Oriana:
A Few Hours Ago:
"Yes, Miss Rue?" I asked her while following her.
She looked like she was not pleased about something and my heart already started to pound in my chest.
"Come with me," she instructed, continuing to gesture for me to follow her.
I did not know if it was the right thing to do, but there was nothing else I could do.
She had probably caught me talking about that girl. With a defeated look on my face, I kept following her.
However, she did not take me to the hall, which I thought she would, since that was where everyone would be for any confrontation.
Instead, she led me toward the road and I began to slow down.
"Miss Rue, I do not know where you are taking me. May I please know?" I requested, no longer willing to follow her aimlessly.
I guessed she realized at that point that she would have to give me some information or I would not continue after her.
She stopped and looked around in all directions, and at this point I began to wonder about her intentions. Then she faced me.
"You do not like Clementine," she uttered.
It was the way she said it. I instantly started to shake my head.
"No, that is not the case," I replied quickly. "My head was not in the right place—," I began to make excuses, but she raised her hand to silence me.
"You do not need to lie to me," she remarked sternly, and I gulped. "I know you do not like her."
"I do not understand. Are you going to punish me for not liking her?" I asked her in confusion.
She gave me a cheeky smile while shaking her head as a no, and the way she did it showed she was serious.
She did not seem to care anymore.
"I do not like her either," she stated.
The minute she said those words, I started to smile and shake my head.
I was not going to let her fool me. There was no way she was being genuine.
"I am Riv’s sister," she added softly.
For a moment I was not sure what she was talking about or whose sister she meant. I stared at her in confusion.
"That crusader who died in the transition stage," she clarified.
My eyes widened because now I remembered it.
"Oh, the girl who was killed because of Clementine?" I asked, and she began to nod her head.
I could not express it fully, but shock hit me hard and a sharp shiver ran through me. All this time Miss Rue had been around us.
