Chapter 2

Unhealthy Rivalry.

~Lenora~

Pain seared through my body from where I had fallen. My palm stung. My knee burned against the cold floor.

“I didn’t push her,” I said, forcing myself to speak. “She tried to take my things and when I refused, she pushed me! And then she fell and started screaming…”

Eleanor sobbed even harder, hiding her face against Vincent’s chest. “It’s all my fault. I didn’t mean to make her angry. I just wanted to see what she was holding, I’m so sorry. Please don’t blame her…”

That was all it took for my words to dissolve completely in their ears. They turned angrily to me.

“You’re seriously lying to us again, Lenora?”  Vincent said incredulously.
