Little Town of Torriden (rewriting off Wattpad)

9 ~ Warm feelings

The four sat down on the elegant chairs for breakfast. The wonderful scent of pancakes with fruit invaded the room, causing the girls to smile in anticipation. Watching a server walk across the spacious dining room and place down the beautifully arranged meal, everyone began to eat, using the flowered utensils to cut up the pancakes. Sebastian and Kian stayed unsettlingly quiet while the sisters whispered and laughed about Liam and Louis. A few times, the girls looked up to see the brothers coldly look back at them before continuing to eat. As the four finished, they questioned where everyone else could be, but didn't think too much of it, leaving the table in different directions.

Annora stayed with Estelle to help pick out a dress for her and Louis's date. Passing by the many painted portraits in the hall, they almost laughed at the thought that they would someday be a mere painting in a hall, a hall some people admired while going to do what they actually cared about. Entering Estelle's room, they headed straight for her closet. Opening up the large wooden doors into an extravagant selection of dresses, they chose a couple for Estelle to try on. Their first choice was a simple, light green ruffled dress, with puff sleeves going half way down the arm. Another option was far too fancy, although pleasing to the eye, for it was a light pink, volumized dress with sewn flowers scattered around in a thoughtful but not too uniform pattern, and the bottom half of the dress had many layers. Their final decision was a baby yellow, simple picnic dress with slightly puffed sleeves, tighter around the waist, and a flowy bottom.

Estelle looked absolutely stunning. The two hugged before hearing a crisp knock on their door. It was Liam, holding a bouquet of flowers, of which included baby's breath, light yellow roses, with rep tips, and an assortment of others for filling up the empty space. Estelle and Liam turned a barely noticeable shade of rose, looking at each other before Annora spoke.

"Well, I will leave you two on your date. Have funn." Annora shared with an exaggeration on the word "fun" before Liam moved out of the way for Annora to pass by.

"You look incredibly gorgeous." Liam beamed as he held out his arm for Estelle to take.

"You look very lovely as well." Estelle returned the facial expression before the two walked out of the room, arms intertwined.

"I was thinking we could walk around town, maybe get to know eachother better, and maybe get something to eat or drink?" Liam practically shined in joy, although Estelle noticed a small hint of worry. It was a small detail that had seemed to be something Liam was trying to hide, but Estelle knew he shared a nervous feeling with her.

"That sounds wonderful." Estelle gave a reassuring smile and the two walked out of the castle to embrace the beautiful sunny day, nodding and smiling to townspeople nearby, who always returned the kind greetings, no matter what they seemed to be doing at the moment.

Sebastian sat in a grand chair towering over his head as he took out his ink and quill to begin writing in his journal. Opening the old leather notebook, he took his time to write thoughtfully, and for everything to sound smooth when read through. The sound of him flipping the crisp paper, his quill hitting the book, and the crackling fire was enough to make one fall asleep. The peaceful ambience always seemed to grow when Sebastion would write. The man had been writing in his journal ever since his mother passed away from a horrible swimming incident. He wanted to tell himself that it was just a terrible accident, but he always had a terrible feeling in the back of his mind. His mother had always been a great swimmer, but never swam out into the unforgiving waves the ocean had to offer. They say she swam too far out, and that the ocean took her, a beautiful soul being swept away by a cold and heartless environment, but Sebastian never could think too much of it. Nor could he ever bring himself to imagine the details and pain she must have dealt with before the waves finally took her away completely.
