Dellings Secrets of The South

Chapter 39

Dimitri

Things weren't getting better. Every day more lives were being taken and I couldn't do anything about it. I've locked myself in my room several times, refusing to even go out to eat and witness everything that was happening, because it was partly my fault. Sakura may have been right that I wasn't the one killing them, but we were in this situation because of me.

The search was still going on and people were becoming more hysterical. Walking around was even more dangerous than before, even now as I walked to go meet up with Shaylin and Daevon, I kept looking over my shoulders just in case someone would jump out of the crowd and pounce on me.

I reached the bedroom door of Shaylin and knocked. It was only two seconds before she opened up and gestured for me to go inside. Daevon was already there, seated on a chair near her bed.

Because of everything happening, we decided it will be better if we met up in our rooms for more privacy. Outside was no longer an area to feel at ease, not that it was to begin with.

"Where's Sakura?" Shaylin asked, going to sit at the edge of the bed while I closed the door behind me. Locking it just in case.

"She won't be involved for now on, a least not for a while." I met both of their eyes while I spoke, for assurance that I was not lying, even if I was.

I didn't want to tell them what really happened. Shaylin already didn't like Sakura and I didn't want to give her more reasons to.

Despite what happened, I still looked at Sakura as a friend. I did not trust her but I didn't wanna turn my back on her either.

The last two days haven't helped at all with our situation. We've spoken, mainly about our plan on escaping and how it'll be better if she wasn't as involved anymore. I tried to talk about other, normal, casual things but it wasn't the same. I couldn't even look at her without being reminded of what happened.

It wasn't just her telling Tom. Tom was her friend, that's fine but it was the consequences of it. If Alastor was in a bad mood she would've been dead, we would've been dead if an investigation was done. She did something stupid and on top of that she stole the vial from me also. She used her tears as a weapon to get close to me then she robbed me.

And that one hurt most because it left me wondering whether or not those tears were real. Did she really feel guilty? Or was it all just an act to distract me so she could take the poison?

I am still wondering what she's done with it? If she could have possibly given it to Nekane.

I appreciated her having my back with the whole lab thing by being my alibi, and still having my back now by not saying anything but that wasn't enough to let it all go.

When you live in an area like Southside, trust is vital, and she broke that. Earning my trust when I met her was easy, it was like a shiny, new vase that I gave to her and now that she slammed it into the ground, breaking it into millions of pieces, even if we both tried to glue those pieces back together it wouldn't be the same. But I wasn't ready to throw away those pieces yet.

With what Tom did, she didn't have anyone else but me. Our friendship wouldn't be like before but I wouldn't leave her alone. Especially not with Nekane. I didn't like that guy.

"You finally learned you couldn't trust her?" Shaylin, smiled, a twinkle shinning in her eyes. I had a feeling she would be happy about this, Daevon on the other hand looked the same. His features were rested like he just got out of bed.

I didn't answer her. "I think we should lay low for a while." I said instead, leaning against the door behind me. "Alastor is tightening his leash on us and there are eyes everywhere; it'd be easy to get caught now."
