The Crazy Tyrant Wants To Kill Me(EDITING)

31 - The Fight Between Lucas And Cedric(Rewrittened)

My eyes shook as I read the note again and again. What is the secret? Who is this stalker? 

I crumpled the note into a ball and tossed it into the toilet, then flushed it. I watched the water swirl and swirl along with the note and... the toilet got blocked?

"..."

I turned away from the toilet, my cheeks flushed red. Who cares? I have bigger things to worry about other than a blocked toilet!

 I need to know the secret, and who the stalker is. And why is the stalker stalking me?

Is there even a secret? Or is this just a trap?

I clenched my jaw. There's only one way to find out. I exited out of the stall, washing my hands in the sink. I'll have to risk it, as I'm choosing to trust this stalker and do what they say. However as I slipped out of the washroom, I bumped straight into Lucas. 

"...!" My eyes widened. What was he doing here?

Lucas grabbed my chin and pushed me against the wall. 

My heart beat faster with panic. W-what's going on? My mouth went dry. My mind was a mess with Lucas and the note and the stalker.

My back was pressed against the cold wall. He grabbed my chin, lifting it up so our eyes locked.

What in the world is going on?!

Is this kabedon?!

"What in the world do you think you are doing?" I shouted at Lucas, spit flying into his fist. "Let go of me! Do not kiss me, if that's what thinking of doing!"

Lucas tightened his grip on my chin, causing it to go white. "Kiss? Stop dreaming!"

He let go of my chin, grabbed both of my wrists and began to twist them.

"Ah! Why are you doing this?!"

"Because you hurt the emperor! I can't control my anger anymore! If I don't hurt you, I'm going to go crazy!"

The pain in my wrists increased as Lucas continued to twist them. 

"Then go crazy!" I screamed. I looked around for help. He finally stopped as I winced in pain, tears welling in my eyes. "Heartless beast."

Hello? The heartless beast here is you! Are you too blind to see that I'm not Julia?!

I tried to break free from his hands. My wrists were in so much pain that tears started to prick my eyes. I felt like my wrists were going to split open.

My blood was boiling, my tears were stinging, and my teeth chattering with anger and fear. But then suddenly...

Bam!

Cedric appeared from behind Lucas and knocked him to the ground. Lucas instantly released me as he fell to the floor, staring at Cedric in disbelief. 

I staggered at the sudden release, my body swaying. But Cedric caught me in his arms. My eyes widened.

I didn't feel any spark or warmth like last night when Theo had me in his arms. 

Lucas stood up angrily, looking at us. "Cedric, what are you doing?!" Lucas exhaled sharply. "Because of her-" Lucas pointed a finger at me, "-you pushed me?!"

"I won't let you hurt her," Cedric answered blankly, but I knew a lot was going on in his mind. I felt slightly bad for him.

"We grew up together!" Lucas exclaimed, tears welling up in his eyes. "We did everything together! We were childhood friends..." Lucas lowered his head and clenched his fists. "And last night you told me there were no sparks now when you are near her." He pointed at me, his hand shaking in anger.

"But my cheeks turn red and my heart speeds up when I think of her," Cedric said blankly, like he wasn't talking about himself. How could he not be embarrassed when talking about such thing?

Lucas started yelling about how Cedric had already fallen out of love with me. As they yelled, the gears in my head turned and I suddenly knew why.

Cedric had no sparks when with me me because I'm Amanda! The person he loves is Julia Kite. When he thinks of Julia, he feels love because he is picturing Julia in his mind, not me.

I held back the urge to tell him, as I knew he would never believe me.

"I hate you Cedric!" Lucas screamed, his face beet red. "I've done so much for you, I've tried to understand you, comfort you... But in your heart I'm lower than this little traitor?" He pointed at me.

"Lu-" Cedric started, but Lucas shoved Cedric out of the way, storming off.

Cedric released me. His pupils were filled with shock. I could see that he was heartbroken. Even the cold emperor had emotions.

I just stared at him as he walked down the wall, leaving me all alone.

When he was fully gone from view, I slumped down onto the wall. I hated seeing everyone so miserable because of me and my sister. I needed to find Julia, if she's still alive!

Maybe Theo knows where Julia is!

....Or the stalker.
