The Eclipse Mark

Chapter 15

"You good there? What happened?"

"Ugh, she packs a punch." Thanatos sits up straight and rubs the back of his head. "I think I pushed her buttons too much."

"You think?"

"Where is she?"

"We don't know, she just... left."

~{Chelsy}~

Shit shit shit shit. They hate me now, they fucking hate me now. They're never gonna let me follow them again. They're not my friends anymore, shit!

"Hey! Watch it!" I move past them and keep moving. I wasn't in the right state of mind, I just needed to be somewhere else. Somewhere alone.

Of course, that never happens.

"Please, I'll pay you! Just hide me somewhere!"  Someone tugs on my hand and stops me in my tracks.

"Leave me alone." I growl out.

"I'll pay you, just let me hide!" Her eyes looked full of fear. I didn't necessarily want to, but I supposed I should.

"Uh... fine. Come with me."

To be perfectly honest, I had no idea where we were going. I just stopped somewhere far away.

"So, what was that about? Someone chasing you?" She hands me a few jewels, which I tsk at

"Yeah, basically." She tucks a piece of hair behind her ear

"Why?" I cross my arms.

"Do you promise not to tell?" I falter before nodding. "I'm Princess Marilla."

I freeze. Out of everyone here, this was the last person I would ever want to see.

"You- you're what?"

"I said-"

"I know what you said! You need to go back, take your money!" I try to push the jewels back into her hands hut she refuses.

"No! I'm not going back, I don't want to be in that stupid castle anymore! Everyone in there hates me!" It was pretty clear that she was young, way too young to be on her own. If I left, who knew what would happen to her?

"I... I know the feeling. But, you're way too young to be here."

"No I'm not! I'm 7, I almost have my mark!" She huffs.

"Well, I'm 14. I have my mark. You really shouldn't be here."

"You're 14!? Can you show me your magic, please, please, please?" She tugs on my shoulder more.

"Princess. You need to go home. Your parents-"

"I don't see your parents! I don't get why I have to go and you don't have to." She crosses her arms and turns away from me,

"Well, your parents are worried about you. My parents haven't seen me in a year. Your parents love you unconditionally. My father doesn't care about me. You are a princess. Me? I don't matter."
