Chapter 274

WILLA

I got to a slow stop in front of my tent. I dug my knuckles into my eyes, almost sure that what I was seeing in front of me was not real. 

It was. I felt my jaw drop in shock

The tent I had left just a few hours ago had been slashed. There were large holes all over the canvas.

Even the tent flap was hanging in tatters. I could see the bag and suitcase containing my things through one of the holes cut into the tent's side.

Slowly the shock gave way to anger. It was like my dorm room all over again. I would be damned if I let whoever did this go scot free.

I did a jerky about face. Most of the other students were returning to their tents.

I pointed an unsteady finger to my tent and shouted, "Who did this to my tent? Who? Someone had better start talking now!"

Everybody looked my way. They followed my pointing finger. Almost all of them seemed surprised. Nobody said anything.

"Who?" I screamed.

A girl who had been tying her shoe laces in front of her tent straightened up.

"We were one of the first to get back," she said and pointed to her friend. "We found your tent like that."

"No idea who did it. Sorry," her friend chipped in.

A passing boy whistled.

"Whoa!" he exclaimed. "Someone really went to town on it."

No one was offering to help but they looked genuinely surprised. I did a slow 360.

Lucian was sitting alone at the far end of the clearing. I didn't think it was him though. Wrecking people's stuff didn't seem to be his style.

My gaze then fell on Naomi sitting crossed-legged on the grass. Riven was standing close to her. Though he wasn't looking directly at Naomi, his lips appeared to be moving.

There was the culprit. I wasn't really surprised. A part of me even knew it had been Naomi all along.

She wasn't sitting close to Lucian as usual and that made me more certain.

All she had needed to set her off this time was Riven telling her he had seen Lucian and I kissing.

For a moment Riven's eyes met mine. He gave me a smug, self satisfied smile before looking away.

I hardly even spared the bastard a thought. I was thinking how could Naomi go as far as doing this?

Without a tent, I couldn't spend one more night out here. Even with the tent and a comfortable sleeping bag last night, going to sleep had been tough.

Arms swinging by my sides, I marched up to Naomi. Riven saw me coming and moved off.  Naomi was inspecting her nails.

"What do you want, wolf girl?" she said without looking up.

"Can we talk?" I said.

It was a struggle to keep from shouting but I managed it.

Naomi studied her nails for a long moment.

"Fine," she finally said.

I led the way to a copse of trees and stopped. None of the others could see us there.

"You slashed my tent," I said. "I know it was you. There are no spare tents. I'm sure you knew that yet you ruined mine. Why?"

Naomi didn't bother to deny it. I was sure she thought as I did that since the field trip's supervisor was her boyfriend, nothing would happen to her even if everyone knew she had wrecked my tent.

"Willa, you really are something, you know? You have the nerve to stand there and ask me why I did it?"

"I told you never to cross my path again," I said. "You didn't listen. I swear I'm not going to let this one slide like the clothes you and those girls tore up."

"Oh yeah? And what are you going to do about it? Report me to the dean? Cut up my own tent?" She laughed. "I would love to see you try. That right there is what happens when you're a cheap little whore throwing yourself at a man you don't deserve. You're damn lucky I didn't have the time to tear up your rags too. Imagine one week out here, wearing the same dirty smelly clothes."

"You're a fucking sadist," I shouted in her face. *A fucking sadist bitch who's always throwing a tantrum whenever things don't go her wa-"

Naomi shoved me. I crashed into the tree behind me. My head slammed against into a sharp slice of rough tree bark.

I felt blood start to run down my neck in weak little rills.

I started to slide down to the ground.

Naomi came at me again. Her lips were peeled back from her teeth in a snarl of rage.

"Call me a sadist again, huh? Why don't you?" she said.
