Chapter 48 SISTERHOOD BUILT ON KNIVES
Medea's POV
I had already texted Eclipse that I was going to be here in less than 15 minutes, why the heck wasn't she answering the door yet?
I gave her sturdy door another series of knocks until finally she seemed to stir from within and the door went a few inches back.
"Who's there?" An unfamiliar male voice drawled out, Must be another one of Eclipse's little boy toys. She changes them around like clothes, maybe I should have a talk with her about settling down and finding a mate. This is getting annoying.
"Open the door, I'm here to see my sister," I snapped at the male stranger who stood as a physical barrier between me and the door, I had just about half the mind to hit it with all the force in my body and see it slamming into that stupid face of his, that was when I heard my sister's voice coming off like background noise until she came closer.
"Derek it's my sister, just go to the bedroom we won't be talking for long,"
I was seeing within myself when she said that we had both agreed yesterday that we had a monumental problem that had to be taken care of and after acting like she had my back now she was treating me like an unwanted guest that she had to cater to only because of polite courtesy and nothing else.
Sometimes I really wonder what caused the rift between my sister and me.
It was always the two of us against the world, maybe this is what we looked like when we were not fighting the world instead we were fighting each other.
By the time I entered her living room, I did not see any sight of the Derek she had been talking to earlier, good for him because with the kind of mood I was in right now I might have just slapped him right across the face just to let out some of my steaming anger.
I threw my purse on her soft but firm couch and then myself next.
"Everything is falling apart Eclipse. How do you still have time for those gigolos of yours?"
She gave me a knowing patronizing smile, "They will always be time for the gigolos," she said it as if she was in parting some kind of deep philosophical message, then she remains standing as if a software way of telling me that my visit was not supposed to be prolonged but I was going to stay for us long as I needed to vent and come up with a solid solution.
"Eclipse... Why don't you send that boy of yours out of the house altogether? I don't feel comfortable with us having all these conversations and he could just be an ear short way,"
Of course one of my sister's bed warmers would be the least reliable witness for anyone but I didn't like to take chances like that.
Chances cost problems and then problems needed to be fixed which often led to other problems and the cycle would continue.
"Trust me that's hardly a problem," she said dismissing my worries and crossing her hands together. She didn't care to elaborate on how it wasn't a problem, just told me and expected me to swallow it whole like that.
You'd think she'd be happier since this was the first time we were seeing each other in a while but no oh she could think about how she could throw me out of her house so she could return to that stranger who is probably going to be replaced the moment she gets bored with him.
"I wasn't kidding with what I said last night, Celestia is back. I made a mistake, I was too quick to act, and now..." I went ahead to explain everything to my sister hoping that at least she would console me just a little bit after all I was in hot soup but instead of consoling me she first ran her palm over her face making sure she sighed loudly enough for me to hear it, in fact I think Derek might have heard it too if he was a little bit closer to the bedroom door.
"I should have just known that you were going to do something like that I can't leave you on your own for a moment without expecting a disaster at my doorstep"
"Eclipse I hope you are not insinuating that I am the disaster no matter what happens between the two of us I am still your older sister and-"
"Can you not pull that older sister card out right now? We have a real problem and your little feelings are not what matters the most. I should have known that you were going to mess this up one day,"
Okay okay I know I made a mistake but could we just get over to the solution why was she so bent on blaming me?
"Well, what am I supposed to do now?" I asked her, "I tried seducing Raphael to at least make him a little bit mad and nothing worked in fact I think he goes even angrier after I did that,"
She stared at me as if she was looking at a lower life form then took another deep sigh.
"Is that really all you have going for you? I told you to learn how to be more cunning, do you think just throwing yourself around at him is going to work every single time? I mean I know that your mate mostly things mostly uses that lower head of his but he's still an alpha and eventually he has to use the one on top,"
I could tolerate the insults that she was throwing at me but I could not bear what she was saying about Raphael. Ik was quick to defend him without any hesitation.
"That man that you are talking about that way don't you know that without him both of us would still be eating out of the gutters?"
