BXBX NOVEL Chapter 229 - Betrayal
They spent the rest of the day chatting with Kathy until they sent her in one of John's propriety.
The next morning, when Roselyn woke up John had already left, to go teach Abigail. He left a note on the bed to remind her he loved her and to tell her she was going to Victor's residence to do second training with Abigail.
Roselyn took advance of his absence to sleep a bit more and lay in bet about one hour more of the usual. At the bottom of the note, a quote stated that maids weren't coming so she had to reason to wake up early but she could take few more hours to rest.
She turned around in bed until she fell asleep again about a little time that seemed so little to her probably due to her sleep she saw a light from the hall.
"You're already back?" Roselyn asked, stretching her arms and scratching her eyes to wake up and clear her blurred vision due to sleep.
No answer.
She scoffed inwardly feeling lazy out of nowhere she refused to wake up so she decided to call him and ask him to join her in bed.
"Come here. I want to lay down a bit more." Roselyn said in an amused tone of voice but again she received no answer. It was odd, John had overdeveloped senses how could he not hear her?
"John?" Roselyn called as she climbed toward the edge of the bed quite concerned and confused.
She stood up and after putting a dress on she walked closer to the light exiting her room and entering the hall.
The light she saw was unbearable like if the sun was standing a few meters afar her, Roselyn took steps backward and Sharon appeared.
"Hello, sister." Roselyn knew she had the powers to be linked with life and dead but she never expected banshee could also link with alive people.
"How can you appear here when you are supposed to be… dead?" Roselyn said as she tried to blink her eyes more times, to wake up from her vision. Maybe she was still dreaming.
"Roselyn we are banshee, the fairy of life which means that our powers don't disappear when we die. We can still link with other people and enter into their minds. Sounds like I will always be a hinter for you." Sharon said with a mischievous proud tone of voice.
"What do you want then?" Roselyn cut it off as the less time she spent with Sharon the better.
"I just want to ask, since you'd always acted like you were the smartest sister. How does it feel to be betrayed and deceived not only once but twice?" Sharon said curving her thin lips in her familiar annoying smirk.
"If you didn't betray me at this time you would be alive and I would be lost in a wood or probably dead," Roselyn replied narrowing her eyes, whether it was a dream or not she was losing her patience.
"Are you sure we are done here?" Sharon asked arching her eyebrows and acting like if she was planning something.
Roselyn shook her head and turned around, she wanted to go back to sleep. "Stop trying to manipulate me." She whispered.
"Where is John?" Sharon asked right when Roselyn was about to take a turn and enter the corridor to reach her room. Her question and her tone of voice made Roselyn halt and turn around.
"It's nothing of your business," Roselyn commented to glower at her and turned around once again.
"Maybe you're not as smart as you thought," Sharon whispered but when Roselyn turned around once again to ask what she meant she was already disappeared.
Roselyn ran toward the bed to check the letter, she skimmed through it more and more times but there was nothing weird that caught her attention and warn her.
Maybe it was another of Sharon's tricks, she took a resigned breath and went back to sleep, finally.
After about one hour she woke up and headed toward the kitchen, a glass of wine was fallen over the floor and the parquet was x in wine. Roselyn took a towel and cleaned it up, probably when Sharon entered her room the wind made the glass fell.
She removed some grapes from the fridge and ate them as she waited for John to arrive. A little part of her was concerned Sharon may not be tricking but could allude to something more serious.
Roselyn's overthinking was definitely Sharon's main purpose so she couldn't fall into her trap once again. John was training Abigail and there was nothing weird in the letter. She reassured herself mentally when a major reassuration came when John opened the door.
Roselyn took a breath of relief and smiled widely, "John! You're fine!"
John giggled arching his eyebrow quite concerned, "you didn't find my letter?"
Roselyn was even more reassured, he wrote the letter and that was the confirmation. Sharon was only trying to deceive her another time but this time Roselyn didn't fall for her tricks.
"How was practice?" Roselyn then asked as she stared at her man walking toward her it was like he saw him for the first time, her legs were shaking and she was in the trace staring at how handsome her boy looked.
"Good. I taught her few more tricks. She is learning fast and getting even stronger. I guess much power is sent by her kid." John started when he finally reached her and kissed her softly.
"You just woke up? I can see it from your eyes still closed." John smiled and chuckled as he stroke Roselyn's hair behind her ear, Roselyn nodded. "I did, I probably just had a nightmare."
John knitted his eyebrows, "another one?"
Rose shrugged, "doesn't matter." She smiled and kissed him over his cheek. "You're here now.." She took a long breath as she felt reassured to see he was fine.
