Chapter 12: Childhood Friend Turned Body Guard?
***Time skip
I'm walking down the stairs outside of the library in a complete daze. I don't remember what else the sphere ball said. But I can hear Meg endorsing comforting words beside me. While also feeling the intensity of Yoongi's eyes on my back.
"Bethana!"
I was brought out of my thoughts. To see Jordie, Shania and Josey standing at the bottom of the stairs.
"What happened? You're so pale" asked Shania coming to stand before me at the bottom off the stairs.
"Who do I have to hurt.." Spoke Josey glancing with killing intent
towards Yoongi. Whom was making his way down the stairs.
"No one corporeally... Actually I'm greatly relieved that I had Yoongi and Meg's presence". I said glancing gratefully towards Meg and eyes lingering on Yoongi's form.
<Stepping down off the last stair>
"Hey! Bro" spoke an unkown guy with silvery gray hair and a radiating smile. Whom threw his arm on the shoulder of another unkown guy. Who also had silvery hair but blue tints to it.
This last guy gave us a wave and a boxy smile. "Hi. I'm Tae and this is Hoseok."
The guy named Hoseok winked at us and stated, "Mind if we borrow Yoongi?"
"Definitely not. Please take him' said Josey given a dismissal wave of her hand.
"Bethana?!?!"
I jerked my head to the sudden voice. To see a guy with light brown hair with golden streaks that shinned in the sunlight. He was striding over to me with purpose. The guy had glacier blue eyes and freckles running across his right cheekbone, over his nose and over his left cheekbone.
"He's familar...." I thought. As I was dragged into a hug by him.
But I still kept my body rigged throughout the hug.
"Oh". He said, "Come on. Don't tell me, you don't remember me. I'm sad. Since we grew up together. Well it may have only been 5 yrs but still...." 🥺
Eyes expanding with shock as memories ransacked my brain. The memories of childhood play dates. That had seemingly been erased long ago by someone unknown to me at this time.
"Logan..." I spoke quietly, only loud enough that he heard.
Pulling back a short distance. He gave me a shy smile.
"Yeah... I always knew you were somewhere in this world and 16 years later here you are".
"Haha yeah." I said shurgging off his hands that were resting on my shoulders.
I stepped back and glanced around at my friends, the two new arrivals, and lastly stopping on Yoongi's appearance. Whom was staring at Logan with a very intense stare and his tongue visibly pushing against his cheek.
Seeming to feel my eyes on him. His eyes darted to mine.
"Bethana." My attention again drawn to Logan.
He continued with, "However, glad I am to see you. I'm actually here because I was assigned to you. I received a Glider[1] about my first charge." said Logan.
"Charge?" I asked.
"Well I'm your guardian or so to speak Bodyguard" he said with his chest puffed up.
"Ha. You're just an amateur. This is so to speak. A training session for you" said Yoongi.
"Hey watch it, Yoongi. We may be in the same Year but were also in different Sects and obviously I don't have to like you. Nor do you have the right to make me lose face[2].
"Humph! Someone else not agreeing with Yoongi's snarky comments" said Josey. "Should you be judging him?" asked Shaina. Which instigated a debate between the two.
However, I chose to stay silent in the matter and not speak up. Since my incident with the greenish fire. My opinion of Yoongi has changed ever so slightly. The saying not to judge a book by it's cover. Never fit a person as much as it applied to Yoongi. Also, even Yoongi, himself said that I couldn't comprehend him.
Glancing back to Yoongi with gratitude for his help today. Even though he didn't want to tag along. He was still someone I ended up relying on today.
Again we made eye contact and Yoongi's eyes expanded slightly. I thought he would make a comment hatever comment but it never came. Shortly afterwards he broke our eye contact followed by an assertive nod. Seeming like he was satisfied at the moment with the situation. Then he turned around bumping his shoulder into Tae. While saying, "Let's see what trouble you guys caused this time".
Watching Yoongi's back fading. I was jarred back to my surrounds by Shaina. Whom encircled my neck with her left arm. Thus drawing her mouth to my right ear. "Rare for Yoongi to not make an ending remark. You've got to tell me what happened between you and him" she said releasing me.
"So where shall I escort you my lady." said Logan with an old fashioned bow.
"To our rooms if you don't mind" spoke Shania with a smile.
*End of Flash back: Monday Morning
I'm still sitting in the windowsill of Meg's single dorm room.
I have turned my head from looking outside. To glance down at the watch on my left wrist which Logan had given me Sunday morning.
Logan had left us the moment we had gotten to the female dorms. Nit given me the change to ask more about our history nor more about my family. However, before he left. He had asked for my hand.
Remembering back when I hesitantly stretched out my left arm and he had strapped on the watch. However, before leaving he stated, "think of this as a smartwatch. Except, specially fae enhanced" then winked at me.
