Can a heart still break once it's stopped beating? (Lady Lesso)

Chapter 34: an unfortunate turn of events

Your little shit of a daughter did this. Celestial said

Celest your in danger. Aric said

How? Celestial asked

You died in a fire in your town 110 years ago. You don't exist. Aric said

They can't kill me. Celestial said and Alanah fell asleep on Arics chest and when she woke up Celestial was healing the bruises on her arms and wrists.

Get the fuck away from me. Alanah said

How long has he been hitting you? Aric asked

Since I got there. Alanah said

Why didn't you tell me? Aric asked

I don't know. Alanah said and they sat in silence until one of the men came in the cell and dropped a news paper in front of Celestial.

Unless you gave me a fake name you're supposed to be 110 years decomposed. He said

I was 18. Celestial said

You shouldn't be sitting in front of me right now! That's the point! Let alone running a mafia organization. He said dropping another news paper in front of her more recent.

You think I'm a mafia boss? Celestial laughed

You and him, and her. He said

I'm the head mistress of the schools good and evil I'm not a fucking mafia boss, where would I even have time to do that? A pp a pace ap I run a business and Aric is my business partner and Alanah is my investor. Celestial said

You're full of shit. He said

I am trained to lie so you can't prove anything. Celestial said and he left.

What did you mean by Eliza and Kiara are sisters and whose kora? Alanah asked

Kora is what Eliza's name was before she started going by her middle name and Eliza's family adopted Kiara when she was two but long story short Kiara caught feelings confessed them to and kissed Eliza making her move out because of how possessive Kiara became, Eliza told her parents got a restraining order and Kiara killed 5 of Eliza's girlfriends Lesso might be next. Celestials said just as two guards grabbed her pressing her up against a wall and Alanah and Aric watched from inside the cell as the man started searching her for something feeling her up.

You're really fucking handsy, can you control yourself? Celestial asked

You wanna see how handsy I can get? He asked tugging at her pants and she froze.

Celest, do something! Aric yelled

She froze. Alanah mumbled

Celest! Aric yelled and before he could pull her pants down she punched him knocking him down.she was trembling slightly but her eyes weren't flickering and she fainted dark black lines appeared on her face.

What's happening? Alanah asked

Her immortality is failing. Aric said

What do you mean failing? Alanah asked

She's dying. Aric said and Alanah noticed the count down on Celestial's wrist fading and she started groaning and tried getting up but she fell.

I have never been in so much pain a day in my life. Celestial said

Celest, get up! Aric yelled

I'm trying. Celestial said and when she collapsed again she got mad punching the floor until her knuckles were bleeding. "I can't I'm sorry." Celestial said with angry tears flowing down her face.

Hey, celest it's ok, you're gonna be ok, just breathe. Alanah said

I am breathing! Celestial yelled

Am I yelling at you? No. So don't yell at me. Alanah said

Grab onto the bar and try pulling yourself up. Aric said softer then before and she grabbed the keys and held onto the bars pulling herself up opening the gate and Alanah quickly caught her holding her upright while Aric gave her a small vile with a black liquid in it which made her fall asleep and Aric snapped his fingers and they were in a carriage on their way back to the schools.

I need my phone Aric. Alanah said

Check your pocket. Aric said and Alanah called Riley .

What mom.

How— no why would you call the authorities on us?! Alanah yelled

Because I hate you! You were gonna let that guy kill my dad!

Don't call me again. Alanah said taken aback.

Fine! Hanging up.

Lanah are you ok? Aric asked

I'm fine.
