Chapter 11 GUILTY UNTIL I BLEED
Celestia's Pov
I tried to pull them aside to have this conversation more privately but they seemed bent on not doing it that way. Instead, they preferred being under the gaze of many curious eyes and listening ears as they continued to spout out more accusations.
"You are a traitor!" Priscilla echoed Dante's words."Do you think that you would have never been found out? Well, that's too bad we already have enough evidence,"
Both of them kept speaking so boldly of this so-called evidence all while trying to tarnish my reputation so I finally placed a hand on my hip and asked them for the evidence as they looked at each other awkwardly.
"We didn't bring it now but it is in my camp and I can provide it anytime that it is needed but we wanted to talk to you first to have you confess what you have been doing with your own lips before exposing you ourselves,"
I don't know whether to cry or scream. Both of them will be so ridiculous and they were not even hitting the nail on the head on what they were accusing me of.
Then when they finally spoke I thought that I was going to lose my mind.
"We found out that you have been secretly exchanging members of your camp to park wolves for they are 'entertainment'"
The implication of the awards hate me like a slap across the face and I almost retaliated physically but I held myself back because that would only work as cement to their ridiculous nonsense that was spewing out of their mouths.
"I did no such thing, I don't know where you got that idea but something like that never happened I would never hand over those of my camp to pack wolves,"
"Is that so?" Dante asked me his voice dripping with sarcasm, "Then tell me where you get all these things in your camp? Everything from torch lights, drugs, clothes, yours always look the newest the nicest, clearly you are making direct exchanges with those pack wolves aren't you?"
Suddenly it struck me what was happening right now. At least a part of the picture was being painted in my head. Whether the two in front of me were being manipulated or knew what they were doing I was not fully sure.
All I knew was that it had Raphael plastered over it.
He said he had the evidence to prove my exchanges with the pack wolves, I thought he would have taken it straight to the council of the moon but I suppose that he wanted to do this slowly first tarnishing my reputation probably doing everything he could to push me into a corner until I finally decided to take that horrible offer that he had given me a week ago.
He had waited just long enough for me to let down my guard and the moment he knew that I was even slightly relaxed he was back to it again, when will this man finally let me have peace?
My life remains a daily struggle from juggling the responsibilities of the camp to thinking of how one day I will be reunited with my son all of this is pressing on my shoulders and nearly pushing me down to my knees but yet I still managed to remain upright still he doesn't seem to be happy that I am getting by even if it in my own simple way that he looks down on
He is indeed so vile.
What could he possibly gain from making me come back? What does that woman want from me because he wouldn't be bringing me if she wasn't 10 toes behind it.
I grappled with all these thoughts while trying to argue some sense into the two leaders in front of me.
"I have already said this about it a dozen times but I am not handing my people over to pack wolves,"
Priscilla looked like she was about to jump on me.
"Then prove it! Prove that you're innocent!" She said heatedly.
I stared daggers at the two of them.
"Why don't both of you bring that so-called evidence that you have been running your mouth about for the past 30 minutes and prove that I'm guilty instead of going around in circles like this?"
Priscilla's eyes transformed into slits.
"Why do you want us to bring the evidence so badly? Is it so that you can destroy it? I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. That's never going to happen. If you want to see the evidence for yourself and disprove it then you can come to my camp but anything other than that and I will not show it to you,"
"Yes," Dante said like that was the most brilliant idea that he had ever heard in his entire life, "you will have to come to us if you want to see the evidence that we are talking about, and if you can disprove it we will come out in public and apologize for the confusion but you won't come will you?"
The tension in the air was so thick that you could even slide a butter knife right through.
I took a deep much much-needed breath.
If I was not allowed to have a moment of peace, I knew what I was about to say would definitely ruffle some feathers but there was already so much on my mind and this could not be an added load to my plate.
"I'm sorry Priscilla but I will not be coming,"
There was a vindictive look in her eyes.
"I know you are guilty aren't you?!"
