Chapter 7: Chapter 7

Eliana's Point of View

"Go, Eliana. You got this, girl." Ashley said from the bleachers. We were still playing dodgeball. Ashley had gotten hit earlier and was out of the game. There were five people on our team and five on the other. Killian, James, and two other werewolves were still on our team. One was a girl, and the other was a guy.

I knew they were all shocked that I was still in the game. Everyone on the other team kept trying to hit me with the ball, but I was quick. I had caught some of just dodging the ball.

Someone on the other team threw the ball at me, but I moved out of the way quickly. "Fuck," the female on our team screamed as she got hit with a ball. A while after that, the guy had gotten hit. Killian and James were throwing the balls and getting the other team's members out. Soon, only one person was left on their team.

"Stay behind us," Killian said and I looked at him

"Not going to happen," I said. I looked up and saw the guy on the other team had thrown the ball, and it was coming right at me. I had noticed too late and didn't have time to move. I was shocked when Killian got in front of me and caught the ball before it hit me. He looked very upset and threw the ball back at him hard. So hard that the guy fell to the ground. I looked at him with shock that he did that. He didn't even pay attention when Ashley got hit earlier.

"Killian's team wins," the coach said and everyone cheered. Killian seemed not to care. He was still glaring at the guy. We played a few more games until it was almost time for class to end. Sometimes I would see Killian glare at the boy who almost hit me with the dodgeball. I made sure I paid better attention the other games to make sure that I didn't get caught off guard again.

"Class is almost over. You can change out of your uniform and talk amongst yourselves until the bell rings," the coach said and we all went to the locker rooms to change.

"You are so good at dodgeball, Eliana. I wish I was but as you can see I'm not. It's a good thing Killian caught that ball before it had hit you. He would have done that for me too but I was in the back and he didn't see it when I had gotten hit," Ashley said

"I am sure he would have," I replied. I was still confused about his actions. The entire game it seemed he was watching to make sure no one hit me. There were a few times I had almost gotten hit, but he came out of nowhere and caught the balls for me. It was strange. It had to be because I wouldn't hide in the back while everyone played. That wasn't the kind of thing I would do. I loved participating in PE.

Once we finished changing, Ashley and I headed back to the gym. When we walked out I could hear yelling in the boys locker room

"I am sorry, man. I didn't mean to hurt her," I heard someone say

"Didn't mean to hurt her. If you had hit her with that ball it could have really harmed her. You are so lucky I was there to catch it," I heard Killian say.

Hey, calm down," I heard another guy say after hearing something that sounded like a punch. I wondered what was going on. It was obvious Killian was arguing with someone and it sounded like someone had gotten hit. I knew by what I had just heard that he was upset at the guy because he had almost hit me very hard. The coach started walking Ashley and me. "Go ahead and sit down girls," he said before he walked into the boys' locker room

"I wonder what's wrong with him. He doesn't normally get into it with people," Ashley said. About ten minutes later, the guys came out of the locker room. I noticed the guy who almost hit me's eye was black. I knew Killian was the one who hit him. What I didn't know was why.

Killian and James walked over to the bleachers and sat behind Ashley and me. "You okay?" Ashley asked

"I am fine," Killian said.

"Killian, you were amazing today in class," One of the females said but Killian ignored her. He didn't seem to be in the mood to talk to anyone. Once class was over, everyone left.

"I need to go to the office to do something really quickly. Our next class is in there," Ashley said

"Okay," I replied, and Ashley left. I decided to go outside for a while since we had ten minutes until class started. I needed to get some fresh air. I had so much on my mind.

"You don't seem like the type to skip, Violet." I turned to see Killian standing behind me.

"I am not skipping. I just needed some air, and my name is not Violet," I said

"I know, but it suits you," Killian replied

"Why, because of my unusual eyes and hair?" I asked

"Yep," Killian replied. We both stared at each other for a moment without speaking.

"Why did you hit that guy today in gym?" I asked

"Because he could have really harmed you," Killian said

"I don't need you to protect me," I said

"You know, I saved you today. You would think that you would be a little more grateful," Killian said

"I didn't ask you to save me. But thank you. I know if that ball would have hit me, it would have caused serious damage," I said

"I just did what was right. I would have done it for anyone," Killian said

"Hey Eliana," Lilian said as she walked over to where Killian and I were standing

"Hey," I said

"Hi, Prince Killian," Lilian said

"Just call me Killian," Killian said

"It's time for class. I will talk to you later, Lilian. I don't want to be late," I said. I was about to turn and walk away but she spoke

"Wait! I was wondering if you asked him what we talked about earlier," Lilian said quietly

"I haven't had the time to yet," I whispered back

"Asked me what?" Killian said

"Nothing," I said

"I was wondering if I could stay in your dorm so that I can spend time with my sister," Lilian said at the same time

"Lilian," I replied. I knew there was no way he would say yes

"Yes," I looked at him, shocked

"What did you say?" I asked

"I said yes. She is your sister, and you two should spend time together," Killian replied, and Lilian squealed

"Thank you so much," Lilian said

"Yeah, whatever?" Killian replied and he walked away without another word.
