Crash-landed On An Island With Nine Beauties novel Chapter 102

"What do you think I should do?"

Evelyn was seated, facing the smeared wall of the cave. Her eyes were heavy and weary. It seemed as though she had just finished crying. She sniffled for the last time then turned to the mouth of the cave, where the white wolf was standing.

"They are taking me for granted. I can't continue this way. You can't imagine what Laurette did to me today. They must really think that I'm a fool and can be tossed around whichever way they want."

She paused for a while, heaving a heavy sigh.

"I don't think I've ever earned any sort of respect from any of them, no matter how little."

She gulped, looking away from the wolf who started walking in slowly, throwing one limb before another.

"Damien. Only Damien sees me as a person. He's the only one who considers me as someone who has an emotion. He is the only who treats me with respect. The rest think I am a joke."

There was pain both in her eyes and words. She looked like she had been wronged, which was true.

Her pity face suddenly had a flare to it, growing into a tough counterpart.

"But I know what to do. Let's see how far they can tolerate this new side. But it will be their faults. Especially Laurette and Claire. It would be their faults that I'm turning into a new person."

She looked scary at that moment. Her brows cocked, lips moving drastically. A strange shadow fell on the corners of her eyes.

Then again, she dropped the whole new mood thing. She stood up and walked to the wolf.

"Where do you think Damien is? Do you really think he is dead?"

She paused for a while observing the wolf very closely.

"He's not dead right? If he is dead, you won't be at peace. I know that you actually love him too. I'm sure that you do want him more than we do. He means more to you than he does to -- no, he means more to me than he does to you."

She rolled her eyes at the wolf. She walked past her.

"Though I have no idea how you guys became friends. How did it happen, did you ---"

She stopped talking. It seemed as though she just realized something.

"I'm talking to myself. You must be enjoying yourself so much."

She sneered at the wolf and tried to walk out of the cave. She halted again and turned.

"I'm sure that Ayisha saw something. My gut feelings tell me that it has something to do with Damien, but I'm not so s---"

Her eyes squinted.

"No way... that place was an island. Right? Yes! It was. If it's another island, whether small or big... what does that mean?"

She walked back to the wolf,

"What does it mean, friend?"

She squatted by the wolf again and began to stroke her head. Gently and passionately. You'd think that she wasn't the same girl with the whole attitude.

The wolf must have a reason for choosing her out of the whole girls.

"Damien... could it be... could it be by any chance that he is on that ---"

She chuckled, shaking her head as though she would make it drop off her neck.

"No, that doesn't make any sense. How could he leave us all by ourselves to live on another island?"

"Maybe he's tired of us. Probably he isn't used to being with a lot of girls. He used to be treated cruelly and suddenly got lots of love, though some feigned, some true... he probably was a bit --"

She took in a deep breath. She licked her lips. She did all she could to help stimulate her thoughts.

"Maybe that isn't the reason. Perhaps there was something more important. Probably he got something else to do. Like something he didn't want us to know about?"

She chuckled again at how far she was taking the thoughts. How hard she was trying to get an answer to all the questions stalking her mind.

"Perhaps I'm thinking too much. For all I knew, I might be thinking this way because of what I desperately want. Damien on another island... funny."

She seemed to had finally arrived at a conclusion. She would give up on all the thoughts.

"Too bad, no matter how hard I think of it, I can't seem to arrive at something ---"

"Evelyn... Evelyn...!"

There was a sudden voice outside the cave.

"God... Laurette. How did she find me?"

Evelyn ran to hide behind the wolf.

"Her footprints lead all the way here, but there is nothing good out here. Or could she be in that cave."

Laurette laughed.

"Evelyn in a cave? She can't. That cry baby. She doesn't have the courage to walk alone in the bush let alone stay alone in a cave."

Evelyn could hear Laurette loudly and clearly. Laurette's voice said that she was advancing towards the cave.

"Where should I hide... where?"

Evelyn looked behind her. It was an open cave. There was no hide whatsoever. Suddenly, something hit her.

"Run? Hide? Why the fuck should I hide? Didn't I say that I want to --"

She jumped up and walked past the wolf. Point in time, Laurette appeared at the mouth of the cave.

"Evelyn, you are here."

"Yes I am."

Evelyn retorted. Laurette noticed the sudden change in her mild face.

"What's the problem? Why do you look like someone shat on your face? Pretending to be tough?"

Laurette scoffed.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to say that. You have every right to be mad at me. I just wanted to apologise for what I did. It's good to know that someone else cares about me. It would be foolish of me to take you for granted. To take your kindness for granted. Please forgive me."
