Queen of the Night

Part one

I know I said I'd apologize to Marshal but how can I? It feels odd to walk up to him and apologize. The atmosphere is just too tense whenever we are together. I know I really should but it's just too awkward.

I sat in my science class in silence as I glanced at Marshal. I have to go up and apologize! The guilt is weighing heavy on me. HMMMMMM! After school I have to go find him, no, I will go apologize after school, today.

Perhaps I should also apologize to Sirius for my rudeness the other day. I don't even have Salem with me. She doesn't even like me! Why do I feel as if the world is against me?

Lost in thought, Kryta failed to notice the ringing bell and the small crowd of students leaving. Marshal must have seemed to notice this and approached her.

With gentle footsteps, and with soft touch, he tapped Kryta breaking her out of her trance. Surprised and startled, Kryta jumped and turned around.

"Class is over…", Marshal whispered to Kryta. Kryta had a surprised look on her face for a split second before looking down at her school bag. She just couldn't bear to look at him out of the guilt and humiliation.

Even after how she behaved, he still was very kind and gentle to her. She breathed in and back out and stood up. Despite her towering figure over Marshal, he didn't waver nor did he seem to be intimidated.

"Thank you Marshal, I was just thinking about something," She truthfully said. She thought about apologizing but before she could open her mouth to speak, Marshall had already left.

Dejected she leaned down to grab her bag and after that she raised her hand towards her neck. Rubbing the scar on her neck, she sighed. This isn't her body, nor is this her life, it was just something she happened to steal from another innocent soul. How did "Emily" get this scar in the first place...She was told by Reinhardt how but what was it? Should she do the Thomas girl right and find a way back to her timeline or she should be selfish and live this lie?

"So...Wanna join the club?"

Kryta jumped once again startled and looked down to see Sirius. Why is that everyone who she did wrong showing up today?

After setting down and gaining her composure, she raised a brow and asked, "Club? Do you perhaps mean the gardening club?"

Sirius eagerly nodded much like that of a dog. Kryta thought about the first they had met and noticed the big difference from them to now. Before he seemed kind, reserved, shy, gentle, polite. But now he's very energetic, bouncy, a bit rowdy, and much more unkempt.

"Yes! Yes! The gardening club! Shia gave me persimmon despite me not needing it. Since you know, I'm the club leader slash supervisor. But it make it even better since she was very jealous that I brought you over and stuff and she quite angry at me but now she isn't and like I said earlier, she gave me permission to allow you over and perhaps even let you join that is if you'd like?", Sirius exclaimed rather loudly and without pause to catch his breath. His eyes sparkled in hopes Kryta would join. Kryta can practically see the dog ears and tail on him at this point.

I can't believe this was the boy I was scared of, I'm so ashamed.

With a face of no words I just nodded. I kinda regret making that decision now that I see how much hyper he got now.

"Shia will likely hit me but YOU joined! That is all I need to happily die now"

"Please don't"

"Watch me"
