I tried to stifle the sounds of my breathing, back pressed against the wall. I leaned slightly, just able to pick up the sound of voices on the other side of the door.
???: Why is she still here? I hate having the temptation around...
Who was speaking? Was that Francis? It was hard to tell through the thick oak door.
Ivan: She's the Chosen. She has to be.
Arthur: Her 'having' to be and actually being are two different things.
Ivan: I refuse to have someone worthless live in the same house as me.
Feliciano: Easy, Bella has it hard too, you know.
Alfred: It's simple: either she is, or she isn't.
They're talking about the Foretelling...
'The life changing moment, a meeting between vampire and human.'
Francis: What about you, Yao?
I stiffened at the mention of his name. He was in there too?
Yao: What about me?
Francis: Do you think she's the 'one'? Or a mistake?
Yao: Those are the only options, then?
Alfred: What's that supposed to mean?
Arthur: It means he doesn't know.
I never gave it much thought, what Yao thinks of me. Does he think I am, or does he see me as nothing but a waste of time?
Yao: Come out from hiding, _.
I jolted in place, the door opening, revealing me eavesdropping.
I couldn't say anything, couldn't think of an excuse. Wait, why should I be hiding? I should be in that meeting, too!
Yao's brown eyes narrowed, displeased at my thoughts or eavesdropping, I wasn't sure.
Reader: What are you all talking about?
Yao: Don't play games, _. It's clear you know.
Reader: Then why hide it?
Yao: I am not hiding anything.
He hissed.
Reader: Then answer the question.
Yao: What?
He asked incredulously.
Reader: Do you think I'm the so-called "chosen one"?
He frowned, muttering while roughly brushing past me.
Yao: You're a headache, that's what you are.
....
.......
A] Follow
B] Leave Him Be
I watched Yao walk down the hallway, rigid yet swift. I knew nothing good would come of asking more questions, yet couldn't quell the rising questions that demanded answers.
