Victoria POV
"Phoebe was wrong." I whisper, not realizing I said it.
"Who's Phoebe?" The dark clad girl, Jade, asks me.
"No one." Katrina says, giving me a 'stop talking' look from the kitchen.
"Why don't you ever let her talk?" Jade says, standing up and walking towards Katrina.
"It doesn't concern you. Victoria, can I speak to you in private for a moment?" Katrina asks me, walking towards me, keeping an eye on Jade.
"Sure." I say, standing up and following her to a hallway.
"What did Phoebe say to make you think she was wrong?" Katrina asks me, concerned, in a quiet voice.
"She told me the first person I'd meet after getting my legs would help me. I think she was wrong." I tell her, looking into her eyes.
"When did she tell you this?"
"When I told her I accepted her deal, but I had to talk to you and make plans first." I tell her, looking down.
"Did she elaborate on what she meant by help?"
"No. All she said was 'The day you get your legs, you'll meet someone soon after. This person will aid you in you time as human.' before saying bye."
"Food's done!" Jade yells, scaring me.
"How nice of the great Jade West to let us know when our food is done." Katina tells Jade as we enter the living room.
"Tell me why Victoria can't say anything without you interrupting her, and I'll tell you why I didn't let the kitchen burn down." Jade says, looking between Katrina and I.
"Why is it so important to you?" I ask, curious. "You don't seem nice, yet you want me to speak freely. Why do you seem to want me to talk?"
"Because I'm curious as to why Trina cuts you off all the time. What are you two hiding?" Jade says from the kitchen.
"It's not my secret to tell. To find out, you must prove yourself to both Katrina and me." I tell her, sitting on one of the couches.
"And how would I 'prove myself' to the both of you?" She asks, sitting on the opposite couch.
"You have to prove that you won't be a threat to us and that we can trust you with our lives." Katrina says, sitting beside me.
"Why? What, are you in the mafia or something?" Jade says with a smirk.
"What's the mafia?" I ask Katrina.
"That's a no." Jade says before Katrina can answer. "Does anyone know about you?" She asks me.
"Just Katrina." I tell her. "And my parents." I add in when Katrina glances my way quickly.
"Why is that? Don't you have friends?" Jade asks, watching me.
"She doesn't get out much." Katrina supplies.
"Let her talk." Jade says, glaring at Katrina. "You sound like you don't trust her to speak for herself."
"I do trust her. I just don't trust you." Katrina says, standing up. "Jade, you need to leave."
"No. Your parents invited me." Jade says, smirking.
"My parents aren't here. I don't want you near Victoria right now." Katrina says, opening the door and heading towards Jade.
"Why not? Afraid of me?" Jade says, sitting still.
"I'm afraid of what you'll do to Victoria. Leave, before I literally throw you out. Now." Katrina says in a dark tone I've never heard her use before.
"No. What if Victoria wants me to stay?"
"Don't drag her into this."
I watch silently as Katrina and Jade go back and forth. After a while, I get tired of the negative feelings I get from them, and speak up.
"Stop it. You two are giving me a headache." I say, standing up and heading away from them. "Katrina, you know I won't say anything, so let it go. Jade, I appreciate you wanting me to speak, but it's not needed. Please, just stop yelling at each other."
"Fine. Do you want Jade to stay?" Katrina asks, walking away from Jade.
"Yes. I do." I tell her, not looking away from her.
"Fine. Jade, you can stay. But if you cause any problems, you're out." Katrina says, closing the door and walking past her into the kitchen.
"Good. I have a question before we eat though." Jade says, following us.
"What's that?" Katrina asks, watching Jade cautiously.
"What are you two? Really? I know you're not human."
Oh, look. Another cliffhanger. Please don't hurt me. Sorry it's shorter than the others. The next chapters will get longer.
Sorry for taking so long to post this.
Blessed Be.
