Oh What A Tragedy | Mcu X Hp.

ACT I - Part IX

The house quickly began to become fuller and fuller when more and more people arrived as darkness began to fall. Eventually the family found themselves sitting around the table in what could only be described as suffocating silence.

Turner attempted to make conversation by complementing Lady Iwaldi on her house and gardens while everyone else silently ate. Jane had already gone through the woes of how hard it was for here to fond love, which then lead to a screaming match when John had uttered the comment "I wonder why". Jackson and Louise were not so subtly glaring at one and other and occasionally shaking the table in attempts at kicking the other.

Killian sat awkwardly, obviously feeling out if place in what was clearly a family event, of sorts anyway. Odin sat at the head of the table, engaging in scattered conversation with his wife on one side of him and his sister in law in the other. Beside Frigga sat John who at this stage had tuned out completely. Across from John sat Imogen with Sigyn beside her and Jane beside Sigyn. Loki sat directly across from Sigyn and the Twins beside him with Oliver at the corner while Thor sat beside Jane and The grandfather sat at the other end opposite Odin, entirely unconscious.

Lavinia had been squeezed in horizontally from Killian inbetween her sister and her aunt and she inspected the man closely. She had seen him late the night before with her sister, down on his knees, a proposal perhaps? She had seen him the day previous as well, standing in front of her sister who stood half naked and soaking wet, he was no doubt putting her to shame. It was safe to say that Lavinia had developed a significant dislike for the boy over the week and was determined to keep him away from her poor innocent elder sister who obviously did not see through his lies.

The young girl had heard s ok me yard workers use a word once that seemed to describe someone awful, in the context that they had used it anyway and she wondered if it would word to insult Creed as well. And so, while looking straight at him and never breaking eye contact, Lavinia spoke loudly over the quite talking and asked, "What's a Whore?".

There was Silence.

And then Chaos.

Thor, Jackson and Louise burst out Laughing while Loki and Sigyn tried their best to hide their own laughter. Oliver simply sighed and grabbed the bottle of wine from the centre of the table and taking a swig straight from the bottle. Deep crimson blush blossomed on Killians face as he caught sight of Lavinias intense stare which was no bearing a triumphant Smirk. Odin, Frigga and The girl in questions mother began to yell, specifically at their elder kids believing one of them had thought her to word.

John snatched the bottle off of his nephew and gulped down the remainder for himself while his sisters gasped dramatically, scandalized. Grandfather slept through it all and turner sat awkwardly in the middle of it all praying that someone would swoop in and save him from an eternity spent with these people.

Loki began to fail at holding in his laughter, as did his cousin.

~~~~~~~~~~~

That dinner came to a quick end after Lavinias outburst leaving the younger half of the party sitting awkwardly in the sitting room while Lavinia got a stern lecture from her mother, uncle and aunts. Nobody had bothered to wake the grandfather. In the living room, Jackson and Louis sat on the mat in front of the fire playing a very aggressive game of chess while Oliver leaned on the mantle piece watching them with a bored expression. Killian sat awkwardly on an armchair feeling more out of place than ever while eyeing Turner who was trying his utmost best to make conversation with his future bride who sat in the sofa across from them with Loki and Thor.

"So" began Marshall directing his question at Sigyn "do you..... ride?" "No" came to blunt response before Thor nudged he sharply "I don't ride..... do you...ride Mr. Turner?" She asked "um no" he replied nervously "You can call me Marshall" "Marshall" she repeated with a forced smile "unfortunate name" muttered Jackson causing Oliver to kick him in the back.

At that exact moment Odin decided to re-enter the room dragging a unwilling Lavinia behind him following them was the rest of the party.

A lecture then ensured with br he entire family ending with a stern reminder that that 'sort of language' was not to be used in either house.

~~~~~~~~~~

It was eventually decided that wednesday that the wedding would take place on Sunday, that's until an unexpected turn of events of the Friday.

Lavinia was alone in the gardens on the Thursday evening when she saw a man. He was dressed in a well tailored black suit and stood tall, glancing around the place as though he were waiting for someone. Lavinia had only seen this man once before two years ago. Then, he had stood in the same spot wearing the same suit but had been approached by Sigyn. They had spoken or rather, argued before her sister had stormed off and the man and turned with a sigh and, seemingly, disappeared into thin air.

In the past two years, Lavinia had written the ordeal off as the result of the overactive imagination of a twin year old but now when she saw him again she began to question herself.

Now one thing that is very important to remember is that Lavinia was a people pleaser, more importantly she held the constant, desperate need to please her mother. So, it goes with out saying that the young girl was fully behind that marriage and was willing to do anything to ensure it went ahead.

This need for validation was what would cause the violent death of a men in the coming days.

Heyyy

I am so sorry I have had barely any time or motivation to wrote lately but I promise I'm going to try harder. Also I know this first act has been boring but there is only about two or three chapters left and then on to Act 2! I already have a couple of scenes sitting in my notes app for Act 2 which I'm quite excited for because it will be much much darker.

Anyway this chapter is bad and I go back to school next Friday :).

Bye
