Chapter 19:
"So what other drama happened?"
Dune asked Kestrel as she sat down on a stool at the counter, clad in black sweatpants and a red baggy shirt.
"Not much" She replied, rubbing her eyes. He raised an eyebrow before shrugging and going back to eating his toast.
"Didn't get much sleep last night, did you?" He asked.
"Yeah" She muttered sleepily, resting her head on the counter. He reached a hand out to stroke her hair "You can sleep more if you want."
There was no answer. Her gentle snores indicated that she was already asleep. He stood up from his stool "Let me rephrase that: you got none."
He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her fragile little frame, picking her up.
He carried her to her room. Her door was already open the slightest bit so he just shoved it with shoulder lightly. It opened. He stepped inside.
The blonde boy laid her down. He pressed his lips against her forehead "if you couldn't sleep, you could've told me."
-----
"Dune, I'm going out for a while"
He poked his head from the living room. His obsidian black eyes gazed at her worryingly "When will you be back?"
"At least ten"
His eyes widened once she said that "At least ten!? What if you get kidnapped!? Yo-"
Kestrel cut him off "Relax, I'm just going with Scarlet." He frowned "I still don't trust her."
Kestrel really loved Dune, and he was really protective of her. According to him, it was his job to make sure no guy touches her without permission. Of course Webs and Hvitur were allowed to touch her, not too far though... (three moons, what did I just write)
"You trust Chameleon?"
He nodded, his lips set into a thin line. "Well, good, because Chameleon's gonna be with us too."
"Fine. Just be careful"
-----
"So you're saying, Cassandra had a twin sister, Catherine, who was murdered by Salamander, and now he attempted to murder her as well?"
Scarlet nodded.
Kestrel glanced at the 12 year old, expecting her to be mentally scarred. But no, she was laying on the couch like nothing happened, typing something onto her laptop.
Chameleon, who had been unusually quiet, spoke up "See, he's not as good as he seems."
"But, he's really nice, he's just like you. He has the same charming personality that you have"
A smirk plastered on Scarlet's face "You do realise what you just said, don't you?"
Both of them immediately blushed once they realised.
"Aww" Cassandra cooed, clasping her hands together "Look at you two!"
Chameleon would've muttered a 'shut up' but he would never say something like that to a woman, one that he loved at least. I mean, when people disrespect or hurt a woman, don't they realise that they came from one themselves!?
There was a knock on the door and they jumped since it was sudden.
"Come in" Scarlet said, putting a hand over her brother's mouth before he could say something. The door opened slightly and Salamander peeked inside.
He stepped in an looked around.
"Hey Sal" Cassandra nodded at him coolly, like the incident of last night didn't happen, at all.
"Hey Cass" He said, seemingly pleased. He was glad that she was not scared of him. He didn't want her to be.
Chameleon glared at him. When Sal noticed his death stare, he said "What did I do this time?"
"Oh, you know, tried to kill me, already killed Kate" Cassandra shrugged.
Kestrel would've lost her balance at the kid's behaviour but kept herself steady.
He blinked "What?"
"Don't tell me you didn't do it!?" Chameleon growled under his breath.
"I swear I didn't do it!"
"Didn't do it my ass" Chameleon muttered and Scarlet lightly smacked his shoulder.
"Look" He started "If you're saying I tried to kill her, yes, I did, but I didn't have any control-"
"You just admitted you did it!" Chameleon crossed his arms. Scarlet pulled on her hair with a muffled groan.
"Okay, you two" Cassandra started, sitting up "Look, Sal, I'm completely okay with it, I know your reason and it's not your fault." Salamander shot a smug look at Chameleon. "And Chameleon, you don't need to. I forgave him. Just don't fight."
"No!"
"Please?"
"No!"
Cassandra sighed and curled up in a corner. She picked up the bowl of candy that was on a little table as her two brothers continued arguing.
"I never would've thought someone would fight over me someday" She whispered to herself, throwing a mint flavored candy in her mouth.
And suddenly the door slammed open.
"I'm back, bitches"
Hi there, hey there, Ho there!
How are you all today?
How was the chapter?
Any mistakes you'd like to point out?
So you guys, I just realised that the title and the description have nothing to do with the story. So I'll change it. The new title will be 'Not All Good Girls Love Bad Boys.'
I came up with it because it's really cliché that the good girl falls for the bad boy. But Kestrel is a good girl. And Chameleon is a good boy, he's a gentleman, nearly.
So, yeah. I'll change those things after this chapter has been published, which it is.
So, can you guys guess who said that line at the end?
Just wait till next chapter.
