The Choice

Ch.8

" Out." I said to my maids as soon as a walked into my room.

" But miss," Piper said bowing.

" I'm sorry, but right now I want to be left alone. I have a headache." I told them. Really all I wanted to do was go to Willow and comfort her. My maids nodded and shuffled out of the room.

I waited about fifteen minutes, and then I slipped out of my room, still in my blue party gown. I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and I quickly ran back into my room. I shut the door just as the person came up the stairs. My curiosity took over and I peaked out of my door. In any other tower, I wouldn't of seen anything, but the truth is that my door lit up the whole room.

Lisa's door was just closed shut and I heard a quick shuffle of feet. I just turned around and went back inside my room to my bed. After a few minutes I heard a loud echoing scream from Lisa's room.

Was she hurt? Was she eliminated? I quickly rushed out of my room and across the tower to her door. As soon as I got to her door, I remembered her door closing. someone was defiantly in there with her. Unless it was just her, and she closed the door. But the steps didn't sound like heels, and she was wearing heels at the party. I took a deep breath and opened her door. At first, I saw nothing, just a dimly lit room and the perfectly made bed. As my eyes scanned the room, I saw, in the corner, in her sitting area, Lisa was pushed against the wall and a guard was kissing her fiercely. She didn't really try to get him of of her, but she wasn't really kissing him back either. I watched in horror as his hand ran up and down her leg and up her dress. His other hand was gripping her amazing brown curls into a mess, keeping her from going anywhere. She whimpered in defeat like a little puppy. Then I did the most idiotic thing I could think of; I walked out of the room.

I was getting help. Yup, that's what I was doing. I ran down the stairs and stumbled along trying to find someone, at least with a little authority. No such luck. It was late at night and almost everyone from the party was probably asleep. I stumbled across who I thought was an official, but when I looked up I saw Gabe, The Gabe, the host of the Report, looking down at me. I sighed with relief, and told him everything.

" Just promise, not to air this!" I told him after I was done. He just laughed and shook his head.

" Do you really think I'm that arrogant?" He said with a chuckle. When he wasn't on air, he was a different person.

" You go get Christain and King Brack, and I'll go get them." I said running back down the hallway. As I mad my way up the stairs, I decided to come running into her room and tell her that I forgot something really important at the part and I was wondering if she picked it up. I ran over to her room where I burst in.

" Lisa! I wa- was wondering if you ha- happened to p- pick up my comb." I said still catching my breath. They both looked up from their spot on the bed, and Lisa jumped up the first opportunity she got. She ran over to me half naked and cowered behind me. I gave the guard a stern look before ushering her out of her room and into mine. I set her up with a shower and a night gown and let her fall asleep on my bed as I heard the yelling from inside Lisa's room.

I woke up lying on the window seat, the sunshine flooding my room. For a moment I could forget all the troubles, and then they came all rushing back to me. Lisa was still lighting snoring on my bed nestled into the covers. Her natural shinny curls spread out in waves on the pillow. Her eyes fluttered open and she stretched out, pointing her toes.

She looked at me with a horror in her eyes and started breathing sharp breaths and crying.

" It's okay, is will be okay." I told her. I dug in my closet for a long dress, for her, and a normal dress for me. Her being taller than me, she needed the long dress. I took a bath and my maids helped us with our makeup.

I opened the door to a sharp knock. An older guard stood there with his hat in his hands. Lisa's eyes got wide and she shrieked at the the sight of him.

" Wait here." I told him.

" Can you take the message please?" I whispered to Emma. She nodded and walked to the door. I walked into my closet and started to comfort Lisa.

" I-I I, can't s- stay here! Th- they are, ever- everywhere!" She stuttered between tears.

" No, it's okay." I said as I rubbed he back.

" No! It's not!" She yelled at me and then fell down face first onto the floor.

" Girls, the king and the prince would like to see you both." Emma said from the door.

" Let's get you cleaned up." I said as I helped her up.

" I'm going home." she said, " I don't care what anyone says, I don't care if Christian won't send me home, I'm going home."
