02. Attack of the walnuts
"Elise!"
I whirl around, my pin straight hair follows the
movement. My eyes meet familiar blue ones.
"Shuss!" I mock-glare at my best friend "I'm doing
something important!"
His lips tug upwards in the usual crooked grin and he
simply leans against the wall, watching me as I
achieve greatness.
Right, I take the catapult, grab a big walnut and take
aim. One, two, three...
Snap!
A banshee like scream meets my ears and I quickly
duck behind the wall, chocking on giggles.
"Who did this?" A shrill voice demands "Who did this?!"
A familiar deep chuckle reaches me from my side.
"What are you? A six year old?" He asks, his eyes
shining with amusement
"Just because I'm 19 doesn't mean I can't have fun." I
grin at him "you wanna try?"
He considers it for a moment "Why the hell not?"
I give him a walnut and the catapult, we exchange a
serious nod like the ones best friends do before
stealing ice cream from the fridge.
He takes aim, pulls the rubber back andー
Snap!
"I'm going to kill you when I find you!"
Unable to hold myself back, I stumble away, clasping
my hands on my mouth. Only when I'm out of ear
shot, laughter bubbles past my lips and I can almost
feel my face becoming red.
Another laugh combines with mine and I realize I'm
not the only one who ran.
"Goddess, you didn't see her face!" He says
"Oh don't worry, we always have next time." I say
grinning
"Carlos!"
Both of us jump at the stern voice, soon enough a tall
man with pale blond hair and grey eyes comes in my
view.
"Beta Drake," I and Carlos bow our heads
Beta looks at me for a second, his eyes holding the
usual glint of disdain, then turns to my bestie.
"What are you doing here?" He demands "all the pack
warriors are supposed to be training right now."
"The training ended not five minutes ago, Beta." Carlos
says, jumping to his serious voice "in fact, I was just
her to tell the Omega to clean the weapons."
Beta turns his harsh face to me again.
"Then stop standing here like an idiot and get to it!" He
barks
I stare back into his grey eyes defyingly. My muscles
itch to bend my neck and submit, my eyes prickle with
the effort of looking into his powerful ones but I've
practiced this for ages.
"Of course, Beta." I finally say and turn around to get
as far from him as possible.
Like father like daughter.
But it's not really Beta's fault. You see, ever since he
found out that Darcie─ his daughter, is a nut job, he's
been one himself. And what a pity I've never known
him before his condition. Don't forget to leave a Comment
