The Prophecy

Chapter 21

              [ISABELLE’S POV]

 I was trying to spot Annabelle without succeed. I groaned and took a sip of my drink

‘‘So you’re gonna tell them? Felicity asked looking at Monica

‘‘If Annabelle appears.’’ She said

‘‘Tell us what?’’ I asked narrowing my eyes

‘‘Not until Anna returns.’’ She insisted laughing

‘‘I still think it’s a bad idea.’’ Emma said

‘‘You.’’ Monica replied and took a sip. I turned to Vanessa who was sitting right next to me.

‘‘What’s exactly going on?’’ I whispered

‘‘Emma doesn’t likes Monica’s new friend. She’s kind of suspicious.’’ I blinked in surprise. Oh yeah. Drake

‘‘I don’t like him either if that’s counts.’’ Ryan announced looking straight to Monica

‘‘Because he’s hotter than you?’’ She suggested and Felicity with Vanessa laughed

‘‘He’s not. And no, I just don’t like him.’’ He replied. So… Seems like Monica wasn’t the only one who knew him. Annabelle was right. Drake was trying to approach us by approaching our friends. 

‘‘So…. Who’s that guy?’’ I asked her, drinking again.

‘‘You just have to wait and see.’’ She smiled at me. Wait a minute… Wait and see? What could she possibly-

‘‘Drake!’’ Monica rose to her feet, rushing to someone, hugging him. Oh man please don’t tell me it is what I think it is. He bent down and kiss her and after she whispered something to him they both came toward us. His glimmering brown eyes met mine and my whole body shivered. I knew who he was before he fake a smile to me and give me his hand

‘‘Hi. I’m Drake.’’ I didn’t knew how exactly to react. The guy who wanted to kill me and had already tried to kill Annabelle was standing right in front of me, holding Monica’s hand. I wanted to slap him and take Monica and everyone else and run away. My heart was beating like crazy in my chest. But I couldn’t just leave them alone with him. Play it cool, Aiden and Chace are both here. I  reminded myself.

 Hesitantly I took his hand and shook it without taking my eyes off him

‘‘Isabelle.’’ I said in a low voice. 

‘‘Nice to meet you Isabelle’’

‘‘What’s going on?’’ Aiden voice was on my ear, his hands on my shoulders. I exhaled in relief. I was safe now. Drake’s eyes met Aiden’s and they darkened. I smiled. I was totally safe now with Aiden but we had to talk to Monica so she would stay away. Wait a second… Where exactly was Annabelle?

‘‘Drake?’’ Monica asked making Drake turn to her.

‘‘Yeah sorry I just… Aiden’s an old friend.’’ He turned to Aiden smiling

‘‘Yeah.. An old friend.’’ Aiden agreed, without taking his hands off my shoulders. Drake narrowed his eyes to me again only for a second and then he turned to Monica. He leaned closer to her, whispering something to her ear and then walked away. Walked away where?

‘‘Where’s he going?’’ I asked Monica

‘‘Outside. He needs to call someone.’’ She replied and took a sip of her drink.

‘‘He’s probably leaving.’’ Aiden muttered for only me to hear.

‘‘Yeah. I agreed.’’ At least I was fine, the only thing we needed to do was to convince Monica to stay away from him. The hard part.
