Chapter 12 - ELEVEN: Beautiful Scar

CAMILA

Erica have not been in school for two whole weeks. I've been worried at first I thought she was avoiding me because I've been selfish in wanting this relationship, but I can't forced her. I know she is happy with Fay. I know she will be happy if she was with me too.

I didn't want our friendship to go away even though, I selfishly said those words that weren't supposed to be said once in a relationship, but I broke it. What can I do? Leo's are selfish or at least I think I am selfish. I want Erica. I want her, but I know I am a step too late. I could already see that in her eyes that she has moved on. 

Even though, I knew that she won't choose me anymore. I can't help but feeling I am living in a painful bliss. It's beautiful in a way that is tormenting me. I want us to become a lover, but not a lover. I don't want her to become a friend yet I want her to be my friend. There are just things that can't be said when we are in a relationship but we are able to touch each other and feel each other. Then as friends we can talk about everything even stuff that their lovers don't know about but can't touch or feel. So that is why I am obsessed.

That is why I rejected her proposal, but I don't want this relationship we have right now to go away. I know I tend to lead on her sometimes back in the past because I was selfish. I would kiss her on the cheeks, hold her hands, and hug her. Selfishly speaking I was using her to get what I want from her without being in a relationship with her to at least get touchy with her even without having relationship with one another.

I am selfish to the point where I can throw everything just to keep this kind of relationship with her. Everything just feels so tragic right now. I am feeling restless yet I am not restless. I am hungry but not hungry. I want to sleep but I am not sleepy. I am just so tired.

I plucked out my earphone and I looked towards my side. "Hey love," Simon says his masculine body came to hug me from behind.

"Hey," I whispered.

"What's wrong you don't look so happy?" he sounded concern. 

"Mmm.... I think I am fine. Can you give me a second?" He breathed in the air into his lungs and let go of the hug turning me over to face him.

"Camila, you know that I love you right?" His grey eyes was filled with concern. "You can tell me if you have any problems."

"I know," I sighed. I brush the front lock of my hair to the back of my ear. The wind blew and the leaves rustle against the wind. I looked up at my boyfriend. He is the perfect boyfriend that anyone could ask for kind, smart, caring and handsome who wouldn't want a boyfriend like him.

However, my heart have always been taken, and was taken by a girl. I was scared of coming out but even if come out now it is too late. Erica has been taken. My fear has taken control of me.

"Simon, can we have a little break?"

He sighed. "Camila," he scratch his head. "Is it about Erica again?"

"How did you know?"

"You would always talk about her in our every single conversation."

I blushed. "Was I that obvious?"

"Yes, and I always knew that you liked her the same way that Erica likes you and she still do."

"How did you know?"

He scoffed. "Everyone in the school knows Erica is the school wallflower the way she sticks to you like a glue and helped you out in every situation is not what all friends will do. Especially, I can catch that girl looking at you at every single hour or even minutes to look at you in class. So please tell how can everyone be so oblivious."

"But if you knew why did you still love me?"

"Does loving someone needs a reason?"

I smile. "That's true."

"Now, since you wanted a little break off of our relationship. You can have all the time in the world to do it. Now just do what you are supposed to do study and maybe even think of our relationship. All I ever want for you to be is for you to be happy. All you have to do is say the word and I'll let you go."

I closed my eyes and breathed in the air into my lungs slowly I exhale looking up at my boyfriend and just hug him as I whispered words of thanks into his ears. He kissed my forehead before exiting the school balcony. I took out my phone and dialed Erica number.

"Hi Erica-" No longer than a split second the wind raged and the little rock was caught inside my eyes. I rubbed it away but when I open back up my phone was gone 

"Looking for something?" I turned around a girl was facing me. She looked so beautiful like she came out of a Lolita anime wearing a long princess red dress with sleeves and red umbrella to cover her from the sun. When she removed the umbrella from her face she looked stunning. She had strange hazel eyes that looked like they were with swirling gold dust and perfectly small face that matches her body. She held my phone with her white glove in her hand. "You must be Camila." She smiles. "I have heard so many great things about you. My name is Micah Hale a pleasure to meet you." She held out her hand. 

"Nice to meet you too."

ERICA P.O.V

"Can someone please tell me why I am doing this again?" I complaint. Everything in here smells like death especially since I see a trail of blood on the hall leading it into a room.

"Well," Aiden said. "You did strike a deal with William in order to called off the engagement you have with my sister, but in return all your childhood memories will be returned to you and you have to continue to do your childhood labor."

I sighed. I can still remember the electric pain that I have felt from yesterday. Now everything is clear to me. The reason that everyone in the manor was so nice to me was because I was the most talented elite assassin I have been since I was young. 

I made my first killing when I was just 5 years old. I shot a millionaire in the head and left the crime scene like a wind, and the millionaire had dozens of body guards surrounding him at all times. And then there was me in my 5 years old body laying down on the tree with a rifle in my hands. I was looking at the millionaire through the scope and killed him with just a shot. I am no goddess. I am not a normal girl. I have blood in my hands and there were way more than I can count.

We opened the door there was a pile of bodies sitting at the end of the corner, but now we know where the smell of death comes from. A man stand in the middle looking at the pile of the bodies holding a cigarette in his mouth as his face turns to look at me.

"Is that him," I asked.

"Yup it is," Aiden answered. "Blue eyes, blonde hair, white skin that is definitely Louis Fon Monarch our target." Louis lips turns into a smirk like he was enjoying and living in the moment. But I'll see how long if he can keep the smirk on his devilish lips.

This time I'm not going to use a gun. I'm going to use my sword. Time for me to practice. I unscathed my sword from my waist holding them. Louis just kept his gaze at me. He put up a barrier and several of sharp strings into the room, and that explains the body parts missing from the victims body, but it wasn't going to work for me.

That was a weak move. With my sword beside me I felt invincible cutting down every strings and I jumped on the air so high so that I could break the barrier with my sword with all my strength. 

Before the battle has even started the result had already came out. I put my sword back to the scabbard before breathing in the air. The head of Louis Fon Monarch began to rolled my side and his lips still remains the smirk. I grinned. Louis Fon Monarch was a foolish man. He knew he would die in my hands, but still he wanted to fight.

I kicked the head to the far end of the room. I hate to admit it but I do certainly miss this part of me. "Is the whole Monarch family annihilated?"

"I believe there is the father and mother we hadn't meet and judging at the situation they should be more in a deeper part of the mansion like the basement."

I smile. "Good they should really learn not to mess with our family." Aiden smiles. "I miss having you partner."

"Miss you too." We clapped our hands and with our bloodied clothes we headed down for the basement time to teach the Monarch family from ever belittling Lumia Family ever again.
