Delva walked deeper into the room.
"Where the fuck have you been? I searched entirely the whole place I didn't see you?"She barked.
"And why will you be doing that?" Retorted Bonnie fearlessly.
"Oh, I see. You're getting bolder."
"Shouldn't I ? Or wait, You want me to continue being chicken-hearted. Oopsy!Sorry, I grow up." She mocked.
Delva frown. Anger surging inside her.
"How dare you talk to me like that! Have you no respect?"
"I don't remember saying anything offensive."
"I won'tt have you insult me Bonnie. Don't forget I'm older than you."
"With five minutes, duh!"
"Bonnie!"
"What?"
Delva smile and began to laugh. Bonnie was taken aback. She watch her tenaciously , wondering what could be making her laugh.
Delva laughed and laughed like someone possessed by a demon. She stop suddenly and gaze at Bonnie,sombrely.
"If you don't watch how you talk to me,I'll expose you." She threatened,seethingly.
"Expose me? How?"
"Him."
"Who exactly are you talking about?" She smiles.
"You know who I'm referring to Bonnie."
"I'm sorry, I don't. There's a lot of him here in the palace. Sally, all male are call him, right? " She smiled also.
Delva wishes nothing more than to smack out that smile on her face.
"Yes, my princess." Responded Sally.Drawing Delva's attention to herself.
She bit her lips harshly when her eyes met with hers. The death glare she sent her ceased her breathe causing her to shiver in freight.
God! She wish nothing more than just to disappear from the room.
"Get out!"
Oh yeah. Her pray seemed to be answered. Though it wasn't from her princess. She wish her princess will tell her to go too.
"Um...my prin....."
"Get the hell outta here, Now!"
She looked at her princess but she said nothing. She was torn whether to stay or go. Her princess hasn't say anything.
She waited to get an order from her, none came. When she couldn't stand Delva's death glare.
She scurried off. Running like one being pursued by the devil.
"And you."Delva turned her attention back to her sister,after Sally was gone .
Bonnie turmed as well , diverting her attention back to her sister. She felt sorry for her poor maid.
The way she was running. She knows her sister is terrifying especially when angry. Not to her though.
"You pretend not to know who am referring to." She stated, burning.
"How will I?, you didn't clearify the actual person. If I'm correct, the guards are also him. I honestly don't know who you're talking about. " She replied innocently.
She knew.
Fuck yeah,she does.
She knows exactly who she's talking about. How can't she know she's referring to Wolfariane. The poor werewolf in the museum.But Bonnie's determined not to make things easy for her.
"Fine. You don't Know. I'll tell you."
"Okay. All ears."
She playfully turn her ears to Delva,moving it closer to her mouth.
"You're doing this on purpose,right?"
"What are you saying? "
She rolls her eyes.' Pretentious fool.'
"I don't care about your pretense and facade...I'm talking about the animal in the museum."
Her body still,Her heartbeat accelerated and was Paralyzed in fear briefly.
Does she know. Is she aware I do take food to him?
No,no.
She might not know. She's trying to trick me, right?
Still with a smile,she said."I don't know what you're talking about " she denied.
"Oh yes ,you do Bonnie. You 've constantly be visiting him."
"Oh! I see. You've been stalking me,huh?"
Delva paled out."I wasn't."
"Really?"
"I wasn't stalking you Bonnie,I just happen to notice."
"Mmmmm,I see."
"Don't say that."
"Say what."
"I see."
"You've got a problem with it ."
"It make me look like a liar."
"Are you?"
Bonnie held her gaze. Staring intently into her eyes.
Delva was tongue-tied, she bites her lips hard, frantically searching for a comeback but her brain couldn't.ake out any.
"I'm not stalking you. And I don't care if you believe me. The thing remain ,you do go often to see him. Have feelings for him?"
"Sure, I love him." Bonnie sarcastically said."Very much. More than you could imagine."
Well Delva couldn't Miss the sarcasm in her reply. She wanted to get her to admit and tell her her plans towards Wolfariane. So she would thing on ways to stop it.
She can feel it deep down that Bonnie felt something towards him. And has a plan maybe to save him but she wasn't sure neither did she know how she plan to do that.
The Confrontation was to get her to open up. But it seem like she won't be getting anything. Her sister has wisen up. She hardly could recognize her.
If it was before Bonnie, the moment she start her confrontation she would begin to cry begging her and confessing everything she has in mind.
Why isn't she doing it now. Or is she misinterpreting things. Does she visit him? Is she the one making it up?
That's what it look like, but she's quite aware that her instinct can't be wrong.
'Ill have to keep an eye on her but before then... let me threatens her.
"Did you thinks you can decieve me by acting innocent? I'll report you to father."
"Report me?why? What did I do?" Fear engulf her.
"You went to the museum today."
"Oh."Relieve flashed back into her.
If not for anything, father saw her and she's grateful to have told him the truth when he enquired.
At least that is to her advantage.
And if she saw her with him. She could lie she went to see him to know if he's healthy enough to continue with their experiments.
"Let's see if he won't stop you from going there."
"Okay."
"Okay? You don't care if he stops you? You won't beg me not to."
"Why should I?"
"Because you care for the animal and you love them too. Aren't you a verterinary?"
"What does it have to do with this?"
"You love animals. And I know you love him too since he's one."
"I do? I never said I don't."
"You were being sarcastic."
"Really? I don't remember."
"Bonnie will stop this and be honest."
"Be honest? How?"
"Why are you doing this? Why don't you say the truth?" She cried, bitterly.
Bonnie felt sorry for her. She knows what she wants. She want to be let in,but she can't do that. Especially not when it concerns her wolfy.
Giving her the information she seek is ruining her plan and destroying Wolfariane's life which she's not ready to do.
It doesn't matter if her sister would hate her. She have to help Wolfariane escape. And to do that, she can't tell her her plans or give her clues on her level of emotional involvement.
"Delva, I don't know why you're too concern in my affairs. If I want to share anything I'll come to you not the other way round."
"Fine. Since you're lying to me, you should be answerable to father."
She stomp out from Her room, seethingly. Her body growing in anger. How the hell did her sister become so stubborn and wise?.
She used to be fragile. Just yell at her , she would break down, crying and spitting everything to you. Even the ones you did ask.
She would tell you every of her secret just so you won't be angry with her.
She changed.
She really changed.
But doesn't it take long to change? Can one change within a space of few weeks they return?
She find it hard to believe.
There must be something she's missing.
'ill deal with you Bonnie. I will so muc deal with you. For making me look like a fool today,I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget. I'm reporting you to father and I'm going to ask him to stop you from entering the museum again. I'll make sure surely, you won't set your eyes on the animal again. I know for sure you do see him...Keep lying I don't care. Whether you see him or not, you're not going into the museum again '
Thinking about that made her feel better.
Sally rushed inside her princess room when she saw Delva stomping out angry.
She've always know her to be bossy and controlling. She wants to know everything that goes on with Bonnie. Always manipulating her to spill even when she doesn't.
She just hope her princess has grown up now. And won't be stupid to spill .
Inside, she saw Bonnie sitting on the bed,weak and tired . She was massaging her head.
"Princess, are you okay?"
"Yeah. I'm good."
She look frantically, then move close to her and wispers."Does princess Delva know?"She asked" About him?" She added.
"No. She's just speculating. She isn't sure. "
"Thank God. I thought she knew. That would have been bad." She grimace.
"Yeah. Very bad." Bonnie breathe tiredly."I would have be in lots of trouble."
Thinking if that makes her cringed.
"No joke, princess."
...
Delva who was deeply angered by her conversation with her sister couldn't wait for her father to get done with his visitors which consists of foreigners from far country and few of the royal council who have come to negotiate with the king to sell Wolfariane to them.
Delva wishes that her father will sell him but she know it close to impossible.
Her father would never do that not when he's hungry for power.
She's getting impatient waiting for them,only if she could walk in There and end the fucking meeting which is as good as nothing.She thought.
There's nothing they will offer or said which will make her father agree on selling him.
He wants him,for his own benefit.
Having him means having power and domineer.
Still packing around when her maid rushed in.
"What is it,Anna?" She snapped.
"They are leaving. The visitors are going." She reported excitedly.
Scoffing angrily ,she ask."So?"
"The king is alone."
Hearing that brought smile to her face. She adjusted her dress before going out of the room.
The king was seated, lost in thought when she approach."Father?"
He look up."My dear, you're here."
"Yes, father."
He scrutinize her."Don't look happy. Who offend you?"
"It Bonnie. But tell me first,did the meeting go well.?"
"It has be like it ought to be...what did you're sister do?"
"She insulted me."
The king got surprise. Bonnie is kind and calm. Can she really insult her sister?
"Why would she do that?"
"Just because I told her to stop seeing that animal in the museum." She son."I'm only looking after her."
King Archibald heart soften hearing her daughter's word. She cares so much for her sister.
"Don't care ,dear. I know you care for her and you are scared that he would hurt her,but don't worry Bonnie is an adult,she can take care of herself."
Delva frowned hearing that. She began to cry.
The king thought she's was crying for what he said. Not knowing she's only trying in manipulating him to give in to her demand.
"Don't worry I'll stop her if it becomes toxic to her."
'who talks about toxicity. I want to punish her and you're making things difficult for me.
"Father I don't want her to go there....stop her entirely from entering the museum."
"I'm sorry, I can't do that, except if there's a good reason behind."
"There is."
"Huh?" Surprise."There's another reason?"
"Yes,father."
"What could that be?"
"Bonnie is in love with him"
