Mind Games

Valerie walked out of the forest her mind pondering what the lady had said back in the forest. She just couldn't believe it, it was the truth then it meant more for them.It was already problematic having to stick yo Tricia and follow her everywhere since their first year in University.It would be a lie if she said that she wasn't envious of the girl.What Was so good about her any where's; although she had been born into a wealthy family, for goodness sake her parents died or should she put in a way that will make her feel good were burnt and she had to be rescued by that antsy pantsy nanny. Well, her death served her right. In her next life, she wouldn't try sticking her neck in issues she should not and would rather save only herself.

That wasn't even all, she had to be taken in by another family who were so out of this world making her live the life of a sheltered princess.And now, she always had to be baby sitting her to make her powers don't surface.She had been ordered to befriend her right since their first year so as to suppress her powers and she had been doing that while also trying to get close to the Withhealds. Although Tricia was not their child, she had witnessed how the withheald fa my loved her like she was one of them. The fact that Mrs Withheald even priotized her over her sons just because she couldn't have a daughter. compared to her who had,a hateful family and had to grow up struggling to fend for herself.

It has Always been her dream to get into Central University so when the opportunity showed itself, she grabbed it without any hesitation only that her cost was to live a life of pretense which she had been doing for close to three years now and some how it has merged yo become part of her.

She had a long die hard crush on Edward Withheald who was a sweetheart in almost every lady's dreams, but it seemed that he was only interested in her bestie who was supposed to be his foster sister. It pained her so much it time she saw the both if them together and that only increased the jealousy in her heart.She had to play it calm and pretend like she was interested in Xavier so Tricia wouldn't feel insecure about her.She had been watching and waiting and by all cost would achieve her aims, right now all she needed was patience.

As she passed by the statue of the dragon that had water flowing from its mouth at the center of the University, she glances at the time on her mobile cause she knew she had lectures in few minutes time.she had to attend lectures for reasons, one being that she had to pass to the next year which was their last year in the Universe and second so Tricia doesn't get suspicious of her.

"That's if she isn't Already suspicious!"

A little voice chips in her head.

Speaking about the princess, her mobile immediately vibrates and she looks on yo realize that the call was actually from her.

"Seems like someone is missing me already!"

She smirks and ignores the call as she wasn't in the mood to lie through her teeth. She looks towards the side of the statue and notices three girls sitting on the pavement.She had come to notice them always sitting there each she passed there like they didn't any other thing to do as they were in the same year and had seen them most times attending the same lectures with her and Tricia. But then, that was not what made her notice them. it was the fact that each time she encountered them, they gave out a sought of familiar feeling which she couldn't possibly place her hands on.Next time she met with the lady, she was going to ask her how to identify when one was a witch. She wondered if the weren't going to attend the lecture as they seemed like they weren't planing to move from there any time soon.That was not her business as she clearly had other things that needed her attention. She glances at her mobile phone that was vibrating for the third time and snorts, she wouldn't be attending the lectures as she had something to attend to immediately.

As Valerie passed by the three girls who sat on the pavement, one of them commented.

"Why do you think that lady's walking alone today, did she somehow fight with that Wilton girl?"

"That's not our business Vivienne, but she seems a little suspicious to me!"

"Why do you say that Lot?"

And the blonde haired girl just shrugs.

"Don't know, just my inner feeling." "And we are all aware that there's lectures in ten minutes time but she seems to be heading in another direction. Who knows what she's up to!"

Vivienne pauses her lips at the response and seems to be thinking when the black haired girl who hadn't spoken a word since suddenly pipes in.

"She seems to me like someone who is hiding too many secrets, and she doesn't seem normal!"

She twitches her lips and foods her hands holding it to her chest as she watches the lady walk further away.

She had noticed one or two interesting things about the lady, and one of them being the fact that she liked lurking around the forest alone and as far this era was concerned, it meant that she had some shady things she was doing which Always needed her to be there.She wouldn't was she was an angel herself as she had committed many atrocities, but then no sane human would boldly step deeply into the forest continually knowing the danger that lurked within it unless he or she was courting death. She knew one or two things which went on inside the forest AND she wouldn't say they were nice things. The girl looked or rather pretended to look normal but she knew there was more to what she showed people.

Since the lady hadn't done anything to cross her yet, she would just pretend like she didn't notice anything.After all, everyone was just trying to save themselves while dealing with the other. Nobody would like for their covers to be blown. For now, she would just keep watching as everyone had goals and wanted something.
