Chapter 9:

The past few days I had been hiding in my room, scared to death of Klaus and his temper. Food was brought to my room three times a day. Every time a daisy would lay on my tray, but I just put it away so it could wither away. I didn't want any pity gifts or apologies. The only person I wanted to talk to was Elijah, just to get an explanation.

I sighed and sat down on my bed with a book, the ladies in waiting brought me things like books and clean bandages so I could tend to my neck wound. The next time they came I asked them to inform Lord Elijah. I dearly wanted to talk with him in the privacy of my room, but I didn't know if my room was as private as I thought it was.

Another few days passed by and now big bunches of daisies arrived with notes saying that if I wanted to talk, I could talk to him and him alone for the matter. Stubborn as I was I stayed in my room and didn't dare to come out.

More days passed with flowers and notes but the food became less. Klaus was just trying to lure me out of my room. Three days without any food became too much of me and my hunger became the better of me in this case. With my tummy rumbling I made my way down to the dining room, the scent coming into the hallway made my mouth water. I knew he lured me out with this, but I just couldn't stop myself at all. My heart was beating so loudly in my chest it was almost unhealthy, but I after all this was very nerve wrecking.

Walking into the dining room I saw both Eijah and Klaus stand up. I tried to read their faces, but as normal Klaus was unreadable of any emotion but Elijah, his eyes were full of worry.

"Arianna, what has happend to you, your face it is almost of that of a skeleton, you are so alarmingly thin" He spoke out in worry and stepped my way. I shrieked away from him and went to my chair and sat down ignoring his worry about me or my health.

I didn't face Klaus or Elijah and just kept my head down to eat my food and gain some new energy from it. I ignored the table manners. I just shoved the food in my mouth, chewed and swallowed. You could almost hear a pin drop if you just listened closely. I ate probably two full plates before I was full and Klaus cleared his throat.

Looking up I found him to stare at me with eyes filled in a mixture of rage and curiosity. I sat up and decided to stare back at him with a stale look on my face.
