VEILed: Destiny Bound By Blood.

Chapter 16 Tears of Venom

Sienna's POV

I looked at the blonde girl sleeping peacefully in front of me. It was as if every little problem has ended and everyone was resting peacefully

Someone once said to me that looks can be deceptive. Now I can understand why it is said so. Sometimes what you see isn't the truth. You have to observe carefully and then you can see the almost invisible lines of truth.

Looking at Prim you can see a small girl with no worries, but if you look closer you can see the faint scars which is a reminder of the amount of suffering she has gone through.

I closed my eyes as I recollected the events.

I opened my eyes to see Grace sitting before me. As soon as she realized that I was awake, a sad smile replaced the previous grim expression.

"How are you feeling, Si?" She asked in a low voice.

"Where am I?" I said in a raspy voice.

Then it clicked...

"Renwick's!! Ohh no where is Prim!? How is she? I have to see her."

I jumped out of the bed and ran towards the door only to bump against someone.

Adrian.

"Sienna!?  Where are you going?"
He grabbed my elbow.

"I am going to see Prim." I said pulling my hand away from his grasp.

"You didn't tell her?" He asked Grace.

"She didn't exactly give me the time to explain." Grace defended.

"Tell me what? I demanded.

Adrian looked at me carefully, as if I was fragile, a glass that can break with the pressure of his words.

"Sienna" he began. "Prim. Prim has slipped into coma."

I folded my hands over Prim's small ones and whispered to her.

"Please wake up Prim. I promise. I won't let them hurt you again. Please just ju- just wa- wake up."

A hand dropped on my shoulder. I looked behind me to see Adrian standing behind me with a sad smile on his face.

I snaked my arms around his shoulders and buried my face in his chest. He turned stiff for a moment but then hugged me back.

"It will be fine Sienna. You must be strong, for Prim, for your parents." Adrian tried to comfort me but at the mention of parents I started crying even more.

"Please bring her back. I will do anything..." I wailed into his shoulder.

"Hey. Hey! Prim is strong. Just like her sister. She will wake up soon." He said.

How soon is soon?

The voice of a throat clearing pulled us apart. I turned to see Philip leaning against the door with a smile on his face.

That's when I realized that I was hugging Adrian.

I felt my cheeks heating up.

"Hello Sienna. Nice to meet you too." He said with a mischievous grin on his face.

"For how long were you standing there?" I asked.

"Ohh. I came in with Adrian. But clearly, you didn't notice me." He grinned. "Now. Where is my hug?"

Adrian scoffed and I blushed.

I smiled and gave him a hug. He hugged me back.

"Prim will be fine Sienna." He whispered.
