CHAPTER TWENTY.
THE SECOND EVEE had nodded, still laced with distrust, Gemma had gotten up from where she sat on the bed. Rushing over to the boxes in the corner of Evee's room, where she had picked up back at the sketchy apartment. Even with how eager Evee had gotten to find more information about herself, the werewolf business with Scott and Stiles had stopped her from throughly looking through the boxes. Plus the fact that she had spent multiple nights over at Lydia's, rather than her own home. Frankly, she had forgotten about the boxes.
Watching as Gemma had looked carefully through the boxes, Evee couldn't help but feel that sudden wave of guilt she had been feeling about Stiles. She knew she was harsh, but that was the point. Stiles, though, seemed persistent to not let this go. Maybe because he was just confused or maybe because it was obvious Evee was keeping something from him.
Pulling away from her thoughts, Evee watched as Gemma had flipped through pages in a hard covered book that had looked too warned out for Gemma to be flipping the pages that fast,"Can you cool down with the pages? A book can't die but I think it will if you keep doing that."
Gemma had ignored the girl, Evee giving up as she sat back on her bed, shooting her eyes back to the book when the older Sharp girl had stopped the flipping of the pages and traced her fingers over some words, a small smirk forming across her face,"Okay, come here,"Evee slowly walked closer to Gemma and the book in her grasp, reading over the words and looking over to the image covering one of the pages. Gemma had not waited a second before speaking up again,"Knowing you and knowing that the brunette is a Argent, you should already be brought up with your Argent family history," Evee had took notice of how displeased Gemma had gotten after mentioning the Argents,"If you haven't, tough luck. You're about to be very confused...Anyways, despite what people think, that Tamara girls bloodline, had nothing to do with the creature the Argent's killed."
"Wait, so you're saying it was all a rumor? A rumor that insane?"
"Exactly. You see Tamara had 'disappeared,' to the Argent's eyes and the books. But, actually, Tamara had ran away in fear, over to this weird town. She had fear that she would die next."
"Okay, wait, so what are you trying to say? That Tamara hid, like, impossibly well? That the books lied?"
"Yes. The point is everything's a lie."
Eager to get more answers, Evee had further question,"But─"
Gemma had seem persistent to not inform the younger girl about Tamara, even if she seemed important to her,"Evee, you're not listening. Everything they do and say is a lie. Trusting an Argent...you trusting an Argent is a death wish. So...whatever happens, you gotta promise me─don't trust an Argent. Allison may seem great to you now, but when something blows up in both your faces...that act isn't going to last."
