Dimitri

"Wait, I am so confused right now," Damien said as he stopped right after we stepped out of the creepy cemetery. I was glad I wasn't the only one seeing things. But how could I have not seen it all along. I spent so much time with her that I should have known. But she smelt human, she acted like a human as well. Besides witches also avoided human civilization. But clearly she didn't. On the upside at least I knew exactly where to find her. Well, that is if she hadn't left. I hope she didn't leave. I no longer had the patience to wait. I needed my palace back soon.

"But that is Rebecca," Damien voiced out again when he realized I wasn't going to respond to him. I looked to Damien and for once I could read emotion on his face. His eyebrows were knitted together in confusion. I couldn't help but laugh as he worked it out.

Then after sometime he voiced an, "Ahhhhh I get it." He now had on a huge smile as he turned to face me again, "Well this is good right?" he asked. Then I realized that Damien and I still had quite a bit to hash out. I also didn't tell him about what happened with Rebecca. On the plus side we had quite a walk before we got back home.

At least we were now out of the creepy cemetery. That place just gave me shivers. But now it was time to face the music. I had to tell Damien because there was a huge chance Rebecca/Zhurhuri was going to want to help us.

"I don't know how keen she would be to help us out," I voiced out. I wasn't sure how to tell Damien what happened. I think it is partially because he always said I liked Rebecca. But it turned out that she was the one who liked me. I guess now that I think about it, I had no idea why I never told him. I think I was embarrassed. But I have no idea why. So, I decided to rather just jump right in and tell him before I changed my mind.

"The day I told Rebecca of my plan to go visit the lower kingdoms, she sort of...mmmh how do I put this? Rebecca confessed to having feelings for me. When I didn't respond immediately to her statement, she kind of stormed off. We haven't spoken since that day. So, I don't know if she will want to help us," I finished off finally letting go of a breath I didn't even know I had kept in all along.

I should also tell Damien about how Rebecca hates father. Oh, this was not going to work at all. We needed to find another witch. Maybe Yanniah, her cousin could help us. The girl could read minds. Surely she was powerful too. I was about to tell Damien why Rebecca also hated father when I heard Damien laugh. I thought I had imagined it but Damien was actually laughing. When I say laugh, I mean a full blown laugh where he clutched his stomach. He then looked up to me and went back to laughing again.

Somehow after sometime I became annoyed that he found this situation funny. After he calmed from his laughing fit, he proceeded to place an arm on my shoulder and said, "You remember the story I told about loving a girl..." He then seemed to realise what he was saying and suddenly dropped his hand as if my shoulder was larva. In an instant he had his guard back up again.

I then decided I might as well get this over with so I spoke up and said, "It is fine Damien. If you love my sister then so be it. She loves you and there is no way I would want to stand in between my best friend and my sister's happiness," I said. It was true though. I wanted them both to be happy.

Damien seemed to have relaxed a tiny bit after my speech and thus continued talking, "You are me and it seems Rebecca or well, Zhurhri is Ellie." I was utterly confused by his statement and it seemed that I showed it on my face because, he then went on to explain himself, "Ellie likes me she says, Damien I like you. I am in denial because well, she is your sister. Then I later realise that I do like her. Rebecca likes you. Rebecca tells you that she likes you. You are distracted by the fact that you have an actual mate who doesn't deserve you might I add. All I am saying is just don't wait until she is dead to realise that you truly love her," he finished off and started walking again.

"I do not love her!" I argued and then followed him.

I couldn't help but worry. Damien knew me well. He was right about his predictions of me most of the time. But I did not like Rebecca. I would know if I did. I love my mate. With her, I feel alive. Rebecca was just a female friend.

"She lied about who she was," I said after a while breaking the silence between us. So, Rebecca was actually Zhurhuri. I also couldn't blame her for lying. It made sense. Besides, I was carrying my own secrets as well. So Rebecca was a mixed breed. Thus no one could know about her existence. Yet somehow knowing all this, I still felt betrayed. Was anything she told me true? I guess I had to pay her a visit soon.

"So I am guessing we are heading back to the human settlement then. And for your sake, I hope you have a plan to win her over," Damien said still walking ahead of me.

Then he vanished. And so did I. After all I needed to get home fast now that I had another trip to make.

I had no idea how I was going to get Rebecca to help us. For all I know she probably hates me? Not to mention she already hates my father.
