Strings of Fate

Chapter 228

Bellamy 7- Fallen and funny

Seeing Ryann’s room for the first time is very telling. For all that she appears to live a very solitary lifestyle, her room is one of comfort. Somewhere to relax and forget her worries. Oddly it reminds me a lot of Megan’s room, and a little of mine. She glares at me thinking my smile is mocking and I rush to assure her that it’s not. This is the room of someone who wants warmth and comfort but doesn’t know where to get it. No wonder she was so eager to become friends with Megan.

“I spoke to my sister. If you don’t object. I’ll stay here tonight and in the morning we can head to the compound together. I believe you made plans to meet up with my sister?” I confirm and Ryann nods, she tilts her head curiously.

“She didn’t think it was weird that you were only dropping me home now?” She asks. I’m actually surprised that she didn’t. My sister isn’t stupid, but she didn’t say a word about it. Her concern probably outweighed her curiosity.

“As far as she knows, the whole point of you being around is to find a mate for me. It makes sense that we would spend some time together. Besides, I started with, Ryann and I have been attacked by Vampires. I don’t think she had much time to process anything else. Hopefully it won’t occur to her later.” I have no idea what Ryann’s plans are but she’s tired, I should let her rest.

“If you’ll loan me a blanket and let me steal a couple of those pillows, I’ll make myself comfortable on the floor. You’re exhausted, you should get some sleep.” She refuses and to my surprise, invites me to join her on the bed to watch a movie. She insists and I don’t have it in me to argue. The show we watch is dull and my mind wanders.

“What is it?” Ryann asks and I realise that i have been staring at her. I quickly search for a response and my eyes call on her marking.

“I was just looking at your mark. I really haven’t seen anything like it before.” I tell her. So that’s not exactly what I was thinking, but it’s not a lie and I am curious about it.

“I haven’t seen anyone with a mark like mine either. I’m an unknown Magic, life would certainly be easier if I could find someone else who is the same as me.” She sighs like this is something she has considered many times before and accepted reluctantly.
