Chapter 2:

The next day I got up, feeling a little angry. And this anger was going to be appointed back at Elliot. But I wanted sabotage. His words were playing through my mind. I just need to find out what he likes…then ruin it.

-insert evil smile-.

I got dressed in my light blue shirt, black vest, black skirt, black and blue striped stockings, and my black heeled boots. I put my hair in two pig tails. For now I decided to venture around the mansion.

As I walked down the hall I saw two men, that I didn't see at dinner. One had blonde hair and a red and a yellow eye. The other had black hair and yellow eyes. I looked at them curiously.

"You must be Renee Villeneuve, I'm Gilbert Nightray and this is my brother Vincent Nightray." the one with the black hair said.

"It's a pleasure to meet you both." I smiled politely. If they're both Nightray's I wonder why they weren't at dinner like the rest of them. I decided not to ask.

"Well, we'll be seeing you later." Vincent said with a smile.

I blushed and nodded. They walked away. Now back to sabotage. I just need a plan. I continued to walk down the hallway. I wasn't really paying attention and I ran into someone. And they apparently had a lot of books. The books fell to the floor.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't paying attention to where I was going!" I apologized.

I looked up to see a boy around my age. He had long messy hair and large glasses on. I wasn't able to see his eyes.

"No, it's fine. Ms…" "Renee, I'm…"

"Oh, so you're Elliot's fiancé." he said. "I'm Leo, his servant. I was just picking up some books for him."

"Wow, he must read a lot." I said helping him pick up the mess.

"Yeah, but some of these books are for me to read as well." he said with a smile.

"I'll help you carry them." I said cheerfully. "it's the least I can do for bumping into you."

"You don't have to. I mean I'm the servant you should just go back to doing what you were doing." he said.

"but I want to." I said.

"…fine." Leo said agreeing for me to help him.

I picked up 5 of the books because Leo didn't want me carrying too much.

"Are you ok?" Leo asked curiously. "Elliot told me you were upset last night about the engagement."

"Well he's wrong!" I said. "I'm upset for a different reason."

"Oh…so Elliot made another mistake. He tends to jump to conclusion without analyzing the situation."

"So…he's an idiot?" I asked.

Leo chuckled at this. "Well, he is also very smart."

"Oh…ok."

We arrived at Elliot's room and Leo knocked on the door.

"Come in!" we heard Elliot yell from the inside.

Leo opened the door with his free hand revealing Elliot's room. It was slightly bigger than mine and had a cream color to it. His bedding was blue. He himself was sitting at his desk writing something. He looked up at both of us. He seemed surprised to see me there. I smiled deviously at him causing him to glare a little.

"I ran into her on the way here." Leo said nonchalantly.

"Just put the books over there." Elliot said pointing to his nightstand. We did as he said. I was about to walk away but decided to look back at Elliot. Our eyes met causing me to blush. That's when I decided to walk away. I walked back to my room and sat on my bed. So all I got from that is that he likes books…I can make something off of that. For the rest of the day I decided to stay in my room drawing. It's something I like to do to pass the time. There was a knock on my door. I looked up and noticed my dad standing there. I must have forgotten to close the door.

"Hey Sweetie." he said.

"Hi dad." I said. It came out more of a sigh.

"I'll be leaving to go back home tomorrow morning. I need to get back to your mother." he said.

"I understand. What time?"

"Probably before you wake up." he said.

"Ok…" I said sadly.

"Don't worry Renee. You'll be much more happy with Elliot. I'm sure of it." he said.

I gave him an odd look. "Suuuuuuure."

He chuckled. Then he embraced me into a hug. "I love you Renee. And so does your mother." he whispered.

"I love both of you too." I said hugging him back.

He let go of me and kissed my forehead. "be strong for me ok."

"I will." I said. "Bye Father."

"Goodbye Renee." he said.

"I'll write to you both." I said.

With that he got up and left the room. I decided to get back to my drawing. I was drawing a knight about to slay a dragon. I decided to go to bed early since I couldn't wait for tomorrow because I know just how I'm gonna sabotage.

(Morning)

My father had already left just like he said he would have. Now its time for sabotage. I just needed the right time. I walked out of my room to see Elliot heading to the bathroom. Once he had closed the door behind him, I ran in his room, and saw a book lying on his desk. I quickly looked through it and saw his bookmark on the last chapter. Perfect.

I took the pair of scissors I had and cut the whole chapter out of the book, and made my way back to my room with the pages. I hid the pages in my underwear drawer. I lied on my bed and waited. Elliot walked by my room and I gave him a sincere smile, and his response was a glare. (Elliots POV)

After that weird moment I walked into my room to finish the newest volume of The Holy Knight. I opened the book to the last chapter…that was missing…wait…I swear that there was another chapter!

I looked closer at the book and noticed the pages were cut out.

"SON OF A BITCH!" I yelled slamming the book down and storming out of my room. I stomped my way into Renee's room…she wasn't there. I suspected her because of that suspicious smile she gave me.

"RENEE WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!?" I yelled making my way back out of the hall. I then heard two voices coming from Vanessa's room. One voice obviously belonged to Vanessa and the other belonged to Renee. I slammed the door opened and saw Renee and Vanessa chatting on her bed. I brought my attention to Renee.

"What the hell did you do to my book!?" I yelled in a fit of rage.

"What book?" she asked innocently. "Don't give me that innocent crap, you know what book I'm talking about!"

She chuckled making me more pissed than I already was. If she wasn't a girl I would have punched her.

(Renee's POV)

This is amusing! Though Elliot is scary when he's angry, but yet…it makes him cute at the same time. His face was red too. I chuckled causing him to get angrier.

"Oh, you mean that book!" I said with fake excitement.

"yeah you know, the one you CUT THE LAST CHAPTER OUT OF!" his words got louder as he grew angrier. Vanessa seemed to be amused but also confused as well.

"I don't know!" I smiled.

"Yes you do!"

"hehe, fine…" I got up and walked out the door. "But you gotta catch me first!" I started to run as fast as I can down the hall.

"GET BACK HERE!"

I ran all the way down the stairs and I heard his foot steps follow me. I looked behind me and saw that he was catching up. He sure can run fast. I decided to do a hook-slide and run into the empty dining room and I hid underneath the table. I saw Elliots feet as he walked by. It looked to me that he turned around to look into a closet of some sort. I took this advantage and crawled to the other side and ran out the door. I then ran outside into what appeared to be a garden. I stopped running and looked at the view. It was so beautiful out here.

"GOT YA!"

I then found myself being tackled in the grass. I looked up and saw Elliot hovering over me. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" I yelled at him.

"You know exactly what that was for!" he yelled back.

We were both panting from being out of breath. I tried to push him off me but he was holding my arms and legs down. I blushed as I realized the position that we were in. "Can you please…get off me?" I asked.

"Only if I get the pages back." he said stubbornly.

"F…Fine!"

With that he got off of me and helped me off of the ground. I dusted myself off. "You didn't have to tackle me." I mumbled.

"Yes I did." he then grabbed my arm.

"What are you doing?" I questioned.

"I'm making sure you don't run this time."

I sighed and walked him back into my room where I had hidden the pages. I grabbed them out of my drawer. "Before I give these to you let's get something straight." I said sternly.

He gave me a confused look.

"I want you to apologize."

"What the hell for?"

"FOR YELLING AT ME LAST NIGHT!" I yelled.

"…"

"…"

"You're an idiot!" he chuckled.

I blushed an glared at him.

"No I'm not! The only idiot here is you!" I yelled. "you yelled at me for all the wrong reasons! I wasn't upset about being engaged to you! I was upset because my father broke his promise to me!"

"Oh…then…I…"

There was a knock on the door. We both looked up and it was a maid.

"Ms. Villeneuve, Duke Nightray would like to see you in his office." she said and walked away.

"I don't know where that is." I stated.

"I'll walk you there." Elliot said.

I handed him the chapter and he walked me down to his fathers office. We entered the office together. His father was sitting in a rather large chair and had a lot of paper work on his desk.

"Ms. Villeneuve it seems like I have bad news." he said. "Your father and your mother were both assassinated, by a gunman."

I stood there in shock. I didn't even know what to say.

"I'm sorry for your loss."
