They Took My Sister to the City They Promised Me Chapter 10
Snow fell heavily over Moon City that day, piling layer upon layer across the ground.I sat in my room studying the materials the dean had sent me, along with instructions to study them carefully. I would need them once I started working for the Beta.The gate guard called me."Clara, someone outside insists on seeing you. They've been at the gate all afternoon and say they can't reach you."My shift ends soon. Do you want to come take a look?"I sighed, put on a coat, and went out.From a distance I could see the guard reasoning with what looked like a snowman.As I reached the gate, the snowman saw me coming and shook the thick snow off himself.He lunged toward me, but the guard blocked him."Clara, you finally agreed to see me!"His eyes were red from crying, and his voice broke. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have treated you that way. I was wrong."I shouldn't have sided with your parents in favoring Susanna. I shouldn't have singled you out. I did care about you. I just... didn't kno

Two days later.News that Theo had gone to Moon City and made a scene reached Susanna and her parents, but it barely held their attention.The day he left, Susanna came last in an assessment again, and this time she was caught copying from another student on the spot.When Susanna was summoned to the dean's office, she refused to listen. After learning that she had to apologize to the student and face an academy-wide public reprimand, she argued with the dean, wrecked his office, and smashed several expensive decorations.The Hill City campus posted the reprimand online, demanded compensation for the damage, and expelled her.All three of them panicked.They begged the Academy for mercy, but security would not even let them through the gate, so they spent all day outside.Only when Theo reminded them did they finally remember me.They had heard that I was doing well in Moon City, but they hadn't cared. To them, Susanna was their only daughter.After my mother failed to reach me through

At midday the dean's lecture had just ended.I came out of the hall with my books and my friends."Clara, how do you do it? Even the dean praises you from time to time.""It's been forever since we ate together, and we have no classes this afternoon. Let's get lunch. My treat.""Yes! Let's."They talked as we walked, and I listened and put in a word here and there.We headed for the gate, talking over where to eat.As soon as we were through it, I saw Theo talking to the guard.My smile went. I had not expected him to follow me this far.His clothes were a mess and his face was pale. Nothing about him suggested the polished, arrogant person he used to be.At the sound of people leaving, he turned. The moment he spotted me, his eyes lit up and he hurried over."Clara!"He stopped in front of me, and my friends, seeing the state of him, put themselves between us."Are you done making a scene? I know I was wrong. Now come back with me."He reached past them for my wrist.I stepped back qu

Three months passed in the blink of an eye. Moon City was even colder in winter.There were none of the endless disputes I had left behind. Everything felt peaceful and light.I made new friends. Sometimes we explored Moon City together, visited the frontier posts, and took in the scenery.The dean thought highly of me. He let me choose my own instructors and met almost every academic need I had.Toward the end of the semester, the dean arranged for me to train under the Beta so I could put everything I had learned into practice.Theo and my family no longer brought trouble into my life. Everything felt right.Back at the Hill City campus, things were very different.Susanna's life was falling apart.Once my scholarship money ran out, she could not afford the expensive room and moved back into the dormitory.My family and Theo had spoiled her into believing that everyone owed her the same treatment. She constantly fought with her roommates until the entire dorm ostracized her.Worse, s

Moon City wasn't as prosperous as Hill City. Everything beyond the campus felt wide open.I returned to my room and turned on my phone. The screen immediately filled with messages.Every one of them was from Theo.The first messages were calm."Have you arrived? I'll come get you.""Aren't you here yet? Message me when you land."After that came a stream of voice messages, each one more impatient than the last."Clara, classes start today. Enough. Answer me when you get here.""Do you think ignoring me will force me to apologize? I'm warning you. Answer me now, or I'll be furious. Then you can forget about ever earning my forgiveness."The last one had come in a moment ago."Clara, just wait. If I can't control you, I'll get your parents to discipline you."I listened to every message and felt not a trace of hurt.Then I played my mother's message."Clara, where have you gone? We've been worried sick looking for you. Your sister has a lot to unpack. Come help with her room as soon as y

"Clara!"Theo came after me.He got in front of me and glared."What are you making a scene about now? Don't you know this party was for both you and Susanna?"I looked at him coldly and kept walking."So you do remember this is my party too."My dress is ruined. Move."I walked past him and didn't stop until I was outside the hotel.I looked at the message he had sent."Come back now. I can still put in a good word with Susanna, and your parents won't be too hard on you."Reading it, I nearly laughed."My dress is ruined. I can't come back."After a while he wrote again, "Stop making a scene. Go home, wash the dress, and come straight back.""I'm not coming back.""What does that mean?"I didn't answer. I silenced the notifications and put my phone away.I went home alone.When the party ended, I heard them come in. I did not go out. I stayed shut in my room.Tomorrow was registration day. At last.Noise woke me early.I gathered my things and dragged my suitcase into the front room.
