Dinner was not altogether horrid; I met Seth and Leah, Sue's children. Leah was another Rosalie. I loved the hamburger Sue made
"So what's it like being Royalty?" Seth asked me, all wide eyed and innocent for a nine year old.
"Seth" Sue reprimanded but I laughed. I could feel everyone's eyes on me curiously, except Jasper.
"It's the best" I said teasing "I have people like Jasper wait on me all the time, isn't that right Jas?"
Jasper threw the pillow on his lap at me without looking up even though his smile could be seen. I caught the pillow easily placing it on my lap as Seth chuckled at us; even the adults were trying to hide their smiles.
"It's okay, I guess" I asked when his laughter had died down "I have people willing to sacrifice their lives for me at the drop of a hat, but I also have to be ready to do the same. Being a leader has a lot of sacrifices, as well as privileges. There is no room for guessing because one mistake can affect thousand in the worst possible way. You have to do what is right. Sometimes, there is no right. Just wrongs and then you have to pick the lesser of two evil, praying those you rule don't hate you for it"
"Have you ever sacrificed anything?" Leah asked
"Just the little things" I answered her politely not saying anymore. Jasper met my eyes and smiled sadly. I had told him all this before
"Do you have dragons?" Seth asked excitedly getting my attention
"No" I said smiling at him
"Do you at least have unicorns?" he grumbled
"Afraid not. Just regular horses. Marcus taught me how to ride" I said proudly
"Where is the coolest place you've ever been to" he asked
"England" I said after pretending to think about it.
"Have you met the king there?" he asked again
"You mean King Carlisle" I smiled warmly at him "yeah we played archery together last week."
"You can shoot a bow and arrow?" he asked, his eyes wide
"Yep. Marcus taught me" I said again
"Can you shoot a gun?" he asked me
"Yep. Charlie taught me" I said. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Charlie smile proudly. I bit my lips to prevent my own smile. Seth kept me entertained with his questions; I tried to answer them as truthful as I could. He hugged me when it was time to leave he informed me that they spent the weekend with Charlie so he'd see me after school tomorrow.
