Bab 22: Reptile named Violet.

"Emily, I swear it's not how it looked!" Jake yells in frustration. I stare at him, feeling my heart thumping wildly inside my chest. Jake's features soften instantly as he notices the pain on my eyes. I tear my eyes away from him and set my glare on Violet who's staring me down, a glint in her eyes.

"How dare you!" I yell, the shock wearing off. I storm up to her until our faces are inches away from each other. My teeth are gritted tightly together in anger and I seethe at her, eyes burning red.

"Get away from him." I warn her, my words spoken low. She smirks back at me, equally squaring herself up to my height. She's shorter than me however tries her hardest to straighten herself out to stay eye level with me. Her attempt at intimidating me doesn't work. . . In the slightest.

"It's him who can't stay away from me. I'm irresistible," Violet responds, green eyes shining in amusement.
