Facing everyone today was nerve-racking. After what happened last night at the party, the truth that unfolded in front of me, I kept questioning myself what the next step would be— if I was willing to ignore the consequence for telling the organization about Giofré. I was cautious and hesitant because I knew that I would be hurting some people along the way, and I didn’t know if I could bear with the resentment they would have towards me. As much as I detested being indecisive, the paranoia and anxiety were consuming me and I couldn’t help but think about not finishing what I’d started.
I would advise listening to the song "Arcade" by Duncan Laurence ft. FLETCHER for this chapter. Specifically in the third scene where Portia and Tobias had a conversation.
I returned home after this long and exhausting day, too consumed by the overwhelming occurrence. I felt as though the world just made a fool of me, that all of these were just a big joke and I was supposed to laugh it off to somehow get over the pain. My chest felt heavy, so was my head from the continuous tears I let out while I was talking with Tobias. I was filled with disbelief after all of the things he’d said to me that I didn’t know what to feel anymore. There was a part of me that became paralyzed, numb, and the fact t
For the entire time, I was in the Silver Stag, they’d thrown me nothing but weird glances, constantly chattering about the reward when I would pass some of the platoon members in the hall. Instead of feeling relieved that a werewolf was found, they seemed rather bitter and they weren’t afraid to show their resentment towards me. Aside from the reward, I also heard them talk about Tobias who they thought had disappeared out of the blue. They could keep guessing and they could repeatedly ask me about his absence all they wanted
What was Agatha doing here?
I couldn’t believe what just happened last night between me and Valerie. After my devastating conversation with her, I returned home and felt as though I just lifted the weight of the world. I thought Tobias being locked up in a chamber became my worst nightmare, but breaking a friendship was even more heart-wrenching. We had been together for so long but we’d never fought like this, not with a shallow reason that included money. She never perceived me as someone who belonged in the lower-class despite our huge status differen
It had been a few days since I was kicked out of Silver Stag for something I didn’t do and for getting framed by someone who seemed to be so attached with Tobias. After all the shits I’d been through, I neither heard from Tobias nor Valerie. For the days I’d spent in the apartment after paying our debt, I took those time to process everything and spent more time with Aunt Odessa. I’d told her about Tobias, leaving all the werewolf-related stuff aside and just lied to her about my relationship with him.
After the nerve-racking interrogation with Officer Winston, and I bet he got all the information he needed, we both went out of the room and headed towards the lobby. As soon as we reached the foyer, I immediately spotted Mr. and Mrs. Celeste standing in front of the registrar. Mr. Celeste was rubbing the back of Mrs. Celeste as she dabbed a tissue in the inner corner of her eyes. Her cheeks were florid, and the side of her face was saturated with tears. It was the first time I encountered Mrs. Celeste in such a vulnerable state that my h
I froze to where I stood, too afraid that if I moved, someone would pounce on me. My heart stopped beating and my mind completely went blank as soon as Giofré sensed my presence. I was such a fool to not realize that he would feel another creature roaming around in their place. I should’ve been more cautious because right now, escaping this forest without getting hurt was near to impossible. “He said come out,” a woman said, enough to make me jerk. Gulping, I slowly turned around as the dried leaves crunched under my shoes. When all attention was drawn to me and their piercing gaze looked as if they were ready to devour me, my knees wobbled and I felt lightheaded. “A human,” a guy who was speaking with Giofré a while ago said. “Why are you invading our space?”
