396Daphne Is The Next Victim

Nora

I watched Daphne come into my view, and instantly I was taken aback by her appearance. She looked oddly weak; her body was a strange shade of blue, and her eyes were bloodshot red. There was a wetness in them, and she kept hugging herself, making no sudden movements

Why haven’t you been picking up my calls?she complained to Nash, who looked around before getting up and grunting at her

Because I ended things with you, remember?He stepped closer to her and muttered under his breath. I could tell he was trying to be discreet and make sure no one around heard them talking. But there weren’t many people around anyway. Ever since the news of the death broke, everyone had retreated into their homes

Since there had been no weapon or decision made about what to do with the Weeping Guardians, staying inside their homes might have seemed like the only safe haven to them

Is it because of her? Because she’s back now? You were gone for monthsno calls, no textsand then you return to go and bring her back?she pointed at me, but kept one arm wrapped around her stomach. Even her voice didn’t carry the same threat it used to. She was shivering a lot, and her aura was off. I couldn’t help but lean back in my chair and clutch my hands in my lap, secretly twisting the ring on my finger to feel and sense her aura better

Right off the bat, I felt like passing out. It was radiating so much

sadness and darkness that I had to fix the ring on my finger immediately. Lowering my head, I started to breathe in and out to calm my racing heartbeat

It didn’t make any sense. Why was her aura so strong?. 

Yes, it is because of her,Nash confirmed, and I was back to listening to their conversation

Do you not remember what you and the other girls did to her? You fucking told her that you poisoned her. Why? Why did you play all these games with her when I told you that I was ready to date you?Nash grabbed her arm, and she winced hard, even though I could tell his grip was very gentle

The minute she let out a cry, he set her free and placed his hands on his waist. “This is what I’m talking about. You cannot live without negativity, Daphne. And yes, I broke up with you because I cannot be with someone like you.He stepped back and gestured for her to leave

Pleaseone last chance. I will treat her right.She looked over at me, her eyes filled with tears

I said leave, Daphne,Nash warned her through his harsh gaze, but I needed to have a word with her first. She noticed Nash was getting red with anger, so she nodded and had only turned around to leave when I interrupted her departure

Wait a minute.She quickly turned around with a weak smile on her lips

I knew you would feel pity for me,she uttered in a broken voice

Well, I wasn’t feeling anything for her, and I didn’t care about her

breakup. It just gave me a weird satisfaction

Have you come across the Weeping Guardians?I questioned and noticed her glance at Nash nervously before looking back at me

The fog people?I explained, and the way she shook her head was immediate

No! Why would I?She sounded defensive

Are you going to ask him to date me, please?She didn’t even bother with the topic, so I shook my head and folded my arms to show her that this was the least of my interest

I’m not his mommy. I cannot make him date or break up with someone.With a shrug, I dismissed her

She passed Nash one last sad glance before walking away to her car. But I stayed watching her, observing her. In fact, she hadn’t even driven here herself; her stepfather was in the driver’s seat with her

What was that?Nash questioned me

Why did you suddenly ask her about the Weeping Guardians?he continued

Have you noticed something different about her?I finally broke my stare once her car left and faced Nash

Yeah, whenever she is upset, she gets high fevers and everything. Don’t worry; she won’t die from it,he shrugged casually and sat down. I joined him, but I still had some questions in my mind

Did you not see any resemblance to Robert?Once I questioned

You think sheshe might have also crossed paths with them?he picked up, but we were still missing something

When I first saw the fog people, it was when I got bullied and was extremely upset. Robert was upset when he crossed paths with them, and Daphne-I didn’t finish because Nash did it himself

Because she is upset these days.”
