The Grrr Games

Chapter 27

Vicky's POV

While Damon and I served breakfast, everyone gave me curious looks. They were all thinking something like 'who's the new girl' or 'is she gonna be the queen'.

Damon and I didn't even talk to each other. We didn't want to give them any hint that we were mates before he revealed it in the meeting he has called for after lunch.

After we were done serving breakfast Damon told me to tour the house and find our room to get changed into something for the meeting.

I go through what seems to be the main hall and smile at all those who pass.

There are way more people than I thought there would be on this house! I passed maybe 10 people in just that short hall.

Some of them were nice enough to smile at me and other just frowned and looked away.

The people who didn't smiled happened to be all of the girls around my age. Apparently they assume that I'm his mate, therefor losing there chance with him.

They were all kinda slutty to. You know, low cut shirts, short skirts, caked on make-up. You know, just the stereo-typical slut.

I get to the grand entrance and look around for another hall.

Bam! Right in the other side of the room is this huge marble spiral staircase.

What the fuck? How in hell did I miss this?

I climb up the stairs and in front of me is two halls. I go down the one to my left and look around. There are doors on the right side of me but there are pictures on the right.

I look at the first picture and it's one of those super old, bad quality pictures.

It's a picture of a couple, looking happy with their arms around each other and smiles on their faces.

There is a little gold plate under it with the year 1844 on it.

I move down to the next picture. It's once again a couple, looking happy, with a year underneath it.

As I move down the pictures they all look the same, just with different people.

I get to the most recent picture and it says 1987. The people on the picture look familiar, but I just can't put my finger on it.

"Those are pictures of all of our past kinGs and they're mates." I hear from behind me.

I turn around to find a man, maybe a bit older than me, with blonde hair and brown eyes.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Damon's best friend. You must be Vicky."

"How did ya know?"

"I watched you a bit in the games. Pretty impressive."

"Yeah whatever, I'm just glad I'm out."

"Aren't we all."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Oh, it's just that since your Damon's mate, he was kinda going all bitch-mode on everyone when you were gone."

"Oh." This makes sense. I imagine his face all red, his jaw and hands clenched tight, his eyes narrowing.... Kinda hot.

"So what about these pictures?"

"They are pictures of all of our past kings and their mates."

"What's the date underneath the picture?"

"That's the year they mated."

"Cool." The most resent picture must be his parents then. No wonder they looked familiar, Damon has the same facial structure as his dad and the same hair color as his mom.

"So what are you doing up here?"

"Damon told me to find our room."

"Well, your heading in the wrong direction. Your gonna want to go down the other hall. The left wing is where all of the visitors stay. The right wing is reserved for the king and queen." Awe, I'm a queen.

"Thanks! See ya around." I turn and go back down the other hall.

Down this hall is three doors, two on my left, one on my right. I open the first door on my left and am surprised to see a huge, high ceiling library.

I skim the spines of the books, there is every kind of book in here!

Romance, mystery, smart-people books, everything!

At the back of the library are a few couches and chairs but also a bay window. It looks comfy with all of the pillows and thick cushion.

I put the spot to memory and promise that I will be back later.

I exit the room and go to the next door on the left.

It seems to be Damon's office. There is a desk, chair, bookshelves, and some filing cabinets.

The chair catches my eye and an idea pops into my head.

Before I can stop myself I'm running over to the chair and spinning around in it.

I quickly get out once I realize what I am doing and run out the door before anyone catches me.

I go to the last door, slowly opening the door, and my jaw drops when I see what is behind that door.
