Episode 7

ARYA

There was movements in the room after Alpha Kai had left but I tried to stay still, laying without making a single sound to know exactly what Bria was up to.

Somehow, I had made it!

From a little I had gathered, I stabbed myself and had thrown myself into the pool but the only thing I couldn't place my hands on was why I would want to take my own life.

Take it or leave it from me but I haven't exactly seen a tough situation that would make me want to take my own life with my own hands.

"You should really die, you know?" My breath hitched inside of me and I slowly swallowed, just slow enough for her not to notice that I was awake.

"You should die. This entire pack would be better off without you, after all, the Kings daughter would have still been alive if you weren't here." I felt her hands on my hair, pushing my strands of hair onto the corners of my ear.

Weird.

"Later, the Alpha would find out that this is for the best." She heaved a heavy sigh and for a few seconds, I couldn't hear anything other than her heavy breathing.

One.

Two..

Three...

My eyes snapped open just as she was inches away from injecting me with something, my hands flew up immediately and I caught her by the wrist.

"How...what..?" She stuttered, struggling to wiggle out of my grasp but I held on tightly, sitting up on the bed as I flashed her a bright smile.

"Just think of it that I arose from the dead." I said softly, still holding her wrist as my stare turned into a hard glower.

"You shouldn't." She whispered, as she tried her possible best to press the needle into my skin but my hands on her wrist restricted her which I'm quite sure was pissing her off.

"You wouldn't want me to, seeing that you were the one that stabbed me in the first place." Her face looked pale, like all blood and color had been drained from it absolutely.

"You can't prove that." She stated, twisting my wrist while snatching her hands away from mine.

"You just admitted to it, what else do I have to prove?" I smiled as she took few steps away from the bed and yawned, looking over the room.

This was what the Lycan's King chambers looked liked.

Lifeless.

Dark and Eerie.

Definitely not my kind of scene.

"You think they would listen to some crazy ass girl who caused the death of the Kings daughter when you come and say that I killed you?" She chuckled as both our eyes went to the door when the handle creaked.

Silence.

Absolute silence and then she continued talking.

"What exactly do you take me for? Why would I tell them that you tried to kill me?" I questioned and for a second, I could swear that she looked confused and dumbfounded.

"Isn't that what you're playing at?" She queried, taking two steps closer to me while I stood up from the bed and looked out the window.

"Bria, I've always believed the saying, 'an eye for an eye' and 'a tooth for a tooth'. A day hasn't gone by that I didn't believe in it, Bria and I plan to stand by it for a long time. Very unfortunate for you, you tried to take more than an eye or a tooth." I yawned again, turning to spot a jar of water and I immediately transfered some of its contents into a glass that was laying on the table as well.

After emptying the contents, I kept looking out the window when I heard an iron click.

Still staring out the window, a smile crept up my lips as I watched her out of the corner of my eyes.

Why do people always do this to me?

And I don't mean hate me or anything. They tried to kill me but they couldn't even do it effectively.

I had spent months trying to teach my step sister how to kill me and get away with it but well, I must say she's a slow learner or am I a bad teacher?

I guess, I won't be able to tell that apart anymore.

I watched as she took light steps towards me while my back was still turned to her.

Not now...not now. I folded my hands together into a fist trying to stop myself from chuckling or grunting.

Now!

She swinged the blade and I just rolled to the other part of the wall and the dagger went flying through the window.

"Gosh, this is pathetic." I ran a finger through my hair as I turned to stare at her as she pranced into a fighting position while still staring at me weirdly like she couldn't get a grasp of what was going on.

"You should be dead! You should be." I smirked as I turned to stare at the door as I realized she was trying her best to get to it. Perhaps wanting to run away from it or probably wanting to stop me Incase I intended to run out the door..

"If only you had done it effectively. I might not know anything about how I got stabbed and all but your actions tells me everything I have to know, Bria. You stabbed and honestly, I'm really trying my best to understand if it's for the fact that I retaliated when you tried to be a bitch the other day." I said and suddenly, she grabbed another dagger out of her shoe lace and cut herself open then flung the dagger towards me.

"What are you doing?" I asked, in genuine confusion as I raised a brow but she didn't say a word. Rather, she fell to her knees and scattered her hair across her face.

"Oh, you can't be serious." I exclaimed when I suddenly realized the impression she was trying to create and almost immediately, the door creaked open.
