Chapter 9! Crying tears of joy right now in the manliest girly way possible, I type this as I scream my head off watching the Resident Evil movies with my friend. Sweet right? Anyway Victoria is a very (supposed to be) a very reserved, poetic, slightly idiotic and intelligent person so when she is using all these metaphors and shit if they suck give me a break. Remember I'm the one writing the shit I don't go to Google or anything plus I'm only in err won't say my grade but I'm in middle school I haven't even taken English yet -.- English along with History and Social Studies are some of the few subjects I wouldn't mind still hasn't been taught or haven't been taught to a decent level but anyways.. Here it is!
"So Darling, what is your stand, so to speak on love?" I was surprised the Duke wasn't the kind of man who asked you about love more like the kind to ask you into bed and then next morning ask you to leave. Okay that was a little harsh but still. I looked up at him "Love I guess is a rose. It's beautiful and something that is admired and treasured but it has thorns that will prick your fingers if you are not careful. Some people stand back and just watch the beauty of it while others grasp the rose in their hands and use it." I was horrible at expressing what I meant but the Duke smiled at me and grabbed my hands and said "Victoria! That was a exquisite statement!" I mentally laughed in my head the man was like a twelve year old anything that had big words in it was a piece of art I suppose in his mind. The dress was rather low cut so we had to cover up the incuse with skin colored paint but it was well hidden until the duke started to rub it off seeing it faintly he then smiled "Oh! I knew it you are a contractor I mean didn't your family have a chain?" I nodded and added "I have my own god only knows what happened to Hare..." I ran my fingers through my hair. "Do you still work for Pandora?" "Of course not I got sick of all the rules and un-kept promises." I said lying through my teeth. "I need to tell you something," he leaned close to my ear "Burville has been telling me to find everyone I can who has a chain, he's been trying to open holes to the abyss to let chains out. He's gone simply mad he wants to take over the country or something like that. He's been taking contractors into the basement and they usually don't come out and if they do they have lost their chain and they aren't the same. So I'm warning you as a friend don't go down into the basement. He's going to start-" " Wait Charles Burville?" The blonde nodded and tried to say something but I gasped my hand flying over my mouth and cut him off "T-Thank you I have to go!"
I was astonished, I ran over to Xerxes "Where is everyone!?" "They left for home Alice and Gil got drunk out of their minds it was quite comical." "We have to go! Now!" "Or what? Victoria I believe you had too much wine-" "No this is worse than I thought it's not the duke it's B-" A familiar voice yelled "Hello everyone!" and the lights shut off and a lone spot light rested on Burville. "For my friends gathered here tonight that were told about the show in the basement can you please make your way down there now?" Xerxes started to go towards the door everyone was filing out and I grabbed his hand "No wait!" I said pleading "Please Break trust me ! We aren't prepared, you'll only die!" "Victoria!" a voiced boomed and Burville came towards me "Go down in the basement dear we have an act to entertain a few select guests!" I panicked and I decided to play drunk "H-Hey Mis-Mister B! Wassup?" I purposely slurred my words trying to act drunk so Xerxes would have to take me back to the manor. "Wanna know a sec-secret Mister B? Okay I-I'll tell yo-you, Ya know that London is uh a c-country?!" I then started laughing like a mad man and fell on to Xerxes clutching the fabric of his shirt pretending to try and balance myself. The sliverette eyed me suspiciously and sighed "She's a terrible drunk isn't she? I knew she had to much to drink.." He then talked his way out of going in the basement with me and he helped me into a carriage actually believing I was drunk. Once we were rolling away from the mansion I said "Xerxes thank God we're out of there! I wasn't drunk for the record as well." He crossed his arms and smirked "I could tell, you were extremely desperate to get out of there weren't you?" "Yes we would of died, the blonde slipped out that Burville is opening holes to the abyss letting out more chains using unimportant citizens or people he could easily make up a fake death for human bait. And then the others who weren't killed chain's die using their powers opening the entrance." He looked at me and shrugged "Why didn't you figure that out when you came here it took you only ten minutes to get him to say it but it's been four weeks." The doll mumbled "Idiot~" from his pocket I crossed my arms and got mad "Do you realize how hard my job is! Finding the actual culprit is like finding a needle in a haystack! You have to go through the whole bloody country everyone's a suspect! Then there's my family I send home everything that I can, and-" "Yes, yes Victoria you have it rough." "Shut up Xerxes! You don't know how much my mind is boggled right now. Plus I didn't sleep at all last night." I yawned and grabbed my shawl and wrapped it around my shoulders trying to get comfortable and I leaned against the window of the carriage and fell asleep.
