Beyond His Evil

Chapter Forty Eight

"What's going on between Devon and you ?".

"Why are you asking me that ?", I repeated the words she had said to me.

She cocked her head to the side and scoffed, before stepping back.
"I'm not stupid Kira, I see the way you look at him. I notice how you two are around each other, and whenever anything happens to you ? He becomes something else. He might be kicked out of safe land after the anniversary tomorrow, because of you ! So I really want to know Kira, what is going on between you two ?".

I frowned at her words, "What do you mean by ... ".

"Answer me !", She screamed.

I didn't know why my heart was pounding hard against my chest, why did I feel like I had stolen something and I was about to be punished for it.

"I don't know how to answer that question", I told her.

Her burning eyes drilled into mine, "Do you love him ?".

I held her gaze, there was no point in lying to her, "Yes ".

Her voice noticably went down a notch, "Are you in love with him ?".

I nodded slowly, "Yes".

She pulled her long hair back with her hand, "Tell me, are you guys together ?".

I bit my bottom lip, "I ... I don't know ".
Why was she interrogating me ?

"You didn't say no, that means you guys have more than a master, and student relationship ", She said.

I let out a breath, "Evelyn look ... ".

She was suddenly directly in front of me with tears in her eyes, and an accusing finger pointed at my face.
"You knew how I felt about him ! You knew exactly how I felt, yet you act like you're a friend of mine, while fucking him behind my back ".

I swallowed the lump in my throat, "I ... We aren't ... ".

"Oh you want to tell me you two aren't fucking ?", Tears rolled down her cheeks, "That Devon would ... ", She paused breathing hard, "I hate you !", Her voice broke, "You are a terrible hunter, and being ".

I didn't even know what to say.
"You two weren't ... ".

"How would you even fucking know !", She cut me off harshly, she sniffed and wiped her tears away. "How would you fucking know ? I fucking hate you Kira whatever the fuck you call yourself".

And she left leaving me feeling guilty, hurt, confused and just tired of life.

I had laid on my bed thinking about Evelyn, and eventually slept off. I was exhausted in every way. When I woke up, I immediately went to take a shower. I noticed they had replaced the mirror in the bathroom, and I avoided it at all cost. I was too drained to deal with any thing now.

I wrapped my towel around my body, opened the bathroom door and I saw Devon standing near my bed holding a piece of paper. My heart skipped several beats.
His eyes moved to mine immediately he realised I was there, and moved down to the ground when he saw I was only tying a towel.

"Hi", I greeted. There was so much tension, so much to say, and I felt like there was no time.

"I heard you had woken ", his voice washed over me in waves and I shuddered, "I wanted to check up on you, I guess I came at the wrong time".

My legs started moving towards him, and I pulled his face with my hands gently so he was facing me.

"How are you ?", I mumbled,  withdrawing my hands when he leant into my touch.
