The Esper's Academy ( Book 1){ Wattys2017}

Chapter 15

Imogen closed the white wooden door with a light thud as she stepped outside of Anna's room with a thoughtful expression plastered across her beautiful features, until that very own expression turned into a annoyed frown by the view in front of her.

Tenjin Winchester.

Tenjin was leaning at the opposite crimson wall with his arms crossed over his strong chest, eyeing her with a scolding and disbelieving look in his intense emerald gaze.

"I can't believe you, Imogen. Really ", he strictly said, as he took a few steps towards her.

Imogen immediately raised a hand, making him stop in his tracks as she snapped back at him," Enough Tenjin ", she strictly said," Stop it already... "

" What's your problem, Imogen? What did you want from the girl? ", said Tenjin," I would have told you what you needed to know "

Imogen faked a forced laugh as she shook her head," No... No, Tenjin you wouldn't "

" I would have told you about the incident's events! "

" Exactly! ", she snapped," You would have told me about the incident! Not about what I needed to know! "

Tenjin was taken aback by Imogen' angry tone before he composed himself and harden his scrutinizing gaze on her," And what is it that you want to know with such a passion, Imogen? "

" The truth "

Tenjin irritatingly run a hand through his silver grey hair and sighed," What are you talking about Imo-"

"Do you think I'm stupid, Tenjin!", she lowly yelled to not be heard by some unwanted ears who may be near them, " Because I guarantee you, I'm not. Do you think I didn't see the resemblance? That girl looks just like Evelyn! I'm not blind. That night I also sense it. Her powers. Her intimidating energy. And I'm not the only one who did. The Elders did too."

Tenjin looked at her with a suspiciously calm expression that irritated her even more that she already was, "She's not who you think she is..."

Imogen pinched her nose in frustration, "I've know you Tenjin from the time I set foot in this Academy as a student and you were teaching me history. Do you think you can fool me?", she rhetorically asked, " You can't. You can't fool me, you can't fool the Elders and most importantly you can't keep fooling yourself. I'm hundred percent sure that she is Evelyn's daughter and I'll do anything to reassure myself. I'll do anything to protect my people and the Magical world, if need be, as the West Kingdom's Queen. I have a duty! And so have you. ", Imogen paused for a second as she saw that Tenjin's emotionless expression wasn't about to respond to her frustrating words," I know you have the answers I'm searching for Tenjin "

" Imogen", he started, " Evelyn died seventeen years ago... I know she was your best friend but... You need to face it already and move on. "

Imogen didn't say anything else as she turned around ready to leave before she say her last words back at him. Not being able to face his intense burning but sad gaze, " I know you are hiding her, Tenjin. I feel it. If Evelyn is still alive you better start talking before it's too late. For the Esper's and Magical world's future. You have a duty. And so has she...", she finished and without wasting another second she dissappeared out of his sight without glancing back at him. Not sparing any other single second to glance at his direction. Although, he wasn't blaming her for it.

Imogen was right....

For everything she said...

But....

"I know you're there... Yvette ", he said as he turned around, facing the other end of the dark crimson corridor.

From the corner of the dark soundless corridor a beautiful brown haired tall woman, appeared with a sad disbelieving smile that couldn't reach her already teary enchanting violet eyes.
