She didn't know which was worse, falling to her death or being holsted up away from the ground without warning, in a speed that almost made her heart jump out of her mouth, feeling herself gently lowered to the ground. She wobbled to her bed trying to catch her breathe.
"are you okay?" Micheal asked looking concerned
"Yes I am I just need to catch my breathe"
"Did I startle you?" he asked
"a little...just a little" Emilia patted her chest finally relaxed "I'm fine i'll change into something different and a pair of shoes"
"Okay...i'll be waiting outside your door. let me know when you're finished" Micheal said walking out of the room.
Wait—the door was open this whole time, she assumed it was locked. Damien had chosen not to walk in. what game was he playing? was he teasing her when he threatened to kill her, Emilia furrowed her brows 'crazy vampire, to think i'll trust anything you say to me'
Looking through her closet she picked out a plain loose jeans and a tank top, struggling to decide if she should take a jacket. she finally settled on taking it, putting on a pair on sneakers she opened her room door to see micheal standing by the door waiting.
"Ready?" he turned to her
"Yes" Emilia nodded walking to his side
"do you want to walk or fly to get their faster" Micheal asked with a small smile, Emilia could see his eager eyes waiting for her to say yes but she has had enough of falling and flying for the day "I think its better we walk" she replied
"Alright. Let's walk". it didn't take long for them to reach the bonfire party, walking into the open space in the forest. the place was lit with open fire made with fire woods. People sat around eating, drinking, dancing...making out Emilia raised her brows at the couple making out at the corner of the party
"We're here...go have fun, I'll be watching from the side" Micheal said leaving her to go meet up with some people. Emilia watched his back walking away from her, she stood at the spot her eyes wondering through the party. What was she supposed to do here, she has never gone to any kind of party before.
Thinking of Camilla her eyes scanned the crowd hoping to find her. not noticing the pair of malicious eyes glaring at her by the corner.
she shouldn't have come. if she knew she'd feel out of place she should have just stayed in her room. Turning back to see complete darkness she settled on just sitting by the corner watching everyone have fun "just blend in with the crowd" she said to herself.
"Heyyyy....Emilia, you came" she heard Camilla calling out to her, seeing her with two other girls, angels. they stared at her for a second before walking away.
"What was that about" she asked looking at the place the girls stood. "Oh them?...just ignore them" Camilla said laughing nervously "you Changed your mind"
"Yeah...FOMO" Emilia laughed softly. "Oh i'm glad you could make it"
"Yeah thanks" Emilia said with a soft smile.
Camilla led her to a more quiet corner, closer to the bonfire. Farther from everyone else "are you enjoying the party so far?" Camilla asked, picking up a plastic cup from a guy passing by. "Here drink, it'll lighten the mood"
"thanks" taking the cup from Camilla, she brought it up to her lips "mmm its sweet"
"Yeah...its really sweet. the only problem with the drink is that a sip of it could get you really, drowsy..." Feeling her head start to spin, Emilia held her head with her left hand "what...what did you give me" Emilia said her words starting to slur
"oh its nothing serious, as long as you're not human. it'll just make you drowsy for a bit. You're a werewolf so its fine"
"w...why?" Emilia felt her world spinning. the cup fell from her hand spilling the rest of the liquid. Dropping her hands to her side she tried to push herself from her sitting position, she had to get away from this place. From her.
"i'm sorry Emilia...you just pissed off very bad people, they promised they won't kill you so please stay put"
Staggering to her feet, she struggled to push herself forward, feeling a bile forming in her stomach. "Just follow me, it'll be over soon" she heard Camilla say softly grabbing her hand. "let go of me...let...go" she tried pushing camilla away, a futile attempt.
Camilla pulled Emilia into the forest, going deeper and deeper. Soon they were deep enough that her whole vision blacked out, she could only hear her surrounding.
"did you bring her?" she hard a girl say. "Good, you're such a good angel. You can go"
"Huh...you want to stay and watch?...well you're welcome to if you can stand it...you angels are all softies. Wanting peace and unity" she mocked, making the other girls giggle
"Now..." She grabbed Emilia by her hair dragging her through the muddy ground "wolfless little bitch, you don't look so cocky now do you?"
Emilia held her hair trying to free herself from the girl's grip. Seeing this the girl held on tighter pulling her face towards her "I'm going to teach you your place" Emilia felt a sharp sting across her face, before she could register the pain of the first slap another one came across the other cheek.
Emilia's eye stung, fighting the tears threatening to fall from her eyes. She didn't know why they were beating her up. Feeling something rise up in her tummy, she held her mouth trying to hold it in, however, she failed miserably throwing up all over the girl in front of her. shocked and disgusted she felt the girl push her away making her fall to the ground.
"Urgh, disgusting she threw blood all over me"
Emilia laid on the floor writhing in pain, her guts felt like they were squeezing inside of her. "You little..."
"I wouldn't attempt that if i were you...." Stopping her assault, the girls looked up to see Damien sitting on a tree branch, grinning from ear to ear.
