Chapter 70: Outside The Walls Of The Holy Library {1}
I couldn’t stop the excitement that coursed through me, I was all lively from the very first break of dawn. I was certain Elvenia could feel every ounce of joy on my body as she tied my hair in a ribbon.
"Elvenia have you been outside?" I asked, breaking the silence that brooded between us, even though she was always inflexible. I really wanted her to speak to me, it’s been a while.
"Look I’m sorry about the kitchen and-"
"That is where I came from... so yes I have been outside the Holy Library walls," she said, cutting me off and I figured she didn’t want to talk about the incident in the kitchen. Noted.
She was done with my hair and walked to get something, I took that opportunity to rise to my feet and assess my dress. it was beautiful compared to the ones I usually wore within the library, this looked like a dress clearly made for outside.
Beneath, I wore an empire waist white gown starting from beneath my chest, and on the outside, it was the same style of jacket, light blue color with dark blue designs embodied on it, the knot tied just beneath my chest, it was long sleeve but stopped at my elbows, the texture of it was thick too. I also have light blue gloves on my hands. My hair was packed up in a curly bun with a black ribbon.
I could barely recognize myself, I couldn’t believe what I saw, I looked like those girls I admired back at the orphanage taking a stroll outside. I smiled taking in everything, comfortable and proud of what I was seeing.
I adjusted the collar of my jacket and hissed when I felt a pain, that same pain ever since that night, I was unable to make sense of it because of what happened yesterday. So I quickly pulled down the collar and turned my neck to the side and I gasped.
There was a puny red long line of cut on my neck, It wasn’t deep and it was barely visible almost like a knife greased me, but I knew all far too well that a knife didn’t cause this, I vividly remembered William’s canines greasing me that night and how he sucked deeply on it hence the sting, the mark wasn’t visible but my red skin was from his suck.
