Yorick:
Ever since I found out that Ian had gone live on television and exposed everything, I had been upset with my parents. My mother tried to dodge the issue at first, but then she requested that we cut off the internet. Of course, we did not.
"You said Clementine had run away with Ian," I confronted my mother.
As I entered her office, the strong smell of chemicals hit my nostrils, and I waved my hand in front of my nose, making it clear how much I hated being around her workplace.
"Maybe you are forgetting. I did not tell you for sure that she had run away. I said there was a possibility. Besides, the two have been together, making plans and everything. And Clementine definitely did not have you in her mind, or else she would have come to the academy first. Or maybe she heard that you were accused of such a heinous crime. If you had gone to see her, she would have fucking insulted you, and then you would have been hurt," my mother spoke in one breath, as if all the explanations would make sense.
"That is not who Clementine is. The minute she found out Oriana had accused me, she would have known instantly it was a lie," I hissed at my mother, reminding her that she could not play games with me.
"I want to go and look for Clementine. Where the fuck is she? Why was Ian the only one making the news and coming live?" I asked my mother, and she shrugged.
"How am I supposed to know? If anything, I know everything is a disaster right now. The leaders are trying to come up with an excuse to keep the academy alive and running, but I have no idea about Clementine," my mother muttered.
Then I noticed a smile starting to form on her lips.
"What is it?" I demanded, hunching forward and placing both my hands on the table.
"Well, I might be lying just a little bit to you," she said, and my eyebrows lifted instantly.
"I have a surprise for you, but before that, we need to deal with the two girls we have upstairs," my mother added, dramatically lifting her hand.
"What kind of a surprise? I want to know," I pressed, hoping she would open her mouth.
My mother started to shake her head, though it was more of a playful motion. It was a hint that whatever she had for me was going to be amazing, and it made me excited too.
Since she mentioned a surprise right after speaking about Clementine, I could already draw some conclusions.
"Anyway, what do you mean by we have to take care of the ones upstairs first?" I continued, watching my mother smile happily at how eager I was. "If that is what is stopping you from telling me the surprise, then how can we get rid of them? And how can we do it quickly?" I added.
"So I checked the papers again, and it seems I was missing a few clues. Maybe a fated mate is not all that is needed. A fated mate’s blood is what we are looking for, even if it comes from early generations or from a distant person. There needs to be blood sharing involved," my mother explained as she pulled out a file filled with pages.
She had done that last time too, and it gave me a headache, so I refused to look at them.
