Only If you swear...

Chapter Sixteen

"Huh," I muttered to myself. The book signified that soulmates, or the ones who bear the ring of passion, can see, or sometimes feel the others pain or problems. So, the most common mark of pain or problem is usually hunger or sadness. Generally among the emotions categories. But however, other problems can include Anger, physical pain, stress, fear, night terrors, PTSD, Mental disorders, physical illness, jealousy, etc. Interesting. I don't know how this could help Becca, but maybe I would need to know some of this in the future. I stood up and organised books. The book had previously noted that seeing it in person is much more obvious, and clear to see. Cass had left the scroll of the things we had to do in my room. I decided to double check everything, to make sure it had been done properly. That's when I noticed. It had another side. TWO SIDES. ARE YOU BLOODY JOKING? I looked at the back of the list, had our own father tricked us? Was I actually going to save Becca? I began to read the list, "Prove the 'ship to be unbroken. That is all for the deal of the Devil with his two daughters." Prove the ship to be unbroken? What does that mean? Why did ship have a ' symbol in front of it? Was it short for something? Oh! WAIT! SHIP! Maybe, relationship? Ohhhh god no. I'm too tired for this shit. Fix a relationship. Me, a fifteen-year-old. A fifteen-year-old who has NEVER had a relationship. WONDERFUL. This relationship, whatever it may be is doomed. I'm meant to fix it, it's so doomed. It's already sinking. Oh god. I walked down the corridor to see a parade of children from the ages of around two to seven. This in this place things have a way of creating the problems and then delivering the solutions straight away. Maybe it was hope or maybe it was fate. I felt immediately that the scroll had something to do with this situation.  Two older boys were standing in the middle of the gaggle of children, frantically yelling at the children to stop misbehaving. One of them, despite shouting, looked rather friendly and overall nice. The other looked slightly annoyed and was silently glaring at the other. I think this was them. When one of them looked at me, his eyes lit up with excitement, he called me over and said "Oh. My. God. Come over here, girl! I don't know why I even agreed to this!" I raised my eyebrows, in question, as he nodded at me. I walked down the stairs, and towards him, the boy next to him turned around and folded his arms defensively. Okay, wonderful. I do NOT want another copy of Ficreis.  Wait a second. I noticed that both boys were wearing the rings I had earlier read about, were they soulmates? Im more than positive than ever that it is them. I need to fix their relationship, so let's find out the issue. Okay, they are DEFINITELY re soulmates, seeing as how the other boy had defensively glared at me. Insecure loser. Is it bad that I WANT to annoy him? Well, I am the daughter of the Devil. May as well. Maybe it would help find out the issue with their relationship. It was obvious that I and he were related, we had the same nose and exact hair colour, so he was probably one of my millions of relatives, but the other clearly wasn't. He had tanned skin and pale colour of hair. So I guess all I need to do is say hello, and hug him. Judging by the fact that the other boy had crossed his arms, it suggests that he was annoyed. Whether it be by a previous argument, or by the many children he was surrounded by, or by me was unknown at the current time. I decided to put my plan into action. But I don't know his name. Oh well, It'll be fine. Time to be evil. Ha. "Darling, hi. How are you?" People use darling as a catchphrase, right? It did sound posh, but, he smiled and answered my question nevertheless, but I wasn't listening, I was watching the other boy, whether he was his husband or boyfriend I didn't know. It didn't matter. I would find out soon enough. What I wasn't expecting was for him to grab one of the children of off the floor, and run up the goddamn stairs. Well. Talk about a drama queen. "Oh, I- Um." The other boy started. I looked at him with sympathy in my eyes, and he began to speak again, "I-I have something to admit," As he began to continue, a very mad Cass ran into the room. It's about to go DOWN.
