Playing games.
Odette looked at her future husband with scorn and disapproval, he had a mop of brown messy hair, a snub nose and some dried mud splattered across the left hand side of his face, obviously from messing around in the woods with that daft friend of his she thought.
Derek had noticed the way Odette looked at him and it certainly wasn't one would look at their future husband, she looked at him like he was beneath her, a piece of garbage that she could only be so happy to throw away he thought.
They stood looking at each other with their obvious hatred not in the least bit concealed. " I think its going well…don't you?" said Derek's mother with the utmost of excitement screaming through her strained voice. "Yes, they haven't took their eyes off each other in the last ten minutes…surely its a sign!" replied Odette's father. Whispering not so quietly the two parents left the edge of the chamber to give the two some peace. When the door was closed with a bang, a deep breath escaped the two youngsters. "I thought they would never leave.."
Derek spoke quietly, he didn't say it to anyone in particular but he saw Odette's small eyes narrow. He took her appearance in with a swift glance, looking at his future bride-to-be with plain disgust written across his face. She was small, with two ugly pigtails keeping in her bright orange hair, however it got worse, she had a huge sprinkle of freckles across her face making any redeeming features she might have possessed impossible to notice through the spray of ginger dots. The only thing that caught his attention was her bright blue eyes, at odd ends with her ginger hair but nonetheless startling.
"Would you like to play a game?" Derek suddenly asked surprising Odette, she was about to refuse when she thought of the obvious hope in her fathers eyes before he had left. He would want her to get along with him she thought. Sighing, Odette nodded her head in obvious frustration.
Derek smiled a plan already beginning to form in his mind. Odette took this as a nice and gentle smile almost as acceptance and greeting. "This way" Derek called before he disappeared out of the room.
Odette followed unprepared for his little game that was to come.
