Because favours are priced...

"You have an insatiable desire for trouble Camille Sanders. You'll never just be satisfied. You're like me, too wild for the world."
I laugh at the outrageousness. "You're dramatic I'll give you that Michae...

"Alright, what do you need from me?"
I drop down on to the chair beside Isaac. I had arrived with Isaac to the Carson's glamourous penthouse, using Isaac as an excuse to get out of the house. The fact that he was the son of Senator Winston helped more than how we shared Lit class. Isaac knew it, putting on a bright smile to get me out of my jail cell.
However, he would not explain why he had arrived, where we were going or why. Only after seeing a family picture did I realise I was in the Carson household.
Rose throws a glance at Michael who doesn't seem to be paying attention. Isaac's gaze stays on me, contemplative. Vivian replies, "It involves Katrina."
"Wallin?"
"Is there any other?" Michael asks, eyebrow raise smartly.
I smirk, "Just making sure. Continue Vivian."
"Right, we need you to do what you do best."
"And what is it that I do best?" I was curious. If the fearful royals noticed I was powerful, then I needed to know what for. And who knew.
"Ruin things."
I wonder if they could see the disappointment I felt. No. My mask was solid. But inside...that was a different case.
I thought it would feel victorious. To be known for your exceptional rebellious nature. I had announced to the world I was at odds with my stepmother through the most cunning way possible. It was sophisticated, smart and almost admirable.
But the royals knew I had a dirtier side. They'd seen parts of my plan and how low I could sink. I was best known for ruining things. Not being a badass rebel.
That sucked. But it was something. Oh well, time to unleash a little bit of rage I guess.
"She's blackmailing all of you right? That's why you aren't stopping her. Wow, who'd think wannabe Regina had the skill set to silence the royals?"
"Watch it bitch. Nothing is stopping us from handling you."
I smirk. "Wouldn't bet on that darling." My gaze runs over the hazel orbs avoiding my dark eyes. "Anyway," I lean back, "you need me now."
She bites her tongue and backs off. Michael leans forward then, "Why do you assume she's blackmailing us?"
"Why do you assume I am assuming?"
"What do you know?"
I laugh haughtily. "What don't I at this point? Let's just say, I know enough, but I'm willing to help you guys. You aren't so terrible after all. So I'll play nice." I look over to Viv and she sighs.
"She's...I guess she can be trusted not to do anything bad yet. We were already taking a chance when we took her in."
Rose blinks at the French girl, "This is coming from the girl who was bitter about her stealing the ambassador position?"
