What Have I done? -Lucathy

16 - Who did it?

  'H-huh!?!' I stared at the note confused.

  'I didn't even ask for his number... why did he pass me his number?' I tilted my head.

  "What's that?" Lucas asked in a restrained tone as if he didn't want to ask.

  'What's with his aura?' I looked at Lucas and looked at the letter.

  "Umm... Nothing?" I didn't really understand why he was this mad about a letter.

  "Athy~" Lucas said in a kind voice.... Too kind.... Almost fake.....

  "Y-yes?" I felt like there was a lump in my throat, I was nervous...

  "Pass me the paper." His tone turned strict making it so that I couldn't refuse.

  I handed the paper to him with my hand slightly trembling, I didn't even dare to make eye contact with him.

  "Relax Athy." Lucas put his hand on my head while he's eyes scrutinized the paper. I felt his aura get darker yet his voice got softer.

  "You don't need this." He crumpled the paper with one hand and stuffed it into his pocket.

~Lucas POV~

  'I'll keep this number incase I need to get him to back off.'

  "Athy..." I tried my best to calm down but my mind simply won't let me.

  "I'm not mad at you ok?" I saw her nervous expression get wiped of her face replaced with a more confused expression.

  'She's wondering why I'm mad right?' I sighed.

  "I'm mad that, that guy gave you his number." She looked at my like I was talking nonsense.

  'Right.... Of course she doesn't understand that he's flirting with her....' I face palmed myself while coming up with a reply.

  "When a guy or girl gives another person their number when that person didn't ask for it, It's basically saying that their interested in you. Because it means that they want to know how about you." Athy looked at me turned to look at her lap with her hands on her head processing what I just told her.

  Athy smiled with  an 'Oh!' expression as if she understood what I said.

  But then she went back to a confused expression.

  "Why would Lucas be mad over a guy wanting to be my friend?" Athy mumbled which was of course heard by me.

  'Seriously!?! I would also be mad if a guy wanted to be your friend but you don't understand this guy doesn't want to be only your friend!' I screamed at her internally.

  "When I say interested I mean it in a romantic way." I said to her as calmly as I could.

  "Athy. Basically Lucas is mad because another guy has also fallen for your charms!" Mum butted in. Athy expression turned from confused to teasing.

  'Oh God....'

  "Lucas~" Athy smiled in a teasing way.

  "Yes?" I looked away from her.

  "Your jealous?" I couldn't see her but she was probably still having that expression!

  "No" I denied somehow managed to not stutter.

  "Oh really?" I heard her chuckle. She put her hands around my waist giving me a hug.

  'Shit! I'm blushing!!!!' I knew that blush was all over my face right now and I couldn't even try to resist it.

  "Don't worry Lucas I only have eyes for y-"

  Athy was interrupted by a certain waiter clearing his throat too hard.

  "Here's your salad, coke and two cups of coffee mdm sir." He placed down the tray of food which honestly looked like it was in a mess.... As if it was done in a rush....

  'This guys getting on my nerves!' I quickly scanned him and saw he had a name tag on.

  'Andrew huh....' I took down a mental note of my new victim. Athy quickly released me and blushed since she wasn't used to showing affection in public or at all for that.

  "Lucas why did you order a salad?" Mum asked me suspiciously.

  'As if you don't know.' I grinned towards my mum and in slow motion pushed the salad towards her.

  "It's for you mum." I smiled at her while she turned into a expression of horror.

  "B-b-but!" Mum acted like a child who just got told to eat vegetables, which is quite true.

  "You haven't eaten your salad in the morning it's in the fridge. So your going to eat at least one today weather you like it or not!" I commanded her.

  Mum looked at Athy with her eyes begging for help. Athy looked at he then looked at me as if confused who she should help.

  "Come on just eat it! It's not like it's poison!" Athy's ears perked up at the word 'poison'

  "Aunty.... " Athy said slowly while mum was going to put a spoon full of salad towards her mouth.

  As if she suddenly gained super speed the spoon went flying out of mum's hand.

  Clunk!

  "Lucas.... I'm not joking.... It's poisoned....." I felt my eyes widdened at her claim.

  'All obelian's are to learn how to do basic fighting, poison detection and drugged food.' The rule that athy said once played in my head.

  Mum looked at the salad and started crying terrified.

  "Is this poison to knock the person out or to kill?" I asked hesitant.

  "Give me one second to test it." Athy searched around her sling bag which she had since morning.

  She took out a needle that was probably made out of pure silver.

  She stuck the needle into the salad and took it out again....

  Black...

  The needle turned black...

  Poison is present......

  "This poison.... Is to kill...." Athy said slowly she herself also in disbelief...

  "The needle shouldn't even be able to detect for poison if it wasn't fatal...." Athy explained.

  'Was someone here out to kill me..?' I thought to myself while walking over to mum to comfort her.

  While all this was happening a crowd of people had gathered around us alerted from the sound of the metal spoon hitting the ground. The were all mumbling amount themselves...

  "Oh my god her food was poisoned!?!"

  "But this is a establishment that's known for its cleanliness!"

  "Is she alright?"

  These were the few of the many things I could hear that were being said.

  All those to me didn't matter.

  But one question was running through both Athy and Lucas mind right now.

  'Who do it?'
