Lying for a Reason

“I didn’t intend for her to find out that I lied, but of course, you can’t always get what you want.” Tara said as he slid down the door in his dorm room.

He sat there and put his head onto his knees. He sighed and heard a knock upon the door.

“Go away.” Tara said as he stood up.

“Oh, okay. I see how it is. Telling your sister to go away when she is here to gather you up for dinner.” Celia said as she knocked on his door again.

He opened the door and he looked at her smiling face.

“I am not hungry. Go eat without me.” Tara said as he closed the door again.

Celia left and he heard something tapping his window in front of his desk. He walked over to the window and opened it. An owl sat there with the letter in his mouth. Tara grabbed it as the owl walked in and stood on desk. He noticed the heir stamp of the Freedom’s. He gulped air as he carefully opened the envelope and took the letter out. He opened the letter and this is what it read:

“Dear Mr. Deira,

How could you lie to me? I thought I we were friends!! Out of all the people I thought would not lie to me, you, YOU LIED TO ME!! Why would you lie to a friend like me?? You put our friendship in jeopardy!! I don’t think I can do this anymore.

Write back to me when you get your life and your ezel* story straight. Just whistle for the owl I sent with this letter. You know what you lied about.

Now Your Enemy,

Deera Freedom”

He sighed and folded the paper back up. He sat down at his desk and he grabbed his quil and ink. He started writing back to her. He got halfway through his letter when someone pounded at his door, scaring him. He stood up as he put his quil down and walked over to the door.

“Who is it?” Tara asked as he straightened his shirt up.

“It is campus security. Open this door.” A guy said.

Tara opened the door and asked, “Why are you here?”

“We heard there is an owl on the loose here and we need to get it off the campus.” The guard said as he walked in and saw the owl on the desk.

“That isn’t real, sir. I whittled it to make it look real, sir.” Tara lied as the guard looked at Tara.

“Alright. Have a good night, Mr. Diera.” He said as he left.

Tara closed the door and breathed deep. He locked the door and walked back over to his desk. He sat back down and picked up his quil again. He dipped the quil and started writing again. He finally got done and signed his letter. He folded it up and stuck it in a fresh envelope. He sealed it with his own seal of a heart and a small set of flowers. He gave it to the owl and the owl took to flight. He wnt to bed as the owl flew for the next few days. The owl flew all the way to Deera’s home and landed on the perch in her room. Deera heard the owl fly in and land. She sat up from her crying and wiped away her tears

“Did he write me back, Bella?” She said as she pet the owl and the owl dropped the letter into Deera’s other hand.

Deera opened the envelope and screamed when she pulled it out. Her sister, Celestial, ran in and looked at Deera confused.

“Where are they, sista? Why’d you scream?” Celestial asked with her spear in hand.

“I... I screamed because Tara wrote back quicker than I thought he would. I am sorry, sister Cece.” Deera said as she looked at Celestial.

Celestial rolled her eyes and walked out of the room. Deera read the letter and this is what it said:

“Dear Ms. Freedom,

I am so sorry for lying to you. Let me explain what happened before what you had walked into with Celestial and I. She was trying on a dress I had bought for YOU to make sure it would fit. She said it was perfect fit but the color wasn’t quite right for it. She went to take it off but it had gotten stuck around her waist and I went to help her take it off so I can take it back the next day. We got it off and you walked in as I went to kiss her on the cheek.

We both yelled for you as you ran out of the room. I set the dress down and ran after you so I could explain what was happening. I finally found you and you ACCUSED ME of having an affair with your sister behind your back. I would never do that to you. Also, to confess, I did date your sister before you. That is why she was there, helping me pick the perfect dress for you. I didn’t want to lie to you but there was no choice in it.

I don’t want us to be enemies at all. Will you please forgive me?

Signed,

Tara L. Diera”

“Hm. I guess I will see him tomorrow after his school day. Father!!” Deera said as she ran down the stairs.

“What, Deera?” Draco said as he sharpened his sword with a stone.

“Are gonna go to the Elven University tomorow to check on things?” Deera asked as she sat on the table.

“Yes. Let me guess, you wanna go also.” Draco said as Death entered the room.

“Well, yeah she does. She is a daddy’s girl after all.” Death said as he opened the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of soda.

“Shut up, Death!! He wasn’t speaking to you!!” Deera snarled as she glared at Death.

“Alright. Family trip tomorrow. EVERYONE is going.” Draco said as he put his sword into it’s sheath.

Deera smiled and walked back up the stairs as she heard everyone else groan. She went to bed and slept until the next morning. She got up and got everyone’s bags ready. She grabbed everyone’s schedule and gave them to each of them. They flew to the school and Deera ran to her first class which was Advanced Magic, AKA same as Tara’s class. She got there and sat down quickly. Tara walked in and saw her. He was there was no teacher as of yet.

“I forgive you, Tara.” Deera said as she smiled at him.

He smiled back and hugged her. They were good from there on out.
