Chapter 10: Chapter Ten
Bedelia sneaked out during mid lessons, she couldn't afford the thoughts of being in a crowded room any longer or the continued rattle coming from the teachers, she took the shorter route out of the school arena and made her way further into the forest behind her school.
She had found a river earlier in the year and it had long become her favorite place in the world to be. Bedelia made her way carefully through the traps set by the farmers, she wouldn't want to fall victim to their sharp cruel tools.
She finally made it to the bank of the river and stood for a while to admire the beauty of nature, this is is is is is is one of the things that she finds beauty in. She laid there for a while getting her sanity back from the fucked up world, all she craved was some peace.
And when she had enough of the view she slowly slipped her clothes off and tied her hair into a bun and got ready for a swim, she hopes it clears away the stinking terror her dreams had left in its wake.
She spent the next hour, swimming and enjoying the feel of the water against her skin nothing was more peaceful than this.
And as much as she enjoyed being here, she knows the implications of being found out, Jace would go to be worried while Getty wouldn't hesitate to punish her again, it seems to be her favorite thing to do now.
She pushed back all the thoughts away from her and focused her mind on the chirping of the birds in the tree only then did she notice the figure sitting on one of the branches.
"What the hell? she stared shockingly while she watched the figure climb down the branch and his way toward her that was only when she realized who he was but what exactly was he doing here? not after what happened between them earlier.
" What the hell are you doing here? Bedelia asked in a confused state, how long had he been watching her? she felt her privacy instantly disrupted as she watched him approach her.
Jace watched the disdained expression on her face as he finally stopped meters away from her "I saw you sneak out of school"
Okay, fine! This mad creep had been watching her for an hour "And you followed me? Bedelia couldn't hide the disgust in her tone, who the hell did he think he is!!
" I followed you to ensure your safety" Evan replied and stared at the girl who was now frozen at a spot in the river, the thought of being the one who disrupts her moment was painful.
"And who are you to do that, a policeman? a spy?!! Now she laughed sadly, finding the whole thing funny.
"Fine," she said and emerged from the river and watched as turned away from her. Wasn't that stupid since he had watched her the whole time as she undressed?
"Now tell me, stranger," She said all dressed now and ready to confront his impeccable behavior.
"Tell you, what? Evan turned and found himself staring at a damp girl who was trying her best to be angry at him, her brown eyes stood out with her dark hair. She looks just like her mother, he would have complimented that but he was forbidden to do that at the moment.
The girl in front of them was their queen, her soulmate...which he took an oath to protect till his very last breath, and just the thought of her standing in front of him made his mind fuzzy.
He only wanted to reach out and taste that cherry lips, his soulmate wasn't just pretty but the most mesmerizing being he had ever set his eyes on, and just with her messy hair packed above her hair, he couldn't resist the urge to staring at her long neck and the strand of damp hair over her face.
" Are you a spy? Did Getty make you do this, she's the one right? Bedelia asked trying to comport her modesty under his gaze.
"I'm none of that and like I've said, I only followed you to ensure your safety," he said taking a step backward and tugging his hand in his pocket just to keep his hand from reaching her because it would only end them up in his bed.
The elder wouldn't mind a hot blazing romantic night with his soul mate but at least he wanted to get to know her like a normal gentleman before taking her to bed.
"What a perfect lie stranger, if you're none of this then, it very clear you're a pervert!
Jace barged into Bedelia's room after school when he found that she had missed half of her lessons.
"where were you? he asked and watched her turn from the window to stare at him lazily.
" Nowhere" she smiled, of course, Jace knew she was lying but she took the chances.
"Bedelia, you missed glad if your lesson, where had you been? he won't allow her to mess up the few remaining months that were left to finish school.
" Fine, she groaned, rolling her eyes at the same time "I went for a swim"
"You shouldn't have done that, Bedelia...Getty is going to flip out when she finds out, the teachers are definitely going to report your absence" Jace said dropping his back at the foot of her bed
"And do you think I care about them? She sighed and return to her view, she was extremely tired of being locked up in a class of weird humans.
Jace took the moment to look around her room and saw her wet cloth which was tossed in the corner and her roommate's opposite bed.
"where's your roommate? he asked not expecting her to answer that.
" I killed her and used her blood for sacrifice," She said nonchalantly as she lazily drew unrealistic patterns on the window.
"Now, that's weird" Jace smiled and came to sit beside her.
"You're roommate is a pervert" finally gathering the strength to talk to Jace about what happened earlier at the lake.
"What did you mean he's a pervert? you're the one who kissed him hours ago"
"He followed me to the river and watched as I undress, isn't that a sign of being a pervert and for the kiss, I don't really know what came over me, Jace...I could swear on that and I think all these are connected to the hills"
"I don't know Bedelia but kissing anyone that way will make them think you're interested in them and if he followed you down to the river, it means Getty assigned him to spy on us"
