GUARDIAN|M.LANGDON

PART 18| PLEASE

After a few minutes, I decide to stand up from my seat- making my way back to Cordelia

Thankfully she was awake, and everybody was so engrossed that they had lacked the ability to ask me where I was- which of course I was thankful for

I continue on, giving her a tight squeeze and asking if she was feeling okay, she settled down quickly nodding happily and was even ready to show misty her surprise

Even most of us had no clue what it was, but we all sat on sofas in a main room- waiting, we all sat down and laughed, the girls together just enjoying eachothers company
At last an announcement is made towards misty- we all smile in anticipation as finally, a recognizable character walked in front of us
Stevie nicks?

We all applauded in excitement, finally feeling at peace after a long, long time

Stevie nicks started to sing, even bringing misty to tears as she danced with her- the rest of us sat peacefully watching her, her voice echoing through the room, warlocks and witches peacefully together

I'm lying my head back on the sofa as I let myself relax, alcohol fast to fill my veins

It was peaceful, I was with people I loved, my family

I opened my eyes slightly and I look up to see Micheal on the stairs, staring at me

I make eye contact with him, I hadn't yet been given a chance to process what happened between us

He kissed me... and I liked it?

And who was he? Ariel?

He looked back up to Ariel though, and I had a strange vibe come from them, what were they plotting? I didn't like it one but

He look down at me, and he raises a toast, I do the same as I thinly smile and drink the rest of my drink, staring back at Micheal
I didn't want to think about it too much- I was meant to be with friends after all

I look down and see cordelia and Madison leave, I don't think much of it as Stevie comes towards me,
Misty following close behind seeming to be enchanted by dance

In my time of being on earth, I had realized how much I haven't done, dancing to live music was one

Stevie helps me up as she carefully spins me around, letting misty do the same as we both dance, letting the music flow through us and just learning not to care anymore
And I liked it

I laughed to myself, never feeling more joy in my life as everything rushed to my head- still spinning and dancing

I stumbled lightly, but my weight was held by some sort of wall
Covered by cloth?

I open my eyes lazily, still half lidded as I look up to see Micheal, he carefully grabs my hand as he starts to dance

I follow him, spinning around slowly lost in the thrill of the music, the piano becoming more prominent than before

I'm looking up at Micheal, holding each others Gaze- right now, everything that he found out about me
It just didn't matter

"As I still see your bright eyes"

I smile slightly

"He was just a witch"

He slowly stops moving and holds my jaw

"She was just a wish"

I crane my neck up to look at him, as he lowers his mouth to mine

"You're a Gypsy"

We move closer, the piano stops and it felt like it was just us

Until I heard clapping

It snapped me out of it, and I look up to see Ariel clapping looking directly at me, and I try to move out of micheals grip

He struggles to keep me close, but I'm suddenly all too aware of how many people there were, and how many staring at us

And just what cordelia would think

I step away slowly walking to find cordelia, to see one of the warlocks already there with her and Madison

Cordelia looks to me "just the person I need" and I cock my head to her in confusion

"We need you to find out about Micheal" I look between both of them- towards the warlock

"Can he be trusted?" I question them, and they simply nod their head at me

"I trust you Cordelia- but how am I meant to find out about him? And why?"

"We need someone he... trusts" the warlock answered instead, I showed him a weird face

"Trusts? So shouldnt you be the one that does it?"
Cordelia gives me a look- one that tells me to be quiet, and that I had to be the one to do it

"I need you to do this Eve- whilst Madison goes to find information

We can see what he tells you, I trust you the most"

I gulp, and nod slowly, as we all form a smaller circle

"Eden, I'll need you to stay here for a few days, with him, be strong for me" I look at cordelia

Me be strong? I should be the one telling her, She's basically telling me to be buddies with the guy that's killing her

She's saying it because she knows it hurts me, she knows everything that's happened and will happen

Has hurt me

I walk out silently, followed by Madison and the warlock back into the library, I didn't realise how much the alcohol had hit me, as I started to stumble through the halls

Misty laughed hard, and I giggled following suit trying to remain normal, but it just wasn't happening- I trip again evidently drunk

"Fuck sake Eve, shes wasted, already" a voice I could recognize as Madison

Ariel walks up "she'll be fine" he waves to two younger warlocks by the door "gentlemen, take her to a spare room"

Madison stops them though, and looks at me "no need, pretty boy supreme can take her, mission number one; look after our kind"

I lull my head back, waving it slightly to the beat of the music, not listening, but walking anyways

Micheal had taken my elbow, and carefully led me back to a spare room, where evidently I would be staying for a few days

Especially with this new job

It was a blur, the next thing I feel was being sat down on a soft bed, warm hand leaving mine as I try to kick my shoes off, I look at Micheal, who waits patiently until he leaves

But I grab his arm

"Please don't go"
