Chapter 0389
"If I were Selena, where would I be..." I whispered to myself as I jogged across campus. I knew that she couldn't be in her dorm, as Luke would have looked there first. I decided to try the lecture halls first, since they had no windows and had desks to hide under. Plus, she knew those rooms well compared to the rest of campus.
I jogged into the classroom building, then down the stairs into the basement where the three large lecture halls were held.
*Selena?" I called, pushing open the first door. I ran up and down the rows of seats, checking beneath the desks, but she wasn't there. She wasn't in the maintenance closet, either. In fact, as I ran through all three lecture halls, I realized that she wasn't there. I cursed under my breath as I finished searching the last one, then ran back out into the hall and looked around wildly for another option.
She was my twin; even though she didn't have her wolf, we still had our twin bond. I knew that if I just closed my eyes and focused really hard, I could get a sense of where she might have gone...Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Suddenly, I got a feeling.
The bathrooms. She had to be in there.
I ran over to the girls' bathroom and flung the door open.
*Selena?"
I was answered with silence, but I knew she was in here. I could sense it. I slowly began to walk down the row of stalls and pushed each door open, looking for her.
*Selena, it's safe to come out," I said. "We have a place where we're taking all of the refugees. You'll be safe there. I promise I won't let anything happen to you."
Suddenly, I heard someone clear their throat from the stall at the end.
*Fuck off," Selena growled. Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.
I sighed and walked down to the last stall. When I tried to push the door open, it was locked; but I could see Selena crouching on the toilet through the crack in the door.
*Selena, come on," I begged. "We don't have a lot of time. I'm just trying to keep you safe. The Luna sent those rogues for us. You can't hide on your own."
"I'll be fine," she croaked. "Go away."
A groan rumbled in my throat. "If you don't come out, I'll break down the door and drag you to safety myself. I don't want either of us to die, Selena. Please."
There was a long silence. I could see my sister's wide, blue eyes staring at me through the crack in the door for a long time before she finally jumped down off of the toilet and slowly opened the door. When she opened it, I could see now that she had a knife in her trembling hand.
I held my hands up in surrender and took a step back.
*There's no need for that," I said.
Selena's face darkened. "How do I know you're not trying to play a trick on me or something?"
I sighed. "There's no way I can convince you for certain, and I know that," I replied calmly. "I just need you to trust me. Regardless of everything, you're my twin sister. If the Luna gets her way, we won't have any family left except for each other. I promise I'll protect you, but you need to trust me."
Selena stared at me for a few long moments. For a long time, I wasn't sure if she would make a stab at me, run, or listen to me.
But finally, she lowered the knife and stared down at the floor.
"Fine," she whispered. "I'll go with you."
