Victoria's Pov
After Louis left me in this room I didn't even bother with looking at the room before I flung myself on the bed, which I must say is very fluffy and soft like a marshmallow, and started crying. I know I did this to save my aunt, but I'm now stuck in this castle with the worlds most dangerous person with out even a prospect of ever seeing my aunt let alone escaping this dreadful place. After a few moments I'm able to calm myself and look around the room. Its very beautiful, a soft blue color coats the walls, there's a white dresser vanity with a mirror. I notice some window doors that lead to a balcony but before I can go out there's a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" I ask as I see a tall guy with jet black hair, tan skin, soft brown eyes.
"Hi, I'm Zayn and I'm here to get your measurements for your dress for dinner. Your Victoria right?" He says, it's then that I notice that he's carry a measuring tape.
"Yes. Dinner? He was serious about that?" I ask
"Louis never jokes, at least not anymore." Zayn says.
"What do you mean?"
"You don't know the story? Well I'll let Louis explain it to you." Zayn said.
"OK, then. I'm not going to dinner though." I said.
"Oh but you must other wise Louis will be mad and there's no telling what he'll do. Plus me and the boys will be there as well and we aren't that bad. Compared to Louis lately we're like lollipops." Zayn said.
"Do you promise that it won't be awkward?"
"I promise. Lets get you dressed then?"
"I guess so." I replied. So after two hours of being poked, prodded, pulled and pushed but we finally had a dress that looks incredible on me if I do say so myself. The dress was blue to compliment my pale skin, it had a black on the front with it going around my waist. It was beautiful. " Victoria you look beautiful that I don't even need to do your make up." "Thank you Zayn, but are you sure? My eyes and cheeks aren't red or anything?" I ask feeling a little self conscience. "No you look Beautiful. Well I need to go and get ready my self. Louis said he would come and get you when dinner is ready. " "Ok, thanks Zayn I'll see you in a bit then." With that Zayn left and softly closed the door to my room.
It must of been about an hour that I waited until there's yet another knock but before I can say anything the person walks in. It's the last person I want see at the moment. "Are you ready?" Louis asks.
"As ready as I'll ever be, I guess." I replied in a monotone. Apparently he did not like my tone, cause he got a scowl on his face and just turned around and walked out. I stood there for a bit out of nerves. I jumped a little when i heard him yell " Are you coming or just gonna stand there all night!?!" I quickly shuffled out the room and got into step behind him. Lets get this dinner over with.

We enter a large dinning hall that has windows for one side of the room looking over what must be a lake in the back. It looked breathe taking with fog rolling off it and some ducks and ducklings swimming around. The sun was just setting when I hear some one clear their throat. "So Victoria these are my best mates." Louis says as I see seven other people. One at a time they come up and introduce themselves. "Hi! I'm Harry." One says, he has curly brown hair and vibrant green eyes that look like they have a bit of mischief in them. He looks like a cheeky lad. Harry steps back and another one steps forward. He has short brown hair and hazel eyes. I get an older brother type vibe from him. "Hi, I'm Liam" he shakes my hand and steps back while a blonde guy steps forward. He has blue eyes, His hair is blonde but I can see some brunette roots, he must dye his hair. "Hey, I'm Niall." He says as he hugs me. He gives one the best hugs I've ever had other then my aunt. Niall steps back and Zayn steps forward. "We've met already." Zayn says as he too hugs me.
After Zayn pulls away and steps back another guy with bright red hair and pale skin comes up brings me into a massive hug and says " I'm Michael, but you can call me Mikey." " Hi Mikey" I giggle. Mikey steps back and a tall guy with a lip ring comes up next and he too hugs me. "I'm Luke." "Like from Star Wars?" " A girl after my own heart" he says while stepping back.
Another guy with black hair and olive skin comes up and says " Hey, I'm Calum." He hugs me the goes back to where he was standing and the last guy comes up. He has light brown slightly curly hair and introduces himself. "Hiya, I'm Ashton." " Hi, I'm Victoria." I say to them all. "Alright now that we all know each other lets sit and eat." Louis says then he goes over to a chair next to the end and pulls it out. "Victoria this will be your seat next to me." I quickly go over before he gets mad again and sit in the chair while everyone just watches. After I sit Louis goes to sit at the head of the table and the everyone else sit in what I guess is their spots at the long dining table. Fortunately where my seat is I have the perfect view of the lake and the sunset. I'm knocked out of my thoughts when I hear my name being called. "So Victoria what do you like to do?" Liam asks.
"Oh uh, I like to read and listen to music. I help my aunt with her baking. Or I used to anyway." I begin to say but then get a sad smile when I remember that I may never see her again. I think they notice my mood change cause then another question is being asked. "Really, whats your favorite books?" Aston asks. "Well anything really, but my favorite is Pride & Prejudice, I've read it four times. Only I forgot to pack it when I went looking for my aunt."
"What about music? What are some of your favorite bands?" Niall asks.
"Well my dad used to listen to Def Leppard, Journey, Bad Company, and Queensrieche. Then I got to listening to Fall Out Boy, All Time Low, and Nickleback, GreenDay and a lot of others. So I guess I stay into the rock genre of music, but I love listening to new artists."
"So where are your parents? If you don't mind me asking." Harry says.
"Oh well my parents and my two sisters died in a car crash when I was six, and I was sent to live with my aunt."
"I'm sorry."
"Its fine, really." I don't say much even though it happened a long time ago I still miss them. Just then a plate of food is set in front of me. It's chicken and it smells amazing. Louis is quiet and just watches me out of the corner of his eye through the whole dinner. The chicken is divine and I can't help but let a small smile grace my lips. After everyone is done eating Louis stands and clears his throat. We all look to him and wait for him to say something. "Tomorrow will two of please take Victoria on a tour of the castle and the property, until then its time we all go to bed. Its been a long day for everyone. Harry, can you take Victoria back to her room and Liam & Aston Can I talk to you both please?" He says. Louis comes to the back of my chair and pulls it out and the he offers his hand to help me up. Why is he being so sweet all of a sudden? I get up and Harry is waiting for me by the door. Once I reach him we head back to my room where Harry hugs me goodnight and leaves. I change into a set of pjs that were laid on my bed and crawl into the bed and fall into a deep sleep with the mystery that is Louis in my dreams.
