And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie) novel Chapter 291

Disbelief washed over me upon hearing her. Never once had I ever heard her speak up for what I want and yet, here she was basically telling my fathers what was going to happen whether they approved or not.

"Ivy, you know damn well that can't happen," Hale snapped at her, causing me to flinch as he stood to his feet. "There was an agreement, and both she and Pollux have to abide by it."

"I don't care, Hale. I'm not forcing them to go."

My mother was angry, and her words were firm. The only problem was I wasn't sure if I was hearing things correctly. The tale is true, and my parents really did agree for us to go? I thought it was a joke or something… Hell; I don't know what I thought, but to know my parents agreed was horrible.

"Wait, you're telling me that you made a deal for me and Pollux to be sent away? Why would you do that? Don't we get a say in this?!"

Shaking his head, Hale sighed. "No, sweetie, you don't. There was nothing we could do about it, and honestly, they wanted to take you a long time ago, so we made it so they didn't."

This was absolute bullshit. The entire time, I thought it was a hoax. Something my parents told me so I would behave, and it was actually true. "That's fucking great."

"Cassie, language!" My mother snapped, glaring at me. "You don't need to talk like that, and you're both not going, so it doesn't matter what happened."

"Ivy, stop lying to her!" Talon roared in anger. "They are, and after today's little stunt she pulled with her powers, she isn't returning back to school. We have to be careful—"

"What?!" I exclaimed, jumping to my feet. "What do you mean I'm not going back to school?! I have only a few days left!"
