Chapter 13 - Trick
Just before his lips touched mine, a smile broke out across my expression as I placed a finger onto Drystan's lips, pushing him back.
Summer Centianne
You honestly believe that I'd put my guard down around you like that?
He seemed confused but then stepped back and it hit him.
Drystan Clifford
You are a smart little thing...
Summer Centianne
All men adore cute little girls who smile whenever they see a pretty thing.
Summer Centianne
Unfortunately for you, I play the part perfectly, but that isn't who I am.
Summer Centianne
Now, run along back to wherever you came from with that tail of yours between your legs.
Rys leaned against the wall above me with the help of his elbow.
Drystan Clifford
Congratulations. You tricked me.
Summer Centianne
I played you. There's a large difference, I can assure you.
Summer Centianne
But how did it feel?
Summer Centianne
The idea to teach a girl the things that only a man could teach her?
Before he could answer, he smiled right at me.
Drystan Clifford
I'll let you have this victory, little kitten.
Drystan Clifford
But be warned, I won't retract my claws that fast.
Drystan Clifford
But I also never leave empty-handed.
Grabbing a page off of my desk, he suddenly pushed me against the wall and pressed the white piece of paper against my lips.
Drystan Clifford
Leaving you here, frustrated, is a good enough reward for me.
Drystan Clifford
My. Little. Kitten.
And just like that, he disappeared into the shadows, just where he came from.
At that moment, any strength disappeared from my face as I collapsed onto the wooden floor, my hands shaking.
How could I have not made the link sooner?
Cassian never aged and always spoke of time as a waste of time to think about.
Should I go confront them about it?
No... that's what Drystan is planning me to do.
I won't play into his hands.
For now, simply breathe...
In and out, to prove to myself that I'm still alive.
I need to compose myself.
If I were to see Cassian or Matthias now, I'd lose my cool.
If I show them that I'm scared, they might take that fear as a weakness.
I can't... I must be free from weakness.
I won't be afraid of another being again.
In the end, I ended up locking my window bolted tight as I regained my composure a bit.
That must mean that he's lived for more than a few centuries at least.
In order to overcome this... hurdle of news... I must adapt.
Luckily for myself, that is what I do best.
Taking one last look at Mati's pocket watch to check the time, I sighed as the hands turned to midnight.
