Coming For The Crown

Seven

I wake up to people pushing me, I put my hands up to show that I'm awake. I turn over to my side making my elbow support me, I rub my eyes before opening them. I look over to see that there is light coming from the windows, and it looks very bright so it must be still morning but almost noon. I look to see that it is Kate who is waking me up, I notice that Lewis and Ruby are also up. No one else was up, just me. 

I look at them confessed on why I'm waking up and no one else. "We saw- little girl- hallway. " Is what I got from Kate. I shake my head, let's think about this. That's when it hits it's me, it could the girl that Elliot wa- needed to come here. "Do you mean to say, you saw a little girl in the hallway?" I ask to make sure I'm right. All three nod their heads, I smile at them. Now he has a girl and if anything happens, he has help. What is he planning? And my family is all here.

I get up and head to my room, after telling Kate, Lewis, and Ruby to stay. I head to my closet and change into a light pink dress that is a square neck dress. It goes to mid-thigh, puffy shoulders, with lines that are a little lighter than the dress. I also chose nude high heels to wear, in these heels I can hear the clicks of my shoes hitting the floor. 

I walk back to Jonah's old room; I get there and see everyone awake now. I walk in and they all look at me. "Kate, which room did they the girl into?" I ask the little girl next to my brother. She looks away from her father and looks at me. "Four rooms- that way." She says pointing west of here. I smile at her and look at my family. "I hope you see you all later, but I must go see a guest." I state, they all nod knowing the same thing I know. That Elliot's whoever is here in my castle, and I was going to find out what's wrong. 

I see that Jonah is nodding his, like he can read my mind. "Be nice about it through, it might be someone he really cares about." He says while looking dead in my eyes, I nod my head. I smile and wave at everyone before leaving. I head straight for the room that the girl is supposed to be in. When I get closer, I see Elliot sitting outside the room bouncing his leg while looking at the floor. 

He looks up at me when he hears me get closer, and I swear I saw him look me up and down. He looks at my face, I could see that he has been cry by his red face with tears marks on it.  He looks like total mess, in other words. I noticed how he was wearing the same thing from yesterday meaning that he didn't even pack anything. "I know we aren't friends, but please... please don't take out on her." he interprets my thoughts, his voice is starchy and cracked at least 4 fours in just one sentence. I take a beath and crouch down, I'm at his knee so I put my hand on his knee.  "I promise I won't take it out on her. Just answer this, who is she?" I ask him, him nods his head. Like he knew this going to happen. 

He closes his eyes; I could tell from the bags under his eyes that he is tried. He opens them and looks dead in my eyes. "I would get a sit, it's a long story." He says while with a sot smile. I nod my head and walk into the room next to us. I get the chair in front of the vanity and drag the chair into the hallway.  I put in right next to Elliot, before sitting down. "Okay, I'm ready." I state, he nods head like he could see that.

He takes a deep beath then looks away, like he is thinking of everything. Or how to word the story. "When I sixteen I was reckless. I only thought about myself, I sleep around with a lot of women." He starts, his eyes go wide when he says, 'a lot of women'. "I didn't think about what I was doing. My parents didn't stop me, because well they had two boys, so they didn't care about me," I watch the sadness flash through his eyes, "Well, one day a ship came in. And on that ship, there was the prettiest women I ever had ever seen. I had interduce myself to her, and before I know it, I fell in love with her." He pauses while looking at the floor with a small smile. It looked as if he was seeing her.

His smile drops, as soon as it appeared. "Eventually, we led to intercourse. I thought we both in love, so we didn't think about doing anything." He raises his eyebrows and looks at me. They didn't do anything to stop from having a child. "Well, 2 months later she told me that she had not bleed. We knew what this meant, that she was with a child. My child." He says while a smile formed back on his face. "I told my parents that they are going to be grandparents. They weren't pleased but they couldn't do anything. I was there the whole time she was with my child. we didn't call us lovers or anything, even though I wanted to." He takes a deep breath and shakes his head. "I didn't think anything much about being king, due to my brothers. So, I figured could live with her and raise our child," I can't help but notice how much is he saying 'I thought' in his story. 

He looks at me, here we so many emotions in his eyes I couldn't tell you all of them. "She gave birthday to my daughter on the twelfth month of the second day. I named Amara, it's Greak for grace. Cause the minute she was born she was already graceful; I swear." He says while shaking his head, you could see the happiness in his eyes. "They lived right outside the kingdom. Not too far, but just a little. Well two months after Amara was born her mother left her. She left me a note saying she wanted the king, not a prince that couldn't get her anywhere. My grace was left in that cabin, they left two days before I got there." He shakes his head remembering it; I could feel my heart feel hate for the women for some reason. 

He looked at the door, he let out a shaky breath. "A year later my brother was killed. My other brother refused to take the crown, leaving me a single father of a girl not knowing anything about ruling a kingdom to rule. My parents didn't even teach me the basics, they just said you're the next king. " His voice cracked while talking about his parents. I thought his parent were amazing parents, but in real life they only loved the two kids that could give them something. And he just said that is brother was killed, we thought that he just died. 

He looks down at me, "In that room is my daughter, who was poisoned by someone in my castle. The person I was talking to outside the gate yesterday was her godfather. He was telling my child was dying, and only your kingdom had the remedy. We expect it to be my parents who are trying to kill my kid." He says while finishing up his story. I hug him, I don't usually hug anyone. "I'm so sorry." I say to him, he hugs me back and breaks. He cries on my shoulder which felt like hours when it was only a few minutes. I never let him go; I rub circles on his back. I think he a little nice, just a little.
