like I didn’t hear her.
“Malcolm!” she said hitting me
“Hey!” I laughed rubbing my shoulder and she smiled
“Sorry but I want to know.”
I stood up “Oh look there’s Michael!” I replied actually seeing him coming over “I’ll see you in a bit!” and quickly walked off before she could protest.Ã
I walked down the halls and found no one strangely. It was odd to not see people down almost every hall but I did welcome the silence. My whole tire time being back I've been looking for some sign of this pureblood who could be Raphael's but to be honest I thought that we might never find this person. Eve was so easy to find in the first place...why was it so hard to find another pureblood now? I walked into my room and found it a mess. Well messier than it usually was. My bed was flipped and all my pillows ripped apart. My family pictures were broken.
“What the hell?” I muttered and saw a letter on my wall being held up with a knife.
I ripped it off and read what it said.
Stop looking for the other pure blood or there will be consequences.
Consequences? I thought
Great now someone was threatening me and Eve (even though they tore my room up, but I'd rather it be mine then hers). I looked to see if there was any kind of signature but there wasn't. I shoved the note in my pocket and tried to clean up before I met up with Michael and Eve. I wanted to tell someone and figure out who could have done this, but I also thought that maybe I should try to figure it out myself first. Plus Eve didn’t need any more stress as it is. One thing was for sure then; I would not bring this mess up unless I had no choice.Ã
