The Immortal Bound (The Immortals Series Book 1)

~Chapter 7~

A/N
Spoiler Alert! This is where they meet the girls!

Harriet paced around the room as her mind was in distress with thoughts. Her lip quivered and stopped them by biting in them hard. As a little of the dark red blood came out Sonya entered the room glaring at her. "How could you!" Sonya said in hatred.

Her soft caramel eyes were now vivid with fury and hatred. Knowing if she said this would make this worse but Harriet proceeded. "Do what?" She bit her lip again so she would shut up but Sonya was now proceeding towards her.

"You disgust me! You, my sister, my blood, you agreed to get protectors for each of us!" Sonya spat at Harriet, her cheeks burning in red. "I had to little sister. I as a big sister know what's right for all of-"

But Harriet was it off when Sonya yelled in vivid anger "YOU ARE A DISGRACE! You know why? YOU OUT OF ALL PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THAT WE CAN TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES!!! And you agreed for stupid protectors, for what? So we can be treated like dogs with a leash?!"

Harriet knew that Sonya wouldn't like the idea of personal protectors, she knew she had to first discuss it with Sonya and Teresa. Ever since their parents died she felt the responsibility to look after them, but so far it was better for them to make their decisions instead of her doing it for them.

"When are these idiots arriving?" Sonya said venomously. "Some time today." Harriet answered. Both of the sisters just glared at each other. But outside the big brown wooden door stand Teresa.

As she just stood there hearing the whole conversation her heart broke. How could Harriet do this to them, to her. This wasn't the Harriet she grew up with. No.

The Harriet she has grown up with always asked for her and Sonya's opinion and always said "We're in this together."

But ever since their parents were murdered, Harriet drifted away from them. This killed Sonya but shattered Teresa. They were like a Golden Trio, but now they are a shattered Trio.

Teresa silently weeped and left just in time as the door bursted open and she heard Sonya scream "EVER SINCE MOM AND DAD DIED YOU LEFT US!" That made Harriet stop as she walked and look at Sonya. Her eyes filled with tears and her voice trembling as she said "I.. Sonya."
Sonya just bit her lip and left as her eyes were finally spilled with tears.
Teresa stood there looking at Harriet as she silently sobbed.

Teresa was about to talk to Harriet when a gaurs came in walking straight to Harriet.

"Your Highness, they have arrived."
Harriet immediately wiped her tears and stopped crying.
"Thank you sir, we'll be down there." Harriet said now standing tall and firm.
The guard nodded and left.

With that Harriet smoothed her dress and walked into the long narrow hallway leaving Teresa alone.

Several minutes later, Teresa was walking towards the gates. She hated the idea of having personal guards. She solemnly swore that she was going to behave a and not make the lives of the personal protectors complicated.
She remembered that night, that night that lead to this day. The day her parents were murdered. It was all her fault, all of it.

A hand finally seized her and she yelled.
"Teresa shut it! You're late!" Sonya hissed as Teresa as she pulled her.
Teresa looked at ground ashamed.
They came to a stop and then Sonya whispered "Sorry we're late young suitors, I'm Sonya and this is-"

Teresa still was staring the ground and bit her lip to stop from punching the boys in the guts.
"Teresa!" Sonya hissed. Teresa looked up and saw three teenage boys.
One with black and spiky hair while a blonde one who looked at her warmly. Then she turned and saw a boy with brown hair and he was giving her a weird look.

Well screw him, she thought.
"I'm Teresa." She said as she shakes their hands. But as she was about to greet and shake hands with the brown hair boy, they both glared at each other deadly. She crossed her arms and just glared at him.

"Okay well, for safety reasons, our protectors can't tell us their names so we call them with a nick name or something." Harriet said as she looked at her two sisters. Teresa kept on glaring on that one guy. He kept glaring at her. This was certainly, hate at first site.
