"Yeah, yeah, I know," she said dismissively with a wave of her hand and a dirty glare in her eyes. "I've given you plenty of reasons not to trust me."

I fell silent. She was right; she had given me, and everyone else, countless reasons not to trust her.

"But it is possible for you to gain my trust," I said softly. "We're sisters."

Selena stared at me for several long moments. Her eyes were slightly wide, as though I had once again surprised her by being gentle with my words. It almost felt as though she had expected me to be just as nasty and evil as she had been.

"So what?" she asked, finally turning to face me fully. "You want me to prove myself or something?"

I nodded and shrugged at the same time. "Yeah, sort of. If you can prove to me that you're not just gonna use your powers to hurt people again, then I'll happily turn you back into a werewolf."

For a long time, Selena was quiet as she chewed the inside of her cheek. Her blue eyes were the only thing that kept me from feeling as though I was looking into a mirror. Honestly, her blue eyes were pretty. They stood out starkly from her dark hair.

Finally, after a long time, Selena opened her mouth and spoke.

"I know this probably won't be enough to make you trust me, but I'll say this: the Luna has an army of those special rogues. But they're all connected to her."

My eyebrows raised at this information. I opened my mouth to ask what she meant exactly, but it seemed as though I had already exhausted my time with Selena. Without another word, she hiked her bag strap up on her shoulder and stormed off, disappearing between the tall bookshelves. I stared after her for a minute, chewing my lip, before I finally sighed and headed out the door.

The air was cold as I began to walk back to my dorm, but it felt nice after being inside all day and it helped me think. I needed to know what Selena meant when she said that all of those special rogues were connected to the Luna... Surely that information would be extremely helpful if we wanted to take the Luna, and thus the Crescents, down. But I didn't know enough yet. I needed to see if I could get Selena to tell me more, and soon, before it was too late.

As I walked across the quad, I looked up to see a familiar face waiting for me at the fountain. It was Enzo. He stood and walked over to me with his hands in his pockets and shot me a cheeky smile. Cóntent belongs to NovélDráma. Org

"I thought you'd be walking home right about now," he said. "Wanna come to my place tonight instead?"

"Um, sure," I replied, managing a smile despite the millions of thoughts whirling around in my head. But I couldn't help but glance over my shoulder as we walked, and Enzo noticed.

"What is it?" he asked, putting his arm around me.

I shook my head. "It's nothing. I just ran into Selena, and she said something interesting; she said that the Luna is 'connected to these genetically engineered rogues. But I don't know what that means exactly. I mean, she might not even be telling the truth, but..."

Enzo stopped in his tracks and looked down at me. "That's not 'nothing", Nina," he said. "That's crucial information. We have to get more. Maybe we should interrogate-"

"No!" I blurted out, surprising even myself with my urgency. "No. We need to give her time... If we push her too much, she'll never tell us anything."

For a few moments, Enzo looked at me with disbelief on his face.

"C'mon," I said, punching his arm playfully. "Didn't you just tell me that you think I'm capable?"

Enzo looked down at the ground and chuckled, then nodded. "Yeah, I guess I did say that, didn't I?" he said.

With that, he slipped his arm back around me and we began to walk to his dorm just as snow began to fall.
