the bad luck charm

chapter 3

singing

as i followed the boy with light brown hair,he would turn to me and watch me for a couple of seconds. i could feel his gaze. it was like a hot wire running through my body. i would look up every so often and see him watching me,smiling. after about three mintues of walking we reached a long,streched out room. the walls where a peach colour and the floor was a grey wood. on each wall,their were pictures,musical instruments,a dart board and other activitys. the room was empty apart from crystal. she sat in the conor. however when she saw me,she skipped towards me and gave me another hug. "hi," she smiled. "good morning," i said,keeping my straight face. "wh-" crystal began to say before she got interupted by lucas. "the guitar is over here,royal," he smiled to me. i watched him walk over to it before leaving crystal. i looked back to her and gave her a 'im sorry' look. she looked back and smiled as if to say 'its okay'.
i continued to follow lucas but kept my eyes on the ground. it was a couple off seconds before he stopped in his tracks. i looked up to him and saw his eyes widen. i looked infront of him and saw another boy. he was taller than lucas by a lot and towered over me. "look,its the puppy," he snarled. i stepped out from behind lucas,but instantly regretted it. "aw its a kitty," he said standing straight. he walked closer to me and i stepped back. "what do you want,damion," lucas growled. instantly his wings grew larger and spiked out from his back. i looked closer to see that he was an alpha. his mark began to glow as he howled at lucas. "thats no way to talk to your high arcy is it,Mr grayson?" at this point lucas was shaking violently. he was cowering under this boys voice. i reached out and took lucas' hand in mine. he looked back at me and i gave him a quick smile before he looked back at daimon. his shaking had calmed down by a lot. "what do you want?" he asked again. "well you see, miss royal here," he said smirking and walked up to me. he grabbed my wrist and pulled me from behind lucas. his grasp was strong and i felt the blood stop. i whinced from underneath his grasp,causing lucas to leap forward. "oi let her go you b@stard!" lucas yelled. "no,so as i was saying.." daimon said pushing lucas to the ground and tightening his grip on my wrist. "this b!tch," he glared at me. "is my familys enemy." "shes normal!" daimon yelled at lucas. lucas situated himslef onto his feet and began to walk forward towards daimon,a new look in his eyes. "l-lucas," i stuttered. daimon let me go and i crumbled to the ground. i stumbled backwards and grabbed lucas' wrist. "it's okay," i said,trying to smile. lucas gave daimon a quick glare before helping me up. i looked at daimon who didnt seem remorsful about what he did what so ever. he began to walk away until he got infront of me. "let that mark be a lesson,young one," he growled pointing to the new bruse showing on my wrist, "let it be a lesson to teach you to respect me and my family unlike that b!tch of a person you call mother," he smiled and walked off.
lucas made sure diamon had gone before he helped me up. i whinced as he held my wrist. "are you okay?" he asked me. "i'm okay," i smiled. "ignore him okay?" lucas smiled back. "thank you,lucas," i said taking his hand and standing up. "w-well the giutar you wanted," he stuttered and handed me a burgandy instrument. i accepted and smiled. "your welcome," he smiled. "d-do you want me to leave or..?" he asked,pointing to the entrance. "no its okay," i smiled and sat on a stool that was next to me. i let my tail sway as i tuned the guitar. i took a deep breath and looked at him. "i can go.." he said. "im fine..just nervous," i said looking at him. again, i inhaled air and breathed out. i strummed the first note and looked at the ground.
'beware,beware, be skeptical' i sang. i heard a little gasp coming from the mouth of the boy opposite. 'Of their smiles, their smiles of plated gold decite so natural But a wolf in sheep's clothing is more than a warning Bah-bah-black sheep, have you any soul?' i carried on. i heard a few people come in and a voice sing some of the song. 'no sir by the way what the hell are morals?' they obviously knew the song so i carried on. 'jack be nimble,jack be quick jills a little wh0re and her alibis are dirty tricks' i placed the guitar on the floor and turned to see who had joined me singing. i turned around to see one of my friends. "brilliant song that is," they smiled at me. "brilliant voice,knight," i smiled back. "thank you," they smiled at me. i stood up and began to make my way to lucas before someone grabbed my hand. "whats this?" knight asked pointing to my wrist. the bruise had grown and and my hand was tense. "i-i," i stuttered. "it was daimon," lucas answered for me. "im gonna kill him," knight growled. one of their eyes had grown red and their pupil took the shape of a skull. "knight im okay, its just a bruise," i sighed pulling my wrist away. i walked to the corner and slid down the wall. when i reached the floor,i tucked my legs up to my chest and held the them. i placed my head onto my knees and watched everyone. they were all looking at me like i was some child who had finished crying. "im fine," i smiled. lucas walked up to me andcrouched to where i was sitting. he whispered something and made sure no-one else could hear. "i know he's hurt you,royal," he whispered. "i can see it in your eyes," he then said, "and don't worry,i'll make that son of a b!tch pay," he added. i shuffled forwards and hugged him. "thank you lucas," i whispered.
