Chapter 8 - The Dance

 Tonya opened the wardrobe and chose a simple white dress with shades of pink.She combed her hair and put on the high heels that were next to her bed.They were beautiful,white ,and, like the towers, they looked like they were made of crystal.It felt like holding a fragile glass that would easily break.
 She left the room wondering if she should've looked for a gun or a sword in case of running into another demon or creature,but the corridor was empty.Tonya released a scream when someone's hand touched hers.She turned around and saw Andrew standing there,wearing a black suit with a white shirt inside.He is beauteous, she thought.Holding both his hands she came closer to him and gently kissed his cheek.
"You look adorable."-Tonya said,dropping his hands.Andrew's light blue eyes were now riveted on hers.
"Thank you madame."-he said ironically.-"You look lovely aswell.I'll escort you to the hall."
 'Madame'?'Escort'? Tonya wasn't even sure she knew those words!He was being so polite he sounded like a prince!But she wasn't complaining,she liked him to be diferent,to be better.
 When they arrived at the hall,everyone was there already.The music playing was quiet,almost like a lullaby.Tonya quickly spotted Philip, he was sitting on a chair looking down at his glass.He seemed to be unwell,almost sad. Jessica was standing just a few feet away,talking to some friends.When Tonya walked into the room everybody's heads turned to look at her.Of course,I'm human,they're not and they've already noticed it, she thought.
"Can I get you something to drink?"-Andrew asked, but her attention was focused on Philip and she didn't hear the question.
"Go talk to him,it wouldn't harm."-he said,noticing she was looking at his brother.
"I'm not sure he wants to talk to me..."
 Andrew took her hand.
"I've told you a thousand times,he is only trying to protect you!Go and ask him,I know you have a lot to talk about."
 Tonya left Andrew and walked towards Philip ,who was still looking down.She wanted to put a hand on his shoulder but decided not to,after all that had happened.
"Are you allright?"-she asked.
 He didn't answer,instead he turned his head to look at her and she noticed he had been beaten by someone.Or something.
"Your face..."
 He got up and walked away from the hall,she followed him into a room and he locked the door,taking a letter of his pocket and handing it to Tonya.
"Is this true Tonya?"-he asked,looking at her furiously.-"Are you really planning to suicide?"
 Tonya grinned.
"Oh yeah, revenge is a dish best served cold.How does it feel Philip?How does it feel when the one person you care the most lets you down?"
"I can't believe it!"-he said,annoyed.-"You and Andrew planned everything,didn't you?Just the kind of thing he would do for a girl..."
"Wait,Philip..."
"When I pretended not to know who you were I was trying to protect you,to make you go away Tonya!There's more to this world than you know,it's really dangerous!"-As he spoke,tears fell from his eyes.-"I did care about you, but now?You deceived me,you and my brother deceived me!"
 His words echoed in her head.'I did care about you,but now?'. Tonya understood that writting that letter and pretending she was going to suicide had been a bad idea,but she also knew Andrew had nothing to do with it,and now Philip thought he did.
"If you want to,go kill yourself trying to fight demons,I don't care anymore!"-he said,and after that he went through the door and shut it behind him,leaving Tonya alone,once again.
