One Month One World One Year Challenge (Selena Lilly)
So, I started this off in the hopes that I could keep up with it, and immediately couldn't. I've decided to instead do it in this thread, but please check out the main thread with all its wonderful st...
Even with her newfound...ailment, Selena was still determined to do her best with school. Alongside studying up on lycanthropy (with the help of Cyrus), she was also doing her best to study for the assignments and tests set by the new school. She'd settled in well, according to her teachers, but she knew that resting on her laurels wasn't the way forward.
In class, Mrs Sinclair had moved on from the projects they'd put together, and was now teaching them about Princess Cordelia's reign and exploration.
"Now, class, it's important to note that many of our sources report wild and mystical things taking place around this era. As they are unverified, and stand alone as the only source of these happenings, you must take it upon yourself to think critically about what you read, as you must in the modern day."
She tapped the whiteboard.
"For example, one mention of Princess Cordelia states that she saw a great beast upon the mountainside near here, with eyes like fire, howling into the night. This has no other claim to back it up, and some see it as the basis for the myths that rose around what would become Moonwood Mill."
If by myths, Mrs Sinclair meant werewolves, Selena could have answered her questions easily, but she instead looked down at her notes, trying not to think about it. If the story was true, then werewolves had been around for quite some time. She wondered what other creatures were real, but brushed the thoughts from her head like cobwebs. No, worrying about werewolves was quite enough for now.
Once home, she felt as though she could breathe. Her other classmates didn't seem to have the worries she was dealing with, and sometimes that alone was suffocating enough. Here, in her space, she could simply relax, somewhat. Even with that, she kept wanting to message Cyrus, though she didn't want to bother him too much. He was already doing so much for her.
She felt a strange little pang in her heart, thinking about him. He really was very kind, and he seemed trustworthy, and she wished she could step over the line she'd mentally drawn between them. Maybe asking him out would be pushing it, especially if he turned her down. That didn't seem like something she could handle at the moment.
