Chapter 50

'Shut it Brits, bye Brandon see you when we see". 'That's Britney, say my hi…….". Brandon was sayin over the phone only to be cut off. 'When you see, tell him I got the message '. 'The phone wasn't on speaker". 'Well but I heard everything he said and those he didn't say". 'You can read minds over the phone now?" 'Bruh, I can do more, wanna test?" 'Well girl you're a quack, a big quack". ' It's been a while since you called me that. Ever since you found out I could read minds, you always told Caeser she's a quack, don't trust her, but I have always been accurate". 'Yeah sure you've always been". 'What's with the submission ? Finally realizing your mistakes". 'I'm just more bothered with wherever Brandon might be disappearing to, to argue the toss with you". 'I can help you find out". 'Well, it would be intrusive wouldn't it?" 'Definitely, I mean if he wanted you to know he would have told you. When did you ever care about intrusive or not?" Britney asked looking at Damon weirdly. when choosing a lot when it comes to family sometimes you need to 'Well, I wouldn't know". Bella replied him with a shrug. 'I think you know best". 'How could I?" Bella asked do you know why I always call you quack "Cause taunting me feels good to you". "Yeah, taunting this little sister of mine gives me an indescribable sense of Joy that I just revel in". Damon said, ruffling her hair. "There is no little sister anywhere. You can stop being delusional". Britney retorts, running her fingers through her hair. "Thought you wanted to go fix your look?" " That's right, I totally forgot . How could I have really". "Yeah, how could you have silly". " I won't take the argument any further". "See ya, and please don't send anybody into coma. I know I asked you to do whatever you please but I wouldn't be happy hearing that an honourable elder got his arms broken before a trial". "Imagining Caesar's rage when he gets the news is making it pleasurable". "Please do not, just imagine my frustration, I'll have to start making another plan to cover that up". " I think you'll be glad". "Still just imagine leaving this older brother of yours alone to face Caeser's wrath". "Doesn't he ask after me anymore lately?" "Well he does every time. Wait up, I thought you said you didn't care to know''. "Yeah sure I don't". "Whatever, you'll soon drop your pride". Damon said and hugged her, before letting her go. "Whatever helps you sleep at night". Britney replies with a snort, before walking away. "She just never gets tired of playing the hard girl role does she?" Damon muttered, looking at Britney walk away. Two years after Caeser suddenly adopted a girl, more like, bring home. Britney and Damon had become really close. They were trusted aides to Caesar, therefore always taking care of his most important issues and most times faced the hottest battlefields. Caesar restricted Britney too much. His desire to protect her resulted in him caging her. Always being a dictator and sometimes controlling. On days when Damon wasn't around Brits found it hard to stay with Caesar and one day just left home. That year Caesar turned the entire Darkworld looking for his precious daughter, only for her to return home weeks after unscathed. She and Caesar got into a fight that left her wounded. After asking Damon to tend her wound, he let her leave the house, apparently he now saw his own flaws. The relationship had become bittersweet ever since, as much as both parties loved each other they preferred to love from afar. She knew Damon was there watching her, he always was. The awesome big brother looking after his baby sister, but that was what she hated, that was why she left home. Britney waited until she rounded the corner and was hidden from sight before turning to look back and there he was, her big brother, the boy she loved. 'If only you would still be so caring when you realize I am in love with you, but my biggest joy has become my greatest fear, because loving you just had to be a two edged sword either ways I'm hurt". Britney muttered, the tears she had managed to stop earlier now trickling down her cheeks. 'Wipe them off Brits, the Caesar's don't cry". She muttered to herself, while wiping the unruly tears that had refused to obey her. 'You could have waited for me to offer an handkerchief". A voice says startling her. 'Kol……". 'Sometimes I wonder if it's so hard, why just turn it off?" 'Well maybe because it's the only thing that makes sense lately everything else doesn't '. 'How're you lately?" 'I'm always good". 'With the scene I just saw? I doubt you're anywhere close to good". 'Drop it Kol, I'm off '. Britney said and tried to move but Kol blocked the way. 'Why not tell him? You can act drunk and spill it or you know I could do it for you '. 'Like you did to me?" 'I……" 'I knew all along Kol, I only let you have whatever fragments of dignity was left for you to hold onto". 'We'll call it cowardly but at least it's better than dying inside like this. I was honest, I just wanted a chance to express myself and I did it however way I got". 'Did you ever think that I might be trapped in some kind of way by your selfishness? You knew all along that I loved Damon, but you didn't think twice before trying to burden my minds with your own feelings, I'm not you kol". 'Yeah you're great so keep hurting like this '. 'I'll do it gladly". 'I'm sorry Brit my words were insensible and harsh". 'Tell you a little secret of mine kol, I can read minds. So that day and today I am able to tell fully well the thoughts that went on in your mind. We'll make this discussion as though it never happened '. Britney ended and walked away. THE VEIL ON THE DARK
