The Binding Fates SEASON 1: The Past

Chapter 39: Consume

For days I endured Louisette's little pranks. From a sudden bucket of cold water falling from the door of the cafeteria, death prank threats, my name written in my locker using blood, breaking the strings of my bow, mixing different kinds of chemical things into my pot in every chemistry class and their mocking stares at suddenly laughing at me whenever I enter a room when they're inside.

There's even a time when some students who still hate my guts went into Louisette's side and sabotaged my sword fight with other people using the students from Rahania. I already see through their little pranks but I have never thought she would come to this far.

The student from Rahania, my enemy for this round, almost killed me because we used real swords. I'm still lacking in many ways when using swords and daggers — it's a piece of sweet information for Louisette because she's also skilled in every weapon in the world on par with Raymond's skills.

She deliberately used this information to prank me. At that time, I realized something — it is not a prank but a warning. I clench my fist as I grit my teeth, what warning is it this time? I have not done any single thing to her and yet here she is, stirring trouble in every possible way.

That day, as I clench my fist and grit my teeth, the host announced my defeat and that the one who won is my enemy. I can still clearly remember what my enemy's face become. He was smirking at me as if he was disappointed since I am Lucia and Aniya's, Descendants. That I should've been skilled in everything, especially bows and swords.

I feel pathetic as I walked away stomping my feet from the training ground. I sigh.

Calm down, Elyse. There's no good to get mad at her. I should find a good time and place to make her pay for what she's been doing to me. I want good and sweet karma to come into her life.

I sigh again and starts walking when I accidentally bumped into someone.

"Ah! Sorry I didn't see you there —" I spoke but my words were cut off when a familiar and annoying figure pooped in front of me.

"Oh my! I'm so sorry, Miss Elyse!" Louisette said while her voice echoed in the empty and silent hallway. I didn't react and stare at her with my piercing gaze, she smiled back at me.

That smile of hers is full of mockery for me. It's getting on my nerves.

"My, how pitiful you look, Miss Elyse, here let me help you —" Louisette continues when she noticed a cut on my hand — the cut that the Rahania student gave me when we were fighting earlier at the training ground. As she was about to grab my hand, I quickly slapped her hand away from me and smiled brightly — also faking my smile.

"No. I shouldn't trouble you more, Miss Hildegarde. It would be bad to be seen from other students helping a lowly commoner of the traitor's descendant by the almighty Hildegarde." I spoke and it made her feel enraged but her smile didn't fade away.

She scoffed, "My look at your nerve in there, Miss Elyse." I scoffed too.

"Yeah sure. I know you've been faking your kindness towards me, Miss Hildegarde. Although I don't know your history with Aniya. There is no confirmation yet if I am indeed her Descendant or not." I replied. Her expression changed and glares at me full of rage and hatred.

She grabs my face closer to hers and gave me a deadly glare.

"Yes. That's right. I've been faking my kindness towards you. You, a lowly birth became Aniya's Descendant. Well, I don't have any problem with that because that's what she deserves for fvcking destroying the Alphas because of her greed and her fvcking weak self. But what I hate the most Elyse is why you became Tina's Descendant! You, a lowly born became her Descendant. Tina the almighty Alpha." Louisette whispered in my ear.
