Cruel Intentions: Bevearment

Chapter 1

September:

It was nearly 6 months after the tragedy of Annettes lover, Sebastian, died in a freak car accident. It was only out of pure hatred from his sister, Katherine, that drove him to do the things he did. He risked his life to save hers. If only he was seconds later, the car would've hit her instead of Annette. Annette learned not to blame herself, but it was so impossible not to. Look at it this way, a man, who she loved, died because of her belevelant acts of God.

Annette pulled up her Mercedes to the large hotel she had been staying at for over a month. She got out and tossed her keys at the doorman, asuming it was Vallette. The man tryed to correct her, but he was such a pushover, he did just about anything anyone told him to do. She simply walked into the building, looking very business like.

"Every bloody damn day..." Said the doorman sounding very mad at himself. He just took it apoun himself to take her car into the garage, just as he did the first day she moved in.

The man at the front desk kindly greeted her, as she asked for her mail. One letter, from Kathryn Merteuil. It had been months since they talked, not since the funeral. Annette took off right away, not wanting to stick around for the after effects of seeing Katheryn's face, once she was showed the copy of Sebastians journal. It didn't take long for Kathryn to report the car Annette took, which was Sebastians in the first place, stolen. She then proceeded to wreck the car, so she'd get insurance and claim it was an accident. That was the last she heared of Kathryn. Annette asumed that she was kicked out of Rochester, since she was doing some illegal drugs. Hm, was she stuck in prison for that? No, they'd have to do better than that. She'd probably like it in there.

Annette stood there at the desk, staring at the letter. Reading the name Kathryn Merteuil over and over again. She couldn't belive she was writing to her, knowing Kathryn, it was probably a bomb inside.

"Are you okay Ms. Hargrove? You seem-"

Annette blinked nervously, "Um, yeah, yeah i'm fine. Yes, thankyou for asking."

Many would think if by some chance an audience was watching Annette and Kathryn talk for the first, Annette was not scared of Kathryn. If anything, she felt sorry for her. But Kathryn was dangerous. When she wanted to be, anyway. She would do what she could to get what she wanted. Which was, to have Sebastian and Ronald to fight, which lead to the death of a good man, trying to follow his heart. But in a way his purpose was served, he found true love, and that's all he needed. That was his final accomplishment. See, when Sebastian was sworn into the Merteuil family, he was slowly turned into "one of them". Very jaded, thinking everything was to come at a price wheather he liked it or not. Thinking that everything can come at a price. And there is no mercy shown for anyone. But now im trailing off... where was I? Ah, yes. No, Annette scared of Kathryn was like someone going to the beach without wearing any suntan lotion. Very possible that they could get sunburn, but only if they are out long enough. Annette wanted to just get in and out of Kathryn's favor as soon as she could, asuming she wanted money or something.

Annette pushed the hyrogliphic to go to the top floor, where her room was. She pocketed the letter in her brown, leather, little book bag. There was no one else in the elevator, except for an annoying little boy who's mother and father had lived in the hotel. He looked up at Annette, and smiled. She looked at him and smiled back. He was an adorable little boy. Blonde hair, innocent blue eyes. He kept smiling at her.

"I know you!" Said the boy.

"I know you too, Thomas." She said smugly.

Thomas had been circling the emergency stop button for the past few seconds she had been on. Annette took an interest.

"Thomas... you weren't thinking of messing with the buttons were you?"

Thomas gave her an obviouse grin.

"Thomas..." She said more assertively this time.

He continued to grin as he pushed the button. Suddenly the whole elevator shook up and down for a second, then it stopped. It was dark in the elevator but the emergency lights came on inside the elevator. And there wasn't a phone in the elevator like there should have been. Annette slowly turned her head as she glared at Thomas who had his hands behind his back, giving an innocent smile. Within 45 minutes, the elevator was able to get going, thanks for Annette's call to the front desk with the use of her cellphone. It would've been quicker, if only Thomas hadnen't taken her cellphone, and started running around with it. He then threatened to step on it, which was when Annette was able to distract him by making him think Barney was hiding in the corner with candy.

She got to her room in time for dinner. She still had homework to do, however. Yes, Annette was in College. She had just been accepted to the NYU. She wanted to be a writer. Her assignement, was to write a 120 page minimum story. It shouldn't take too long, considering Annette was using size 12 font, which is in a way big font for a story.

Annette decided that if she wanted a good story to help get her in the mood, she might as well start reading Kathryn's letter...
