Silvery Touch

8. Education

Guys, I'm so happy it's scary! How can life be so bad one second and absolutely amazing the next? Should I tone down my happiness? I probably smile in my sleep, that's how happy I am. (Not that I sleep much, but then why should I? Reality is finally better than dreams lol). InshaAllah it continues but either way, I will face future challenges with a smile! Sorry, I always end up talking about irrelevant things that no one cares about. My deepest apologies *hangs head in shame*

Anyways, moving on as usual, the thank you will come next because you guys truly make me happy! You guys are too amazing for words. So glad y'all are enjoying the story so far.

Anyways, enough of my nonsense! Hope you all enjoy the chapter, although I must apologise for the lack of excitement. Please leave a comment of your thoughts and vote if you think it deserves it. It will be deeply appreciated.

Don't forget to smile, you lovely people!

Chapter Eight ~ Education

The day was almost coming to an end, the orange of the sky almost completely disappearing and Eva was still in a foul mood. She held the Crest tight, her knuckles completely white, as she attempted to push back the urge to use it.

"Why won't you tell me who it was?" She demanded through gritted teeth.

"Eva, I'll think of something." Pandora paced the room, left to right, in front of Eva. "We need him for now, that's why I'm not telling you. I know what you'd do if I tell you."

"Look, hadn't I promised not to use this?" Eva gestured towards the Crest, almost giving into the idea of exercising the button. She sighed in an attempt to calm herself down; she knew Pandora was needed.

"Do you think for one minute that I believe you? The Evil in you is embedded too deeply. You'll use it the second you know who it is, I just know it!" Pandora halted in front of her desk and leaned forward, her hands placed on the desk, as she spoke. She was careful not to look directly into her eyes.

"What? I'm evil?" Eva screeched. "Speaks the one who gave me the very thing that turned me evil and bailed the minute she could." She was yet to forgive Pandora for leaving her all those years back.

"For the hundredth time, Eva, I didn't ditch you." Pandora noticed she had peaked Eva's interest but this topic was something she couldn't elaborate on. "I'm not telling you what happened but it wasn't my fault I left. I really wanted to keep my promise and be by your side the whole way through."

Eva sat back in her chair, suddenly smirking.

"Pandora?" She suddenly changed the tone of her voice; it was almost angelic-like. This caught Pandora off guard and knew Eva would speak of something she didn't approve of.

"Yeah?" Her hiss shook a little. What have I created, this isn't the girl I met all those years ago, she thought to herself.

"What would happen if I use this on you?" She referred to the Crest.

"The Crest is the only thing that can kill my kind." Pandora raised an eyebrow, unable to predict Eva's next move. Surely she wouldn't use it on her?

Eva stood up, leaning forward and mimicked Pandora's stance. The only thing between them was the desk. She gazed directly into her eyes, but Pandora made sure to look at Eva's eyebrows to appear to look into hers too.

"And what is your kind?" Eva challenged, genuinely intrigued.

Pandora frowned since the conversation completely changed, nonetheless, she answered:
