Chapter 4

The dreaded answer

Alex POV

"Well if I'm still allowed at yours for the night then let's go get my things and tell my brother" I say to them after sometime on the beach. We set off down the beach towards the blacksmiths, when we entered the workshop we saw Will hammering away at the next new sword he was making. The worst thing was that he was topless, making poor Rachel blush. I quickly pushed her into my room before she could begin to drool, again (I will explain later), and left them to pack my bag so that I could explain things to my brother.

"Hi Will, everything ready for tomorrow?" he smiled and replied "Yep everything good to go, you got anything planned for tonight?" he asked curiously

"Yes, I'm going up to the girls for the night so I can get to the ceremony on time in the morning and plus they've got all my good dresses" I said with a grin

"Ok that's fine, so I'll see you tomorrow then in the morning when I bring the sword round. Give a big hello to the governor for me."

"Will do that, love ya" I said as the girls walked out with my bag full of necessities, I gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek goodbye and we walked out with us all 3 saying "ok, Bye" together then and we walked slowly off towards the mansion.

When we entered the home of the Swann's I was greeted with warm hugs from the governor and Elizabeth. I told him that William said hello and would be here tomorrow morning with the finished sword.

The 3 of us then went upstairs to the twins room, I put my things in the room, got changed into a dress I got for my birthday from the governor and after the girls changed we went downstairs for lunch.

After lunch we decided to have a Q&A session, on who their crush was we knew that Beth didn't have one ye cause she literally shouted it in to our face.

Flashback

Me and Rachel thought that it was time that Beth had a boyfriend considering that she always moaned whenever Rach and I used to talk about guys staring at either of us and saying how cute all the guys are and whether or not they were our type.

Beth used to always be the bad girl sneaking off and disobeying the rules yet when it came to boys however she used to just turn the other cheek, literally.

All three of us knew that the two of them could only ever love an almost nobleman if you'd like to call it, Being daughters of the governor and all, but still. We set her up anyway.

It was an early Saturday afternoon about several weeks ago and Beth was sitting at the edge of the beach closest to the water's edge when a young man tapped her on the shoulder. Meanwhile me and Rachel were watching from a far fingers crossed waiting for her to willingly fall into his embrace.

She already knew the guy, he worked at the mansion, and he had short blonde hair that was straight combed looking.

Beth pov

"Good afternoon Milady." he said to me. It was Jake, I knew him, he was a good friend at home he always helped out with whenever me and the girls snuck out at night, however there was one thing about him that just put me off, he was too much of a goody two shoes, he always did as he was told, and now he was standing over me with a small smile on his face sweet and innocent not really wanting to be here in fear he would get into trouble. Before you ask, he just wasn't my type

"Hey" I replied shocked at why he was here. He then did the thing I was dreading he admitted his feelings about me. I won't go into it but just as he finished I could hear gentle muffled out laughter coming from behind a close range rock, close enough for someone or should I say some people to have heard the entire encounter.

Knowing exactly who was there I ran my hand through my hair and gently stood up and told him I didn't feel the same way and he just wasn't the right guy for me. I let him down slowly telling him how he would meet the right girl for him someday. I curtsied he bowed, and then he was gone.

Then as soon as he left I marched behind the rock breathing in deeply about to let out the outburst I was holding in only moments before.

Alex's pov

Beth came marching over to Rach and I knowing we had failed the challenge and been caught all at the same time. She yelled in our faces

"what do you think you two were doing, I've told you before and I will tell you again I don't care about any guys in that way. When the right guy comes to me the right guy will come to me when he is ready, and of his own free will, not being pressured into it. uhhh." And with that she stormed off without another word to either of us until the next day.

(This, all bearing in mind was before we all had the so called dreams that we know were actually real, watching the movies of a marathon where Righetti seemed to catch Beth's eye if I might say so myself but better not bug Beth any further or else everyone might end up with a black eye.)

End flashback

Also we already knew William was the one for Rachel.

Flashback

A while ago similar time to Beth's encounter

We were in the blacksmiths and we were all helping out will with sharpening swords. I looked over to Rachel and could see her drooling over my brother with his shirtless abs in all their shine and glory.

I stared at her mouth open in shock and said in a harsh tone "Rachel. Stop staring at my brother it's creepy. "

Rachel seemed to be in a trance and so didn't seem to have heard me. I was about to hit her over the head but then i received a death glare from Beth which immediately stopped me in my tracks. Normally Beth would have found moments like this funny but it seemed that she didn't want to have to explain to her father how Rachel's head suddenly had a huge lump on it.

Then i instead turned to Will and chucked his vest at him. "At least put a vest on will ya Will"

He then started to protest saying he was too hot for it. I looked to my left and saw Rachel nod in agreement still in her trance not taking her eyes off will.

It didn't last for long however because he soon put his shirt back on after finishing the sword he was working on. He then began to head towards the blacksmith door and patted my head on the way.

He then said "Alright already. Don't get your hair in a twist. I'm just off to the market to get some food, see ya."

As soon as the door closed Rachel turned to Beth and I for the first time since we entered the blacksmith no longer in a trance. "Finally noticed we're alive now have you?" i muttered under my breath so as to only me and Beth to hear. Beth giggled.

She then slowly stated "guys... I sort of have a confession to make... I like Will. Like more like, like not just like. "

"Well nah" we both replied in unison but Rachel acted as though she hadn't heard us so continued.

"... the way he makes me smile when I look into his eyes, like I'm caught in a trance not realising that I'm not actually dreaming," me and Beth both smirked at this. "the way I feel when he passes me something and our hands graze together for just a second sending a slight shiver down my spine. His kindness his gentle grace presence his generosity and his concern and that's not the end of it the way-"

But Beth cut her off before she could say anymore "alright- alright we get the picture." Rachel continued to blush widely not seeming to care.

So now it was my turn.

We were sitting on floor in their room the two of them both facing me expectantly.

"So Alex... Who's your crush/true love? Hmm?" started Rachel

"Nope, Nu uh! No Way are you getting it out of me!" I said trying to stay calm

"Aww, come on, Pleeaassee" wined Bethany

"Nu, uh!"

"Please, with cherries?" bargained Rachel

"Nope"

"Cherries with sprinkles on top?" - Beth

"No!"

They looked at each other, "Jelly and ice-cream and summer berries?" they asked together and then both pulled a puppy dog look the one they both knew I could not ignore no matter what saying "pleeaassee?"

"Oh. All right! But if he finds out or anyone else, YOU WILL BE DEAD TO ME!…" I said giving in

They both jumped for glee, happy that I fell so willingly into their planned trap, high fiving and then once sat back down I began.

I took a deep breath and said quietly, not looking at either of them.

"It's James Norington…"

"No way…" Rachel pause and remembered something "Did you kn -" she was cut off by Bethany putting her hand on Rachel's mouth

"Now now Rachie, don't go telling her things she doesn't need to know or find interesting, even may be bad for her health." Beth said a fake smile filling up her lips and Rachel glaring at her with a killer's intent, but it was too late because anything to do with James made me curious.

"No! Bethany stop it let her speak, I want to know!" I scolded her

"But-" she tried

"No if it's about James let her tell me!" I told her seriously

"Ok, but I did warn you!" she said to me while looking dead in to my eyes.

"Well… I'm sorry to be the one telling you this… and it's already too late to change but… Norington is going to propose tomorrow at the ceremony…" Rachel said slowly and carefully already seeing me shake with worry.

I swallowed and asked already dreading the answer "to whom?"

I mean how could he do this to me ,I mean I know he doesn't know my feelings for him but what about the time when he was sorting through papers in his office and I came to ask him if he wanted to join me and the girls for a gentle stole along the beach. I know it was a bit sudden but in that one moment he truly looked sad and sorry that he couldn't join us for the trip he just had too many papers to sort through, mostly to do with pirates no doubt. All the while we talked he never took his eyes off me, which made me wonder could he have felt the same in that one moment, no?

I just shook the past memory off as Rachel was about to continue. She closed her eyes for a moment took a deep breath and said the one word I was dreading to hear…

"…Elizabeth"

When she said that I couldn't think or breathe and I think I fainted cause then the world suddenly went black.

I know that some of this was kind of out of character and a bit 21st century but it just all kind of fit.

Anyway your reviews would be highly appreciated.

Thank you, next chapter will be up soon see ya, god bless.
