Wish you didn't have to suffer
Alanis.
The Elis leave and father asks me into his office. I have been stalling because talking to him means explaining everything that has happened to me. I am not saying he was right, but there are some things that are happening that make me think he is, not that anything would've changed if I actually knew the outcome of the ritual.
''Come in,'' he urges me as he walks in and stops in front of his desk. The room is dark except for a little lamp on the table next to his chair.
I walk into the room and the expression on his face is not inviting. I know he is not happy with me.
''Darrien did the ritual too,'' he mutters blankly as I sit down in front of him.
Oh. The source of his anger is not me. Darrien didn't tell him, maybe that is why he is so upset right now.
''Yes, we did it together.''
