Hell's Empire

Dining Halls ; Ch.14

We made our way through the many hall of the 'Castle of Doom'. Harry was walking beside me, still not making contact with me, but he stood next to me. I felt safer now,
"Where are we going to Harry?" He looked at me and then back at the hall way.

"The dining hall." He slowed his pace down, allowing me to catch up.

"But Im dead. I don't need to eat." I spoke confused, why would I eat? Why would he eat? Do we need to eat? Questions raided my mind like a plague.

"Because my curious Fawn, it makes us feel alive. Even if it is such a small act. Now heads up." He spoke as we approached a large golden door. I couldn't really focus, he just called me 'his' and he expects me to pay attention. I smiled and faced the floor, until I felt his finger tips graze my chin.

"Stay focused Fawn." I nodded still smiling like an idiot. He turned around and opened the large doors, Edward and Marcel sat at a large rectangular table with many candles and chandeliers, it looked like a fancy date.

"Hello Fawn. How did you and Harry sleep?" Marcel stood from his seat and walked over to us. His long suit swayed as he stepped towards us, his hair was slick and laid back and his glasses that took up most of his face, glistened with all the lights.

"Admiring me much?" He spoke as he held his hand out. I shook my head and then his offer.

"One can only dream. I dream." He shook Harry's then waited for Edward to stand.
Harry frowned at Marcel, who just chuckled and walked to the side.

"Hades, Apollo messaged, Adriana has trouble getting here." I looked over at Harry, his face held a ghost smile but he looked awfully stern.

"Alright. Breakfast." He huffed and placed his hand on my back walking me to my seat.
Who's Adriana?

"Athena, Athena is Adriana. She has a proper name. We all do." Marcel read my mind again. I didn't like it, but at least he answered my question.

Edward eyed me, "She has no claim. Meaning she could be mine." Edward stood and walked towards me, he looked hungry and evil. Within the blink of an eye, Harry had Edward pinned against the wall by his neck.

"She isn't anyone's to claim. She's an angel, God forbid you touch her. I forbid you touch her." He yelled in Edwards face.

"And what would you do? We are you. You hurt us, you hurt yourself. Remember that, Harold because if you don't you might just weaken." I stared at the scene, completely confused. What does he mean, 'we are you", I looked at Harry who seemed angry.

"I will do everything in my power to keep you contained, that is a promise brother." Edward's smile faded and he gulped. Harry let him go and raced back to me.

"Shall we eat then Fawn?" I couldn't focus anymore and I stepped away from Harry and looked at all three men. I tried to figure out what Edward meant by, 'we are you."
Yet nothing clicked in my mind.

"It's best you leave it Fawn." Marcel walked towards me.

"Again with the mind reading? Those are my personal thoughts." I scolded Marcel, this habit needed to stop. I looked back at Harry and cleared my mind.

"Let's eat then." I spoke quietly and walked towards Harry.
