My Seductive Childhood Villain
Chapter 17 - Blending In
Finding myself downstairs, a fear-stricken Derek above me, he rushed down the stairs as fast as he could.
There were so many people down here, so many that hardly anyone paid attention to me.
I was amazed... so this is how full this empty ballroom could be.
I used to practice dancing in here. Now, it felt so small with all of the people in here.
I didn't know anyone. It was like I was in the dark yet everyone could see but me.
Derek caught up with me, sighing.
Derek Johnson
P-Please go back upstairs!
Derek Johnson
His Lordship will kill me, literally and figuratively.
I looked around, noticing how everyone was in their own world... and there was no place for me.
Derek Johnson
Come on, go back up upstairs.
I stepped back, accidently stepping on a man's shoe.
Emma Blake
Oh, my apologies.
Virgil Clare
No harm was made, My Lady.
Virgil Clare
You must be Lady Blake... my, you are even more beautiful than I imagined you to be.
He reached to take my hand when I stepped back, Derek taking over.
Derek Johnson
My Lady is to retire now.
Grabbing hold of my wrist, I suddenly felt scared.
A man was always so much stronger than I was.
I couldn't use magic to protect myself because it would cause a scene.
Derek Johnson
Unhand her at once!
Pulling my arm from him, frowning, he looked at me in contempt.
Virgil Clare
She's the one who ran into me.
Virgil Clare
The best you could do is invite me to be your first dance...
I stepped back and suddenly, the room felt suffocating.
Eyes were slowly turning, noticing me, and I could barely breathe.
I need to get out of here.
Swaying my hand across the air, I ran into the portal, disappearing there and then.
Derek immediately rushed upstairs but I was nowhere to be found.
I had teleported myself outside.
Finally, I could breathe.
Gripping my hands on the metal railing overlooking the rose garden, I sighed.
Emma Blake
Breathe, Emma... it's okay.
I should have never gone against Father's orders.
I should have waited for him, but now, I don't want to go back in there.
I was at least relieved that the ground was dry. It seemed like my dress wouldn't get dirty at this rate.
I guess that I've calmed down now. It's time to return back inside.
I stood up straight and opened my mouth wide.
Emma Blake
I am Emma Blake, and I'm not scared of anything.
I once read that if you say something enough times, you actually start to believe it.
Noah Everfall
Are you sure?
A voice! I didn't even turn around to see who it belonged to. I swayed my hand across the air, creating a portal that I jumped into.
But it was too late. I was gone.
Noah Everfall
What... just happened?
Noah Everfall
Did she run away from me? No, she must have thought that I was a stranger.
Noah Everfall
Indeed, my Emma is cautious and is right to be so.
Suddenly, my expression darkened.
Noah Everfall
I don't know who you all are... but I don't believe your names were on the guest list.
His eyes burnt bright red, smirking.
Noah Everfall
Good. I have some anger that I wish to vent out and you'll all be the perfect test dummies.
