《Dark Roses #Wattys2019》Chapter 21
Advertisement
Right when I got home, I walked over to Blaire's house aggravated. At flattop grill I texted Danny wondering if Eli talked to him about what happened during lunch, and he said it dealt with me.
I rung Blaire's doorbell, and then knocked on the door. I have absolutely no patience right now, I need answers. I tried texting and calling Eli to see if he could tell me directly what happened, but he never responded, nor answered the calls.
When Blaire finally opened the door, I walked inside without getting an invite. He then closed it slowly behind me. For once there was no music playing, but what was weird was that all of the blinds were closed throughout the house.
"Rose what's up?" Blaire questioned bringing his hands to his side. I watched him tap his right fingers one by one against his thigh.
"What happened at lunch today?" I asked getting right to the point. I was going to try to stay as calm as possible, hopefully I can as long as Blaire just tells the truth.
Blaire let out a small laugh.
"I don't know what you're talking ab-"
"Don't lie to me Blaire. I already know what happened between you and Eli at lunch today, and I already know that it was about me...can you just..please tell me?" I spoke not trying to come off too harsh.
Blaire's face suddenly went cold, and his voice became bitter.
"Who told you this, Eli?" He questioned taking a step towards me. I stood still and stared directly at him.
"It doesn't matter who told me this, what did you say to him Blaire? I'm trying to ask you in a way where this doesn't lead to an argument. Just tell me."

My heart began to race. Not only is it getting hard to control my emotions, but also hard for me to stand here and talk to him knowing what this can turn into. I don't care though, I need answers and he needs to know that whatever he did is not okay.
Blaire laughed and ran one of his hands through his hair. He looked down at the floor, and then at me.
"I'm just trying to protect you Rose, Eli is a bad guy." He said taking a step closer to me. I took a step back.
"What are you talking about Blaire? I just hung out with him. How would you even know that he's a bad guy?" I questioned raising my voice. He seemed taken back by it, and his attitude began to change.
"You don't get it, do you?" He spoke glaring at me with his piercing blue eyes.
"You're right I don't get it, can you please stop being difficult and try explaining everything?!"
Blaire took a deep breath.
"I don't want you to get hurt. I want to protect you and keep you happy. A friend is trying to help a friend. That's what we're supposed to do!"
"That doesn't give you the right to go and threaten him or whatever you said to him. You must have said something pretty bad to him since he's refusing to talk to me at the moment. Eli and I just started to talk and he's a really great guy. You probably just fucked up all of my chances of really getting to know him! You won't even tell me what you said to him and he won't even tell anyone what you said to him either!" I yelled at him. He lifted up his head a little, and stared down at me.

"I didn't 'fuck up' anything." He spoke in a dark tone that sent disturbing chills down my spine. It seemed like I was talking to a totally different person right now, crazy person that is.
"He's the biggest heartbreaker in school, everybody knows it. The rumors, the lies, the exposures, I'm sure knowing who you hang around he's fucked 3 out of the 5 people in your pathetic group. Maybe even you too, in the car right? I mean that's where you guys spent almost 20 minutes in right?"
Blaire took a couple steps towards me, I was completely speechless.
"I can't believe you would rather talk to that fucking cunt over me!" Blaire yelled slamming his fist down on a decorative table that was right next to him. It was now clear that this all happened over jealousy, not to "protect" me from anyone.
I felt my voice begin to shake, I'm furious.
"If we're going to believe that people are who they are off of rumors......" I begin to speak. I was not going to hold back. I just came to his house for a simple answer, and he just crossed the line.
"I guess you killed Alison then, right?....What should I call you instead of Blaire....killer?" I finished while taking a step towards him. I watched Blaire turn stone cold. I think I'm forgetting that I'm in a house alone with a mentally ill individual, and I probably just said the most hurtful thing to him as a friend.
Also, he's blocking the doorway.
"Leave." He spoke darkly. I gulped and continued to look at him. I then began to walk towards the door.
Because the house was so big and now currently silent, the sounds of my shoes walking against the floor echoed all throughout the rooms and hallways.
Once I reached the door, I turned around only seeing Blaire facing the opposite direction of me. What I said to him was probably a little too low.
"Blaire...-"
"-I said leave!" He shouted still not turning around. I shook a little from the sudden surprise of his voice, and then opened the door.
When I stepped outside and closed the door, the sun was just setting, and I could see my parents just pulling into the driveway getting home from work. They seemed to be in a happy mood, maybe something good happened today.
I began to walk to my house to see if I could join in on the mood, but I know the thought of what just happened will be on my mind for a couple of hours.

Volume 1 of Fates Parallel is on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited! Check it out here! Also available on Audible! Volume 2 of Fates Parallel is on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited! Check it out here! Also available on Audible! After centuries of endless wars, the three greatest nations of the continent have come together in peace. As a symbol of their cooperation, they have worked together to establish the Grand Academy of Spiritual, Martial, and Arcane Arts, a place where the best and brightest of each nation can gather on neutral ground and share knowledge, techniques, and cultures. Can the peace truly last, or is the academy just another proxy for the constant conflicts the three nations face? None of that matters to Lee Jia, a homeless young girl who's biggest concern is surviving the winter. But when she accidentally stumbles into the academy in search of a new place to stay, her destiny is changed forever. Determined to carve out a new place for herself and make the most of her good fortune, Lee Jia dives head first into the world of magic and martial arts. Fates Parallel is my first serious attempt at writing a story, and a personal love letter to Eastern fantasy and xianxia stories. It's heavily inspired by East Asian culture, folklore, and mythology, with what is likely going to be a decidedly Western artistic license. I try to write every day, with a goal of about 45,000 words per month (~1500 per day). Chapter lengths are around 3000 words on average, releasing on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

If you are new, don't worry too much about the first step of the series. Truly, this second part aims to cover most of what was done there. Those that have read it will know a few secrets and plot points before we see them. Though it shouldn't detract from your reading of this one. Honestly, the first one was a bit rough, but do as you will. I will warn that this will tackle some serious topics and might end up getting rather explicit in terms of what is done or seen by the characters. There is a bit to cover, so I'll explain what I can between chapters without overloading anyone, hopefully. -Cover Art drawn by Cozie [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Into the Feywild
I've never considered myself to be much of a fighter. In fact, I had no notion what it was all about. I couldn't envision a war amongst people, especially my own. In this odd realm, a timid half-elf has little chance of success. Especially with minimal experience. I've only fought as a means of survival, self-defense, if you will. I had known only humans, so the concept of elven culture and family was foreign to me. And yet, here I am, in the midst of a tremendous battle between two Feys and a God. I never planned for things to turn out this way, or for me to get caught in the great shambles of war—a conflict between good and evil. My two companions are practically strangers to me, knowing nothing but my name. This journey was not something I had planned or wished for, but it was what the Gods gave me.◈ ◈ ◈Meli, a young half-elf traveling the Material Plane, is unexpectedly captured while on her travels, only to become a member of an odd group of individuals. Crane, an older wizard castaway from his college for practicing unnatural magic, and Kurky, a youthful and lively gnome who is as fascinating as they come. Meli's curiosity gets the better of her as she chooses to accompany them on their not so concrete journey into the Feywild. Little did they know of the constant war raging within this woodsy plane. Maybe Meli will discover everything she's been looking for, embracing love and pleasure along the way. Or perhaps she'll become a part of something bigger. © Copyright to EmmeMeadows 2021
