NOVEL NEXT Chapter 13: Out
Emily walked down the hall way as she adjusted the dress on her. She now looked like nyx and it felt nice not being her for a moment. It was easy to carry out the plan and she was happy for that.
No one would realize her flaw unless Nyx stared at her deep in the eyes, they couldn't switch back. As she stood in the presence of the crowd, she smiled as she walked up the long flights of stairs leading to where Lucien was.
Lucien was getting anxious when he couldn't talk to the guard telepathically. He soon saw Nyx wall up the stairs, he sighed out a breath of release as he pulled her into the arms.
"Did anything go wrong? You stayed awfully long in the bathroom? Where is Milly and the guard who went along with you?" Lucien asked suspiciously as Emily looked up at him with a small smile. She couldn't believe this was how he spoke to nyx.
"I'm fine Lucien, I couldn't open the door for a while but it was fine later and Millie left with the guard. I don't know where they went" Emily looked at the crowd. So many of them, were looking up at her including the men. She smiled, loving the extra attention.
"Oh. We'll stay beside each other for now till the event is over" Lucien said as he pulled Emily to seat down. As they sat beside each other, Emily stole glances at Lucien countless of times as he looked over the crowd seriously as if looking for someone.
"Why do you keep staring at me?" Lucien suddenly asked. When Nyx had gotten back from the toilet, she looked a bit weird but he thought it was just his eyes so he couldn't quite understand why she was acting this way.
"Uhm, nothing" Emily's cheek flushed pink as she looked away. Lucien thought she was shy and soon let go off the topic.
Soon the event came to an end as the sun started to rise. The guests flooded out of the hall, Emily sat there watching them, this was the moment she was waiting for, their wedding night.
"I think we should head inside nyx, so you could rest" Lucien said as he stood up. Emily reluctant but also much excitedly stood up as she nodded at him.
Nyx opened her eyes slowly as she blinked adjusting to the light. What had just happened? She asked herself as she stood up from the cold floor, she was still in the toilet and as she looked into the mirror a gasp left her lips.
"That conniving bitch" Nyx yelled inwardly as she ran her finger through the thick locks of blonde hair. What would she do now? Another woman who was impersonating her was currently in her place and with the look of things is going to spend the night with her husband.
Nyx didn't want to go down this way, she couldn't allow Emily have her way this time and she wouldn't ever allow another woman carry her husband's child.
Nyx flushed as her words replayed in her head. She didn't think she would be so possessive of Lucien like this.
She looked around the room as she spotted a iron bar, she didn't know what it was doing in here but she used it to smash on the lock of the door. Countless of times, she swung at the door, trying to knock it down or at least get it to open.
Emily sat in front of the mirror as she looked at herself. She had showered in a separate room and had put on a see through white lingerie with a white coat to cover it up. She applied a cinnamon scented body oil on her body as she waited for Lucien to step out of the bathroom.
Lucien felt something unusual about this room, a faint scent of blood and a musk of cinnamon floated into his nose. He noticed nyx sitting in front of the mirror as he walked towards her. The scent soon became strong and he knew that something was off about her.
"Why are you still sitting down, Nyx?" Lucien said as he approached her. His foot steps sounded like that of a hunter approaching it's prey.
"I can't sleep, I want to spend the night with you. It's supposed to be our special night" Emily stood up from the chair, a gleam flashed through her eyes as she walked towards him. She stood beside him, her hand around his neck as she gazed into his eyes.
"It's special for us but I don't want to take advantage of your vulnerable state or when you're trying to do this to please me. I'm fine honestly" Lucien assured nyx as he kissed the bridge of her nose fondly.
Nyx who was locked in the toilet couldn't take this, her heart raced against her rib cage as she took a deep breath. Her hair turned to the unfamiliar shade of deep black and the front had streaks of red, her canine's had grown slightly long as they shone in the moon's glow, her eyes had turned pure red, her fingers had turned into claw.
She walked towards the door and without thinking, she threw herself at the door, smashing it immediately. Lucien was startled by the noise but as he wanted to turn, nyx grabbed his face making him look at her.
"What was that noise?" Lucien asked her but she just smiled at him, gazing at his lips. Emily knew someone or something was behind them but she needed to keep him from looking.
"It's nothing" Emily said as she immediately slammed her lips on his. Nyx who was blinded by rage and the immense power flowing through her couldn't take it. She walked hastingly towards Lucien and the fake nyx as she ripped him off her. Nyx immediately stared into the eyes of her double and Emily's eyes widened as she slowly returned back to her true form.
"Go to hell bitch" nyx immediately slammed her head on Emily's making her stumble backwards in pain.
