I couldn't believe this! Rylins not leading anymore, now some sick man is ruling. This is really going to be a just wonderful!! I was actually starting to get used to this, but now my world has once again changed. I mean of course I would rather be home with my family, but I think things happen for a reason
And the reason for this is that I sure as hell am going to make sure that me and everyone else get out of this place. There used to be one clear way to get out of this situation, which was to get out of the camp. But now I know that it is a thousand times bigger than that.
My plan you might ask? Well here's the wonderful news, there is no plans!! So running away may have been doable with Rylin, now with this mystery man, That's preaching to us right now I have no idea.
"Who is this guy?" I nudged Jesse . He gave me a bewildered look.
"This is Lucius Wilder"
"Soooo..." I said "I still have no idea what your talking about"
Before Jesse could finish, I heard this Lucius man say and apparently to me. "Well my lovely lady do you have something you'd like to share with us".
Before I could respond he butted in. "If it isn't the so very popular Miss Ahna, a very unusual name by the way". I snorted before he could go on.
"Your names Lucius, and my names unusual, yeah sure" I said with sarcasm dripping off my comment. Oohs echoed through the crowd. I barely knew this guy and already he irked me so bad I was becoming reckless.
His eyes bore into mine, but I refused to look away. "Why don't you come up here miss?" He said sounding very agitated.
"Why don't you come down here sir" I replied I knew I had crossed the line but worst case scenario is that he kills me. And that itself wouldn't be to bad of an option. No more pain or suffering.
"Baby calm down" Jesse whispered. But to my surprise Lucius started walking off stage and towards me Jesse and Matt. The crowd cleared a path leading him right to me. Well thanks for protecting me guys, I thought.
He came up so close to me I could smell his cologne, and hear his breathing. He brushed my hair away from my face. He leaned into my ear
"Starting now this is on babe, you humiliated me and for that your life will be a living hell"
He leaned back and looked me over "you are as pretty as they say, dear I will compliment you for that" I felt bile rise in my throat. Jesse's face was turning a deep shade of red. I could tell he was fuming. But unlike other occasions instead of speaking up he stayed quiet.
When Lucius was back on stage I pretty much tuned him out. I didn't feel like watching all those poor innocent children get there life taken way from them.
After the stupid ceremony nothing really changed for me. I walked back to my cabin, I asked Jesse and Matt to please let me be alone for a little while. My mind needed to cope with this huge change. And I think being by myself might help me clear my thoughts.
It was almost eight when I heard a knock on my door. It must be Jesse I thought but to my surprise I opened the door to nobody. I stepped out, "Hello?" I asked to my vacant yard. When I went to step back inside my foot hit something. It was a letter wrapped, in elegant (not to mention very expensive looking) cream colored envelope.
I held the very thick message in my hand while shutting the door. I plopped on the couch while opening it.
To Miss Ahna,
Mr. Wilder requests your presence at his home. Don't bring anyone. And be here before eight.
Well that's sounds kind of shady I thought while chuckling. I do not want to go over there but I better, or I could just worsen the situation I was already in with him. I had to hurry to make it before eight. I didn't really know where his house was. But it did say the 'address'.
I found the house that was less extravagant than Rylins mansion. But waaaay better than my cabin.a black gate guarded his house and yard.
Okay there's no buzzer, how am I suppose to get in? While I pondered the huge gate creaked open. Well that was easy. I made my way up to the door. And thank god for scary movies otherwise I wouldn't have know how to use the skull knocker thing that was in the middle of his door.
" if it isn't the ever famous smart
mouth" I sighed but bit my lip. As I took in the appearance of the ever famous asshole. He led me to his living room where the theme was red, black and gold. It looked really cozy, especially with the huge fireplace. It almost had a romantic feel to it.
The thought of Lucius and romantic made me want to throw up. But I held back the urge. "Have a seat dear" Lucius said while sitting on the leather couch. I hesitantly sat in the couch next to him.
"Well I'm going to get right to the point, we are going to be married and soon"
My mind was reeling. WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!? I couldn't even think of what to say. "Excuse me?" I spluttered.
"I thought you would like an explanation, I have wanted to rule The Sireth for a long time now, and I finally got the opportunity I don't intend to rule, then die and have a whole new blood line continue"
"I want this to stay in my family, and as you know only a woman can rule after a man. Rylin was able to choose who was to rule after me, and she chose you so if we married then you would rule after me, then our children"
"And if I don't marry you" I questioned.
"Then I will kill you, and your boyfriend Jesse, and I might just kill your friend Matt as well" I gasped.
"It's up to you my love" I inwardly cringed at his nickname for me.
"How do I know your not just saying that" I said angrily.
"You think I wouldn't kill someone?" He asked amused. Then he called out for someone. A maid or a cook I'm not sure which one ran in.
"Yes Sir" she squeaked.
"Come here dear" he said sweetly.
She leaned into him closely. He took out a knife from his pocket and swiftly slit her throat. "Clean this up" he yelled to the maids that had gathered. Tears were pouring from eyes.
"Don't cry baby" he said while wiping a tear away from cheek. I squirmed under his touch.
" well what do you say" he said while holding papers out to me.
"Where do I sign" I sniffled.
After the signing was over,he told me our wedding was going to be in a little less than two months. I looked at the regal grandfather clock and gasped.
"It's 8:39"
"Looks like you'll be staying the night here, would you like the left or right side of the bed?" He smirked
