It's been two weeks since Raven and Jaxon fought and not one of them told me what happened. I tried asking Jaxon but he ignored me and arroya wouldn't tell me anything. Raven spent all day locked in her room. And avoided me in all of our classes.

I stormed into ravens and arroyas bedroom. "Okay, enough with the silent treatment. I wanna know what happened between you and my brother." I crossed my arms and looked at her. Raven rolled her eyes, and whines pulling the covers over her head.

"I'm gonna give you two a moment." Arroya said. Leaving the room. She gave me a thumbs up and smiled.

I hear the door slam shut and Turn my attention back to the girl that hid under her blanket.

"Raven."

"We got in a fight if it wasn't too obvious." She said under the blanket. I groaned and walked to bed, pulling the blanket off her.

"Tell me what it was about."

"Go ask your brother, I'm sure he'll love to tell you."

"He's ignoring me." Raven looked at me with concern and Confusion in her eyes. She sat up, leaning against her bed frame.

"He did something to a girl that I really care about a Long time ago and I tried to confront him about telling her the truth." She admitted. I never knew Raven liked someone.

But what really took me by surprise was that Jaxon would do something to hurt someone. "What did he do?" Raven looked at me, biting down on her cheek. "I can't tell you, farânak." (Butterfly) I haven't heard that name since I was 12.

Flashbacks

Putting the stool under the tree. I got up trying to reach the injured butterfly. "What are you doing?" A voice behind me said. "Trying to save the butterfly." I say in a "duh" tone.

I went to reach out and foot slipped off the stool. I yelp, falling backwards. I closed my eyes, falling into the arms of the girl behind me. "I don't think breaking a leg would help, farânak." She whispered softly as she put me down. I looked at her confused.

"What does that mean." She smiled. "Butterfly." I turned around and looked up at the tree. "Can you please help me?" I asked. She nodded and got on the stool. Gently grabbing the butterfly.

She got down and handed me the injured butterfly. "What are you going to do?" She asked. "I'm going to ask my aunt to heal her." I say, still looking at the girl. "Thank you for helping." I give her a smile. Which she returned. "My pleasure farânak."

Present

Sitting down on arroyas bed. I think about what Raven told me. Why can't she tell me? I opened my mouth to say something but arroya came into the room. "Oh, am I interrupting?" She asked. I quickly shook my head. Getting up from her bedroom. I went to leave the room, arroya said.

"Oh by the way, I love the drawing you made." She smiled, I snapped my head to her direction, my eyes widened. "You went through my stuff?" She nodded and raised her eyebrows. "You should give it to her." She leaned in and whispered.

I Frowned and left the room.

The next day as we walked outside the boarding house, Jaxon left early. Arroya stood there with her arms around her waist shivering. I took off my jacket and handed to her. "No, I'm okay you keep it." I rolled my eyes and rapped my jacket over her shoulder. "It's cold and your witch which pretty much makes you human and humans get sick." I tell her, she smiled softly.

"Come on I'll give you a ride to school." I tell her. We walked to my car, I open the passenger door for her and shut it behind her. I got in the car. "Is Raven not coming?" She shook her head. "She didn't feel well." I nod and exited out of the boarding house.

*mention of Drugs*

I park my car in the school parking lot. It was a bit cold outside and the clouds were covering the sky. "What are you doing after school?" Arroya said, handing me my bag. "I'm going to party in the woods later tonight." She hummed.

"What?" I chuckle, opening the door for her. The halls were empty so it meant that we were late. "Nothing, it's just that you go to a lot of parties." She said. I could easily tell that something was bothering her.

"Alright, how about we have a girls night. I'll even be nice to Raven." I said. Arroya nodded repeatedly, smiling. We stopped in front of a classroom. "I'll see you in lunch." She said and walked inside the classroom.

Heading over to the my classroom, i see a kid waiting for me in the middle of the hallway. "You really shouldn't be buying drugs in school." I tell them. "You shouldn't be selling them." She says.

I nod and walk over to the restroom, motioning her to follow me. Once we reached the end of the restroom. The girl took out a roll of money from her pocket. Pulling off my bag off my shoulder and opened it up.

"What do you want?"

"Anything strong."

Reaching into the bag, I pull out a small bag filled with pink pills. "Only one. I mean it." I tell her before handing it to her. She nodded and left.

I waited a minute and went to class.

‎‧₊˚✧ ‎‧₊˚✧ ‎‧₊˚✧

I scan the cafeteria for arroya. Once I see her, I begin to walk to her. "Hey, what do you think about this." She said, and pulled out a book.

I grabbed the book, reading the first page. "It's a good book. One of my favorites." I hand it back to her. "I don't like reading." She says. I laugh and nod. "Well you haven't read it yet and "if we were villains" is a great book." I tell her.

"Come on let's go get lunch. I'm hungry." I say.

Arroya stood up and walked next to me. "You're always hungry." I put my hand over my chest. "Are you calling me fat arroya smith." I say, she laughs softly. "No, but we do have to go to back to the school because Mrs. Mikaelson will be angry if you feed off a human." She said, I agree with her and open the car door for her and shut it behind her and I got in the car.

"I have gotten pretty good at controlling my hunger." I say, Turing on my car. Pulling out of the parking lot. Driving to the boarding house.
