3 Deadly Secrets Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Adrianna’s Point Of View:

Right now I was sitting on my couch wallowing in self misery. My thigh had been bandaged up by Athena, my curly hair was put in a side ponytail, and I was sitting on the couch in a tank top, sweatshirt, sweatpants, and bear claw boots. I was watching the episode of The Nanny where Maxwell told Fran that he loved her and then took it back. She was so pissed. I can understand. He said something and then went back on his word. I sighed. This still wasn’t keeping my mind off of Channing; or should say Caleb. I just can’t believe that he lied to me. I had given him trust and he betrayed me. I sighed. Athena sat next to me and we both sat on the couch, watching the show in silence. Chase, Rikki, and Craig were talking in my kitchen.

“Adrianna, I think you should talk to him.”

“Talk to who?”

“Channing.”

            I didn’t respond. I just kept my eyes glued to the screen. It had gone to the episode where Maxwell was helping Fran get her shirt off and they fell on the bed and Niles walked by and saw them. I lightly smiled. Normally this show would have me rolling on the floor, but I couldn’t seem to laugh right now. Athena let out a frustrated huff and stood in front of the TV. I scowled at her.

“Adrianna, can you please talk to him?”

“Why should I? He was going to give me up to die. He lied to me. Everything that I felt and that I thought he felt, meant nothing! Athena he totally screwed me over! Everyone has just been lying to me all this time!”

            Athena had a guilty look on her face. She knew that I was referring to the information that I received earlier. I found out that Athena is a fire nymph, Chase is a lightning nymph, and Rikki and Craig are werewolves that were sent to protect me because demons hunt nymphs. Geez, my life is a freaking horror movie.

“Look, Adie, we didn’t tell you years ago because we thought that it would keep you safe. And you don’t know his full story. Maybe you should listen to him.”

“Yeah maybe you should.”

            I whipped around and Channing was standing there still soaked from the rain. We just stood there staring at each other and a heavy silence hug over the room. Suddenly I made a mad dash for the door, but Channing ran over, grabbed me by my waist, and lifted me up in the air. I screamed and kept thrashing and kicking while in his arms and he just nonchalantly carried me to my kitchen as if this was normal. Chase, Rikki, and Craig filed out of the kitchen and Channing sat me down on the island. Those traitors! I started screaming rape. He grabbed my arms and turned me to face him. I glared at him and he simply grinned at me.

“You know, for a water nymph, you don’t put up much of a fight.”

“We’ll see.”

            Before he could respond, I jerked my knee up and he doubled over in pain. I flipped over the island, turn on the faucet, and made a sword out of water and froze it. Channing stood up and attempted to come toward me. His attempt was futile, because I pointed the sword at his throat.

“Adrianna put down the sword.”

“No. Get the hell out of my kitchen.”

“Not happening. Just listen to me.”

“No!”

            At this point, I was shaking. I have been lied to and hurt. When was all this crap ever going to end?

“Adri, I’m still little old Caleb that you use to adore. Please just put the sword down and listen to what I have to say.”

            I didn’t know what to do at this point. I was tired of this. I guess there was only one thing to do. I let some of the sword fall on the floor as water and the remainder in my hand had formed into a butter knife. I sliced the palm of Channing’s hand.
