I do not own
"Another day of back breaking chores." Sebastian said while rubbing his left shoulder
"I know it's strenuous, but I like it I mean with Damien I can see why everyone calls me princess. Though when I'm here training horses and doing things that are normally done by staff I appreciate things a lot more." Gypsy said wiping some sweat of her face
"I can't wait to go back home." Sebastian admitted walking over to his water bottle, he wanted to hit himself. He looked to his future queen.
Gypsy was looking to the ground "I just hope mom gets better." She went back to work
Sebastian couldn't say anything comforting for her, it was shocking the woman was still alive though she's slowly turning to a vegetable.
"You look better." Victoria teased at him
"Yeah, why don't you eat some meat." He said winking at her
She looked at him repulsed
"Sebastian then she'd get sick, she's never eaten meat you know that." Gypsy reprimanded
Sebastian looked at Victoria "I am doing better than expected,three weeks of no meat only feeling a little under the weather and vomiting once."
He looked to Gypsy "Once again thank you for taking care of me."
She rolled her eyes "I was just doing what you did for me when I got the stomach flu."
"Still your a good friend." He wondered how she would feel if he wasn't taking care of her just being her bodyguard
"Gypsy,Angelina needs help with her newborn twins want to help?" She asked knowing how HER best friend loved the babies.
Gypsy smiled "Yeah, I'll meet you their after I shower." She said spinning and showing her dirty work clothes and face
"Of course." She looked ta Sebastian with hate and then left
Gypsy did her work faster and then headed off with a bye, though Sebastian only had to fill the horses water and he'd be right behind her.
Gypsy was wearing a light blue dress with boots and she headed to the house with the newborns. She enjoyed playing with them and she couldn't help to blush when the husband said she looked good with children. When his son, Michael said "Yeah my children."
Victoria looked at her with so much hate at that moments. They said goodbye and headed to Eli's house.
"So you like Michael huh?" She said not knowing how else to put it
Victoria stopped walking and looked to her "What?"
"You got really mad when he joked around."
"Joking around? He wasn't joking around, ever since he saw you when we were ten he's liked you!He's kept that stupid drawing you two made together when you were ten, you just get everything." She said tired and looking at me
She looked at me sad, she put her hands on my face "You don't even know why I'm upset." She looked around "Come to my bedroom an hour after dinner, and I will explain why you get everything." She grabbed my hand and we ran for dinner.
"I thought you two were going to be late." Eli said at the head seat staring at me
"We stayed outside a little just to enjoy some time together, we didn't realize how much time had passed." Victoria said before I could open my mouth
I hate how that happens between her and Sebastian I barely use my voice.
"On the weekend you can spend as much time as you want outside." Eli said
That's a lie, though the latest I have ever stayed out was 9:05 and that's because I snuck out. Eli had spanked me that night, and consoled me for two whole days.
"Alright." I say then once most of the tension is gone we eat
Once we finished dinner, some stay behind because it's their turn to wash dishes. I head to bed though I curse when I realize that I am on my period.
I curse, I should be used to it I mean I am that unlucky rare girl to get her period at six. I still remember how happy my doctor was, who's happy a six year old can get a period? Even if I am a damn medical mystery. I sigh and take care of it with a pad and put on my bed clothes.
Since it's cold at night and hot in the morning I change between long t shirt and shorts or tank top and long pants. I go with the tank top and long pants combo tonight and brush my hair out.
I look at the clock, time sure is slow that only took twenty minutes. I put my brush down and decided to do some math homework.
After I finished the first page , I hear a knock at my door. "Come in."
I watch as the door opened and it was Eli, I smile at him and put my math homework away. Though he looks at it "You were always good with numbers, so why is it that you were late to dinner and now you are up past your bedtime?" He asked looking at me
"I couldn't sleep."
He doesn't seem to take my answer, he took a deep breath in. He was just staring at me , until he twirled some of my hair around his finger.
"It's true what they say, time does fly by when you have children. Not to long ago you came here wanting to raise a "piggy". He said with humor in his voice
I smile looking to the picture of my pig, it's on my dresser. "I cruelly named him Pork-chop."
"He was good bacon though." Eli said with a smile
I laugh at him, though I stop when I notice he is staring at me. Strange it's the same look Damien gave me when he was on the stairs.
"What, noticing once again how I have grown?" I tease
He nods "How can I not when you only have a summer with me." He said with sadness
I get closer to hug him, though a panicked knock stops me.
"Yes?" I said worried
"What is it?" Eli said mad
The door opens and Malachi is their looking worried he was about to tell though he looked at me. He didn't say a word.
Eli looked at a guard I did not know "Take her to my bedroom." He picked me up effortlessly and gave him to me.
He walked me to the bedroom,put me on the bed gently and left with a bow.
Went to the door though it was locked, I went to the window but they were locked as well. I didn't notice that before.
I stayed up wondering what the news was, it was inside the house. Though that narrowed down the idea I could get out of here.
While waiting I started to get so tired I could even stay up right, and my stomach was hurting a little.
When I woke up, I felt something warm on my stomach and that it was morning. I moved the warm water bottle off my stomach but a hand was holding it.
I turned to see Eli still sleeping, I sighed and turned the other way. I wish I had my mom, Serena or Cara. Somehow these two always knew she was on her period and had a warm water bottle or midol.
Growing up she thought this was normal until middle school,then she found out it was usually your mother or motherly figure who told you about this and helped you.
Though she would just tell Michael or Eli and they would get a female,then they would hold her and give her warm milk.
She tried to get up on her own, but after her fifth attempt she sighed and stayed still.
"All you had to do was wake me."He said removing his arm
"I didn't want to wake you, you stayed up all night." She got up heading for the door.
"Your things are in the bathroom." He said getting up
"Thank you."She went their and did her business and came out.
"What happened?" She asked as he was looking outside
He turned to her sighing and frowning. He came over to her, picking her up and going to the bed. He sat down and put her in his lap sitting sideways.
"What's wrong?" She asked looking in his eyes he seemed mad and confused
He pulled her closer in his arms "Do you remember our third law?"
She nodded her head "We cannot take our own lives." She memorized the laws since she was eight. "Why who broke the rule?" Though she hoped it wasn't some one she was close with.
"Victoria, she took medicine that we got for her grandparents." He kissed my forehead, wiping away my tears.
"Last night, before I came to you I talked to her and she told me how she had lied for the both of you."
"I-"He gave me a look so I didn't defend myself
"She also asked me if she could tell you something, something that she has always wanted to tell you."
"What was it?" I asked hoping he'd tell me,but I wasn't going to get my hopes up.
"That she was unclear of, and for that I am sorry for." He kissed my forehead "I must talk to her family and get things prepared."
I nodded my head and got up from his lap. Someone knocked on the door, I went to it opening it. "Damien!" I say jumping at him.
He smiled catching me with ease "Princess, I hope you are well."I nod my head "Yeah, what are you doing here?"
"Yes, what are you doing here?" I asked confused
"Yes,what are you doing here you weren't supposed to pick her up for another two weeks." Eli said mad he was even forming a fist.
"The trial of that crazed priest went through, and besides I missed MY princess." He said looking to me, I'm still in his arms
"Damien put me down, I'm not a baby." I said wiggling in his arms though he has a tight grip on me
"Of course your not, but be in my shoes. I haven't seen you in a long time. Though I do have good news."
I looked at him "What?" I hope it's my mother "I bought us a new house and it will be closer to the city. You can see it our staff already finished your room. Also Sebastian's family will be moving in as well."
I smiled "That's great." I looked back to Eli "What about the funeral?"
"It will go on tonight." He walked closer to us "Go an tell you friend while we talk please, angel."
Damien puts me down "We do have some things to talk about."
I nod my head and walk out the room of course the guards are at the door. "Hey guys."
"Good morning." They all said before turning stiff
I went to Sebastian's room knocking on his door.
With Damien and Eli
Eli looked at him mad "You killed one of my people!"
"She was going to tell Esmeralda about her future, you must have a tighter leash on your dogs."
"Their are no dogs around here."
Damien smirked before looking to the window where a crow landed and beat on the window with it's beak.
"How dare you to think I would put the mother of my child in danger." Eli said
Damien rolled his eyes "Oh please, did you not see her jumping into my arms. You were a big part of her life when she was a child, but now she needs me more not your hippie junk." He said with disdain in his voice while looking at Eli's ceremonial robes.
"She will want to stay for the send off of her friend."
"Yes, but having her real friend and family will have her forget about her friends unfortunate demise."
He walked out the room though looked back at Eli "I'm winning dear brother." He said brother with disgust and left with his guys.
Eli stared back mad wondering what he could do while getting things prepared.
