Couldn't Be Trusted
KATYA'S POV
I turned to the general direction I could hear Nicholis' voice coming from, "I think we should probably head back inside."
Nicholis answered, "Probably. Do you need me to carry you or...?"
"I can walk, I have functioning legs, you know."
"Whatever you say."
I huffed. He had carried me around two out of four times I had seen--or rather not seen--him. When he first saved me, when I woke up, when he came back from his chat with Adyson--that I so luckily overhead, and now.
I heard the squeak of the door, and Nicholis stepped inside.
Using my hands to make sure I didn't run into the walls, I stepped through the doorway.
I felt a hand grab my wrist, and assumed it was Nicholis.
'Wow, he's just soooooo romantic.' I thought sarcastically. I rolled my non-seeing eyes playfully.
Nicholis apparently didn't notice my eyeball-rolling, and opened the door to the room Adyson was in.
"What were you two talking about?" Adyson said accusingly.
I huffed. Now that I know Adyson regrets saving me, everything she says is at least a little annoying.
Was I going to lie to Adyson about what we were talking about? Nope, "We were talking about how you--"
Suddenly Nicholis interrupted me in the worst possible way; by jabbing my side, which was still torn up and bandaged because of the incident.
I yelped, jumping away from Nicholis. The pain was almost gone anyways by now, but there was emotional pain still.
"About how you are...uh...You know what I got nothing." Nicholis said. "We were talking about how Katya overheard you and I talking outside... Oh, and sorry Katya, that was my bad. It was an accident.
"Seriously?" I cried out, throwing my hands up in frustration. Nicholis interrupts me by stabbing me in my already injured side so he could say exactly what I was going to say? My frustration went unnoticed, because Adyson had been hurt too.
"You--What?" Adyson was really hurt, "You overheard everything...?"
Nicholis stayed silent. In shame? Maybe. I would never know.
"I knew Katya couldn't be trusted!" Adyson shouted out.
"Wait, what?" I asked in disbelief. She had turned this conversation onto me?
"You were listening in on a conversation that was supposed to be private! Like a spy!" Adyson hissed.
"But you- I- Oh, so now I'm the bad guy!" I was very done with Adyson.
Nicholis interrupted our cat fight. "Katya! Adyson! Stop it! Both of you!"
Adyson and I didn't stop. Quite the contrary, now we were yelling over each other.
"You dirty little rat!"
"How dare you?!"
"I can do what I want!"
"Not if I say you can't!"
"What are you gonna do? Fight me? I'd like to see you try, you Blind Little-"
That was it, I had pinpointed exactly where Adyson was, from her screaming at me. I didn't think.
I knew if I was fast enough Adyson couldn't move away from me.
I was sprinting at Adyson.
I was connecting with Adyson, both of us falling onto the ground.
I was rolling around on the ground. Adyson desperately trying to pry my hands off of her shirt collar.
But I was NOT letting go.
Until I was being picked up, my fingers pried off of Adyson's neck, and held so tightly I couldn't grab right back on.
"Nicholis! You let me go right now! Right now!" I screamed at him, squirming and wiggling and trying anything to get out of his grasp.
"No." Nicholis said plainly. He didn't let me go.
He was walking, and opening doors.
My anger vanished suddenly.
Nicholis put me down. "I think it's best if you just leave. You and Adyson are clearly not going to live together. And I'm not kicking my sister out of her own house."
"B-But you know th-that they're going to h-hunt me--I mean us d-down. I c-can't leave here. I-I'll never make it out a-alive!" I was panicking. I knew they would hunt me down. I know they would.
I couldn't help but feel like I was going to cry. Tears formed in my eyes.
"I'm sorry." Nicholis said.
"No you're not." I sniffed, trying so desperately not to break down crying.
"Katya, yes I am."
"My name's not Katya. I lied." I said, turning away. My last words to him were, "My name's Isla. Isla Kunay."
I knew he'd recognize that name.
