The ascendant

Chapter 6

Camilla's POV

It's dinner time. I walk to the dining room and find a seat. Just a few minutes later, someone sits beside me. Will.

"Right, told you we will meet again."
I just stay quiet. I'd be talking to him right now but I'm trying to avoid his stare.

"Okay, maybe you're not in mood of small talk."

We finish dinner and I go to my room. I open the door and I see a man facing to the windows. He turns to me as I open the door. He walks closer to me. Now it's so close I can see his face clearly.
" What are you doing in my room?"

"Just waiting for you"

He didn't let me speak and grabbed my hand.
" Where are you taking me?"

" You'll see later."
The hallway is dark, I can barely see anyone. It's silent, and if I'm talking right now the only thing people will hear through the hallway is my voice. But the only thing I could hear is our footsteps. It's Getting faster and and louder, the sounds of the heels and it seems like we are running right now. He takes me to a room. A secret room outside the school dormitory.

He stops. He opens the door and let me in first. A secret garden.
" So, why did you take me here, Prince Will?"

" Just Will, please."

"Okay Will, so why are you taking me here in the middle of the night?"

" I thought you needed someone to talk to, about something."
"You didn't answer me before, at dinner. I thought there were something wrong."

"No, Will there is nothing happening."

He moves his face closer to mine and his fingers are under my chin, he brings my face up to look at him.
"You can trust me Camilla."

"I'm sorry, I need to go."

I try walking away from him, but his hand grips my finger and he brings me back. He hugs me and say "Please, give me a chance Camilla. I need to know you more."

He takes my face towards his and press his lips to mine. His kiss is warm and comforting. He kiss me harder like he's not going to let me go. He stops for a while to let me breathe. " I've fallen in love with you Camilla."
