The Last Librarian

Chapter 13

Everard

"Everard, Everard wake up! Everard"

"Owww!" I forced my eyed open. Edilia is looking down on me, fierce looking and beautiful Edilia. Then she slap me again.

"What the fuck!"

"Sorry, you're not waking up."

It took me a moment to remember where are we or what happened. "Shit we have to get out. That woman!"

"What are you doing here?"

"The doors lock. Try opening that window." She didn't moved. So I walked over there myself but it was sealed shut by metal rails. Based on the light outside the day will end in less than an hour. We have to get out of here.

"What's going on?" She narrowed her eyes at me.

I tried the door again. "Hey I'm talking to you." My musles bulging in my shirt as I pushed the doorknob until I heard a cracked.

"Great! Just great! You destroyed Lady Cecilia's knob. I'm sure she will never let me come back again."

"What the hell is wrong with you!" I yelled at her. All my frustrations coming to the surface. "Did you know what situation we are in?"

She stood up he head facing up since I'm a head taller than her then started pointing her finger at my chest. I didn't notice how she looks good with that red dress she's wearing. "Lady Cecilia has been kind to me, offered me food and bath and clothes. She asked me if I would like to take a nap and when I woke up, you're there sleeping on the floor." I tried to focus on her finger, I really did. But her finger is quite aligned with her creamy chest.

She noticed where I'm looking at he face heated but I caught her hand before she slap me.

"If you haven't left in the first place then none of this will happen. Do you think we're gonna sit there and do nothing?"

"I'll survive on my own I can do this on my own! You know I'm not enough, you all hate me for not being a Vineriya."

I eyes widened. "Edilia, none of us thinks that,"

"Not you, but I heard people talking in the hallways and murmur ever since I arrived."

"Fuck them, Edilia, it's not a sin to survive. Your master loves you as much as he loves his children."

"I always ask myself why he saved me and not them."

I grabbed her shoulders and force her to look at me. Her eyes are somber.

"Edilia, I'm sorry for everything that happened to you, I'm sorry that we haven't met by then. But it's not true, you're part of us. Don't you see how important you are!"

"I know but you don't understand. You guys almost die just to protect me. Elspeth did and I know you'll sacrifice your friends to protect me too. I can't live knowing you all died for me. Me? Did you saw me? I'm a mess!"

He confession suck out of my remaining frustration. I pulled her close to me and let her sob. "I don't want to go back with you. You're going to die." She murmured on my chest.

"I'm not, we're not. I promise."

"You can't promise that."

"Look at me." She didn't comply so I pushed her from my chest put my hands on her face and raise her chin up to me.

"Try to run Edilia, let see if I let you. If you think you can get away from me then run. So think again."

"Why are you doing this?"
