CHAPTER 7

"Why are you following me?"

Aelia froze, Goosebumps run up her skin when she heard the low voice that comes from the woman.

Shit! Aelia thought.

Unable to form a response, she stood still. Azriel turned around and faced her.
"I'm asking you." She said staring at the woman in the eyes.

"I... I'm not... I'm not following y...you." Aelia stammered.

"I'm on my way to the field to meet with a friend." she added, gritting her teeth as she lied, Aelia looked away from the woman and averted her eyes somewhere else, and as if fate had mercy, she caught a glimpse of Kali a short distance away, talking to someone.

"KALLISTE!" Aelia shouted wishing the other to hear her and save her from this awkward confrontation.

Kalliste turned at the sound of her name. Her eyes widened when she saw Aelia standing just a few steps away from Azriel.

"What the hell?" She whispered and quickly walked towards the direction of her friend, sensing that the other desperately needed her that very moment.

Kalliste walked away from the person she's talking to, to tend to her friend in need.

"Hey, Bella!" She greeted when she managed to get near the two, she observed Azriel staring at Aelia.

"Is everything okay here?" She asked.

"Yes, I was just about to meet you, right?" Aelia replied, giving Kali a subtle look to go along with it.

"ah, Yes. Let's go?" Aelia nodded quickly, clinging to her and dragging her away without another word.

Azriel didn't say anything. Though she clearly didn't believe the excuse, she let Aelia leave without pressing further. Her gaze remained fixed on Aelia until she disappeared around the corner.

"What was that?" Kali asked her friend the moment they entered their shared bedroom.

"I don't know!" Aelia exclaimed.

"What do you mean you don't know? Why were you with her? Do you know who that was?" Kali asked multiple questions at once.

"I know her, I was following her."

"You what?" Kali exclaimed voice going an octave higher. "Are you stupid? That was Azriel, She's dangerous! why the hell would you go around following her?"

She didn't mean to yell—but she was scared. Everyone at the academy knew who Azriel was. She had a reputation. Rumors claimed she tried to kill her own mother. Kali didn't fully believe those rumors, but her reason for thinking Azriel was dangerous came from something else—her ability.

Azriel's aura radiated darkness like nothing Kali had ever sensed before. The first time she saw her, chills ran up her spine.

Though there's one thing that feels off earlier,

Azriel's aura was light.

"I saw her earlier at lunch. She threw this guy named hunter across the room because he pushed her." Aelia started.
"We made eye contact for a split second, and I felt a sense of familiarity within her eyes, I can't explain it."

Kali continued listening and did not say a word.

"I saw her again when I was walking down the school halls, I was about to get back here but I felt this sudden urge to follow her out of curiosity, so I did."

"Out of curiosity? What if she had hurt you, Aelia? Were you not thinking? You saw her threw hunter across the room and hunter is a huge guy, and you still think it's a good idea to follow her?"
