109 Battle Plan - Library (2/2)

Marek started to blush from Olivia's words.Blair's mouth started to twitch and elbowed Marek in the gut. ”Of course we're going to help you! I will help you with the fairytale while Marek and Eli look for Mr. Coblepot. The best way to do this is to split up.” she said as she started to get up from her chair.

Eli finished his call and was heading his way towards them. ”I'm not leaving her behind. I will also help with the fairytale research, Marek I leave Mr. Coblepot to you.You are pretty persuasive after all.” he said.

Olivia grabbed Eli's hand and held on tightly as she looked deeply into his eyes. ”I'll be okay she. I will be with Blair so you might as well help Marek with Mr. Coblepot.” Eli looked at her quietly, he pursed his lips until they turned white. Refusing to budge from Olivia, this caused her to sigh out her fustrations. ”Sorry Marek.” she said apologetically. ”I guess I should have seen it coming since it's Eli. Do you really think he'd be leaving you?” Marek said in defeat.

Olivia gave him a small laugh. ”I don't know about that, he kind of broke off our engagement so if could be with Laila.” Blair's eyes burned with fire and anger as she slammed her fist on the table. She moved her gaze towards Eli as her nostrils flared. ”What the f*ck did she just say?” she said in a slow and deadly tone.

Eli kept his composer as he looked at Blair and enunciated his words. ”I am engaged to Laila.” Blair was ready to lunge at him with her claws bearing but Marek caught her quickly in within his embrace. ”Relax, Blair please relax. He's probably just doing it for Olivia.” he said as he tried to avoid being mutilated.

Olivia looked at her friend and gave her a pitiful smile.”Blair it's true we both have to do things and comply with Agni or else.My life is endanger and more importantly our baby's life is in danger, she's already threatening to rip it out of my womb the instant it's big enough.” Blair strength completely evaporated. Her arms dropped to her sides, she stopped kicking Marek and angry tears started sliding down her cheeks. ”Have you told us everything now?” she asked as she looked at Eli and Olivia.

Olivia bit her bottom lip. ”She's telling people I'm crazythat I am pretending to be pregnant to keep Eli by my side.... but I think it's her who has been lying about being pregnant with dad's baby.” Olivia said with a heavy sigh.

Marek let go off Blair while they both allowed their jaws to drop. ”No.... no this isn't right... I mean ya people he are declared infertile can still have a miracle baby but... if she isn't and already announced to everyone.... but it makes sense if she steals yours to keep everything if her plans goes well during the funeral service.” she mumbled as she rubbed the back of her neck.

Olivia watched Blair intently as she tried to work everything she knew out. ”Fine I accept this war you are starting with that b*tch!No matter what she's going down!” Blair said as she removed her hand from the back of her neck and made a fist pump. ”Eli and I will bring back some books, we can't let you expose yourself anymore than you already have. You kinda stick out like a sore thumb with that outfit.” Suddenly Eli's phone rang and he excused himself again.

Olivia slouched onto the table and groaned. She knew that Blair was right but she didn't want to just sit around either. ”Hey don't be like that we all need to work together plus it's not like I'm taking all the glory! You need to do your fair share of reading!” Blair said with a bright smile. Soon enough Eli was back with a scrap piece of paper im hand. ”Coblepot's location.” He said as he handed the paper over to Marek.

Marek didn't hesitate and grabbed the paper from Eli. ”I will see you later, good luck.” he said before he walked away from them. Blair looked at Eli and they both nodded.”Stay.” Eli said as he looked at Olivia sternly. ”Fine.” Olivia groaned as she peeled herself off the table. Eli softened his face and gave Olivia a loving gaze before he and Blair left to go start their search.

Olivia didn't know what to do. As she sat there she noticed the library had a musty smell from the books and the warm sunshine coming through the window just made it feel so cozy. She couldn't help but put her arms on the table and lay her head on top. She slowly closed her eyes and let sleep take over.

When she woke up she saw Blair sitting in front of her with a pile of books on either side of her.”How long was I out for?” Olivia grumbled as she rubbed her right eye. Blair looked up from the book she was reading.”About two hours.” she said before she went back to reading.Olivia shot straight up, horrified that she was out for so long.

Blair absent mindedly reached out and tapped her hand. ”Eli said to let you sleep, so he went out to grab us some food after he stops by the college.There is an old reference book about the history of the city there.”

Olivia rubbed her neck and slowly sat back down. ”Did you guys find anything?” she asked awkwardly. Blair closed her book and looked at Olivia seriously. ”Yes.... It looks like you're not crazy but it's only snippets here and there.Once Eli brings back the photocopies of the reference book back we will have the whole story.It looks like this city has a dark past and they would only make reference to it in some instances but would never indulge too much into it.”

Olivia nodded as Blair spoke.She started to feel cold and goosebumps were starting to form on her arms.”You ok?” Blair asked gently causing Olivia to flinch.”Sorry... I just... I don't feel good.” she said apologetically.Blair pulled out her phone and Olivia shot up and blocked the screen with her hand. ”Don't call him... I don't want him to rush over and get into an accident.I'm fine i just feel like someone is watching us and it's making me feel uneasy.”

Blair quickly turned her gaze towards the area around them. She didn't see anyone there but she wasn't going to brush off her friends feelings.
