She's the Devil in Disguise

^^Hana

Yeira's POV

Zena wouldn't sleep a wink and it was freaking me out. All she'd do is glare at me and occasionally flash her eyes. Jeez, she really wasn't kidding about plotting my murder. I thought she'd get bored, but I guess she's driven by pure vengeance. I felt Hana stir below me, so I began playing with her hair.

She blinked a few times before looking up. I was expecting a relieved smile, not a despondent sigh. Hana sat up and ran a hand through her hair. I tried holding her, but she moved out of my reach. I gave her a confused look, so she rested her cheek against her palm.

"I know."

"What?" I scrunched my brows.

"I know." Hana reiterated. My eyes widened and I opened my mouth, but Hana was quicker. "Don't. Just don't."

"Hana, I-"

"I wish to leave this realm and then go back to my home realm."

"Hana, please-"

"Yeira, don't make a scene. I'm going home when I leave." Hana went to stand, but I held her down.

"Hana, just let me explain-"

"Yeira, I was beaten and tortured because of you. I was taken because of you. And I wasn't enough." Hana glanced at a sleeping Acacia.

"You are enough. Just allow me to explain-"

"Yeira, I don't want to talk about it right now. I'm not in the mood. I was kidnapped and tortured. I just want to go home." Hana sternly spoke.

"But, what happens when you leave?" My lip quivered.

"Yeira, that isn't my top priority right now. I need space and time-"

"Hana, no. I'm sorry. I'll be better." I pleaded.

"Yeira, jus-"

The ground began to violently shake. Acacia stirred from her sleep and clutched onto Zena's thigh. Zena covered Acacia with her body and frantically looked around. I held Hana in my arms while she hid her face in my chest. Zena and I glanced at each other, but had no idea what was happening. The ground underneath us began to crack, so the four of us swiftly stood.

Hana grabbed my arm as we ran to a more secure area. Hana crouched below me, so I was able to punch the falling rocks away. Acacia clung onto Zena while screaming from the earthquake.

"What's happening?!" Acacia shouted.

"An earthquake, love! Ever heard of them?!" I replied and earned a glare from Acacia. "It's when the ground-"

"Fuck off!"

"Wouldn't you love that, elfy!"

"Enough!" Hana snapped at me.

"It was just getting good." An eerie voice commented. Zena and I swiftly placed our mates behind us. "Oh, that's very rude." Addy descended to the ground. "This reunion is something that I've been looking forward to for a long time. It's been a very long time."

"Addy, are you okay?" Acacia slowly asked. "You're beyond pale and-"

"I'm fine. Thanks for asking." Addy humorlessly chuckled. "I'd have appreciated that when my love died!" Addy's hands formed fists. "Instead, you all left me to my own despair."

"You shut the gates." Zena responded.

"I was going through something." Addy laughed.

"You took her." I spoke. "You took her from me."
