We finally arrived at our destination, which appeared to be in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by dense trees. Xavier had plans to sacrifice me to his father, I was very sure of it. I could hear my past selves laughing at me. Despite his towering stature, I refused to become a victim. How would I do it, though? He could easily end my life with a simple snap of his fingers. “What? Do you want to kill me or something?” I asked when I felt him close to me. WHAT IS HAPPENING? I need to know. I looked back at him and saw his face scrunched up in confusion. No doubt he was asking himself, ‘what the hell is wrong with this lady?’ “Winter, If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it already. I HAVE done that. So, no, I do not want to kill you. We are going to have dinner here.” “I don’t see any pizza. Why are you the one being cheesy?” I rolled my eyes at him. Now that I think about it, I should have come up with something better to say. “Don’t say that aloud again,” Xavier replied. “
The fear was starting to seep in slowly and definitely. The scariest part was how he was so nice and angel-like one moment and the next moment he was actually demon-like, evil and rude. I heard the chirping of birds around me, which meant he had started time again.I am convinced now. I haven’t really doubted it, I just thought it would bring some fun to my miserable life if I pushed his buttons time and again. William and Jeremy came later on with an enormous basket full of food. They set it down and were about to leave when I spoke up.“Are you not you joining us?” I asked them. Please join us. If you don’t, Xavier might be provoked to kill me again.“No, your Highness.” they replied together and walked awayI faced Xavier with a questioning look. “What?” he asked.“Is there a way you can stop twins from talking at the same time?”“Chloe and Zoe?”“No, William and Jeremy.” they are too alike.“William and Jeremy aren’t twins. They aren’t even brothers. But unfortunately, it is not in
Xavier placed a plate of the most delicious looking chicken sandwich I had ever seen in front of me. It took me everything not to grab it and stuff the whole contraption into my mouth. You know, it meant I was actually accepting his help. I am stuck up just like that. He also said something along the lines of I would have to learn better manners. Now, not that I was agreeing with him about anything, I just wasn't sure what part of him I should defy at the moment. I'm not queen material, I'm not, but he didn't have to rub it in my face if he wanted a girl with a fancy British accent he should have gone to bloody Britain instead of coming to America to disturb my family. "What are you doing? I didn't get out of bed for nothing. Dig in," he said, urging me on with his very intense stare. I took one half of the sandwich, then looked at him slowly. "Go on, are you scared?" "Um," I stuck out my pinky, which now that I am thinking about it, I would much rather have joined my past selves in
“Good morning, Reka,” Reka turned around quickly and bowed low in my direction. She was about a finger’s width close to having a seizure when she noticed I was wearing a towel in the kitchen. She looked like she was going to protest, but she didn’t. She kept her mouth shut and went back to what she was cooking.“Reka, is there something you want to say?” I asked, leaning on the island. There was literally no need for everyone to be tense around me. “You can relax.”“I am, my princess.” She bowed to me.“Was there anything you wanted to say to me?”“Nothing, my princess.” She bowed again.“Reka…” I warned.“Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking out of turn, but I feel it is my duty to inform you that His Highness may not approve of you wearing a towel in the kitchen. It could be perceived as unbecoming of a queen and may harm your reputation. However, I am but a humble servant and it is not my place to dictate what you should or should not do.” it was almost like her words had be
During lunch, I sat at my normal table with all my friends, they were all laughing while having lunch, the twins were on either side of my seat urging me to tell them about my weekend with Xavier. There wasn’t even anything to talk about I was dead throughout the weekend but they weren’t taking me saying nothing happened they kept urging me.“I swear nothing happened” I caught Alec sitting with some other people, I wish there was at least a tiny space he could squeeze into and seat with us but our table was just so crowded, this was were the jocks, cheerleaders and every other person in the highest part of the social ladder, I wasn’t a cheerleader but I got unto the table because I was voted most likely to
"What happened to you back there?" Chloe and Zoe said. after school, that was the only time they saw me since Xavier tried to blow my eardrums earlier"What happened earlier?""Don't play dumb you were yelling and gripping your head and it was scary""Oh uh it was just a minor headache, maybe it was a side effect to my asthma," I said hoping that they would buy it, but they didn't they looked at me with their arms crossed over their chests like I was telling them a lie, I was
I felt Xavier’s lips on mine immediately I turned to face him, I knew what he was trying to do he was trying to make sure Alec knew that I was not available, that I was his. But I wasn’t his I was nobodies. But then his lips were so soft and they felt so good against mine. He was an amazing kisser, like very good at kissing I wonder if he was as good in bed as he was at kissing ′I am’oh my God he was still listening to my thoughts I forgot all about that. I pushed away from him rapidly and turned to the window to see Alec looking at us with hurt and surprise on his face when he shook his head at me like I was the most scum filled person he had ever seen then he walked away. I am such a horrible person, was I leading him on?. Xavier is just making me think that there is no stopping in the way he rubs me... the wrong way.
We finally reached where we were going but for miles, it looked like nowhere, we were in the middle of the woods and he was about to sacrifice me to his father, Not that I will let him do it or anything, I mean look at how tall he is, I was certain if I were to wear heels, the top of my head would only reach his ear“Do you want to kill me?” I asked when he came closer to me, WHAT IS HAPPENING, Xavier scrunched up his face in confusion as if to say, ‘what the hell is wrong with this lady’“No, I do not want to kill you we are going to have a picnic”
