Chapter 24 - The past

Cecile was engrossed deep in her thoughts. She couldn't help but think about the day when she first meet Nefertiri. Cecile herself was two years older than Nefertiri but she still felt really young comparing her awakening with others. At that day she accompanied her older sister to one of her first lessons at the training camp and that's when she saw a little girl and with her two others. It was confusing to see someone near her own age here without an adult. Her sister said to go to them and say hi maybe she could do more friends. It wasn't as if she never saw them but she didn't know them personally. In the end it was Nefertiri making the first step to her when she was mad at her sister.

"I'm not going to play with her."

"Just be nice."

Cecile was making a mad face. She didn't like the little one at first glance. The white haired girl was already in front of her and behind her was another girl with cute short hair and glasses with some weird wings that looked really interesting.

"I'm Nefertiri, it's nice to meet you." She stretched her hand for a shake so Cecile didn't want to be impolite she took it to shake it and say her own name but just when their skin made contact she felt the air around her. It was a magical feeling to feel its smell and feel the really small particles. She then understood that she was awakened. A little girl who just started to be a teenager already awakened but at the look at it she wasn't the youngest one.

"I'm Cecile."

"I know. I was waiting for you CC."

The little girl didn't quite understand why this young cute girl was waiting for her and she could feel a weird power in her. She's powerful. There was no mistake, Nefertiri was strong.

Thinking about it now Cecile always was the better one from the two. She wasn't as powerful as Nefertiri but she was nice to others but she could also be a handful when she wanted. She liked to draw and was really creative. Cecile had more curves and always was the interest of boys having innocent relationships with some of them. It was nice to have her loving mother teaching her things and awakening new interests. She was mature and immature at the same time what made people like her even more. She just tried to be herself. Always having a really great time with Nefertiri and Scar but sometimes people take things for granted and that's the biggest mistake.

She needed to make things right between them she wanted to still have her best friend beside her. The white haired girl was the only one who could see through her thick walls. It was so nice to just be herself and not put up a strong front in front of her. She was always the one who protected both of them Scar more than Nefertiri. Scar has had time when she got picky up by some classmates making her feel extremely sad and Nefertiri didn't like to fight. She just ignored everything that came at her not complaining or even thinking about it. It wasn't worth it she always said.

Cecile was in a trance looking at Zidite holding Nefertiri. She missed her own mate that was at home waiting for her to show up after the mission.

She felt that something wasn't right Why was there blood on his face as if he cried with it. He looked as pale as her still unconscious friend in his arms but there was a loving gaze lingering on her face waiting for her to open her eyes. She saw so much tenderness in his in this moment red eyes that she felt overwhelmed herself. It was truly heartwarming. Nefertiri has someone to take care of her after all those lonely years. She smiled softly thinking about it. She saw Zidite whispering something to his soulmate and then saw her stir. It was as if only him could bring her back from wherever she was. Looking at the both of them was as if a person was seeing some really pretty picture. Everything looked so surreal right now that she just wanted to pinch herself to check if she wasn't dreaming. Ruby that was standing beside her saw her slow motion and pinched her just like that just to make her a little bit mad but it was okey. If she didn't do it she could always squeeze really hard the skin of Misha he wouldn't get mad. Or so she though. This guy liked to joke too much, sometimes he was too bubbly.

Having a dragon in their group or clan was weird but helpful. This powerful being was there to help them and protect Nefertiri. It's really good like this. Cecile wouldn't change a thing she believed she can repair with Nefertiri their broken friendship if they just try.
