Chapter 10-Music

     I was walking quickly and kept cursing myself in my head at how stupid I was. After the interaction, I walked towards the woods and I knew I was just going to run till I dropped.

     "You're not stupid," Achys said.

     Oh no, I very much am. It was so stupid of me to let you have that much control. It was so stupid of me to talk to him. It was so stupid of me to even make it known I was his mate. I should have never given whatever clue I gave him that informed him I was his soulmate. So yes, I am very stupid.

     "I'm sorry. He tried to take away the noises. It scared me and I felt he was scaring you. Plus, I didn't like the memories that were coming up."

     It's fine. I'm not mad at you, just the situation.

     "Can I have blood?"

     Yeah, after I have my run. Anything you want to listen to?

     "House of Memories by panic! At The Disco please."

     I laughed because of how much she likes that song. Sure.

     After the long run, I could barely stand. That has been the hardest I've ever worked myself. I ended up throwing up twice and passed out once. I was exhausted, even after getting blood, so I gladly went into my dorm and fell asleep.

     I woke up the next day with a terrible feeling. I sometimes get these feelings when Father is about to send me on a big mission that doesn't end well, so I'm going to be anxious all day. I can tell that Achys is also on edge, but we'll just have to wait to see what happens.

     I put on some soft, quiet music as I didn't want to have Draco coming up to me for waking him up so early. I also made sure I could hear when my phone went off, as I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a message from Father.

     I was in care of magical creatures when I heard the beep that informed me that a message had come in. It paused the song playing, which turned out to be Moral of the Story by Ashe.

     It's kind of ironic because I can't even get my soulmate to like me. I hope he doesn't think I'm extremely desperate for him. I want him to talk to me at least, but it makes it easier to pretend I don't know who my soulmate is and have to push him away for his own safety. So in the end, it's best like this.

     Walking a little farther into the woods so I could go on my phone without getting in trouble. Looking at the message, I saw he was sending me on a big mission that will take many days to finish. There were many problems, though.

     One was there not being any breaks coming up, and I know I can't miss any school. He wants me to finish before the end of next week, and this mission needs at least a week of research to be done before I can even start. The last problem is I can't use any weapons or my wand. The client requested it, so I have to follow through with it.

     Sighing, I headed back to the group and listened to the rest of the lesson while Achys started making a plan and deciding what research needed to be done. I know at the end of this I'll get a 'reward,' which will really be spending the night with someone when I don't want to. But it's not like I have many choices.

     Walking back to my dorm, I got started on a plan. First I'm going to have to find this guy, then figure out where he is at night, then think of how to kill him. All before the end of next week. Today's Wednesday.
