Separated by Our Fate | [COMPLETED]

Chapter 22 - Someone's Watching You

Third Person POV

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Jeremy asked Felix. The two men were in the King's office, discussing the previous events.

"I want to know what she's up to," Felix confirmed, "she's never acted like this before."

"That doesn't mean we should have someone follow her. Just keep her here and she won't do anything else, " Jeremy insisted, refusing to believe his niece was up to no good. He knew she was hiding something, but not anything terrible.

He had always been very fond of Olivia and her brothers, seeing as their father was his twin brother. Strangely though, it was Olivia who reminded him of his twin. She was strong, smart, independent and responsible- all things her father was.

"If we do that we'll never know. I'm not saying she's doing anything, but she's been acting differently lately. Don't tell me you haven't noticed?" The King said.

"Yes," Jeremy sighed, "I know what you mean. She's quite the bad liar."

"Then it's settled," Felix nodded, "we'll tell her her punishment is no longer and have a trusted guard follow her."

"Oh, and Jeremy?" Felix called out as his brother reached the door.

"Yes?" He turned around.

"Tell Luke. I want him to know everything."

Olivia POV

"Seriously?" Standing in Uncle Felix's office, it seemed that his anger had completely melted away.

"Yes. I talked it over with my brothers. We agreed that you were right- it wasn't your fault after all," he responds and I tilt my head.

"But yesterday you were so-"

"I panicked. I apologise for how I acted," he apologies, something which was rare. He's admitting he was wrong? That's a first.

"Th-thank you?" I say, though it comes out as more of a question.

"Go on," he dismisses me, "you're free to leave."

I scurry out of the room quickly before he changes his mind. I decided I'd go out to see Jess, who was probably worried since I hadn't spoken to her since the bombs. No one actually knew what happened with that whole situation, or at least no one told me.

They probably wouldn't anyway. And where's Luke? He's been out ever since I got back with our uncles. Is he avoiding me?

I walk into my room and slide the box from under my bed out and lift it onto a table. I have a look through until I find what I was looking for. A small, slightly wrinkled piece of paper.

Sorry about making you faint, pretty girl. Hope we can do it again, minus the fainting, of course.

I smiled, the note being the only physical reminder I had of my "secret boyfriend". I kept it very safe, and holding it felt comforting. I'm so creepy.

"Olivia?" I hear a knock on my door. I quickly shove the paper into my dress pocket and slide the box back underneath my bed.

"Yeah?" I say quickly, kicking the box farther with my feet before running to open the door.

"Hey," my twin smiled sadly, "can I come in?"

"Oh- uh, yeah," I say, surprised to see him.

"Is something wrong?" I ask him as he walks to the centre of my room and turns to face me.
