SWNOVELS Chapter Warrior 119
Chapter 119
RYN
I went upstairs and the moment I entered the office; I found Sadie placing an ice pack on Miro's head while a bloody paper towel was rolled up in one of his nostrils. I became riddled with concern as I approached them and found Miro, sitting on the sofa with his "What happened?" I asked.
eyes
closed.
"I don't know." She answered, her expression that of worry. "Ever since he fixed you, he's not been okay."
I looked down at Miro, instantly feeling bad for him,
This is it. This is what I do. The people that care about me always end up hurt and in pain. Why do I have to be such a burden?
Miro was right. I am trouble. I see it now why he wanted me to stay away from Theon. I see why he hates me. He knows I'm trouble and now he's wounded because of me. What would Theon think when he comes back? Will he blame me? Will he finally see me for who I am?
I looked at Sadie. "Is a doctor coming?"
"Healer Kwan just left. He gave him a drip and some meds and said he will be fine in a few days."
At that, I sighed in relief. Then I realized, I forgot to collect my pendant from Adam yet again. Mentally groaning, I looked around for my phone and when I couldn't find it, I turned to Sadie. "Have you seen my phone?"
Instantly, her face went red as she avoided my eyes. "I haven't seen it."
Saule
I heard her heart beat faster as she focused on her cousin. "Yeah?"
"What did I tell you about lying?"
Sadie sighed, and left the ice pack on her cousin's head, before facing me. "I don't think having your phone right now is a good idea."
I frowned. "Why not?"
"Just trust me. It's best right now."
"If this were any other day, I would have loved to but right now, I need to make some calls. So," I stretched my hand forward. "give me my phone."
Sadie looked worried as she pulled it from her back pocket and handed it to me. "That girl's video sparked some really bad attention." She stated. "I've been blocking and deleting for an hour." Curious, I turned on my phone and to my suprise, I had over eight-seven missed calls, messages going over two hundred and more still dropping.
In the preview of one message, someone was cussing me out and wishing me ill. In another message, someone practically promised to 'gut me like a fish'
I glanced at Sadie who seemed to be on the verge of tears. "I am so sorry." She said.

I faced my phone, and tried to ignore the messages so I could call Adam. Due to notifications dropping, I accidentally clicked on Instagram and was redirected there. I shouldn't have gone there - especially the notifications tab.
A lot of bad comments were left under my photos. Some were speculating that my beauty was fake and I probably had work

done. Some said they supported me and now regret it.
Others tried to defend me but a particular comment shot through me like a bullet and made me lean against the table for support. max20499
0499 commented, "I heard she was so wful her parents tried to run away and abandon her. Unfortunately, they died. Who knows if she had something to do with it." That comment had five hundred and fourty one likes. "Are you okay?": Sadie asked, silencing the thousands of voices taking over my mind.

"Yeah. I'm fine." I shrugged, then I began to slowly walk away. "Prince Theon asked me to meet him downstairs." I lied, "be right back."

without waiting for her reply. I dashed out of the room and went downstairs. At this point, all I could hear was the rush of my own heartbeat in my ears.
As soon as I made my way to the ground floor, some students stood in groups, watching a video on their phone and then they saw me and began to whisper amidst themselves. Faces that smiled at me just hours ago now frowned and looked at me suspiciously.
I looked away from them, quickening my feet. The sudden urge to disappear clustered in my mind, taking root and increasing my sense of isolation. Soon everyone will hate Ryn especially when they find out what she did to survive.
I thought my feet would take me outside the school premises and away foreever but instead it led me to the one place I've called home for years.
The janitor's closet.
I paused, standing outside of it, my hand lingering on the k***ob. Then I opened it and went inside.
Closing the door behind me, I noticed very little had changed and like a homesick child, I raced to where I used to curl up and sleep and sat with my knees pulled up.
Something about this space made me feel safe and and for the first time since the incident that occured in the boy's locker room, I 'exhaled.
Like a moth to a flame, I went back to max20499's comment and tapped on the comments under it. My heart shattered when I saw strangers whom I barely knew agree and even add some lies to their gossip.
As if that wasn't enough, I came across the hashtag #RabidRyn - several times, so I tapped on it. To my terror, I realized the hashtag already had four thousand posts under it.
Gods! Who are these people?!
I scrolled on the posts, my heart breaking some more each time I saw videos about me and commentaries, all because they wanted to trend. News outlets had even joined in, putting my face in their graphic post. FIRST FEMALE ELITE TRAINEE EXPOSED FOR ATTEMPTING TO MAUL BEST FRIEND TO DEATH!' What the f***k?!
watched in horror as more and more posts had something to say about me. Then I saw a video from Bessie under the username - bessieboo amd it had sixteen thousand four hundred and eighty three likes. It automatically began to play.
"Hi guys." She said, and it seemed she recorded this video in front of the school building during the games. "My name is Bessie and I am a student of Lycantide High. So if there is anyone who is qualified to have something to say about that b***h? It would be me." "Oh gods. Here we go." I whispered.
"Honestly, I am so glad that everyone is seeing Ryn for who she is. I never liked her since day one. Yes, I may have been a little mean to her but that b***h put my boyfriend in a coma and got my father fired as a Principal."

"My Dad
Dad just had two years before retirement and she ruined that for him. After that, I got so depressed and I actually thought of killing myself."
She paused for dramatic effect, dabbing at her dry eyes.
"Only one thing kept me going; and that's the fact that karma is a **h and she comes for everyone. So this is for you, Ryn!" She raised her middle finger. "Karma is here for you."
Then the video ended and I suddenly felt very tired.
Curling into a fetus, I laid down on the floor, a small tear escaping my eyes.
My phone began to buzz and I raised it to see Theon's caller ID.
I switched off my phone and closed my eyes.
As I tried to rest, voices from the past haunted my mind, as I laid there.
"Put your wolf on a leash! Or you're going to regret it!"
"You are trouble, Ryn."

I can't have my sons laying with the likes of you!"
"Who's going to miss a poor orphan girl?"
Then the sobs ripped from my throat and I gripped my hair to stop the voices from haunting me.
Maybe I am all the things they say I am.
Maybe the world will be a better place without Ryn Ashmore in it.
