Sudden Confusion:Chapter 16
"Rayvn, you've your first job as a Hunter in Crimson," Jaguar said, tossing a folder on the table where she stood by, "You're to be known as Azure Mirage."
Rayvn looked slowly up. "Your doing?"
Jaguar seemed caught off-gaurd. "Yes, I-"
"Leave me be, Jaguar." Rayvn whispered, quickly leaving the room through the exit behind her.
Jaguar was shocked, but he did not follow her. He suspected this was Raylet's doing.
"I did nothing, now leave me to look for my meal!" Raylet snapped angrily, and Jaguar pushed away.
"Raylet, tell me what you told Rayvn. Surely you can not fear me-"
"I do not fear you!" Raylet interuptted snappily, "I only told her of Salusl's. I told her what she was getting herself into."
Immediately, Jaguar vanished.
"Rayvn, all is fine?" He asked gently, and she jumped slightly, nodding, though she did not turn from her spot where he had watched her read a large book, her slim, pale neck leaning over the pages to strain at the words, for almost ten straight minutes now.
"Then why do you read so stiffly now that you realize I am present?" Jaguar pressed, and Rayvn shook her head, swallowing slowly and pushing her hair back from her face.
She had been crying.
"Rayvn, what is wrong?" Jaguar asked fervently, moving swiftly to her side.
Rayvn simply shook her head, turning away as her hands clenched the edge of the black books binding, her knuckles turning white as a single tear cascaded down her pale cheek.
"Rayvn, please! I have spoke to Raylet, and he has said he told you of Salus's story, but I do not see why you should cry." Jaguar whispered gently.
Still, she only shook her head determendly, and he sighed, taking hold of her chin and pulling it so she was forced to look him in the eyes. He saw only a glance fo her green eyes broght and dark with pain, misted with tears, before she quickly closed her eyes, sobbing as he pulled her into her arms.
"Hush, Rayvn, it is all right," Jaguar found himself murmuring, though he was currently occupied with inner-turmoil.
If she did not fight his embrace, then was she truly mad at him? Besides, it was odd of her not to fight him anyway.
Presently, her tears slowled and she pulled back, whiping her now red eyes with the back of her hand and looking away.
"Rayvn," Jaguar tried once more, "What is wrong?"
This time Rayvn looked at him, but she agian did not answer, though she pulled her self back into his arms as she began to weep softly once more.
"You lied, Jaguar!" Rayvn hissed, and Jaguar pulled back, surprised she had ffinally answered him.
"I did what...?" He stumbled slowly, and she move closer to him surprisingly, laying her head on his chest tiredly.
"You lied to me, Jaguar," She whispered, "But do not talk of that now, and hold me. My head hurts." Rayvn snapped, and though Jaguar lifted a brow defiantly, he complied more willingly.
"Rayvn, you've your first job as a Hunter in Crimson," Jaguar said, tossing a folder on the table where she stood by, "You're to be known as Azure Mirage."
