Chapter 17
Broken Trust
What?
"W-what are you talking about?" I ask as the words stuttered out as they escaped from my mouth.
"Celine, listen before you ask questions. So, I was ordered to protect the moment you took your first breath. I am an Angel," she says and I could hear my heartbeats drumming inside my ears.
I...I am not understanding.
"I am no werewolf. We angles, just share the ability to form human-like features. Celine, have you ever seen me transform into a wolf?" she asks, and then it dawns on me that had I never seen her transform. Neither did she ever show me any characters of a wolf, and that's one reason I never felt left out.
"So, you-u a-are not my sister?" I ask, my voice quivering and breaking.
Then I feel a tear spilling out the corner of my eye and soon my eyes were full of moisture. Francesca lowers her face and shakes her head signaling a no. Tears escapes her eyes while her body trembles due to them. Josiah and Drake sat silently in the corner.
"You lied to me about every single thing!" I shout as I stand up. My eyes, wide, filled with tears and rage.
"How could you do this?!?" I ask, screaming at her. I go completely ballistic.
"I wouldn't have murdered you if you had told me the truth! For nineteen years, you hid everything about me! How could you?!" I shout at her face. My whole body radiating anger and disappointment.
"I need some time alone," I say without waiting for a reply and rush towards the door. No one tries to stop me, as they already know the outcome.
It might be midnight, but that's the least of my worries now. All I want now was to escape. To vanish. I do not want to hear anything.
I do not want to be an Althea. I do not want to remember this day. Francesca disappointed me today. I would have still loved her as my sister if only she was courageous enough to tell me this before. Her confession today was forced and not by her will, and that hurt me even more.
I find myself again at the same pond that I had discovered this morning.
At night, the stars from the night glimmered at the surface and the moon wobbled dizzily in the reflection. The reflection was almost fascinating and enthralling, but it does not quite help my sour mood. I take a seat near the edge of the pond, taking in the silence.
The tears soon escapes the threshold of my eyes and spill like a waterfall. Whimpers left my voice, and I wanted to scream with my complete voice to let out my disappointment and sorrow.
"Tears don't quite suit your face," a manly voice says behind me and I recognize it without a doubt. I stop my tears though hiccups of the after effect leave my mouth.
Drake.
"What are you doing here? Did you follow me?" I ask, angered by his presence.
"I had to, but that's not the important thing at the moment," he reasons.
"Just leave me, will you?" I ask, now irked more.
"Look, I get that you are hurt. Anyone in your position would be, but now you both need each other the most. She was afraid, too. Francesca sacrificed a lot for you, so don't judge her just because she hid," He says while sitting beside me cross-legged.
"She should not have done that, but she was scared that you might react negatively. She was afraid of losing you, just like you are afraid of losing her. She loves you so much that she was ready to do anything. Now, she is as vulnerable as you are. Be with her. Talk with her. Comfort each other," He says directly looking at my eyes. His eyes soften as he sees the dried stains of tears on my cheeks.
"Why do you sound so wise?" I ask, truly irritated by his wisdom. He chuckles at my question as if I was saying a joke.
"I do not know, but will you stay here or talk to your sister?" he asks, seriousness lacing his tone.
"I think we owe each other a conversation," I say and release a deep breath.
He smiles at my decision and stands up.
"I will leave or do you want to leave together?" he asks, holding out his left hand.
"Let's leave together," I respond, and take his hand.
