“Something is wrong,” I whisper. “The fire should still be surrounding us.”
How was this even possible?
I was happy it was gone, but it didn’t change the fact that nothing made sense. It was here just a minute ago.
One minute Damon and I were trying to find a way to escape, and the next, we had nothing to escape from.
“We should get out of here immediately,” Damon says as he examines our surroundings. There wasn’t any visible danger, but that didn’t mean we were safe.
“Whatever caused that fire is still around. They’re messing with us. I don’t know what they have planned, but we must return to the others. They need to know that we may or may not have another unknown enemy.”
Right.!!
Back to the engagement. !!
As soon as we returned, the party would continue as though it had never stopped. I was sure Anya was making a scene back home since Damon had left to find me. He was too busy being frustrated over the decisions I’ve been making lately.
“I don’t want to be there,” I whisper.
I did not want to go back. Not tonight. Not while that party was still ongoing.
Damon paused his movements so that he could look back at me.
“What?” he asks.
I can feel the tension in the air between us increase.
“I don’t want to be at that party, Damon,” I say. “It’s why I came into the woods, to begin with. I don’t want to go back there. I’ll do anything not to have to witness that ceremony.”
He runs a hand down his face and sighs. “Clarissa, you don’t expect to remain here after what just happened, do you? And you’re crazy if you think I’ll leave you here just because you asked me to.”
“No,” I mumble. “But I’m not going back there either.”
Damon looks unhappy with me, or maybe he’s upset with our situation. I’m not sure which of those has him angry right now. Judging by the glare he gives me next, it’s safe to say that I’m the one he’s upset with. But according to him, I’m never the one he’s angry with. But it’s possible that he has changed his mind after today.
“Do you know what could have happened to you if Autumn didn’t tell us that she couldn’t find you anywhere?” he demands. “Do you understand the danger you put your life in?”
I press my lips tightly together and glare at him. I’m aware of what I did, but it doesn’t mean I’m proud of my actions.
Doesn’t he realize how painful it would be for me to watch him get engaged to Anya?
“Why do you always do things that endanger your life?” he demands. “Why don’t you realize by now that every time something happens to you, my whole fucking world turns upside down?”
My lips part; why did he have to say that to me? Why?
“Why do you always do that?” I demand, answering his question with one of my own.
He frowns. “Do what?”
I can still hear the irritation in his voice. He’s still angry with me for putting my life in danger yet again.
Doesn’t he realize by now that I only put my life in danger when it concerns him?
If he gave me what I wanted, I wouldn’t have to resort to doing these crazy things to get away from my own emotions.
