Crossing The Line |Sequel To Not Your Lap Dog|

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Reggie

I hear the sound of footsteps behind me and I turn quickly.

"It's done," I hear a voice say and it takes a minute for it to register. "I assure you, he is in the worst pain imaginable," Edgar says and I smirk.

"What did you do," I ask.

He let's out a chuckle. "You'll see soon enough. Now go home get some rest. Tomorrow will be a big day," he says and vanishes.

I smirk. This will be great.

...

I wake up and get dressed quickly. I have to make sure that I don't look like I know what's going on. I'll just say I was up all night drinking. I get in my car and drive to school. When I arrive everyone turns to stare at me but then look away.

I walk inside and nobody seems to be speaking or anything. Everyone just seems mute, like they didn't want to speak about anything. Didn't think that many people cared about that witch. I go to my locker and begin to unlock it until I feel something strike my face. 

"What the fuck," I yell and I see Cheryl standing there, teeth sharp and claws extended. "What the hell bitch," I say and she growls before tackling me. It takes a minute to get her off of me, including sinking my teeth into her shoulder. She let's out a cry and grips her arm. I turn and walk away deciding not to even acknowledge whatever the fuck that was.

"Do you know why the fuck Cheryl just attacked me," I ask Moose when I get to his locker. He stares at me, eyes empty. He just turns and walks away. "What the fuck man," I yell and then turn and see a whole fucking group of people approaching  me. Betty is in front and instead of her claws or teeth or anything, she holds a knife. Next to her is Archie whose claws are extended and eyes are practically glowing yellow. Behind her is every Serpent that Braeden had any contact with.

"What the fuck? I haven't done anything," I yell out but it seems to fall on deaf ears. "What the fuck did I do," I ask. There's no way they know about my conversation with Edgar.

Suddenly I feel arms grab me from behind and flip me onto the ground. I let out I groan but then feel something ten times more painful pierce my hand. "You deserve this for what you've done," Betty growls. "Do you realize what you've done? He will never move on from this," she says and I can see the tears begin to fall. "You took the last thing he had," she whispers.

"What the hell are you talking about," I yell and I feel a foot against my neck.

"Don't play dumb Mantle," Sweet Pea growls and I stare in horror.

"He'll be fine. He'll move on eventually," I say and everyone seems to freeze.

"What did you just say," Archie growls and I feel Sweet Pea's feet release off my neck but suddenly Archie's hand is around my neck. "You think this is a fucking joke. He will never be okay again," he says.

"Its just the witch. He hated him anyways," I say as Archie begins to squeeze his hand shut.

"Don't fucking lie to us," Betty growls. "His mother is dead and you sick fuck killed her just because he moved on," she says and I feel all the blood drain from my face.

"What," I whisper. Did Edgar....? He was supposed to kill Luke. I never wanted this.

"You didn't do it. Did you," Betty whispers. I can't move. I'm paralyzed. I try to answer but nothing comes out.

I feel myself get lifted off the ground and I see Fangs in front of me. "You know something don't you," he growls. "You thought Luke was dead. Which means you know who the fuck did this? So fucking answer or I will kill your right fucking now," he hisses and I take a few shaky breaths.

"I didn't know. He tricked me. He played me. He used me," I whisper.

"Who," Fangs yells.

"Edgar," I whisper and he drops me.

"He's here," I hear a female voice say. Everyone looks at Jasmin who's crying now with her mouth covered.

"I need to see him," I say and everyone turns to me. "Please. Let me see him," I whisper and Betty leans down to look in my face. She grabs it roughly.

"You're the reason this happened. So go rot in hell Reggie. I wont kill you. You dont deserve death because that's too quick but if I ever see you again, I will make sure that what happens to you is far worse then what you caused," she says and drops my head.

"Let's go. He needs the people who actually love him," Archie says and with that they leave.

I collapse onto the ground and begin to sob. It's my fault. It's all my fault.
