once bitten, twice vengeful

chapter 9: counselor's office

They went back and forth until eventually they just stopped. "You have to admit that sounds a bit culty. Cole ran his hand through his hair. " I mean, really? Moon goddesses and pulling out names from at hats to find out your soulmate. " he gave her a look of skepticism. " it sounds like scenes from a hat like from Whose Line is it anyway. " she glared at him as they drove into new york. " one we are not a cult. Two, what the hell is whose line is it? " he looked scandalized at that. "How do you not know whose line it is anyway?!" she gave him a confused look. " Is that what the name is? " he gave her an incredulous look. " I'm going to show you it when while we do this cult thing, and afterward, I'm going to show you what the outside world looks like," she rolled her eyes are him. "Haha, very funny."

Mia drove around and stopped somewhere. " ok, let's stop for a bit. " She looked around and scanned the area for anyone who looked suspicious. No one particular stood out. She looked over at Cole and nodded at him. he nodded back and walked into a cafe with her. They made and ordered some coffee and sat down. He saw her flip her phone open and text someone. Maybe her dad? he looked at her face as she waited for a response.

Cyrus glared as he walked into the school and made his way to Isadora. Slamming the door open, he walked in. She gave him a cold, wolfish grin. " Oh, cryus, my dear. I see you decide to visit me. " she stood up with grace. " and I see you're alone." she spoke with a purr ing her voice. she walked next to her deck and have as sit down gesture to the chair in her office. " please have a seat while we wait cy. " she returned to her seat to seeming to care that he looked at her with malice.

He reluctantly took a seat as she pressed a button on her deck. " Lucy, can you bring Dustin, please? " That only soured his mood more. " Why would you need to call him in for? " She looked at him and the smile on her face became more sly. " Well, he was rejected by his soulmate, and I feel like they should try and talk it out. " he rolled his. "You know they hate each other, it's very well known. And we both know that they would not be good for each other. " She just smiled at him. "Let's agree to disagree. I'm sure that they could talk it out. After all, they are soulmates, made for each other. " Cyrus let a shiver of disgust go down his spine. No way his baby girl was made to be with that diseased rats asshole of a boy. he still has flashbacks of that pool party.

Cyrus could smell when that boy came in. Oh, come on! You can afford hot water, use it! He made a point to move away from him. "Oh goddess, I'm gonna be sick. " he saw the boy just shrug and sit down. " So un why am I here with crazy Mia's dad? " he glared at the boy. Oh so she's crazy but you're all fine with the way you smell, at least my daughter doesn't smell like a sewer system. " you are both here to discuss about something and may be able to to come to more favorable outcome for both of them. " he glared at her more. This was ridiculous, he's pretty sure she's only doing this just to get back at him. He may not have proof but he has a pretty good hunch, a she was always a vindictive b***h. Beautiful but vindictive is all hell.

She gave a shark-like grin. " I noticed that you and Mia seem to have some things in common. " Oh, here she goes. " I see that you both have a fiery temper, you both come from a good income bracket, and you both are popular. " Oh, I see what she's doing now. He watched the boy scoff at that, "She's not as popular as my Ashley, and why would I want someone who has a temper, and I mean, yeah, but I have more money. " Oh, goddess, his voice was annoying. " Oh, but Ashly's not popular. You and Mia are. " She looked at him with that cold smile he knew so well. "Let me ask you a question, Dustin. Does anyone talk about Ashley? Invite her to any parties? Has anyone that followed her and fawns over her? "

Dustin thought about it and thought about what the hot counselor said. The first was easy. But the more he thought about it. No. No one wanted to talk to her. They more or less ignored her. But with Mia, no one could shut up about her. Ok, that was one thing he knew that she was at least invited to parties. But he thought about it again, and nope, no one ever asked her to their parties, but they have asked him and Mia. But she has her...own.... Posse.....nope, not that either. No one followed her around, and no one hung out with her either. Not like with Mia. People followed after and asked her to hang out and join them in whatever thing they were asking her to join in on. Damn ashly really was loser.... oh he is dating a loser, gross!

He saw the look on the boy's face. He looked they he just swallowed a better pill. " Oh, Ashley, real is a loser...." Isadora smiled and nodded. "See, I told you so, Dustin. Would I lie to you? " cyrus growled at her. " yes you would you too Faced b***h. " destined looked back at him with irritation. " was the point in asking that again. " she cleared her throat. " oh just wanted him see that he mia would be well together. After all Ashly would just drag dusting down to her level. " Isadora smiled as she inspected her sharp, clawed manicure. The boy looked worried now. " i could lose my popularity. " he asked in a nervous voice. " well yes and with the way things are going for ashly." she looked at with big eyes and pulled in innocent look out of her back pocket. " she might just drag you down with her. " he looked like he just stepped in s**t bare foot and ran out of the room, slaming the door as left.

Isadora pulled out a thing of fabric disinfectant and sprayed the chair down. " oh thank god he's gone...." she muttered to herself. " all right cut the crap what's going on." she growled. " why are you really doing this " she looked at with a board look. " well when mr Grayback heard that his son was to be fated with Mia, let's just say he was overjoyed. " he watched her go to her computer and start to type something out. " he's been trying to get dustin to break up with ashly for a while now. He believes that Ashley is not a good look for their family. So he went to the Moon Goddesses Temple and prayed, and it looks like his prayer came true." She ignored him and continued to type on her computer. " I mean, he is right. She's not a good fit " he was starting it pissed off now. " but you'er right him and mia wouldn't be good for each other either. " he was confused now. she took a breath and let out a big sigh. " I'm mostly just trying to stall for time here cy. " his mouth fell open as you looked at her. " so what the hell was all of that then! " she covered her ears and looked pissed. " me seeing what his type is so can find some one better "

He looked at her with an incredulous look." I thought you hated me? " he asked. " oh, I do. I was on board with the whole little plan he put together. Before I got carpet bombed in Stink. Not even you don't deserve to endure that kind of fate," she looked disgusted as a shiver went down her spine. " I'll distract them for as long as I can while helping her find the cord cutter. Deal? " she looked at her and stuck out her hand. " Deal." he stuck out his hand and shook hers.

After he left that school, he checked his phone and saw that he got a text from his daughter. " we're doing okay Dad do you have any more information on where the cord cutter might be like where they might live? " he took a breath and texted her back. " I'll see what else I can find, sweetie. be safe. I'll text you later and your mom loves you. " he hit send and went to his car. he sat there and prayed Mia was safe and that Isadora's plan worked. he eventually started the car and drove home.
