Chapter 63: Let’s Talk
"Is there something you want to ask?"
Cedric was acting really strange, the affection he was showing me right now was staggering, I thought him to be cold, unspoken, and distant, but it seemed utterly different right now. I was still embarrassed by what happened between us, I couldn’t help myself from blushing so hard, for Cedric just seemed normal, ridiculously calm and I was blushing like a child. Get hold of yourself, Sylvia! I mentally scolded myself.
"Well?" he urges patiently waiting for me to say something.
I gulped, because I knew I had to say something, especially what was bugging me, I was suddenly reminded of it again when I felt the pain in my ankle, all the memories.
"I-I know I said I wouldn’t ask nor is this the right time for it a-after w-what just happen".
"I see," he said in a simple tone.
"It’s not that just.... just... I just want to know why the Nightshades wanted me dead", I swore I saw his eyes turn black completely, and the air suddenly icy, maybe it was just my imagination.
I held onto his hand, his eyes softened.
"Please Cedric, I want to know", I awaited his reply, he seemed so silent suddenly, I was beginning to wonder if I made a mistake by asking.
"Yes you should," he finally said.
"T-Thank yo-" I suddenly gasped when he swept me up in his arms.
