Chapter 3:

After receiving the sad news I ran into my bedroom and slammed the door shut and locked it. I lied in bed and cried. I couldn't believe that my parent had died. They were the only people I loved in this world and now they are gone, assassinated.

(Elliots POV) Renee ran out of the room with tears running down her face.

"Elliot, you should go try to cheer her up." my father stated.

I nodded my head and followed after Renee. I stopped in front of her door and put my ear to it. I could hear her cries were muffled.

"Renee?" I questioned trying to sound as sympathetic as I could.

"Go away!" she yelled.

"I know you're upset but I just want to comfort you." I said calmly.

"I DON'T CARE GO AWAY!"

I felt my anger boiling up. "I'm not leaving until you open the door!" I yelled.

I heard shuffling around and then the door open to reveal the small blond headed girl. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying and she looked pale.

"Are…you ok?" I asked feeling a bit awkward.

"…"

"…"

With that she slammed the door on my face.

"What the hell was that for?" I mumbled. I sighed and leaned against the door, falling to the ground.

(Renee's POV) I sighed realizing how late it was. I decided to get up and get a snack. I opened the door to see Elliot had fallen asleep on the floor. I looked at the clock and it read 12:00am. I looked back down at Elliot who was now grunting and shifting in his sleep. I knelt down and patted him on the shoulder.

"Elliot" I whispered.

His eyes shot opened and he sat up quickly causing us to bump foreheads. I yelped in pain and he groaned. I looked up at him and he was still holding his forehead.

"Are you ok?" I asked a bit monotone.

"Yeah, though I might have a headache for a week."

"That's not what I meant." I said quietly. "You were having a nightmare."

He gave me a surprised look and sighed. "It was nothing, don't worry about it."

"Ok."

He knelt on one knee in front of me. "Are you alright?" he gave me a look of sympathy.

"I…I've cried long enough."

"Do…you like children?"

Children…why would he be asking a question like… "IM NOT READY TO HAVE KIDS!" I accidentally yelled. I felt my face heat up.

His face immediately went red right after mine did. "I…I didn't mean it like that! And lower your voice!" he whispered yelled.

"Oh…sorry."

"What I meant was, if you like kids I'll take you to Sablier to an orphanage that Leo and I visit occasionally."

"I love children!" I smiled at him.

"Good, I'll be going to my room now…good night Renee." he stood up and helped me up.

"Night." I whispered as he walked away. I walked back into my room and fell asleep.

The next morning I was awoken by a sound coming from the kitchen. I decided to get up and get dressed. I walked down the stairs and in the dining room I saw Elliot and Leo dressed in a white uniform. Elliot was sitting down, while Leo was making the tea.

"Good morning Renee," Elliot said, "Have a seat."

I took a seat next to him. "Would you like some tea?" Leo asked. "Yes please."

"I just heard from father that he enrolled you in the school today." Elliot said tiredly.

"What school?"

"Latowidge Academy."

"Really?"

"Yes…" "Is that the uniform?" I pointed at his outfit.

He nodded. "The girls uniform is similar, but it has a skirt."

"Oh…"

"I'll be showing you the dorms and around campus today."

"Ok."

Leo placed down a plate of food in front of Elliot and I. both plates had bacon, eggs, and toast.

"Thank you Leo!" I said happily.

"You're welcome." he said taking a seat across from Elliot.

"You'll be starting at the academy tomorrow but I'll be showing you around today." Elliot stated calmly.

When we were done with breakfast we went to the academy by horse carriage. I looked up at the gigantic school in amazement.

"Before I show you around, let's get your schedule." Elliot said.

"Do your teachers know you'll be gone?" I asked him not wanting him to get into any trouble.

"How stupid do I look? I called in before we left." Elliot replied rudely.

"Just wondering." I said irritably.

He sighed and rolled his eyes. "Come on let's go." he grabbed my arm and lead me in the school with Leo following behind us.

The inside of the school was a lot bigger than the outside. As I was looking around I saw a girl who was walking backwards behind us. It had seemed she was talking to a friend. Then boom! She ran into Elliot causing him to stumble a bit.

"Watch where you're going!" Elliot yelled turning to the girl, and causing a scene.

"Oh dear." Leo sighed underneath his breath.

"Sorry Elliot, but I think it is your fault for having your back towards me!" she argued.

"My fault!? You were the one walking backwards!"

I felt a bunch of eyes on us. The girl then turned her head to look at me. She had long light brown hair that was partly in a ponytail. Her eyes were a dark brown. She was a very pretty girl to put it simple. I smiled politely at her then I decided not to make eye contact. She gasped.

"Elliot! Is she your girlfriend!? I didn't think it'd be possible!"

"She's my fiancé." Elliot responded with a hint of pink going across his face. Soon enough the bell rang.

"Well I'll see you two love birds later! Bye Leo!" she said skipping off to her next class.

"Who…was that?" I asked.

"That was Kadence." Leo said with a smile.

"She's an annoyance." Elliot commented.

"I'm going to head to class, I'll see you both later." Leo said walking off.

"Alright let's get this over with." Elliot said.

I walked beside him in silence. I started to look around at the scenery not watching where I was going. I then turned my head forward and there I noticed a "giant" spider coming down from the ceiling…right in front of my face.

"AHHH!" I shrieked. I flailed my arms causing me to punch Elliot in the face.

"MY NOSE!" he yelled in pain. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?"

"Oh my God! I'm SO sorry! I…I saw a spider and I freaked out, I'm so…"

Elliot then removed his hand from his face. A little blood came out of his nose.

"Oh no, you're bleeding!" I took out a handkerchief and in a panicky way I shoved it in his face.

"Gah! You're only making it worse! Calm down!" he said taking the handkerchief from me and placing it gently on his nose. We started walking again when I calmed down a little.

"A…are you ok?" I asked.

"I'm fine." he answered sounding slightly annoyed.

"Do you need a nurse?"

"No, that isn't necessary…"

"You sure?"

"Yes! I'm fine! Geez you act like you chopped off my hand!"

"I was just…worried I guess." I looked down blushing.

"There's no need to worry about me." he stated.

We came to a door and Elliot opened it. I'm guessing we were in the main office. The hallway we took lead to the principles office. Elliot knocked on the door.

"Come in!" came a mans voice. Elliot held opened the door for me and we walked in together. Sitting in the desk was a big man with a black suit on.

"Ah Elliot! And you must be Renee, Elliot you must be very happy to marry such a beautiful girl." he gleamed.

Elliot and I both blushed.

"A…anyway…she needs her…um…schedule and stuff." Elliot stuttered as his dace got redder.

"Ok then, I will go get her room number and schedule."

The headmaster got up and walked out of the room. I looked up at Elliot and poked him in the nose.

"Why…did you just poke my nose?" he questioned.

"To see if it was broken." I answered.

"I told you not to worry." he said coldly.

"Well sorry for caring for my future husband" I said with a hint of sarcasm in my voice rolling my eyes.

"Whatever."

The headmaster walked back into the room and handed me two sheets of paper. One with my room number on it and the other had my schedule. He also handed me a key to my room.

"Thank you sir." I said politely.

We walked out of the room and back into the empty hallway. As we walked we saw a guy with black hair and sapphire blue eyes. Elliot glared at him, the boy glared back.

"Nightray…" he said spitefully.

"Masterson…" Elliot retorted.

"Who's this?" Masterson asked looking me up and down. I felt uncomfortable and exposed so I hid behind Elliot.

"My fiancé, you better stay away from her Masterson." Elliot's eyes became more narrowed.

"Maybe I will…and maybe I won't." Masterson said walking away.

"Renee, you stay away from him."

"O…ok." I said lowly.

Elliot walked me back to the horse carriage and sent me back to the mansion alone.
