Chapter 9:

Fauna

 It was too much, I’m good in martial arts but this wasn’t martial arts anymore, it was murder, he dragged my legs making me hit my back on the floor, my body already hurts from that one, he won, accepted, but he didn’t stop there, he kept on hitting me till I blacked out. I woke up in a room, everything was white, I turned to my side, it hurt

‘easy there ‘I heard Bethany say, looking round, I saw Bethany, liz, Claudia and Stephanie. I tried to get up, my entire body was frozen

‘where am I’

‘medics’ came liz

‘he did that on purpose’ I said

‘but why, he doesn’t even know you’

‘I will get to the bottom of this, no one hurts my siblings and gets away with it. Elizabeth, go and find prince Zachary’ and lizzy was gone

‘how are you feeling’ Claudia said

‘numb’

‘we won the competition though’ I smiled, prince Zachary entered the room and the girls curtsied except my sister of course, he bowed to her

‘how are you feeling Aurelia’ he said

‘numb’ I replied giving him the same expression I gave Claudia, he nodded with a smile facing Bethany

‘you sent for me your highness’

‘yes I did, you are captain of the flames that is why I called you, I want you to find out the cause for that outburst’

‘I’m on it your highness, prince Edward has been suspended from the Academy…’

‘that is not what I want to hear Zachary’

‘I know, thought it would lighten the mood a little’ Bethany smiled, just for a little bit

‘thank you’

‘I spoke to Mereleona; she claims she had no hand in it but I know she’s not being honest with me’

‘really now, Mereleona is mine, leave her to me then’ he nodded

‘when would she be discharged’

‘as soon as she is better’ he nodded again

‘thank you for helping her your highness’ Bethany closed her eyes, she let out a sigh

‘the pleasure is mine’ Zachary winked at me before bowing to my sister and leaving

‘what was that about, you’re seeing prince heissohot?’ lizzy said

‘he showed me around once’

‘that is so cool, introduce us to him would you?’ Claudia said followed by lizzy

‘it’s a no for me’

‘no one asked you’ liz spat at her sister, I looked at Bethany who was looking out the window in her thinking mode

‘Bethany?’ I said, she turned and faced me quickly with panic in her eyes

‘are you okay, do you need something?’

‘are you okay?’ I asked her, she smiled at me and nodded

‘I have to go now so Andrew and Caleb wouldn’t get worried, I’ll see you tomorrow’ I nodded

‘thank you Bethany’

‘you’re my sister, I’ll do anything for you’ she replied placing a kiss on my forehead before leaving.
