Four POV;
I walk towards my room briskly making sure to avoid conversation with any people. I'm just curious at this point as to who this mysterious thief is. I finally reach my room and to my surprise I hesitate before opening the door. I quietly shake my head though, silently chastising myself for being so stupid. I take a deep breath and open the door.
When I enter my room everything appears to be in place. I don't notice anything out of the ordinary except of course the girl tied up by my bed and the three guards standing by her. I walk over to the girl and smile slightly, "So you the little thief that ruined my party. I have to say I'm disappointed. You don't look like much." I say with a chuckle.
The guards standing next to her chuckle with me though I suspect they don't find anything funny about this. The girl remains silent, not giving any indication that she heard me. "What's your name?" I ask her, tilting her head up so that we look each other in the eye's.
"Beatrice Prior. But everybody calls me Tris." she says. I expect her voice to be quite and weak but it comes out surprisingly strong and confident. "Well Tris." I say smiling again, "I don't know what to do with you. You don't seem sorry but how could I tell. Of course your probably just as dumb and naïve as my fiancé."
I must have stung a nerve in her because suddenly she looks at me, anger burning in her eyes. She lean her head back and suddenly I feel saliva dripping down my cheek. "Fuck.. you." she tell me. I recoil in disgust. I lift my hand to slap her but stop. "Why you filthy little." I don't finish my sentence aware of the guards watching my every move.
To my surprise though I suddenly start to laugh. The whole situation has suddenly become rather funny and ridiculous to me. I laugh for a couple of seconds but eventually calm down and the guards as well as Tris are staring at me as if I'm crazy.
"I admire your courage Tris, there's something about you I like. I think I'll keep you around. Who knows if anything you'll prove to be entertaining. " I finish with a slight chuckle. Tris is too stunned to speak so she just nods and sits there her mouth agape.
I turn now to address the guards standing on either side of her. I recognize one as the head guard, Eric. I hate him but he knows his stuff when it comes to fighting. "Eric take Tris to her own room, the one two doors down from mine should do nicely." Eric looks at me for a moment, a questioning look in his eyes then nods. "It shall be done milord."
I nod at him and as Tris walks out I call after, "Get the maid they call.. hmm now what was it." I pause for a moment, shaking my head trying to recall what Matthew told me. "Oh she's called Marlene!" I call out, "Have her look after her!" I say. Eric nods and turn away, guiding Tris down the hall just a slight way and escorting her into the door. I give her a small wave and though I know she can't hear it I whisper anyway, "Welcome to the castle Tris. I hope you enjoy your stay here at hell."
Tris POV;
As the guard, Eric I think his name is, picks me up I walk away, dumbfounded. Prince Four of all people just let me stay in his castle. In my very own room after I spit in his face. Man I think quietly I don't know why people make him out to be such a bad person. Eric opens the door to my room and I'm blown away. I've never had a room to myself I've always had to share with my older brother Caleb.
The room is heaven compared to what I'm used to. The bed could fit my whole family and I can't believe it's just for me! I slowly walk around the room, inspecting everything and marveling in the fact that Prince Four gets to live in this daily. Eric grabs me roughly though and unties my hands, reminding me that they were still bound.
"Just because you're staying here doesn't mean you're not prisoner." he tells me, his voice is low and gruff. I shrug him off, "What would you know anyway." I shoot back at him walking away. He apparently doesn't know what to say because I hear him back away and the door closes. Shortly after I hear the familiar click of a lock.
I crash into the bed and close my eyes slightly, enjoying the softness of it. Before I realize it though I'm falling asleep caught somewhere between sleep and awake-ness. Eventually I give in to sleep and I doze off into a peaceful abyss. Filled with pleasant dreams and Prince Four's face.
PAGE BREAK TIME SKIP THINGY
I don't know how long I slept but suddenly three girls are standing over me. "Wakey wakey!" the dark haired one cries. Giving me a small shake. The other two laugh slightly.
"Oh don't mind her." the oldest one tells me, "She's always like that but you get used to her. Anyway it's nice to meet you Tris. The servant's by now have heard all about what happened with you and." she takes a moment to sigh, "Prince Four."
I look at all three of them. My face but have said it all because the third one pipes in, "We're your new maids." she informs me, "I'm Marlene." she says with a little wave. She has tanner skin, darker hair, and bright green eyes. "This is the head maid Shauna." she says, pointing to the oldest. Shauna has paler skin, light brown hair, and brown eyes. Marlene points to the last girl, "That's.." but before she can finish the girl lets out another excited squeal.
"I'm Christina and I know you and I are going to be besties Tris!" she says with ah huge smile and a small bounce. I can't help but laugh at her reaction. "Nobody's ever wanted to be friends with me." I tell her. She laughs as do Marlene and Shauna.
"Well get used to it." Shauna informs me, beginning to tidy up my room as Marlene lays out some clothes. "You're the most famous person in the servant's area and word is already spreading in the town about what happened between you and Prince Four." she says with a slight giggle.
Marlene joins in and nods, "Everybody will want to be your friend!" she says with a smile, "Since your close to Prince Four."
I look at her surprised, "But we've never met before this." I tell her. Marlene shrugs and shakes her head.
Just then Christina interrupts, "Well then he must think your pretty damn hot then."
