Beloved Revenge (on hold)

Chapter 4 - Inner Circle

Elias puts his hand on my back, "Now, what is your name?"

"Archibald Abbott, from Pittsburgh." I answer, getting a little nervous about the other questions and things he's planning to do.

"Interesting, I have never been there." States Elias as we round a corner, entering a large room.

We are in the higher part of the room, most of the people are in the lower part, by the fireplace and bar. Mainly just joking and laughing.

"This is where most spend their free time." Elias half shouts and everyone yells. Everyone turns and stares at me, laughing and talking falling silent. "Archibald, these are my people."

I look around at them. Most are men but there are a few girls, all about late teens and early twenty's, staring at me.

Elias glances at me, then back at them with a smirk, "I know you all want to watch me test him but I do not think I will. Archibald and I - I think - will be great friends."

Everyone cheers and practically goes back to what they're doing except for about eight people, of which starting to walk over to us.

"So this is the one you all found in the forest." A woman with mysterious grey eyes and deep brown hair says looking me up and down, obviously pleased. She edges closer to Elias and takes his hand.

She's his weakness, I think, seeing the way he relaxes a bit.

I glance around me and seeing the eight people who came over now surrounding me. "Can I leave now?" I question, becoming nervous in a matter of seconds.

"Apparently you did not hear what I said. We are going to be great friends. Which means you belong here from now on, and will become one of us." Elias informs, showing off his authority to command whatever he wants, and getting it.

Everyone right there laughs except the woman holding Elias' hand.

Over her shoulder I see Lucinda, coming over calm but anyone could sense her urgency.

A/N. Sorry, it has taken longer than expected, yet that's also why I am publishing it when while it's shorter.
