Seek And Destroy [COMPLETED]

Chapter 20 : ''Shhhh. Don't Say A Thing.''

Dinner was fantastic!

I had explored my huge closet and had worn a simple peach gown (peach seemed to be the main color other than white here with the occasional gold) and white wedges. I put my hair in a messy bun and head out my door.

Only to realize how lost I was.

'Elena?', I turn and see Oliver rushing to me,'Do you know where the dinner hall is? This place is as twice as big as my place and even I don't know my whole place. I'm totally lost'

'No idea Oliver', I reply.

'You look nice', he eyed me,'just peachy'

'Nice joke', I chuckled,'Real funny'

He grinned and we started exploring together till we bumped into Florénce.

'Silly me! I should have provided you with a permanent escort!', he shrieked,'Silly me silly me. I deeply apologize mademoiselle'

'That's alright Florénce. Just lead us to the dinner hall and we'll be fine', I tell him. The thought of a permanent guard looming over me was just scary. Seriously, I've watched princess movies. No one likes the guards.

Except for queen Clarissa in the princess diaries but oh well!

He led us through twisting corridors and narrow stairways to a diner hall.

'I should have taken you in another route but this one was faster. One of the secret routes', Florénce added sheepishly.

'Secret routes? We have those?', I ask.

'Yes of course! Now go eat mademoiselle!', he shrieked and pushed us through the golden doors.

'He certainly shrieks a lot ', Oliver told me. He eyed the room,'looks like we're early'

'No. You're just on time', Edward chimes in behind us; Raina clutching his hand like a purse. She of course, was dressed extravagantly in nothing.

I mean a dress.

A short short short short black leather dress. Bare back. Cleavage widely shown. Butt shown. Lots of lots of make up. And of course, the devil never forgets her red stilettos.

They always said that the devil wears designer clothes.

'But my grandad still didn't arrive...', I bit my lip. I looked around, as if expecting to see him appear through thin air.

'He'll come', Edward reassured me.

'Let's all take a seat', Oliver suggested.

'Oh yeah. My legs are hurting', Raina whined, rolling her eyes and if possibly, clutching Edward's hand tighter. He seemed to have noticed and looked at her with wide disbelieving eyes.

'You shouldn't have worn high heels then', I thought.

'I'm sorry, what did you say', Raina asked me; her eyes as dark as the rough sea.

Oh shit. I said that out loud.

'Nothing', I mutter and sit beside Oliver. Edward looked at Raina and shrugged and sat next to me. The only place she had to sit was on the other side or next to Oliver.

We of course left the head table for his majesty, my grandfather.

'Hey guys!', Derick called out as he entered the room.

Raina had sat next to Oliver and looked at her brother with no affection.

Derick not caring about seats just went and sat on the empty side. I like that about him. He didn't think too much like everyone else. He just goes with the flow in other words.
