Chapter 48 Playing two sides?
“Waw, what a ridiculous public display of affection”.
Rave heard someone speak behind her and Azrael immediately stood up, placing his hands together in front of him as he bowed without saying a single word.
Rave already knew exactly who it was, so she didn't even bother standing up at all.
She simply raised one side of her lips and kept looking forwards.
“You've become even more disrespectful from the last time I saw you”.
The woman said as she moved forwards and stood in front of Rave.
Rave raised her head and looked at her.
“Seeing you came all the way to see me yourself, you must be really scared… mother”.
She said and the woman smiled.
“Scared? Of who… you”?
She asked and Rave stood up, standing right in front of her and looking her right in the eyes.
“You might be my source, but you know you don't stand a chance… Lunaria”.
She said and Lunaria smiled in disbelief. It was the first time in a long time anyone beneath her had ever dared to call her by her name. She was usually referred to as the source but of course, if anyone was bold enough to call her by her name, it would definitely be Rave.
“Why? Are you surprised I called you by your name”?
She asked but Lunaria shook her head.
“Of course not, I was expecting it.
Why? Are you mad because I sent your sister a little gift”?
She asked and Rave looked at her a bit confused before it finally clicked.
“You… it was you who put the seal there”.
She said and Lunaria moved closer as the smile on her face vanished.
“What are you going to do about it”?
She asked and Rave returned the very same energy.
“I could just kill your precious Hazel”.
She said but Lunaria chuckled.
“You missed your chance my darling”.
She said, causing Rave to raise a brow.
“You should have killed her before she let her wolf out. It's going to be a very difficult task now”.
She said but Rave didn't look bothered about that at all.
“Well then, I guess I'll just have to find a way to kill her and get her lycan powers”.
She said but Lunaria shook her head.
“If you do that, you'll never find the golden orb”.
She said and Rave looked at her suspiciously.
“You know where it is, don't you"?
She asked but Lunaria didn't give her a response to her question.
“You know… you're more like me than Hazel. You're smart, determined, and more than ready to get rid of your obstacles.
That's exactly who I am”.
She said as she walked towards the window.
“Don't forget Cathy…”
“Don't call me that"!
She yelled and Lunaria smiled.
“I made you, I know you better than you know yourself”.
She said but Rave stayed silent as she watched Lunaria vanish.
Suddenly, Rave opened her eyes and she was back on the bed while Azrael was helping her clean her leg.
“You were gone for a while”.
He suddenly spoke, causing her to look at him.
“Did someone come to visit you”?
He asked and she sighed.
“Mother”
She said and he nodded.
“She seems to have put you back in the mood I struggled to get you out of”.
He said and she groaned.
“Ugh!!“
She said as her head flew back.
“She just had to call me Cathy and piss me off”.
Her real name is Rave, Cathy is the name her birth parents gave to her and she truly hates it with everything in her.
Azrael smiled lightly and she looked at him.
“Stop smiling, you have no idea just how much I hate that name".
She said but he shook his head.
“Of course I do, you hate it so much you had to kill your birth parents who gave you the name”.
He said still smiling and she rolled her eyes.
“Well, serves them right for giving me the most ridiculous name they could possibly come up with. They didn't even try at all”.
She said and Azrael shook his head.
“It's not such a bad name, you're just very hard to please and you wanted to kill them so much you used the name as an excuse”.
He said but she simply looked away.
“Think whatever you want.
I wonder why mother always makes you look like you're scared of her whenever she visits in a vision”.
She said and he smiled knowingly before he finally stood up.
“It's all done”.
He said and looked at her seriously.
“What did she say”?
He asked and she raised her head to look at him for a while before she stood up.
“Whatever happens, I can't let her or Hazel win. No matter what, I'll make them bow to me and beg me to spare them”.
She said and he nodded.
He knew she wasn't telling him what Lunaria said because she didn't want to or it wasn't so important so he didn't press about it.
After a while, he left and she was all alone.
“You just wait sister, I'll come for you and everything you've ever loved".
She said.
Hazel was also seated on her balcony, trying to think deep to the beginning of everything. She was trying hard to retrace her steps and see if she was missing anything but no matter how hard she tried, nothing was coming.
Soon, she heard a knock on the glass and when she turned, she saw Kael.
She smiled and he opened it to go and sit with her.
“What are you thinking about”?
He asked and she looked away, looking towards the woods.
“I'm trying to figure out what I missed”.
She said
“It'll come to you in time, you can't force it”.
He said and she nodded.
“I know that, but I can't sit and do nothing, knowing Rave is out there, plotting and preparing”.
She said.
“How about you call Cathy? She could help ease your mind”.
He said and she raised a brow.
“Kael…”
She called and he looked at her, wondering if he had said something wrong.
“Cathy… Rave and Cathy are the same”.
