The Sacrifice

CHAPTER ELEVEN

Stepping off the last step of the plane, I wrap my arm around Anya shoulders. "Are you ready to speak?" I ask Anya. "I am. I was preparing myself the whole plane ride," she says. I nod. I understood. She was going to have to speak about our own uncle having her tortured. I can't believe they haven't found the dark magic user. "What about you Sophie? You aren't going to punch uncle when you see him. Right?" she asks. Does she actually think I'd do that? Actually she should, because I don't know for sure if I would, but it's something I can see myself doing. "Don't worry Anya. I'll do my best to control the fire," I promise. She nods, smiling, and brings me into a hug. I hug her back and she runs to the limo and dad. " where's Carson? " I look at Adrian, " somewhere " I say and walk to the limo. Getting in I sit beside beside Anya so Adrian can't talk to me. Or he'll say it in front if dad and Anya do my plans ruined. Or should I tell dad? He wants me to be more open...but I don't want him worrying about me. An he'd probably freak at the fact that I had Maddie, Tasha and Emily involved. Plus Carson being here...maybe it's bests not to tell him till after everything. " So Abe. I was wondering if I could take Sophie on a private tour while you and Anya are with my father talking about the trial. " Adrian says, I look at him eyes wide. He does a little smirk clearly holding back his giant grin. I glare at him. " That would be wonderful. " dad! " but.." I say, " Adrian right. You aren't speaking during the trial and neither is Adrian. It's just people there, and Anya. You aren't recorded of being there. Sure the court knows but the media doesn't. We have to keep it secret. So Adrian and you will go around the palace. Adrian you may give her that your " dad says. Adrian smirks at me. I glare at him, that if my eyes were lasers he would be nothing but dust. " Were here your majesty. " dad hands me a wig. It's a red head wig, short about down to my neck and has bangs. He gives me glasses and him and Anya step out. " if you- " I start to tell Adrian but he cuts me off by placing his finger on my lips. " shh" he shushes then gets out of the limo. I step out and follow them up to the hotel ignoring all the cameras. Adrian house was huge! No wonder this was the second most powerful family in Grenada. And why Britney all them were wanting me and Adrian to get to together my freshman year. If a Volkov and Aminev got together or married it would probably be a very big thing in history. Too bad that's not happening in my life time. I enter the mansion and it was also beautiful. It was a vampire mansion though so it was old style. But it was a magnificent old style. Black, red, Gold and silver. I follow them to the main hall to see all the royals and there kids with them. Britney, and Tiffany with there parents. Anya runs to Tiffany. Carson! I slowly walk back out of the main hall and once I'm far enough away I go to run but hit the wall. I groan as I rub my head. " Careful princess " it wasn't a wall. It was Adrian chest. " how- why..how..but your supposed to be- " " not now princess. First you answer my question. " Adrian says, taking a step towards me. I take a step back. " Where were you going " he asks moving towards me like a predator hunting it's pray, and I'm the sweet little rabbit. " What do you mean " I ask still walking backwards, till my back hit the wall. " why did you leave the great hall. May I remind you all my guards wouldn't let you leave the castle grounds without me, and you'd have to have Uriel no matter what " Adrian says, still walking towards me. The fact was his stride was big and he didn't have to have a facial expression on his face to know that he could easily get me caught. I try to go down the walk but Adrian finally got to me and put one hand so it was behind my head, then the other on the other side. " Where were you going " he asks, his face was so close. " Where you going princess " he whispers in my ear, " don't. call. me. that " I say, and push him away. He looks shocked for a moment before smirking. Before I could blink he was behind me, his hands on my waist him holding me. " where were you going " he asks, " no where " I tell him struggling to get out of his grasp but he wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me into him strongly. His other arm went to my arm and held it tightly. " where were you going? " he asks his voice ruff, and clearly he was loosing his patience. Well so was I. I guess I'm gonna have so fun now. I can't believe I'm gonna do this! I wrap my arm around his head and pull it closer to my neck and lean back on his shoulder. His grip loosened for a sec and I used it. I flipped over his shoulder and grabbed his arm. I twisted it behind his back ad pushed him into the wall. Hard. As he fell to the ground I ran. I had to get Carson out of that truck before it drove away. I run outside and towards the truck driver. " sir " I say, he looks at me. " I think her majesty princess Anya left something in there " I say, he looks at his cargo and nods opening it for me. I jump in and look around. " psst " I look to the noise and see Carson on the ground behind a couple barrels. " hey sir. Could you go get me my bag for a second " I say, the driver goes to my bag. " go " Carson jumps up and runs quickly to the door and hides inside. The driver comes over and gives me my bag. " thanks. It seems her majesty Glove isn't here. Well thank you kind sir " I curtsy and walk to the main door. " So this is why " I hear Adrian voice, I turn to see him holding Carson by the collar, Carson against the wall. " sorry Sophia " Carson says. Oh come on!
