Chapter 156: Devotion part two

The whole thing went on till lunch break. I was sandwiched between two girls and both were trying their best to distract me. 

Needless to say, there were loads of rubbing and loads of soft things pushing against my arms. 

I already knew everything the teachers had to say, so a little distraction was fine: it was shameful of me but I might or might have enjoyed this feeling and jealous Marg was kind of cute- deadly- but cute. 

The teachers had nothing to say either. The students, however, were more than just jealous. None had the guts to say or try anything though. 

But just as lunch break came- the tension rose exponentially high. 

"So," Marg began. "What's your answer?"

I guess she didn't beat around the bush. I really thought she'd go crazy or maybe even dump me. But I guess I was just underestimating her love and even disrespecting her. She trusted me and loved me and I had to accept that sincerely and respond. 

But I didn't actually have an answer. So, instead, I turned to my left. "Why are you doing this? And please be straight with me."

Enira closed her eyes, gathered her thoughts, smiled. "I have been with you since you killed me and from then on, my life is dependent on yours. If you die, I'll die too. So It's only natural I serve you and always be nice to you, protect you, and make love to you and-"

She went on. The glares around me also went on, especially the one coming from my right. 

I needed to act, I needed to act quickly. 

I sighed. "Well, you don't have to. Can't you just stay in the saber, like usual?"

She'd been in the saber for all this time, so she could still do that and that'd basically save us all the trouble. 

The girl instantly looked sad. "You'd lock me up too?" It wasn't just sadness, no. there was even pain in those luscious deep brown eyes. 

I had a splitting headache after hearing the word 'locked'. 

"No-" My mouth moved automatically. For a moment it was almost as though I was seeing everything through third person rather than my own eyes. 

For just that one second, it wasn't my body anymore. 

And a second later- I got the control back. 

This was bad- the shadow was growing stronger by the day. And it hated the word 'locked'.

'So, it can take over now?' I guess going to Germany and meeting that weird guy who could make spatial barriers was really the only way. The nurse's remarks about the guy weren't really that great though, so I wasn't too sure. 

The headache was gone but the girl- Enira with watery guys grabbed my arm. "Thank you. You have no idea, how painful it was to be locked up in that form for thousands of years." For a second she was genuinely happy. 

But I wasn't. "Thousands of years?" I raised a brow. 

She was faking it, obviously. After all, Mutors only appeared like hundred years ago after the meteor impact. So, it was more than just impossible to exist for thousands of years. 

She smiled awkwardly and looked away, trying to whistle, except, she couldn't whistle. 

I didn't know why but it looked awfully cute. And now I had the brilliant idea of what I'd make Marg do when we were alone next time. 

But. "What do you want? As in what do you want of me?" Maybe I came a bit too frank but I needed an answer."

"Be my lover," Her voice was quiet but then she looked up to me sincerely answered. "I want to be your lover."

"Sorry but I already have one and I don't want more." I had no intention of dealing with more, no thanks.

"But my love won't change." Again her voice was quiet. She was looking down, pained. For a girl who I just met this morning, she sure seemed confident in loving me. 

I didn't reciprocate her feelings but I understood them. After all, I knew the pain of being rejected.  "But I'll allow you to stay by me for the time being." I needed the saber for the tournament and for the raid- I mean the tea party. So yeah, I needed her to stick around for now. 

She did smile, but definitely not the most convincing smile. 

Sigh. The sigh came from my right.  Yeah, I screwed up. "So you're not sending her back?" Marg's voice was level, but she was mad. 

Now I turned to Marg. "Can I just say-" I'd definitely screwed up.

She held her fingers to my lips. "I trust you. And I assure you, I'll kill anyone that gets in our way." She smiled with kindness. "So, there's nothing for you to worry about as long as nothing happens."

'That, is something, I should be worried about!' But yeah, she was definitely still intent on killing the girl.

I gulped. But hey, as long as her anger didn't land on me, I was fine with this. 

Probably. 

***

And so, after a grueling debate between the two girls, a deal was struck. 

Enira would only be able to stay in the same house with us, but not in the same room with me and Marg. And for the time being, she'd be within the saber at night- no matter what. Marg was very insistent on that no matter what part. 

Marg also made it clear we'd move in first thing next month. I guess I now had another reason to wrap up everything this month. But this also meant even after all this, Enira was still going to be with us. 

The glares around me? They were no more. Why? 

The ones glaring so far were either looking into the horizon questioning their lives, or silently shedding tears: some even turned to stones. Rather emotional but probably they were just overreacting. 

Probably. 

I was really surprised at just how reasonable Marg was and how much she trusted me. Then again, I got the feeling even if I cheated, she'd kill the girl I cheated her with rather than harm me. I had no such intention though.

I was totally content as I was. 

Marg was all I needed. 

"By the way-" The lunch break was almost about to end. "I kind of promised to take Selene on a date."

Marg's mood took a U-turn and she gave me a dull glare: ever since the topic of us moving together came up, she was really in a good mood but now- I kind of feared my life. 'I shouldn't have said that.'

"A date you say? Even though we haven't gone ourselves?" Her voice was cold and very condescending. She came close and her face came even closer. 

"Yeah, I kind of broke her leg, and sorry."

She sighed. "Fine. Just don't get seduced. Or I'll kill her." Yes, she was serious. 

Was it me, or was Marg the one being possessive. 

'At least she's reasonable' I wasn't so sure anymore though. 

I nodded vigorously but Marg didn't move her head- rather- she grabbed mine and kissed me. 

I might add, it was a very passionate kiss and I almost had a hood down there. Thank the heavens for underwear. "I might visit tonight- if-" She whispered and winked. She didn't tell me anything else. I guess the rest was self-explanatory. 

All the boys around me turned to stone and lunch break ended. 

I was in a pretty good mood though. I'd just been promised candy- so yeah, definitely I wasn't going to act out of order and be a good boy and wait. 

My smirk still leaked though.
