Always and Forever (COMPLETED)

Chapter 15

"I will leave their safety in your capable hands." bilin ko kay Val.

We're here at Tristan's room right now with Raven. I can't stop thinking about them because I will be gone for a week. Natatakot ako sa mga pwedeng mangyari.

"Did you forget that I'm a witch too, Liv?" Raven said, irritated. "I can protect myself."

Napangiwi ako. Yes, she's a witch and she knows a lot about magic by studying grimoires, but she doesn't have any experience in an actual battle. Unlike Val and the others who fought for their lives once.

I took off my necklace, the one auntie Riley filled with magic before. The one I used when I was still a just siphon witch. The one with the Sinclair family crest.

Iniabot ko ito kay Raven. "This necklace is filled with magic. I'm gonna lend this to you while I'm away so that you can have something to siphon from."

Raven looks hesitant to accept it. "I know how much this necklace means to you. Are you sure about this?" nag aalangang tanong niya.

Yes, it is important. It's the only thing that connects me with my family. But I want her to be safe.

I smiled then nodded. "You are more important."

Kahit halatang nag aalangan pa rin ay tinanggap niya ang kwintas ko. "Thank you." she whispered.

"What about me?" singit ni Tristan.

"Just stick with Elijah, T. He's an idiot but he can protect you. He can be trusted." sagot ko.

Naningkit ang mga mata ni Val. "You sounded like you know him very well."

I bit my lower lip. "He's my cousin. I gathered some information about them before." I lied. "That's why I know a few things about you guys too."

Val winced. "Now you sound like a creepy stalker."

I grinned. "Said the one who's been stalking me before." pang aasar ko.

I haven't confronted her about the tracking device she put on me. Maybe some other time. We're friends now and that's more important.

"Why don't you turn me into a vampire so I can protect myself?" biglang singit ni Tristan.

I glared at him. That's the most stupid thing I've heard from him so far. When I turned into a vampire, I struggled with my bloodlust for a month. Good thing Raven was there to help me overcome it. As much as possible, I don't want to involve them with other supernaturals, and now he wants to be one? That's absolutely crazy.

"You know how difficult a life of a supernatural is, Tristan Rivers. Whenever you think about that, think about them too." seryosong sabi ko.

Nag iwas ng tingin si Tristan. Alam kong naintindihan niya ang gusto kong iparating. Good. What he said is crazy.

"Who's them?" curious na tanong ni Val.

"Important people in his life." simpleng sagot ko.

"It's getting late." nabaling ang atensyon namin kay Raven nang magsalita siya. "You need to sleep early, Olivia. You'll leave at 3 in the morning, right?" paalala niya.

Right. Our bus leaves at 3:30. I don't know where we're going but I heard it's too far from here so we need to leave early. Damn it. I want to stay here.

"Yeah. I'll sleep here again." I said lazily.

I want to talk to Tristan about something. It's related to why I'm pursuing Gale.

"No!" halos sabay na sigaw nila Val at Raven.

Tinaasan ko sila ng isang kilay. "Why not?"

Val looked away. "It's not good for a girl to sleep in a guy's room." she whispered.
