CHAPTER FOURTY ONE

THIRD PERSON'S POV

Days seem to pass by since the incident , bellarosa has been occupied dealing the issue with her father and luna . and as for genevieve well .. she's still hasn't truly recovered from the sudden attack and the deep fear didn't really sit in her heart

until now

so here she was driving to her best friend for some closure and a distraction from the running thoughts and flashes from that day . her anxiety has been through the roof at the feeling of someone watching her everytime she left the house , she tried telling herself it was nothing and she was just being silly

but it's like an intense gaze is set on her making her skin crawl and eyes move around for any signs of danger

slowing down , she made it to bridget's apartment complex letting out a big sigh . resting her head on her hands for a few moments she sucked in a deep breathe slightly calming her busy nerves

fetting out she walked in the building, smiling politely at the landlord . walking in the elevator she pressed to the 7th floor standing impatiently as she watched the door closed

light music flowed through the elevator as the brunette watched the numbers slowly ticked pass making her anxiously nib on her cuticles , a bad force of habit she picked up when she was younger

after what felt like years the elevator dinged opening the doors as she rushed out speed walking down the hallways to her friend's apartment complex

knocking quickly she looked around both sides feeling the same intense gaze on her once more making the hairs on her neck stand and her breathing picked up as her heart started pounding relentlessly, she knocked again hastily hearing a muffled voice

the door opened revealing bridget "finally" genevieve breathed out rushing past her into the modern apartment with light grey colors and large windows bringing together the modern look

"what's with the rush? you look jumpy" bridget closed the door behind her looking at her best friend concerned

genevieve put her bag on the kitchen contour taking a seat on the barstool as she placed her head in her palms "you okay evie?" asked bridget once again

"mhm" the brunette hummed counting to ten in her head before answering "m'fine just..." she paused sighing deeply

bridget frowned taking a seat next to her "you don't look okay , and you're biting your cuticles again" she grasped the brunette's hand looking at her deep red cuticles surrounding her nails

genevieve folded her lips taking her hand back pulling her sleeves from her wool top to cover her hands "i'm just a bit anxious that's all" she shrugged

"want me to make you some tea" bridget offered with a gentle smile , genevieve nodded with a small smile of her own

"i haven't heard from you in a while" bridget stood as she went to start the water "thought you forgot about me" she let out a breathy laugh trying not to sound hurt

"i'd never b you're my best friend" genevieve frowned "it's... just alot of things going on and i haven't been in the right state of mind" she explained

"it's okay evie it must've been traumatizing since the attack" bridget said with a sympathetized look

"yeah..and it's the wedding in a few days it's alot i haven't really gotten a break" genevieve chuckled lightly

bridget gave her a reassuring smile handing her the tea "you have me always , i'm always here when you need me" she squeezed her hand

"thanks" the brunette smiled placing her hands on the cup , the warmth and aroma calmed her body

"oh! i forgot to show you something" bridget quipped up "i'll be back" she quickly left the kitchen

genevieve blew the steam from the liquid as her eyes scanned the room, she noticed a sudden glint that caught her eyes making her eyebrows furrow . standing she walked to the sink as she saw a small folder that was opened with a letter peaking out as a silver bear sigil planted in the middle

curiously she picked it up as her eyes read the small message .

good job shadow weaver , we've successfully went through the first phase with your help . we are in your depth

we'll inform you when the next phase will take place

genevieve felt confusion flood her body . who was shadow weaver? what was the next phase? and why is this letter with bridget?

she quickly put the letter as it was when hearing footsteps as she made like she washed her hands . bridget entered

"luna got me this the other day" she grinned showing her a bracelet

"oh that's beautiful " genevieve smiled looking at the jewelry piece , but her heart skipped a beat when she saw the small pendent hanging on the bracelet was the same sigil on the letter

"i know right!" bridget grinned happily

the brunette smiled as her mind kept reciting the letter

who could it be?
