A Shot In The Dark (ReaverxPrincess)

Chapter 4

 
Reaver had come to the castle to talk to Logan about how much he must pay his workers. He had hoped he would run into the princess again but he was disapointed when he didn't. He met Logan in the war room. He could tell something was wrong with him Logan usually met him in the thrown room."what are you doing here Reaver?" He was leaning on the war table studying it as if to find something.
"I do hope you haven't forgotten about our meeting." Reaver was curious the king never forgot about their meeting when there was money involved. "I have bigger problems to deal with." Logan words were filled with venom."My sister left the castle we need to find her." Reaver's usual cocky expression faded he had just met her yesterday. He remebered seeing her around the castle but he was never able to introduce himself because of Logan he never aloud anyone to get near his sister. Reaver thought he was to over protective."I doubt she could have gotten far." Reaver reasurred him. "I will do what ever it takes to help, so long as it benefits me of course." Reaver's usual cocky expression spread across his face putting on his usual show. He would hate for anything to happen to the princess which he thought was odd he usually only cared about himself he hasn't care for anyone else since he made his deal with the shadow court. "If we do not find her she could cause us many problems." Logan's expression softened he sat in his chair."She will try to stop me after what I made her do the other day. She's the only family I have left, she still had faith in me and now she thinks that I am truley a monster." He pit his head in his hands. "If only she knew of the threat we face." Reaver started to feel pity for Logan. He knows what it's like to be thought of as a monster especialy when he's been alive for as long as he has. "Well that is truely a pity." He sighed. "Might I ask what exactly you made her do?" He couldn't help it his curiousity got the better of him. He remembered seeing her in the court yard on the edge of the court yard with tears in her eyes. He had studied her she was taller then most girls, she was very beautiful she looked like her mother in most ways thankfuly. Her long light brown hair was braided to the side and her emerald eyes seemed to shine in the light. Tears ran down her face and she was humming a song that was very familiar to him he despised the song but unwilling to shoot her he decided to talk to her before she even go through the first words of the song. She did have a marvilous voice though. "I made her choose to who would be executed Elliot or some protesters. She did something I had not expected she chose Elliot." He looked up twards the war table. "I know she loved him, she will never forgive me and she will not allow me to continue hurting the people." Reaver actually felt a bit of relief that she had chosen the boy he couldn't explain what he felt but he liked the princess more than anyone he has known in quite a long time. "Then we must find her quickly. We also need to disscus the wages I have to pay my workers." Logan just continued studying the war table. "Pay them whatever you wish as long as we continue making money I do not care. I have bigger concerns right now." Logan looked very concerned about his current situation Reaver didn't know if it was for his younger sister or for free of losing his crown. He knows all to well when you are thought to be a monster it can consume everything you are whether your intentions are selfish or noble.

Reaver returned to his mansion near Bower lake. He was having another one of his weekly parties for his secret society. People were dancing and drinking. Most of the guest had passed out drunk. Reaver wasn't in the mood to enjoy himself he couldn't stop thinking about Amelyn. She made him feel something he hadn't felt since before the destruction of oakvail. Reaver cringed at the thought of it he pushed his feelings aside like he has always done and began to join in the festivities hoping to lose himself once again.
