Chapter 65 Ruby

• I had escaped to my house, needing the space, having told Lilah everything I could remember for her to pass on to Knox, but I just needed to be on my own. I needed to be away from everyone. But I guess Lilah decided otherwise because no sooner was I home than my sister and my cousin arrived, declaring they were here for me, and that they would not be leaving me. Evidently, I needed looking after in their minds. In my own mind, I needed to be on my own. Why did they not see it the same way? I am not a fucking child. And I truly do not appreciate being treated like one!
• Esme is following me around like she is scared she is going to lose me. Where she thinks I will vanish to in my own home I have no clue. It is not like I have been training in magic tricks in my spare time. I realise it may have scared them to know that Rose had planned to take my life, but I do not think I can cope with having my sister clinging onto me like a leech! I like my personal space, and right about now Esme most certainly had forgotten what that was.
• “That just goes to show how much Jake must love you, Rubes.” Lola says as she passes me a mug of coffee.
