Chapter 14 DPOV
Revenge; The action of inflicting hurt or harm on someone for a wrong suffered at their hands.
------------------------------------------
As I flicked through the folders in the cabinet where the student files were kept I thought about the conversation Alberta and I had yesterday.
“I’ve been keeping a close eye on Vasilisa like you asked, and you’re right, she’s been acting strangely. She’s winning the royals over a little too fast. I’m beginning to feel suspicious.” Alberta said with a serious look on her face. I nodded.
“Do you think she’s bribing them somehow?” I asked. She shook her head.
“No. This is something more. I watched her in class the other day. She started talking to Camille who at first had no interest in conversing with her but by the end of the lesson they were practically best friends. I can’t understand how.” Her eyebrows furrowed, indicating she was deep in thought. I thought for a minute to. How did Lissa go from being unpopular to popular in barely two weeks? It didn’t make sense. Suddenly Alberta’s facial expression changed.
“She could be using magic, we’ve seen it happen before…” she said in a new tone of voice. I raised an eyebrow in surprise.
“You think she’s compelling them to be friends with her?” I said. Alberta nodded in absolute certainty.
“But we don’t know why…” she trailed off. There was a moment’s silence.
“Actually I think I might.” She nodded, encouraging me to go on. “You’ve seen how protective Rose and Lissa are of one another. The other day I overheard them talking and Vasilisa said she’d ‘take care of everything’. What if that meant her compelling the royals to defend Rose on the blood whore rumours?”
“It makes sense. Vasilisa’s winning them over one by one and the more people she groups together the more likely the rumours will be put to rest.” A smile appeared on Alberta’s face at this realization. “It also fits in with your Mia theory about Lissa trying to turn people against Mia as payback for what she did to Rose.” A hint of a smile flickered on my lips but soon turned serious.
“You can’t tell Kirova about Vasilisa using compulsion, it’ll just make things worse.” I said.
“You know I’m only doing this for Rose and because I think her punishment was unfair. Rose must protect Vasilisa, she’s the best choice. The bond connects them in ways that aren’t natural. This is the only secret I’m keeping for you Belikov, but be careful. I know how supportive you are of Rose but try not to get too involved. We both have a job to do, I’ll try and find out Mia’s motives and see if we can somehow think of a way to stop her from interfering with the girls.” I nodded in agreement, thankful Alberta was on my side.
------------------------------------------------
I finally found the file I’d been looking for. Mia Rinaldi’s name and picture were printed on the first page. I read over her information and background. She wasn’t royal and her parents worked as maintenance staff at a royal moroi’s household. There was no dark secrets to be found and I frowned, somewhat disappointed. A buzz on my phone had me quickly putting back Mia’s file and leaving the room. As I walked down the hall I opened my cell and read the new text message from Alberta.
Spied Mia and Jesse heading in to the rec room. Think they’re up to something, might want to check it out. –Alberta
Without a word I made my way over to the rec room and paused at the door, listening for voices.
“I don’t think this is right, Rose didn’t deserve that. I’m not going to support the rumours anymore.” A male voice said.
“No. You have to. I told you already. Obey me and you will be rewarded." a female voice coxed.
“Yeah? How?” the male voice said suddenly aroused.
“Like this…” There was silence on the other side of the door except for some shuffling. I looked up and down the hallway, scanning for students or staff. Nothing. I quickly bent down and checked underneath the door and saw that the main light was off inside but a small lamp was left on. Two figures were sprawled on the couch in the corner of the room. A television set was my only cover, I had one shot at this. I had to choose my moment wisely. When things started getting heavy between the two figures I cracked open the door and darted behind the television set so fast that the two figures remained oblivious. The words ‘Lethal strike’ played in my mind. As I snuck a peak from the other side of the room I saw that the two figures were indeed Mia and Jesse on the couch kissing intimately. In a second flat I had my phone out and the camera button at the ready. Click. Click. Click. Things got really heavy at that moment and I left the room as quickly as I’d entered, shutting the door with a soft click. I rushed away from the scene, an evil glint in my eye and a wry smile on my lips. Yes. Mia Rinaldi would pay, and now I had the power to do it.
---------------------------------------------
“I’ll give them back as soon as I’m done, it won’t take long. I just need to double check something.” I said to the dorm matron who passed me the dorm key to Aaron’s room.
“Alright Belikov.” She replied. I nodded in thanks before making my way to his dorm room. The thick white envelope felt heavy in my hand. It held the picture of Mia and Jesse kissing in the rec room, I’d had it printed out and written the date on it with a little message; “Thought you should know what your girlfriend does behind closed doors.”
I checked for the sound of voices before I unlocked the door to Aaron’s room and put the envelope under his pillow. I was in and out again in under a minute and had the key returned seconds later. My revenge was complete, now all I had to do was watch it play out. Aaron would see the picture, break up with Mia-crushing her. She’d be so upset that she wouldn’t dare interfere with the girls for a while. And that meant Jesse would most likely come clean about the Blood whore rumours and everything would go back to normal. Well Mia, I thought to myself. If you play with fire, expect to get burnt.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ohhh, wonder whats going to happen next! Will Aaron believe the picture? I wonder how Mia will react... Vote and comment below to tell me your thoughts on this chapter. :D
