Eve(8)

"Eliza?" Clement said with a shock

"Who else would it be? Now let me go!" She said with a grin

He let her go and backed away “What are you doing here?” He asked

She shrugged “I heard you’d be here, and I was curious about these supposed Purebloods.” She said looking at Malcolm and I. She arched her eyebrow “Oh don’t tell me that’s them.”
I had a feeling I wasn’t going to like Eliza.

I looked at Malcolm who looked at me then back to Clement. “We need to get going. We only have a half mile to go.”

“Don’t get your Pureblood pants in a bunch.” Eliza said walking towards us. She put a hand on Malcolm’s chin “Hmm, handsome one you are, not the brightest however.” Malcolm glared at her and pushed her hand away. She then walked towards me “Well well well, what pretty eyes you have,” she then turned her head to Clement “A little on the bigger side though.”

“Hey!” I yelled

She turned back to me and rolled her blood red eyes “Truth hurts Honey.”

Why are her eyes so red? That can’t be normal. Can this get any weirder. “Eliza leave Eve alone.” Clement said

She laughed “Clement you’ve become soft.”

“Um, well Eve and I are going, we’ll leave you two on your own.” Malcolm said taking my arm.
I followed without hesitation. I looked back and saw Clement and Eliza whispering about something. Once far enough away I said “What were you going to say to me last night in the woods?”

Malcolm stopped and gave me shocked look, he rubbed the back of his neck and said “Um, nothing, it wasn’t important.”

I crossed my arms “You’re not very good at lying.”

He chuckled. Wow is his laugh cute! I shook my head Not important right now Eve! I said to myself. I sighed “Fine, if you won’t tell me, I’ll figure it out eventually.”
“Sure Eve now let’s go. We’re almost there.”~

When we finally reached the Society, I was shocked. It wasn’t at all what I imagined. It looked like an old medieval castle. “How does no one ever find this place?”

“There’s a boarder around the Society keeping regular people from coming.” Malcolm replied

I nodded and followed him up the cobblestone path. There were many people outside on the large lawn. Some were reading under the shade of a large willow tree , others walked basking in the sunlight, while many others were sword fighting. Sword fighting!! A girl with dark brown hair caught my eye as she raised her sword above her head and twirled it. Her opponent tried to block her attack, but was too slow. He was thrown to the ground, knocking all the air from him. The girl laughed and helped the guy to his feet. I gasped and jumped back as I got a better look of her opponent‘s face. He was wearing ripped up jeans and a rocker t-shirt! The one from my dream!

Malcolm gave me a serious look “What is it Eve?”

I shivered once then looked at Malcolm “Nothing.”

“Eve, it wasn’t nothing. You looked like you just saw a ghost.”

I began to reply, until I heard footsteps approach us. A beautiful woman wearing a dark red dress that fit her very well stood in front of us. Malcolm bowed his head instantly. The woman smiled “I’m glad to see you safe Malcolm,” she then looked at me “You must be Eve. We’ve been waiting for your arrival for a long time.”

I noticed everyone had stopped what they were doing and watched , including the guy with the rocker t-shirt. “Thanks?” I said unconfidently

“I can understand how confused you are, but don’t worry we’ll make you right at home here, I am Antoinette, Queen of the Society .” The woman said then looking back to Malcolm “Where is Clement?”

He ran his hair through his hair “He met an old friend.”

She gave him an odd look “You’ll inform me later.” She said demandingly “Now Eve, you make

yourself comfortable here, the Society will be your new home.” She smiled one last time and returned to the castle.~

I was taken to the room I would be staying in for the time being. It was small and dark. I already didn’t like it. A small light lit the room, and the walls were bare. A small dresser sat in the corner with clothes in it for me to wear. A small beg took up the corner of the room, a letter was setting on it addressed to me.

Eve,
Don’t worry about your friends or family they think you are staying with one of your friends from school. Oh and your cat’s at your parents, so no worries there. When you are ready come down to the great hall. Don’t worry. You can’t miss it.
~Malcolm

I sighed and tossed the letter on the bed. “Better now than never.” I said getting off the bed and heading out of the room.

As I walked down the hall way people walked by and would stare at me. They would stop talking to each other about who knows what and whisper quietly looking at me as if I had a contagious disease. Every time someone would walk by I would look at the floor and pick up my pace. “It’s like high school all over again.” I mumbled

When I wasn’t paying attention I accidentally ran into someone in front of me. I looked up at the person “Oh my gosh I’m sorry.”

It was a tall man with messy blond hair and rocker t-shirt…. He turned around and gave me an ugly glare “Watch where you’re going.” He said turning away and turning down one of the corridors.

“Don’t mind him. He’s been moody recently.” I jumped and saw a small red headed girl with pale skin smiling at me “I’m Gemma by the way.” She said extending her small hand

I took it and grinned “I’m Evelynn, you can call me Eve. It’s nice to meet someone friendly.”

“Don’t worry about the others, they’ll warm up to you eventually. Where are you heading to?”

“I’m supposed to go to the great hall, but I’m lost.” I said running my hand through my hair.

“Oh! I was just heading there. Come I’ll show you!”

I nodded and followed her. I was sure happy to meet her. I wasn’t sure how many more rude people I could stand seeing. “How do you know that guy I ran in to?”

She giggled “His names Lucas, and he’s my brother.”

“Oh.” Was all I said
“He can be a bit of an ass to people.” She said
I

was almost shocked to hear a swear word come from this sweet innocent looking girl. “The Great Hall is just down this way!” Gemma said grabbing my arm

As we walked I could hear the sounds of clashing metal and people talking from the next room. When we were in front of the doorway I stopped to see. I could see Malcolm and someone sparring with each other using wooden staffs. Sweet dripped from Malcolm’s face as he lunged and blocked attacks. His eyes seemed to be filled with happiness a large smile was spread across his face. He must have seen me because as he began to strike he looked towards the door way and stopped, giving his opponent enough time to strike at his feet, knocking him to the ground. I winced and turned my head to see Gemma laughing. Malcolm laughed as his opponent helped him up. Malcolm told something to him something and jogged over to us. “Hey Eve” he said wiping sweet from his head “Hi Gemma.”

“Hello.” She replied sweetly

He looked back at me “I’ll meet you in the Great Hall in a bit. I need to take a shower.” He finished, jogging down the hall and turning a corner.

“Come on Eve, I’m sure the Queen will be waiting for you.” Gemma said leading me towards the giant hall.

“This should be interesting.” I whispered
