To Lovingly Hate You

No Ordinary Girl

Adeline POV

I... I am so... so horribly embarrassed, I just had to get away as soon as I could.

The moment the forest gave me just enough cover, I found a quiet place and leaned my back against a large oak tree and took a deep breath to attempt to clear my head... closing my eyes and quickly clearing my cheeks of any tears as I focused on my breathing... as my head spun with everything that just happened.

Melody must think the worst of me... good gods, I didn't... I didn't realize how out of hand this was bound to get so quickly until it was happening right before my very eyes... the second I tried to distance myself from the guys I was using they just absolutely lost their minds and tried to sabotage me at every corner...

... my salty tears left a glisten on my skin, sinking in as my sadness slowly melted... into boiling anger.

How fucking dare they make me look so horrendous in front of Melody like that? I know I need to tidy up that part of my life a little, sure, but to make me look so horrible... and then turn their sick gazes towards her... fuck that, I will never let them have her, ever.

Over my dead body.

If any of them, and I mean any single one of them even attempt to do a goddamn thing to Melody I will have their goddamn head, I've been good all my life, I've been a good little vegan when it comes to the siren blood that runs through my veins... mermaids may not eat humans, but sirens do, and hybrids... get to choose... and if they dare even lay a single finger on her with ill intent... I will choose to drop my vegan diet, and I'll enjoy every single drop of blood I can drink from their sorry shells.

I gritted my teeth, slowly stopped leaning on that tree, and just... processed that they have their eyes on her now, those sick bastards. She's just a little girl, even if she wasn't I don't care! She could be a hundred years old, but I would still vow to kill every single wretched soul who wrongs her in such a vile manner. Drinking their blood dry would delight me more than anything else in this world. They don't get to have their filthy gazes on her, let alone their sticky hands... oh if they wanted my mercy... it is far too late now.

I won't let her end up like me, under no circumstance will I allow her childhood to be cut short, her innocence to be ripped away from her, or her girlhood and dignity to be stolen from her.

I suddenly turned on my heels and began marching back to Auradon Prep, I will not be reduced to some soppy little mess so easily, I've worked too hard to wrangle the reputation they forced upon me to let them tear it out of my hands like that, who the fuck do they think they are?!

The moment I began to march back, of course... he just had to follow me like some sort of shadow, as ironic as that is,

"Turn around, we're going back, fuck them and fuck this"

I muttered as I grabbed Harry's wrist the second I was next to him, promptly causing him to stop and be dragged back with me with a firm arm. He walked right by my side, seemingly rather surprised to see me judging by the look of slight shock in his eyes,

"So... are ya alright then?"

He asked as I marched on, glancing at him as he looked on in concern now... geez, the guy has to lighten up a little, it's gonna take so much more to beat me down, are you kidding me?

"Oh I'm so alright... if you hold each of them down my nails are sharp enough to circumcise each of them with surgical precision, what do you reckon? You're the blood of a villain, does that sound like good payback for how they spoke to my little sister in such an atrocious matter?"
