Dark Little Secrets

Chapter 7: I'm the villain? Yeah right!

A couple days later and we were still locked up in our cells. Nyx hasn't come yet, she never even wrote or called, nothing. I was anxious to hear about Mary's condition. What would Nyx tell her? Does she even know what happened? I wondered everyday.

"Cas." I said.

"Yes Thea?" He responded

"How did the police know where to look?" I asked, pressing my back against the side wall.

"I—"

"It's just. There were no cameras in the back alley and we were so careful when leaving the apartment." I interrupted .

"Yeah–" He started to say before the door buzzer right as the main door slammed open.

"Y'all know the procedure." The cop said before closing the door leaving a dark figure walking towards us.

"Nyx?" I asked as she walked into the light.

"Hello Athena." She smirked.

"Where have you been? How's Mary, is she okay?" Nyx rolled her eyes as I asked the last question

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?! It's always 'Mary this, Mary that.' Or 'Thena this, Thena that.' Y'all are always talking to or about each other. Y'all are always together!" Nyx said as she walked up to my cell.

"Where is this coming from?" I asked.

"I was always the third wheel with you guys! You both have all of your inside jokes, and you act like siblings while I'm just left in the dust! Y'all were never there for me, only yourselves!" She yelled, reaching for something inside her long black jacket.

"Excuse me! Who helped you when you were being bullied?! Who stood up for you even though it meant that we would both be outcasts and bullied ourselves! We took the fall for you so many times! We got beat up for you so many times!" I yelled back.

"What are you talking about?" She said keeping her hands on something in her jacket pocket.

"Me and Mary never wanted to tell you but we got bullied because we became friends with you. You remember when I broke my wrist, it wasn't because I fell while roller skating with my family. Well, I lied, It was because I got shoved into a locker for and I quote 'being friends with a freak like Nyx'. So don't come at me with the 'we were never there for you bullcrap because we were there for you." My voice started to crack. Tears fell down my cheeks as Nyx grabbed me, holding a knife to my throat that she was hiding in her jacket.

"Mary tried to warn me about you, but I didn't listen. So go ahead, kill me. Kill the person who protected you from our school." I spat, waiting for her to dig her knife into the throat. Her face faltered for a second.

"I'm not going to kill you, Imma let you be tortured in prison for the rest of your life." Nyx said before she walked out the door.

"No." I said as my knees gave out, I pressed my legs close to my chest holding them with my arms. That's what Mary was warning me about on the roof. She was trying to tell me that Nyx was a spy. All this time she was with Alana. She never cared about me, or Mary. All she cared about was herself, and her safety. Even if it meant harming the only people who truly had her back.I couldn't hold back the tears any longer.

"Thea." I heard Cassian whisper.

"I should've known." I said.

"How could you have known?" Cassian asked. "It's my fault anyways. I found out that she was a spy but she threatened me, saying she was going to kill you and my family if I said anything." Cassian started tearing up. "I am so sorry, Thea." He said as his voice cracked.
