Flight or Fight

Chapter 18

The next morning when I woke up, Damian was already up, like usually and he was looking out on the window while he was drinking coffee. I got up from the bed, and I hugged him from behind.

"You're up?" He asked me while, he turned around and hugged me. I looked up in his eyes and smiled, while he was patting my head.

I wished time would stop in this moment. But our cute moment was interrupted even before I could've responded to him back.

My sister didn't even knock on the door, she just rushed in, but when she saw us, she just turned around and started apologizing. "I'm so sorry. I just wanted to speak something with my sweet sister."

Damian looked at her a bit angry and said, "And what was that urgent that couldn't wait until later?"

"Well... Uhm... I just need to talk something with her... Girl thing..." Lily said with an awkward smile on her face.

"Even if it's a girly talk, you should respect your sister's privacy. Especially now that she is Queen." Damian said and then added, "You can go now."

"Yes," Lily said, but before she went out, she mind linked me "Hurry up. It's about Maya."

I looked at her and I answered back the same way "What do you mean? Is she okay?"

"She is, but soon you will not." My sister told me while she went out from the door.

Damian looked at me and asked me "She mind linked you, don't she?

"Well, kind of..." I said, not knowing what to say.

I would've told him the truth but seeing that Lily didn't mention anything in front of him, it must've been something important for me. I wonder what it is.

I did quickly my morning routine and I went with Damian to have breakfast with the others. While we were sitting on the table, I noticed that my sister was really anxious. She tried not being obvious but she kind of failed.

"Lily! Are you okay? Why are you so anxious?" My mom asked her. Lily just looked at our mom and after a few seconds of silence I noticed that my sister didn't knew what to say so I stepped in. "She's alright, just she is not used to being far from home, from friends..."

Who am I fooling? My mom knows her daughters well, plus everybody here is a werewolf. So, they know when someone it's lying or not.

It took forever to finish eating. The minutes looked like hours. I just wanted to grab my sister and to go out from there so we could talk. But for some reason it took forever.

When we finished my sister and me stood up straight away, while everyone just looked at us.
