Chasing The Rejected

Chapter 109

~CLARA-

I reluctantly let Alicia inside the room after watching her cry for over a minute. We walked towards the table and sat there in silence for a while before she spoke;

“My life has always been centered around Damon. Did you know he saved me from some rogues while we were younger?” She questioned and 1 shook my head.

“Damon and I don’t talk about you” I murmured and I knew my words were insensitive because she was already in a depressed mood but !

needed her to know her place.

Surprisingly, she just smiled sadly.

“Yeah I didn’t expect him to. Damon wasn’t really one to show or talk about how he felt but I understood him and I still do” She murmured and I sighed.

“What do you want, Alicia?” I questioned and she pursed her lips then turned to me.

“I’m dying” She uttered and I scoffed.

“You can’t be serious right now. See if this is your way of trying to trick me…”

“I’m not trying to trick you, Clara. Why do you think I came back in the first place? When I left, Damon asked me never to come back all the pack members had already mourned my death and I really wasn’t going to come back but then I caught a very rare disease that has no cure and now, I have just some weeks or a month to live. As A healer, I tried everything and anything to heal myself but I still don’t know what! have so I don’t know what to do about it. All I can do is relieve myself of the pain” She murmured and I frowned.

Could she really be telling the truth?

As if she knew I was doubting her, she raised up her shirt and I gasped when I saw the dark glaring marks on her stomach.

“It used to be just a dot but it’s spreading rapidly now. When it reaches my heart, I’ll die” She murmured and I frowned.

So she was telling the truth after all.

“What do you want from Damon?” I questioned after a while and she smiled sadly.

“Every night, I would sit out and stare at the sky, thinking of how it would be to feel loved and be taken care of by Damon. I know I can’t ask him to love me anymore since he obviously loves you now but can he take care of me at least till I die?” She questioned and my frown deepened.

I still didn’t trust her in the slightest. Hell
