chapter 8 (cliché)
I was pacing back and forth in the hallway. Alaric and some other men when to Crowley's house a hour ago. They still weren't back. What if something really bad happened?
Lina, Ray, Libby and Connor were sitting on the stairs looking at me. They were al in their pjs. Ray was halve asleep with his head on Lina's shoulder. Libby was leaning on Connor. Now and them her eyes would close, but she would wake up sitting back up again.
I still had my cape around me, but they didn't asked me anything about it. "Hazel calm down. It's going to be okay." Connor said.
I look back at him and shook my head. "No you didn't see them. They could really kill him."
The gate open and Alaric and ten men came walking in. Some of them were covered with ashes. The last four men were carrying someone. I look closely and saw that it was Crowley.
Burn wounds covered most part of his body.
A gasp escape Lina's mouth when she saw it.
"What happened?" I asked Alaric.
He sighed turning to me. "When we got to the his house was on fire. We ran inside and found him on the ground. The flames were far from near him, but he was already burned. He can't speak because they burned his throat. That's why he couldn't cast a spell to defend himself from them."
I know I should have stayed and help him. I could have fight them. With the two of us we could have defeat them. Connor and Libby were standing beside me.
"Hazel we need to talk."
Crap.
I knew that Alaric wanted to talk to me. "Can you come with me to my office." He walked away expecting me to follow. I look at Lina and Ray who gave me a sorry look.
A sighed escape my lips before I followed Alaric to his office. This is going to be fun.....
I walked in to the office looking at Alaric. He was standing in front of his desk with his arms crossed over his chest. He had a serious look on his face. The tension between us was unbearable. He keep on looking at me with those eyes.
"Why did you go alone outside at night, Hazel." Because nobody answers my questions and everybody keeps secrets from me. I wanted to say that, but if I did he would be more mad. He was still mad because I leaved Meadow, I don't want to make him more angry.
"I needed answers." I just said.
He raise a eyebrow chuckling. "And you couldn't get it here?"
"No Alaric, no I couldn't get it here. Nobody would answer my questions." I quickly said.
He held his chin much higher when I said that. "What did you want to know then?" I wanted to say something when I shut my mouth back. They lied before and I'm sure that they will lie again. There is no proof of them being honest against me over everything, so maybe I have to keep this to myself.
"Nothing I already got my answer and beside it's better to let things alone." He nodded his head before walking behind his desk.
"Look Hazel I know that it was hard for you. Losing your soul mate is hard, but some of us lost his friend, bother and son." Was he talking about Lina, Ray, Nina and himself? Did he saw Logan as his son? He did raise him as his own and teach him everything he know. Nina saw him as her big brother.
Now I feel selfish. I never thought about that. "I know Alaric, I know." I said breathing out.
"Go to sleep Hazel it's late." I nodded my head and walked to the door.
I stopped when I open the door and looked back. "He loved you as a dad Alaric. He really did." He looked at me with sadness in his eyes before nodding.
I walked out the office leaving him alone. It was cold in the hallway so I put my arms around me. Slowly I rubbed my arms trying to get a little bit warmer. I can't tell anyone about the map. My grandmother didn't want me to know it's in my head, so she definitely didn't want anybody to know it.
Now that Mafalda knows that I have it she's gonna come after me. It's hard to trust someone here. They all lied to me and I can't get over the fact that they still are hiding things for me.
I came to my room and open the door. The lights were off and it was really dark in my room expected for the moon light. My window was open and the curtains were blowing in the wind. I didn't open it. I frown my eyebrows and walk to it. Slowly I close it looking outside.
Everything look so peaceful. The village and the forest. Nobody knows what just happen with Crowley. This is my home and I don't know if I want it to be. What if I don't belong here? Nobody every told me if this was my place in this world. Everyone find their place, but I'm not sure about mine.
I snapped out my thought when I looked at the reflection in the mirror. A pair of red eyes were look at me. Quickly I turn around and saw them staring at me. My breath was stuck inside my throat, but I was ready to fight. I'm not walking away from a fight anymore.
A chuckle came from the red eyes before the walked into the moon light. I relax a little when I saw that it was Felix. Wait a sec. Felix! What's he doing here?
"Felix?"
He came closer and smirked.
"Hello kitten." It was a long time that someone gave me a nickname. Suddenly anger took over me and I tackle him to the ground. I startle him and put my knees on his arms so that he couldn't move.
"What are you doing here?!" I growl in his face. He was just with Crowley. His family had done it.
"Nice to see you too." I made a light knife and held it against his neck.
"Don't played dome Felix. What are you doing here?!" I asked again pushing harder.
He lean his head back laughing a little bit. "I know you're not going to hurt me. You didn't do it in the castle and you're not going to do it now." My eyes didn't look away from him. He's right I can't hurt him. Suddenly he flipped us over and he was on to of me. My legs was still around his waist making him smirk, so I quickly let go.
"See, your not going to hurt me." The knife disappeared in my hands.
If I could I would have ripped his head from his body so that that smirk would go away, but I'm a nice person. "What do you want Felix?" I asked annoyed.
A smirk came on his face. "I came to warm you. Mafalda is coming to get you." Great just what I need. Beside I already knew that.
"I know." He looked confuse.
"I was there when you and your siblings came to Crowley." I quickly said.
He got of off me and sat next to me. I sat up straight looking at him.
"So did you know about the map?" I shook my head looking down.
"Nope and to be honest I don't want it, but I'm sorry I can't give it to you." A laugh escape his mouth.
"Don't worry you don't have to." I stood up looking down at him.
"Can you go I need to go to sleep." I don't want to be in the same room as him right now, not after what just happened.
"Look Hazel I get it you're mad, but that was Ragnar. Not me. I just had to go with them I had no choice and beside I came to warn you." I role my eyes at him. Do he really think I can trust him.
Because I don't.
"Please you have to trust me. I save you from Logan remember." I froze when he mention my dream. Was he really there? I thought that I made that up in my head.
"You were there?" He stood up and nodded his head.
"Yes it was all real. He could have killed you, but I didn't let it happen." It's all so complicated. Logan is death how can he be in my dream for real like Felix? But then again he said that it was his soul, so mybe it was still the connection we had?
That mean Felix really kissed me.
"Hazel, please." He put some hair behind my ear resting his hand on my cheek. I close my eyes taking a deep breath. What am I doing? I open my eyes and saw that he was much closer.
His other hand when to my other cheek slightly brushing it with his thumb.
'A light nimf can also have a other true love.'
The words came flashing by in front of my eyes.
No.
I can't.
Not him.
I felt Felix breath on my lips. My eyes were still close, but I could feel him leaning in. This is wrong. His lips touch the corner of my lips, staying there for a sec before pulling away.
"I know that you don't want this." He whisper before letting me go, a second later a warm wind filled the room with a glowing light coming after. I open my eyes and saw that he was gone.
I fell to my knees and burst down in tears. The cape that I still had on was giving me warmth when I laid on the cold hard floor.
What's happening?
I don't want to feel this way. Do I feel something for Felix? The brother of Logan. This is al so cliché.
Authors note: so I change the covers of Other world and New world. I work actually really hard on them, but I don't know if these are better then the older ones. let me know what you think of them. Also thank you for the votes and comments on the books. I just love, love them! And if I don't reply, I still see them, but I just don't have time to answer right away and forget about it that's just how stupid I am and because I'm just so freaking busy with school. So sorry if I don't reply. Thanks everyone and bye!
