Suki:
Waking up once again, I felt my body was so fucking heavy. It was as if I had been given a second chance.
I rembered the last ti I was awake, I made so mistakes, especially when I let jealousy take over and ended up making them.
This ti, it was going to be different. I would not repeat my mistakes. I would just focus on getting out of this. And it seed like Joshua already had a plan.
"Go ahead, make a wish," the Shadow Earth Eater told .
"Should I ask to go ho safe?" I turned to look at Joshua and asked him.
"Go ahead, it is your wish," He whispered to , and the Shadow Earth Eater smiled. It seed like she truly adored Joshua. Of course she did, because he was a fool. People love idiots. But I was not a fool.
I was not going to make the sa mistakes I had made before or the ones others had made.
More specifically, Oriana. Why did she let Joshua go first? I would never understand that.
"Well, my wish is," I mumbled, stepping closer to Joshua after he pulled away from . I held his hand, wrapped my arm around his, and rested my head on his shoulder while staring at the Shadow Earth Eater, who looked at impatiently. "My wish is for you to cut off your head and leave it at my feet."
The mont I finished, I watched the Shadow Earth Eater’s eyes turn red. Even Joshua turned toward .
"What are you saying?" he demanded.
"Oh, co on," I replied. "Didn’t you say you were sent here for the task of killing her? Do you not know how it goes?"
The Shadow Earth Eater began to growl in anger.
"Co on, fulfill my wish," I mocked her. "You don’t back away from your wishes, do you?"
I noticed the way she rushed toward , but she stopped. Joshua was ready to defend . I noticed it. I saw it.
But it seed like my wish was coming true because, without the Shadow Earth Eater’s acknowledgnt, she began to throw her body around, trying to tear her head from it.
Joshua looked at , then back at the Shadow Earth Eater as she let out cries of pain.
"I should have never trusted people who betray their own friends," she scread.
I watched the Shadow Earth Eater die by cutting off her own head and throwing it away. It was fun to watch the way she crumbled, the way she took her last breaths, the pain in her eyes.
I laughed a few tis. Joshua remained quiet, watching her die, and once it was done, I grabbed her head and carried it.
"There was no other way for us to leave. Besides, what if sobody else had gotten their hands on her and she had told them about my secret?"
I looked at Joshua to explain why it was important that we kill her. He looked at deeply, then smiled and nodded his head.
"But you know, you’ll be the only one leaving the academy," he remarked.
As soon as he said that, I frowned at him.
"Why? You can co with ," I told him.
He shook his head sadly.
"There are only a few people getting this privilege. I thought you were going to use that wish to help out of the academy," he replied.
The mont he said that, my heart started to crumble. I watched his face and realized he had done so much for .
"Well, worry not. I know how to get you out," I said. "You said Oriana accused Yorick of a cri, and then she agreed to be his mate. What if I return and say I don’t want to be his mate and that I want you to beco my mate?" I asked, looking hopeful.
He began to shake his head.
"It’s not that simple, Suki. Things are changing quickly. They’re replacing us. Anyway, let’s just get out first, then we can deal with all this. Ian and Clentine have already left the North, so I’m guessing they’re doing sothing out there to stop this whole thing or sothing," he explained.
As Joshua ntioned Clentine, I rolled my eyes. He told that briefly he had thought about bringing into her body.
"I’m so glad you did not summon into her body," I remarked. "She’s a troublemaker. I didn’t want to wake up in her body and then have to fight monsters and everything. She has too many responsibilities. I like this body," I added, touching my stomach.
"Well then, I’m happy you do, but we need to get out of here," Joshua mumbled, pointing toward the ceiling of the caves as they began to shake.
"Of course. They’ve lost their master," I replied. "Well then, let’s go," I stated, holding the head close.
I was going to go back, co out as soone victorious who had killed a monster on her last mission, and then be free of the academy too. It was a perfect plan.
As I ran after Joshua, following him closely, I noticed Mira, Renee, and Sebastian in the distance.
Then Haiden and Troy showed up. They were all covered in the blood of the Earth Eaters.
I didn’t know how many monsters they had slain after I died last ti, but after hearing the Earth Eaters’ growls and everything else, I was glad I had been gone for a little while.
"You killed her?" Troy asked, looking shocked.
"Yeah, I did. I wouldn’t let a monster—" I began, but he rolled his eyes and sped past .
While running, I turned to Joshua, trying to ask him what that had been about.
"Oh yeah, I have to tell you what she did to them."
He leaned closer as he spoke, and then we began to run harder to get out of the tunnel.
Things were a blur from there on. We rushed out, and Joshua made sure he stayed right with , making sure I was not landing myself in more trouble.
Then we finally arrived at the train station. I had blocked out everything.
There was too much noise for . I had been in silence for months.
Of course, the change was big. However, the mont we reached the station, I heard Haiden make a comnt that perked my ears.
"Look at her, going from hypnotizing us to save her to slaying a monster," he remarked.
It was not a complint. It sounded bitter, directed at . I turned to look at Joshua, waiting for him to explain what all the fuss was about with Oriana.
What the fuck had she done that I was going to get accused of now?
