Chapter 115
Mom told my dads to go back to bed. She wanted to stay with me until I fell asleep again. But I knew that wasn't going to happen. I wasn't going to be able to sleep after that f*****g nightmare.
What the hell was that? Where did that come from?
Mom and I talked about it for a while and she thought that I might be really upset that I didn't get any of her powers and that's why I was dreaming of it. And honestly, I had to agree with her. As much I didn't want to admit it.
I was upset that I didn't get any of the powers that she got. She was really incredible with so much power. But she assured me that I was powerful in different ways. Ways that she wouldn't want me to change for anything in the world.
We talked for a couple of hours. Actually, until the sun came up. And then she suggested something that she'd never suggested before.
She asked if I wanted to go for a jog with her. She said that it used to always help her after a nightmare and I thought it was a great idea.
So we both got changed and we left the castle and started jogging around the territory. Zidrith and my mom's dragon Adroa watched us leave the castle as they were perched on the roof.
Mom had made sure that they had somewhere safe to stay, but for some reason they were on that roof every morning as soon as the sun came up.
Mom assured them that we would be alright and the guards were following behind us, far enough behind that they couldn't hear us talking or anything like that.
That's the only good thing about the guards. They would stay out of earshot from what we
were talking about, even when I was at school, but we were always in their line of sight.
Mom was asking questions about Hazel. She knows that we don't get along and that Hazel is a b***h. Apparently Hazel isn't as good as she thinks she is when it comes to hiding her thoughts from my mother. I told her the truth. I didn't know where the hell that dream came from or why Hazel was in it. I
don't like her and I try not to think about her when I'm not at school or even looking at her. I really don't care about her.
I could see that mom looked a little concerned, no matter how much she tried to hide it. But I

know her better than she realizes.
When we got back to the castle I went to my room and had a shower and I got ready for school.
When I walked downstairs I saw Rory and Camila cleaning in one of the rooms together. But I kept walking through the castle until I got to the dining room.
"I didn't think Rory and Camila were allowed to clean in the same room at the same time.” I said.
"They're not." Mom said.
"Well, they're both in the sitting room by the stairs." I said.
So Pa Koda got up really quickly and stormed out of the room.
"It's alright Emma. You know the story about them two. We don't want them near each other in
the castle in case they are conspiring." Pa Tyler said.
"They don't have anyone to help them. Not anymore." I said.
"That doesn't mean they won't try. If they learnt anything from my father, they will keep trying until it kills them." Mom said, getting back to her plate of food. "Why don't you just lock them up in the dungeon?" I asked.
"Free labor." Pa Dean said nonchalantly.
I nodded my head and started eating my breakfast as well.
As soon as I left for school I walked down the stairs of the castle and I wasn't walking along
the field for long when I saw Levi running towards me.
"Hi." He said.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Hi. How's it going?" I asked.
"Pretty good. I see you haven't lost your guards today." He said, looking behind us at the warriors that were several paces behind us.
"No. They aren't going to lose me again so easily any time soon. My dads really chew them out whenever they do and then he assigns new guards to watch me." I said. "Damn. It sounds like you get a lot of guys in trouble.
"It's not a lot. It only happens occasionally. Because I like that little bit of space that my parents don't give me." I explained.
"That makes sense." He said.

"I guess so. Anyway, what's given you the sudden courage to talk to me in broad daylight with
the guards behind me?"
"I don't know. I think last night might have given me the courage that I needed." Levi said. "Really?"
We walked on for a bit longer when we finally reached town and Lucas was waiting for me at the same place that he's always waiting.
I saw the look on his face change immediately when he saw Levi with me and he got up and
walked over to the two of us, but his focus was on Levi.
"Hi." I said, awkwardly.
"Hey baby. How was the rest of your night?" Lucas asked, kissing me on the cheek.
"It was good. I ran into Levi last night. He didn't like that I was walking home alone after I lost my guards so he walked me the rest of the way home."
"Well, isn't that nice? What a gentleman." Lucas said, looking at Levi.
"I just did what any decent man should have." Levi said, glaring back at Lucas.
"Alright. Well, we're all going to be late for school. So we have to go." I said, walking on away
from them.
But they quickly caught up to me and Lucas grabbed my hand and held it as we were walking
to school and Levi was on the other side of me.
It was really awkward the whole rest of the way to school.
None of us said anything the whole way there and I could sense that they were both really tense.
When we got to school I walked over to see Avery and she hugged me as soon as she saw me, and didn't let go.
"What's going on?" She whispered in my ear.
"I think it's a pissing contest between them. I really don't know." I whispered back.
She finally let go of me and she was trying not to laugh but it was a little hard. I guess it was a
little funny.
A week ago, I didn't think any guys were interested in me and now I've got two of them. It's just weird.
And it only got weirder when we walked into the school building as well.

Lucas wouldn't leave me until the last second because we had different classes that morning,
but Levi was in my first class. And he gave a real s**t eating grin to Lucas as he walked into the classroom with me.
Lucas looked like he was about to shift right then and there but I leaned up and kissed him and told him that I would see him after class.
That seemed to calm him down.
At least for now.
