Bethyinine sat down next to her brother and laid her hand on his shoulder. James looked at her as tears began to form in his eyes.

  ”What have you done?” Bethyinine asked.

  ”I have doomed us all.” James whimpered.

  ”How? How could you have all people have doomed us all?” Bethyinine said.

  James simply looked at Bethyinine and did not bother responding. After a minute he got up and refused to grab his ledger from the desk. Luxcious simply looked at James as he left the room.

  ”Where are you going!” Bethyinine yelled.

  ”Home.” James responded.

  ”Why, are they after you still? What could possibly be a threat now?” Bethyinine asked.

  ”No, or at least not that I’m aware of. Frankly I don’t even know why this “conflict” is already over to begin with. Well, the only threat left is me. ” James replied.

  ”What do you even mean!” Bethyinine said.

  James didn’t even answer and simply stormed out of the room. Bethyinine glanced at Luxcious as the door closed behind James. Luxcious simply looked at her before sitting down at the desk and pulling out a piece of paper and a quill. Bethyinine groaned, laid down on the bed, and stared out the window. Luxcious glanced back at her as he began to write down a series of personal notes.

  Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

  ”Who’s Cassius?” Bethyinine asked.

  ”A friend of mine, James’s identical twin to be exact.” Luxcious lied.

  ”Really? I wasn’t aware he had a brother.” Bethyinine said.

  ”I was.” Luxcious answered.

  Luxcious nodded as Bethyinine got up off the bed and walked over to the desk. She looked down at the paper and immediately recognized the words in front of her. This bastard was cataloging notes on her, and probably without her consent.

  ”How exactly did you get all of these notes?” Bethyinine asked.

  ”James gave them to me.” Luxcious answered.

  ”And he didn’t think to let me know about it!” Bethyinine hissed.

  ”I suppose so, and now that I think about it, he really should have asked first.” Luxcious said.

  “Yes, yes he should have.” Bethyinine replied and sat back down on the bed.

  Luxcious finished writing down his notes and joined her. Bethyinine smiled and playfully pounced onto Luxcious, pinning him to the bed. He looked up at her as fear began to fill his eyes.

  ”What exactly are you going to do to me?” Luxcious asked.

  ”My dear Scholar, you of all people should know what I can do.” Bethyinine responded.

  ”Sorry to divert the conversation, but should we not be concerned with whatever secrets James has!” Luxcious yelled.

  Bethyinine smirked and simply ignored his cries. She was right though; he did know what she was capable of. That single fact alone terrified him to death for he could not anticipate just what exactly she would do to him. Bethyinine chuckled and stroked his chin with one of her claws as her tail swayed overhead. She would enjoy every precious moment of their time, so long as Luxcious was comfortable with it. Luxcious closed his eyes as his senses slowly went dark, the only thing he could feel now was heat. Bethyinine smiled, laid down on the bed, and drifted off to sleep. She satisfied with herself for the time being.
