(Harley's POV)
A few days passed by and every day, after school, I went to the hospital to visit my sister with Deuce. It was sweet how much he really cared for her. I was practically waiting for the day her tells her he loves her. Also, it wasn't that hard to look into Harriet's eyes and see she felt the same for him. Even after I told him if he ever broke her heart that I'd kick his ass, their bond never wavered.
"So, what are they saying about me in school?" she asked one day as we ate lunch in her room.
"I told them a car hit you and you had amnesia so you couldn't come back for a while."
"Isn't that a little…much?" she asked.
"Hey, it worked and that was good enough for me." I shrugged.
It was quiet for a moment until she said, "So, how are you and Clawd doing?"
I sighed, remembering all that's happened. Turns out, Clawd was dating Draculaura before he met me. He cheated on her to be with me. She and Clawdeen didn't exactly take it lightly. Whenever they saw me, one of them always looked like she was about to cry while the other wanted to rip my throat out. My relationship with Clawd had it's imperfections but we still loved each other no matter what.
"We're doing great, what about you and Deuce?" I asked, masking my feelings.
She sighed back, "Harls, I have something to tell you…"
"What's on your mind, Harri?"
Hesitating, she continued, "The day before you…found me, Clawdeen slapped me. She thought I was you when she found out about you and Clawd. Toralei told me that unless if I did everything she said, she'd tell the whole school about you two. She started…hurting me when I said I wouldn't do her homework. I knew that she wouldn't let me go so…I had to let go. I'm sorry, Harley, everywhere I go, I meet people like her and they do everything to make me miserable." Tears started trickling from her eyes as her shoulders quivered.
I was horrified at what's happened to her as she slowly pulled up her gown to show scars all over her legs as well as her stomach. My sister…my other half…was being tortured and she turned towards suicide instead of telling me about this. Fury burned in my throat as I felt like ripping Toralei's head off as painfully as I could. Pushing her lunch table away, I wrapped my arms around her. As she cried onto my shoulder, only one thought could process through my mind.
Toralei Stripe will pay for what she's done.
The next day I went to school, the first thing I did was search for a certain Werecat. She was at her locker, without her two followers. She locked at me with a smirk, thinking I was Harriet. Oh, how wrong she was…
"Hello, rabbit, how's my homework been going?" she placed a hand on her hip.
"Hey, I've got news for you; I'm Harley, Harriet's in the hospital. Don't you remember? You are the one you put her there" I hissed.
"What are you talking about? I've done nothing to that girl."
My hand rose, striking down across her face, knocking her back. Her feline eyes glared up at me, lunging back up at her feet to attack me but I easily slammed her in to the lockers. As my fist was thrown into her left eye, her claws scratched at my arms and right cheek. She hissed in pain as I growled in anger, refusing to show any pain at all. Gripping her wrists, I pulled them down with my knee launching up into her stomach. She hollered in agony with a cringe. Her arms wrapped around her abdomen as she curled, landing hard on her side when she sank to the floor. Clawd, had seen the struggle, put me in a full Nelson to hold me back from kicking her.
"You bitch; she fucking slit her wrists because of you! She fucking tried to kill herself and it's all your fault!" I screeched in pure rage.
The werecat was helped off the ground and into the nurse's office while I was sent to the Headless Head Mistress's office. Clawd practically dragged me in there while I was screaming swears and threats towards Toralei even if she couldn't hear me. Sure, I was suspended for a few weeks and giving about 13 detentions for when I come back but it was all worth it. Thankfully, the Headless Head Mistress understood my reason to be angry and decided against expelling me. Toralei was suspended for a month as a warning for bullying my sister. At least now, she'd know to never mess with Harriet unless she wants to piss me off again but next time…
…nothing's going to hold me back from my true intentions.
Well, that was interesting…
