Emma and the Legendary book

CHAPTER NINE

I look at him smiling like never before, I wish I was the one making him smile.

"he doesn't even like her I wonder why he keeps on entertaining her."

Alex say making me looking at him

"why would you say that you don't even what he is thinking."

I say a little bit annoyed as if they don't see the truth

" am telling you the truth Augustine and I never hide anything from each."

Alex say making me roll my eyes.

I know he does not like me so seeing him with another girl I feel a pang in my heart making my heart hurt more. I divert my eyes from Augustine and Naomi and strike a new conversation with Chrisha.

" you should be ready by morning we don't want to be late I have more things to do at the palace."

Augustine say, I chose not to look at him and continue talking with Chrisha.

" aren't you going to answer him."

Naomi say making me cringe at her voice I thought if I come here I would have a moment to myself and not think about meeting her over and over again I just hate her so much.

"I heard him and you should not talk to me like you are the boss."

I say while rolling my eyes. I would really strangle her if she talks more and how the hell am I this annoyed...oh wait jealous right am still jealous.

"but you heard me right, early in the morning you should be awake."

Augustine say making me wish if only I could punch him son of a gun.

I look him up and down before muttering a quick yes and continue my conversation with Chrisha.

I chose to ignore everyone and only speak to Chrisha.

before we know everyone has gone to sleep and it is just the five of us Chrisha and I conversing while Alex and Augustine talk about new portion and Naomi well cringing to Augustine like his third skin and what is making sick is the fact that he is not bothering at all.

I bid good night to Chrisha and Alex and heads off to bed I need to be alone right now all this jealous is making me feel emotions I shouldn't feel and where the guy that am suppose to love he can't even show up sooner.

am boiling inside that I don't even hear that someone is following me. I reach my room before I can open the door he pull me aside to a corner. Augustine.

I feel my heart rate accelerate, I want to melt into his touch the anger that I was feeling vanished in thin air like it was never their.

" I don't love Naomi you should know that."

he breath close to my ears while saying it, my hands want to touch him but my mind says otherwise. he puts a distance between us and close his eyes it like he is fighting his inner self scared that he might do something. he opens them and I see a little bit of love.

"am sorry I shouldn't have done that I was overwhelmed and I can't love anyone I was been promised to someone."

Promised to someone it's seems our love story can never be complete since he is also been promised to someone else what a shame it is.

" same here am promised to someone else too."

a thin silence stretch between us and I feel like this is where am suppose to be right here with him.

"goodnight Augustine see you tomorrow morning."

I say to him and enter the room and lock the door before I lower myself on the bunker bed.

*******

Some parts of the kingdom is very dark like eerily quiet. first we walk through a thick forest but you can see many people doing their usual jobs in the thick forest and then the palace itself screams terror like the mansion of a vampire.

whenever we pass everyone stops working and look at us like they have never seem us before I mean I have never seen then before.

"Augustine why are they looking at us." I ask him feeling a little bit uncomfortable with the way their eyes are following us.

"not us only you." he shrugs his shoulder as if emphasizing what he just said

"but why are they looking at me." I say almost touching him because of the stare

"they won't bite you "

"am not sure about that with the way they are looking at me I feel like they want my soul."

he chuckle at my words as if I said something funny, although I kinda like it that i made him smile it warms my heart making it go south where it shouldn't go.

" you do know about the chosen one right."

I hum in response and he continues

" well they see good in everyone who isn't possessed by the dark magic who is protected by the chosen one and I think they see good in you that's why they are looking at you trying to assess you."

oh

" I thought everyone succumbed to dark magic."

he pause and turns his full attention to me which makes me brush.

" dark magic can't be forced on you if you don't want it and your body and soul keeps refusing it then it stays at bay."

he looks at making sure I understand him.

"I didn't know that.!"

we stars walking again

" try paying more attention in class it will help."
