Past Secrets

"Breaking news, Cruel and Hella, best known for upstaging the Baroness in the fashion world, have died tonight."

"London's fashion provocateurs have died."

"The Baroness and the power couple had been going head-to-head..."

"The Baroness' competition has gone up in flames."

"Cruel and Hella, shining stars in London's West End fashion scene, have tragically died tonight in a warehouse fire."

A teapot whistle filled the air.

"Y/n" Elijah whispered, opening his eyes and panted.

Buddy jumped on his human and started to lick Elijah's cheek, expressing his happiness.

"What?" Elijah grunted, looking around the living room in confusion. Why was he sleeping on someone's couch? Wasn't he supposed to be dead? If he is still alive, Y/n must be too. Where is she?

He hurriedly sat up when he saw none other than John coming inside the room with a tray filled with biscuits and tea. Then groaned at the headache caused by his sudden movements.

"Tea, Master Cruel?" John asked kindly.

"Why am I alive?" Elijah asked rudely. He didn't know what this man wanted. Maybe it was Baroness's new trick?

He wore the black jacket that was draped over him and held Buddy closer to him.

"Because I dragged you out of the smoke and flames before they consumed you." John answered as he sat down on a chair beside the couch, putting the tray on the table.

"Y/n? Where is she? Did you save her? Please tell me she is alive?" Elijah asked desperately.

"She is alive and sleeping." John assured, motioning him to look at a room.

Elijah followed his movement and he cried in relief when he saw Y/n peacefully sleeping on a bed inside the room and Wink resting beside her. He tried to get up but instantly fell back down, feeling dizzy.

"Please sit down, Elijah. You need some rest." John hesitated before informing, "Y/n, She got a few burn marks on her hand-" Elijah made a concerned noise, which John assured quickly, "nothing major. It will heal in a few days." Though he sounded concerned himself?

A surprisingly peaceful silence passed by as both of the men watched sleeping Y/n in worry. (Creepy Edward Cullen wannabes spotted. Jk jk lol)

John broke the silence, saying, "I have something for you." He pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and unfolded it revealing the familiar necklace that Elijah had desperately wanted to steal just a month ago.

"You found it?" Elijah asked, looking at the necklace in shock. When did the Dalmatian push it out?

John nodded, "In the fire. I can assure you, it's been, uh, thoroughly bleached." He told, smiling. When he didn't get any answer in return, he asked, "May I show you something?"
