The devil within

You're Dead Bitch

I stared down at my hand in shock, my palm flushing as the blood rose to meet the confinements of my skin.

What have I done.... She's going to make my life hell..

I raise my gaze from my flushed hand and look at her equally flushed face, rage covered every part of her face, I then realise Vivian had stood in a protective stance in front of me as if to shield me from something upcoming. I opened my mouth to tell her its no use but then I realised that Regina's eyes were glowing.

I could feel another presence lurking around but as I looked around I found I couldn't place it, wherever it was I could sense it was straining to get close.

My thoughts were broken by Vivian saying something I couldn't catch and then to my surprise Regina turned and left, the crowd parting as she retreated. That strange feeling is gone too.

The crowd parted and the unit that backed up Regina broke apart and the last of the strange feeling vanished
What was that? I pondered

What were you thinking?! Vivian says while throwing her hands around as she's shouting at me

"I-i.. I honestly don't know Viv" I said with a sigh.

"She just made me so angry and something snapped inside me I guess" I continued while looking at the floor in shame

Vivian sighed and took my hands in hers and said in a low voice "you could have gotten hurt, I can only protect you so much you know"

"I know and I'm sorry but -" I argued back

" but nothing Skylar! She could have done some serious damage and I'm not here to announce myself as a threat to her or her pa- family" Vivian argued back raising her voice again.

I could feel Vivian's frustration building up in my chest but there was something else I felt too... Panic maybe? Right when she said something about Regina, i tried to look in her eyes but she avoided looking at me. Something was definitely wrong and it annoyed me how she wouldn't tell me.

"Vivian... Tell Me" i said quietly as I tried once again to catch her eye

She looked away , yet again avoiding my gaze . Now i definitely know she's hiding something , i sighed in frustration and moved away from her

" fine if you won't tell me , I'll find out for myself " and with that i stormed off down the hallway leaving Vivian alone .

I could feel the anger boiling inside of me , the sense of betrayal
Hot under my skin . She was meant to be my other half , my demon . She's meant to trust me . I knew she'd just disappoint me like the rest , this is purely the reason i preferred being alone . People always disappointed you. When i had finally zoned back into my surroundings i realised i had made my way to the courtyard where i saw regina arguing with someone in a hushed voice but since i had bonded with vivian i could hear everything.
I moved back and hid behind one of the old columns that lined the courtyard

" that little freak knew ...she fucking knew " regina whisper yelled at the unknown person
"That's not possible and you know it , we would of sensed her . Your probably just overreacting because you got slapped " a deep voice replied with a chuckle

What were they talking about ? Sensed her ? Were they talking about vivian ? Her eyes were glowing though ...kinda like vivian's . Were they demons too ? All these unanswered questions that i desperately needed an answer to

"I need answers" i muttered to myself as i took a deep breath and took a step into the clearing
...closer to Regina
... closer to the answers
