Dovesso: When We Were Young

I Miss Her

Present

Lesso's POV

Since the readers arrived, life has been hell for me. If it wasn't that incompetent Sophie then it was the thought or presence of Clarissa. Working close to her. I drown myself with alcohol at night and remain cold and numb during the day. Clarissa avoids me the best she can as well. I don't blame her, not after what I did to her.

Weeks went by and I was teaching a class. Hester and Sophie battled. Sophie nearly killed Hester with a swarm of bees. That swarm formed into the shape of a man. Once again, I found myself trapped in a trance.

"Rafal!" I say softly. Turns out he was there for Sophie, not me. I dragged her out and she asked questions.

"Who is Rafal?" She asked. I did my best to explain and then sent her off.

"If she is the one, Rafal. I will do everything in my power to deliver her to you. My love."

As days passed, it was revealed that Sophie was trying to get Tedros to fall in love with her. The wolves separated them and brought her to the doom room. I made it clear she needed to learn to accept that she was a never and that she was under my watch. If I was going to ready her for Rafal, I had to force her to lose her ego. I took the axe and cut off her hair. I left her there and went back to my office.

All I could think of was Rafal.

Dovey's POV

Weeks had been flying by lately. One day, I was walking down the hall and ran into Lesso. Before either of us could say anything, we heard a lot of commotion in the dining hall.

We went in and saw the Evers and Nevers fighting.

"STOP IT!!" I yelled. Everyone stopped and we found out this was about Tedros and Sophie being together. We took them and Agatha in front of the staff. All of whom were now arguing.

"Please! Please! Please! Dating between Evers and Nevers is strictly against the rules!"

"Thank you!" Lesso said in agreement.

"Yes!"

"Evil in good do not belong together. It's re...repulsive." She said after looking at me. I remained silent. The schoolmaster suggested a trial by tale. Lesso explained the trial by tale to Sophie and Agatha since they were unfamiliar with it.

The whole situation reminded me of when Lesso and I had our trial by tale. All I could think of was how much I missed her, and how much she hurt me.
