The Rebel

Chapter Ten

After leaving the hotel we arrived at the Academy, letting me lead the way. The two werewolves guarding the gate outside let me through, but they were skeptical about the others. I know who I needed to see first; they are probably worried about me and might be angry with me. I go to the end of the hallway and turn left opening the main door to the council.

"Vi!" Ted and Mitchell yell when they look up; they run to me and we close each other in a group hug.

"We need to talk." I say, walking backwards as the others entered the room.

Their faces went from happy to angry, "What are those two doing here?" Ted asks, pointing at Alastor and Fred.

"They are with me." I respond, strongly; they give me a stricken look. "Fred is my brother along with Jake; Alastor is here because helped Jake." I explain quickly.

Fredrick and Jake walk beside me but they both push me back with their arm; I am behind them and their arm is still in front of me. "Violet, do you know how we said that somebody poisoned you, here, at the Academy?" Fredrick asks with a stern face; their focus is fixed on Ted and Mitchell, full of anger. 

"Yeah, why?" I ask trying to step forward, but their arm keeps me back.

"Ted and Mitchell are Beleth's brothers." Jake says, and I turn my gaze from my brothers to Ted and Mitchell, their face is full of hurt. "I'm pretty sure that with Beleth's mind he planned all this and had them poison you." 

This can't be true; they were my family since I was little. I reason in my head. "Violet, it was for the bed."

"So, it is true!" I yell, full of anger. "You almost got me killed!" I am furious and outraged; I can't stand the lies anymore. My whole body feels like fire but then my head begins to throb, and my torso feels like it is twisting. I fall to the ground on my back in pain.

"Violet," I hear Ted say but Fredrick pushes him back as he tries to step forward. "We do not work for Beleth we did the best for you. We put a blockage on those inner powers, but your anger will break it. We are sorry, we never meant this but just know that we love you." They both then disappear in a gray smoke.

My heart is in pain and I feel betrayed, tears fall down my face as Jake and Fredrick aide my side. "Violet, are you alright?" Jake asks as they help me sit up. The pain is still creeping through my body and I begin to shiver, but I manage a slow nod. I stand up, putting my hand on Jake's shoulder and the other hand on Fredrick's shoulder.

"I'm going to kill them." Fredrick grunts angrily. I want to protest but I also feel the same way. I am too weak and shocked to say anything.

"I know, I am too." Jake agreed. "Nicholas take her to her room, so she can cool down and get some rest." Nicholas nods as he comes to me, lifting me up by my waist and I put my arm around his shoulder.

"I'll come with you." Alastor says, full of jealousy.

"No, Nicholas knows where her room is, and we are going to gather everybody up in the great hall that Violet told me about." Fredrick orders and Alastor has a look of disappointment but then we all go out different ways.

As we walk down the hall I begin to feel better and remove my arm from his shoulder and slowly push his hand away from my waist. "How are you feeling?" He asks trying to catch up to me as I walk ahead.

"I'm fine." I respond slowly, regaining my voice.

Nicholas puts his hand on my shoulder stopping me, "No, you're not." He says with his concerning blue eyes. "It could get worse if you hold everything in."

"I know that. But I am too speechless about everything." I say exhaustedly, opening my door once we reached it.

"I didn't talk to anybody or talked about what happened to my family and it almost drove me insane. I am pretty sure with you being female and having demonic hormones than it will be worse." I begin to laugh with him joining in. "I like your smile and laugh, you should do it more." I blush a little and then smile but then go to my closet, pulling out a gray shirt and jeans.
