Searching Through The Shadows
Chapter Thirteen
The next day after Vaughn and I were done with work we decided to go to the diner for a sort of 'date'. "Chels, you ready?" Vaughn called for me. "Yeah. Be there in a second." I called back. I was so excited, "Arcane!" I shouted for him then whistled, only seconds later I heard the clacking of claws on the wood floor coming towards me and smiled, "Good boy." I said.
I reached out in front of me and felt his soft fur; I had the leash in one hand and with the other I searched around his back for the loop on his harness to attach it to. Once I found it I put the leash on him and walked out to the living room, counting my steps on the way. "Okay, I'm ready." I said. I heard Vaughn's boots start clicking ober towards me then I felt him hold my hand, "Let's go." he said. We walked out the door and made our way to the diner.
Sabrina's P.O.V.
I was sitting in a chair in my room staring out the window when I saw two people and a dog appear in my vision, it was Chelsea and Vaughn. I had never met Vaughn but I had asked about him from the villagers, they all said he was anti-social and stoic but from what I've seen whenever he's with Chelsea, he's not.
I envy her like no other, ever aince that first day they walked past my house playing with that dog I had wanted to talk to Vaughn. It was love at first sight.
I decided today was the day I would finally build up the courage and talk Vaughn so I got my coat, slipped on my shoes and ran out my bedroom and down the hall. "Father! I an going out for a bit!" I shouted to my dad, "Okay but be back before supper is ready, Sabrina." he said and with that I ran out the door, putting my coat on while I ran to the front gate.
When I got to the gate I slowly opened it, trying not to make a sound and peeked out from behind it. Vaughn was holding Chelsea's hand as they walked into the diner, my heart felt like it had dropped into my stomach, "Why is he holding her hand whenever she has that stupid mutt leading her around?" I was suddenly infuriated and stomped out of the gate to the diner.
I walked into the diner and put on my shy and nice girl act that I always used in front of the villagers. I looked around and spotted Chelsea and Vaughn sitting in the back corner table, they were both laughing about something. I was angry again and just glared at Chelsea, "Why is he so nice to you, huh? It's probably because your blind, stupid girl."
That's when I got an idea and smirked as I sat down at a table and waited for them to leave.
~Time Skip: After The Date~
I waited at the table and drank some tea so I wouldn't look suspicious. When I saw Vaughn and Chelsea walk out I started walking out as well with my head down acting like I wasn't paying attention. I glanced up and saw Vaugh ahead of me, I lowered my head again and walked a bit faster passing them but 'accidentally' bumping into Vaughn, I looked up at him. He's even more handsome up close." He had his eyebrows raised and looked at me with a confused expression, "I-I'm s-sorry." I said with my perfected fake stutter. "It's fine." he said, "Vaughn? Who's there?" Chelsea asked. "Oh, Ch-Chelsea. Hi, it's S-Sabrina." I said trying my best to keep a small smile on my face.
Chelsea smiled, "Oh! Hi, Sabrina it's been awhile, sorry I haven't come by to visit." she said. "Oh n-no, that's fine." I said to her as I noticed how close I was still standing to Vaughn, I backed up and blushed. "Well, Vaughn and I are done with our date so would you want to come back with us and hang out for a little while?" she asked, "This is going really well, good job Sabrina... wait date? They were on a date?! That little ahh! She can't have him, Vaughn is mine!" I composed myself before I yelled all thise things at her, "Y-Yes, I would l-like that. T-Thank you." I said.
Vaughn didn't look too happy about the whole idea but he kept his mouth shut. "Yay, I'm glad." Chelsea said. I walked over to stand beside Chelsea then we started walking to her house.
When we got to Chelsea's house I noticed Vaughn wasn't leaving. We walked into the house and took off our coats and shoes, "Mirabelle, Julia! Vaughn and I are home and we brought Sabrina too!" Chelsea yelled happily. "He lives here?" I clenched my fists as my anger boiled up inside me.
"Sabrina let's go." Chelsea said as she held up her arm, I reluctantly linked my arm with mine and we started walking towards the hall. "Bye bye, Vaughn!" she called behind us, giggling. "Ugh, I hate this girl..."
We walked down the hall and into a room I'm assuming is Chelsea's bedroom, "This is Julia and I's bedroom." she said. I looked at her confused, "H-How did you know how t-to get here?" I asked curiously. She giggled, "I have counted how many steps it takes to get to places in house and memorized when to turn. From the front door to here it takes 32 steps." she told me, "Oh, t-that's very s-smart." I said.
"Time to start the rest of my plan." She led me over to her bed and unhooked the mutt before sitting down. I sat down beside her, "N-Not to be mean o-or anything j-just making a s-statement but V-Vaughn didn't look to h-happy on y-your date." I said. I looked over at her, her smile had faded and her brows were furrowed, "What do you mean?" she asked. "W-Well he just s-seemed to not be h-having fun. L-Like he d-didn't want t-to be there." I said. She frowned and her head dropped then just hung there, "Now for the final blow." I smirked.
"Almost seemed l-like he was only there b-because he pities you."
