Chapter 2: Anarchy
Keme looked at her phone and saw the text, she looked confused but stuck the phone back in her pocket and went to the house, knocking on the door.
Luna looked around but kept close to Thorns, she cracked her neck and looked outside the window she saw some of the females clothing choice, then it hit her. Luna rushed out of the room and went to the nearest bathroom
She could use her magic to change her clothing she placed her crown on a table and placed her hands together and colors flew around her, Luna's eyes glowed whitish and her dress began to disappear .
She looked down at her outfit and was pretty impressed but notice it was kinda different since the girls outside were wearing shorts or skirts. She returned out of the bedroom and walked towards the same room and to everyone, not forgetting to grab her crown and place it on her charm bracelet and it shrink,
"T-Thorns, Would this suite me? or make me look normal.." She said holding her hands together closely. "and My Name is Luna if I didn't say it before pardon" she added looking at James and saw as her necklace glowed again, "Another Element" She said.
Thorns looked at them and sighed. "Great, more people." he mumbled as he chewed on the cubes of ice. "that's much better suited for New York. But we do need to talk about something," Thorns said, looking at Luna "We should head back to my place to discuss the business you were talking about earlier."
'Yes, mother, I'll be there. You don't have to worry, I won't say anything about the boat incident. What did he even do?' Alexander's phone dangled lazily in his hand as he strolled down the street, ' Hasn't he crashed like five boats this year? Why is he still allowed a boating licence.' Turning the corner, the young blond man continued on the phone, 'You know, mother, I don't think I'll be joining you in St Tropez this year. I think I might just stay in New York. See the sights.' He arrived at a sandstone apartment building and placed his 'coffee', and he used that term extremely loosely - he was still yet to find acceptable cappuccini in the US, on the ground so that he could use his now free hand to fumble clumsily for his key card to the building. Having successfully gained entry, he picked up the takeaway cup and strolled into the building. He was greeted cheerfully by the concierge, who smiled broadly and approached him, 'Alexander, I haven't seen you in ages! Have you been back in England again?'
'No, most definitely not!' Replied Alexander with a grin, 'going home would mean having to deal with the family, sorry, I mean Duke Monteford and Duchess Astor. Not to mention the rest of their lot. No, I've just been staying in my flat in the Upper East these past few weeks, far far away from my family.'
Alexander bade farewell to the laughing concierge and continued into the lift, on his way up to his rooms. He shared the floor with some interesting New Yorkers, a lovely reprieve from the stuffy Englishmen he'd spent his childhood with. There was a family, Everett or something, and an eccentric old director of some printing company on his floor. It wasn't exactly the house back in England, or his flat in the Upper East side, but it was comfortable. A sharp 'ding' alerted him to his floor. Alexander was making his way towards his door, fumbling for his key, when he saw the strange brunette standing by the door to the Everett's place. He had seen her around the floor a few times, it was entirely possible that she was dating the Everett boy, but he had too many neighbours to keep track of these things. Regardless, his father had always taught him to be sociable - it was how a Monteford ought to act. Alexander strode over towards the young girl and put on his most charming smile, 'Hi, I'm Alexander, I live in the rooms opposite the Everett family's. I've seen you around this floor a few times and thought it was proper for me to introduce myself. How do you do?'
Keme looked up surprised when a boy approached her and introduced himself. She blinked a few times, making sure he was really talking to her and then she looked down quickly. Turning her head to the side slightly as she said in a very quiet voice. "H-Hello... I'm Keme..."
'Keme? That's an interesting name! Back home where I come from in England, I'm English if you couldn't tell by the accent, everyone has the same old boring names. They're all Elizabeth's and Henry's and William's. Awfully boring names for awfully boring people. But I've found that people have much more variety in terms of names here in New York. It's a wonderful city, isn't it? But I digress,' said Alexander, stopping himself before he scared his neighbour's guest away, 'How do you know the Everetts? They're a lovely family, excellent neighbours.'
Keme looked at him, listening patiently and didn't seem bothered by his little spiel. She nodded when he said it was a wonderful city then looked down when it was her turn to speak. "Well... me and James go to school together... He um... was the one who helped me with my math..."
Alexander nodded enthusiastically, lip pursed in a pleasant smile. James, that was the Everett boy's name, he made a mental note to write that down somewhere. 'He's quite a lovely boy, isn't he? I don't see him much around the building, though it is true that I'm not around here much.' It was quite obvious to Alexander that Keme was a shy one, and his heart went out to the girl, he'd been reasonably shy in his youth, and he remembered the difficulties well. Still smiling, he continued, 'So what school do you and James attend?'
"Atella Academy..." She said quietly, still looking down.
James heard the knock and-practically leaping-down the stairs, called "Just a moment!" to the others in his room. He opened the door and saw one of his neighbors, an English or Australian guy. He had never really bothered to ask. He looked to Keme "There's something really important going on. It has to do with our... um... ELEMENTS in science..." he said, making sure to emphasize the elements part. His eyes shifted nervously from his neighbor to Keme.
Keme's eyes widened and she nodded slowly. "Ok..." She said, her hands gripping the hem of her shirt. She looked at Alexander. "Thank you for talking with me..." She said softly before turning to the door.
Keme watched the door close and she followed after him, looking at the strange girl and the other boy, she looked down nervously, unsure what to do.
Elements, there was something peculiar about the way the young man said the word. It was as if he were talking about... No that couldn't possibly be true, could it? He had to make sure. Besides, playing detective would be a lot more fun than dinner with the Westons. Fixing his clothes, Alexander put on his most diplomatic smile and rang the doorbell.
Keme looked at James. "Should I get that?" She asked.
James looked over to Keme hearing the doorbell. He sighed. "GO AWAY!" he wanted to shout. But he didn't. He nodded to Keme, "Thank you. That would be best, I'll stay here and talk with the others"
After Kat's episode of anger, she read the text, and replied, 'I'll be there in a few, see ya.' She then drove off, with a lot less aggression in her.
James gently grabbed Keme's arm and pulled her inside. "Well... Um... Bye" he said with a slight smile and closed the door. "Follow me" he motioned with his hand. He led Keme toward his room and opened the door to reveal the two others that were there. He walked in and said softly "So, what's going on? Who are you, Luna?"
"I'm a Princess I can control have of the Universe, I could make it snow right here right now if I wanted" She said, "But that would ruin the climate ever wonder how the moon rises, I do with myself and my Violin" She said smiling.
Keme went to the door and opened it, mainly glad to get away from the big group. "Hello?" She asked the boy from before.
Kat noticed the house, it was on her left, she pulled up, and noticed people at the door, so she decided to wait in the car for a moment. She also wondered what was going on, as she could see multiple people in the other room through the window. "I guess it's definitely important, James has gathered multiple people of different personalities." She said quietly to herself.
The face that greeted him at the door was the same soft spoken girl he had met before. 'Keme! I'm awfully sorry to bother you again, but I've just realised I've some business with Mrs Everett to attend to. Just a little neighbourly gift I'd like to present to her. I think I saw her in the drawing room just before? It would lovely if you could go and grab her for me.' Alexander's smile beamed cheerfully.
Keme nodded softly. "Alright, one moment..." She said softly as she turned and went to grab Mrs. Everett.
Kat got out of the car, she started to walk to the house, and she noticed who was at the door. Alexander James Astor-Monteford, she had quite a large hatred for him. She never did like rich people, and especially him. "Hey, Alexander, how's it going. Not that I really care though." Under her breath she said, 'Fuckin' rich jerk."
