ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ １３

"Move that here, please一 Wait! You! Not that way, the flowers go there. And, you, move the wine to over there." A man dressed finely in a suit, clipboard in hand, demanded about to rushing, working men and women.

[name] found it hard to walk with her arms slung around the rather large flower vase that she was currently hugging will all of the willpower she had. Just carrying the flower vase was heavy enough一 If she had to carry one of the wine crates, then she would probably be actually knocked off of her feet.

After setting the last vase she had down, she heard another person call her from a distance. "[name], that's all of the flowers! You can take your break now."

"Yes, thank you!"

Today had been the day of the wine festival. [name], who's leg had gotten better since it got cut, casually walked away from the central square after having to run back and forth with decorations in hand. She settled herself with a sigh, trudging up the lone stairs into an empty alleyway, back to the Knights HQ like she had promised Kaeya before.

Suddenly she felt a sharp, hard tap knock against the side of her head. She toppled over at the impact falling onto her knees. Her head ached, vision blurring briefly. She raised a hand to touch the side that had been hit, flinching in the process. A red substance was marked onto her fingers.

Blood, and just when she her latest injury had healed up.

"Oops! Sorry, my hand slipped."

There was a hint of hate and mock in her voice that made [name]'s mouth taste distasteful. Two shiny, red coated heels eventually made way over her echoing clacking noises after her. One of the shoes made contact with the bottom of [name]'s chin lifting her face up.

"Wow.... How disgusting. You really haven't changed one bit, now have you, you pig."

Her vision remained hazy still after being hit unexpectedly on the head, therefore she couldn't completely see the face of the person but she knew her voice.

"Guinevere..." [name] whispered. She stumbled, swayed and struggled in her attempt to get off of the ground.

Guinevere pushed her roughly by the shoulder as soon as she managed to properly get back onto her feet. [name]'s instincts were now wary after getting hit. She managed to hold herself from falling backwards, glaring at her with a cleared up vision.

"What the hell is your problem?" A question that came uncared for.

The blonde smiled sarcastically, crossing an arm one the other. "I thought that maybe something grand happened to you, but I guess the rumors in town may be wrong: you are just a fucking mutt living under a rug, after all.

[name] scoffed attempting to push herself passed Guinevere, but Guinevere's hand come up again and pushed [name] back once more.

"The house hasn't been cleaned in awhile一 Go clean it."

This made [name]'s face furrow in disbelief. "Excuse me?"

"My friends are coming over for a bit before the festival starts. I want it spotless before they do.

[name] stared at her for a bit, attempting to walk passed her when she was pushed back again.

"Hey, you fucking bitch, are you fucking deaf?" Her legal step-sister in name stepped close to [name], trying to intimidate her.

"What." [name] deadpanned just as angrily.

Guinevere crossed an arm over the other. "Ms. Rosa said that you haven't been coming to the classes for weeks, so she we have the option of kicking your ass out of school. It would be a shame if we suddenly decided to throw all of your hard work down the drain."
