Wicked Secrets

Chapter 13

It was a bit groggy when Corine stirred, it was still night and she could hear raised voices. From the sounds, it was Dean and Riddle and she could hear Riddle shouting "Just stay away from her!" from Riddle and Dean shouting "She's not yours! What did you want me to do?!"

"For starters, you didn't have to carry her like that!" again Riddle's voice and "Why do you care?" from Dean. Then, a thud! and  someone saying "You want to play rough, do you?" Where had she heard that before? She didn't know but right now, she could hear a commotion and the sound of men trying to break it up. But still in a drunk state, Corine went down and didn't remember it.

The next morning, she woke up to smell something delicious afterwards. She sat up but then instantly regretted it after she got dizzy. a hangover as other people call. After trying to get over with this hangover, she went out to find roasted deer.

"Woah!" exclaimed Corine. "How did you get this?".

"Hunting," replied Stealth,eating a huge chunk of deer, "Come on, eat,".

Corine sat down next to Riddle to eat the deer, surprisingly, it tasted delicious!

"How are you?" asked Riddle.

"Fine," said Corine, then she had a proper look at Riddle and gasped. He looked terrible! Riddle had a broken nose, bruises all over and a black eye, his hair was all ruffled up like he was in a brawl with someone. "Who did you fight with?" asked Corine.

Riddle got a bit awkward and said "You don't need to know,".

Corine narrowed her eyes. "I don't need to know? At least tell me why!".

"Well," Riddle still looked uncomfortable, ", it was a disagreement. That's all you need to know,".

Corine wanted to push it but Riddle looked moody and if she pushed a button, she's gonna get it. So instead, she asked "What happened last night? I didn't remember much,".

"Well, you passed out and Dean carried you here," Riddle answered.

"How?" asked Corine, wondering how Dean carried her.

"You don't want to know," answered Riddle and knowing that tone, Corine immediately dropped it.

"By the way," started Corine, ", how did I pass out?".

"You were drunk, that's what Dean said," answered Riddle and Corine, finished with her deer, stood up.

"Hey, where are you going?" asked Riddle.

"To find Dean," answered Corine.

"Why?" asked Riddle, hearing the disgust he definitely didn't bother to hide.

"To know what I did when I was drunk," answered Corine and she was off to her search.

Riddle sighed as he was taking second helpings of deer as he remembered the argument after they all saw Dean carrying Corine last night.

(Riddle's flashback)

Last night...

Dean was carrying her, unconscious, her lips wet and drunk. She was holding a bottle of rum and even in this state, she still look pretty as a star. But I became angry to see who held her in his arms. Jealously was spitting into my heart like pure acid, corroding it into a shriveled up, black dry fruit collapsing and breaking apart. I could not tell you about why I had this feeling but I just do! Anyway, I stood up and wanted to say something but Dean put a finger up his finger and then pointed to Corine. With that, I stayed silent for a while.

After he put Corine back to bed, a heated argument struck.

"What happened to her?!" I asked.
