𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐗: 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐘

3| Compel or Tell

"Yoritza!" Stella approaches me. "What is going on?"

She scoffs and I assume she noticed that my eyes weren't brown, they were blue. "You didn't wear the contact lenses, didn't you? Where is your necklace?!"

"For god's sake, Yoritza!" she scolds me and I stayed silent.

I ignored her. I didn't want any part of her "big sister moment". As much as I loved to have an older sister, I didn't want this; I didn't want her.

I walked out of the party a spot Sky near the exit.

"Sky?" I kneel to see him. "Are you drunk?"

I felt obligated to take care of this but it wasn't my job nor responsibility to care.

"Ugh," I scoff grabbing his arm and putting it over my shoulder. "I can't believe I'm doing this."

I walk Sky to the specialist hall; onto his bed. We arrive at the front door. I found myself in the midst of difficulty as I pushed it open. And so I jostle the knob, again and again.

At last, I managed to drop Sky on his bed. I sigh in tiredness. I chuckled at how silly he looked. His cheeks were completely red.

"You're being... ridicu-lush... 'm not that drunk..." He groans as I took off his jacket.

I sling a strand of his hair behind the ear. "Get some sleep."

I hedge on my way to the door. Stella can't find out I brought him here. I am her sister and she wouldn't anything to hurt me. But this would mean that I hurt her. Whatever! The idea of me bringing Sky here, considering that he is after all; drunk, is completely inappropriate to the eyes of well; many.

And so I rush back to his bed, I wake him up.

"Sky!" I shake him.

"Mhm?!" He groans.

"Look at me." My eyes turn bright blue as I manipulated his mind.

"Stella brought you home," I demanded.

I wake up early for orientation. Picked up my books from the administration office and now I'm having breakfast with Stella. 

I read my book alone at our table as Stella went to get out meals. I feel a person sit in front of me, interrupting my reading session. I avoided eye contact and kept my nose under the book. 

"Look, I am not a dark Solarian so-"

"It's me." I notice the voice and it was Sky.

I put my book down. "What?"

"I just want to say, thank you for bringing back last night."

I widen my eyes in shock. What? How come he remembers? I compelled him. I gather my thoughts looking around the room when I notice a bracelet on Sky's wist. 

"What's that?" I point at the bracelet. 

"I-it was my fathers." He answered shortly. 

I reach out to get a hold of it and it somehow felt as if it burned my skin.

I hissed in pain. "What?"

"Are you okay?" Sky tries to get a hold of my hand but I pulled it away for him not to see. 

"Do you mind if I borrow it?" I ask him.

"Sure." He nodded. "Just don't lose it, it holds a sentimental value to me."

"I promise." I sigh. "Could please just place it down the table?"

Stella then comes and places to trays on the table. "Was that Sky you were talking to? What did he say?"

I gulp. "He was asking about you."

She looks at me in a rather cute way, knowing that Sky was asking about her. 

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah." I drop my fork. I point across the table where Sky had left his bracelet for me."Could you put that bracelet in my bag, please?"

"You compelled him?" She realizes, taking a look at the bracelet. 

But there must've been a different reason for her to find out that I compelled her supposedly boyfriend. 

And so after orientation, I went straight to my suite and grabbed my necklace from a hidden drawer in the kitchen. (Yes, I do have a kitchen. In case I get locked up here)

Sky's bracelet is still in my bag and as you can see, I can't touch it. 

Which means I need help. I don't know what exactly but there is something suspicious rather than helpful about these pieces of jewelry. 

As I was midway out the door, it opens itself revealing an angry Stella. We ended up in the living room where she had managed to try and talk calmly because she knows what happens if she triggers my emotions. I could kill her, for sure. But I won't.

"Why didn't you just tell that you brought him last night?"

"Because I know you would get mad at me."

"You're my sister!" she yells briefly. "I trust you."

Those last three words have caught me off guard. Never in my life have I expected my sister to say that trusts me. Despite all the people I've 'accidentally' killed since the day I was born. 

Maybe because I never felt like she trusted me. Or maybe because she's just making sure I'm not stressed about anything before my 17th birthday. 

I have to do this, but I can't and shouldn't.

"I didn't bring Sky home last night, you did." I compelled her. 

You might say, "I thought you can't control your powers?" and "How come you compelled her on demand?"

I told you, I can't control my emotions and powers. Seems to me, my emotions have thoroughly want Stella to know that she brought Sky home and not me.
