Here's chapter 10 and I hope you guys like it because I won't be updating for a while because I'm messed up right now due to something that I am forbidden completely from talking about. I will start updating again as soon as I feel like I can continue on this story but for right now I'm going to be working on a new story of mine so yeah... Please review if you wish but I'm not making it mandatory for this chapter since there won't be updates for a while...
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Sara's P.O.V.
I'm still sleeping when I hear Feng's bedroom door open and close. I wonder what she's doing up this early but I don't really worry about it as I fall asleep again; she'll tell me if she wants me to know and if not then it's really none of my business. I just hope that Isaac isn't up to make her life miserable like he's been trying to since she got here. It's nice to have someone my age and gender that actually likes me for me and knows me better than most people. I bet Isaac and David would like her too if they'd just give her a chance but since when do they listen to reason?
When I wake up again I call a servant to fetch our morning tea and snacks and I take a nice long bath. I love just lying in the pool sized tub of warm and bubbly water and just let it wash everything away. Feng doesn't like the big bathtubs because they remind her too much of this time when one of her classmates pushed her into the deep end of the pool where they'd gone for a class field trip and she nearly drown. She hadn't learned how to swim yet.
She's been traumatized ever since though she doesn't really let people know that. She barely even told me about it when I tried to coerce her into going to the big pool in the back yard with me. She climbed a tree and stayed in it the whole time and refused to come down until I stopped trying to get her to come to the pool with me – David now calls her a scaredy cat because of it and she doesn't say anything about it but I know it hurts her. Feng really does want to be accepted by our family I think, even if she's afraid to admit it to anyone least of all herself.
After my bath I get dressed in one of the pretty pink dresses that Feng said I looked nice in. She actually has a pretty good sense of fashion for a tomboy who hates clothes. Now if only I could get her into that pretty autumn colored sundress that looks amazing on her then maybe I could rectify her fear of wearing dresses. I think that also comes from childhood bullying. Maybe if I got her in the dress then Dante would fall for her and Isaac and David would see that maybe she isn't all that bad. I know, however, that it's a futile hope.
So I wait in my sitting room for Feng and time ticks by. Eventually it's a half hour after our usual meeting time and I'm about to call a servant to take the stuff away when she bursts into the room and slams the door behind her. I can see she's breathing hard and her temper has flared its ugly head. Something has definitely happened and I want to know what it is.
Feng crosses the study and sits in the cushy chair opposite me and chugs her tea like there's no tomorrow and stuffs on of the lemon cakes in her mouth before chugging some more tea.
"What happened?" I ask, hoping that she'd actually tell me. She starts cursing and talking incoherently though I do make out that it's about Dante. He better not have ruined my plan to get them together because they look so cute together and I think they'd make a great couple and I can see that he's interested in her. Pus this is DANTE we're talking about! The guy's never taken interest to a girl in his life! Yeah, he sleeps around a lot but he's never actually had a relationship with any of them.
"Slow down, have some more tea, calm down," I start instructing her so that I can get some actual words out of here mouth.
"He stalked me into the catacombs and tunnels," she finally manages to tell me. From there explodes the whole story whether I wanted to hear it or not but personally I found it interesting. Who knew that Dante could wield knives or that Feng had a fetish for them. Now I know what to get her for her birthday that's coming up soon: a whole bunch of knives and weapons and maybe some martial arts lessons from Dante. Yeah, she'll like that – though probably not the Dante part at this point… I'll have to work on that.
"Are you even listening to me?" I hear her say in a flat voice and my head snaps up. "I'll take that as a no."
"I was listening," I pipe up trying to defend myself. "But then I kind of started thinking-"
"A very dangerous past time."
"And well, I kinda got sucked into my own universe."
"Figured, so now can we get to the part where we think up plans of revenge against that evil bastard?"
"Now why would we do that? It seems to me you took his pretty little knife which should be revenge enough," I say innocently. Yup she completely forgot that she'd taken his knife…
"But he tricked me into showing him the way out and he now knows the way into my hideouts!" she says, her voice getting higher in volume. "It took me forever to find them the hard way and he just has to follow me in order to find them; it's no fucking fair!"
"Language," I remind her. "You'd think I was the older one, shesh."
She humph's at me and takes another lemon cake – she really loves thinks that have lemon in them, especially if they're sweet – and shoves it in her mouth. She starts muttering around the mouth full of cake.
"You could always borrow some pink hair dye and dye his hair pink in the middle of the night," I suggest. The look on her face tells me that that's out of the picture. "Then go look for his diary or his journal and find some blackmail material, if that's how you're gonna be!"
Uh-oh, I don't like that look in her eyes...
Thank you for reading and again I won't be uploading for a while (I'll tell you guys once I'm allowed to and all of this has passed if I can but no guarentees). Reviews for this chapter are appreciated but again not necissary. Sorry for any mistakes.
