THE FOLLOWER

CHAPTER FIVE

Stephanie opened her eyes and found herself in Victor's chambers. The only light available was the one by the bedside. She saw him sitting at the window staring out. "Victor?" He turned and like a flash came to sit beside her.

"I thirst" he smiled and walked towards the door. "I'll be back with food." He disappeared and she clutched her blanket. She wasn't yet used to his appearing and disappearing powers.

She scanned the room, paying attention to the curtains and sheets. They had been changed. She had told him her favorite color was blue the last time she was here. He had changed everything from black to blue.

Smiling, she stood and walked towards the window. A black bird that was perched on a tree close the window suddenly flew past her and perched on another tree opposite her. It turned his gaze to her and she felt a cold chill run down her spine.

Victor's voice brought her back from the long stare. "What are you gazing at Princess?" He said tucking her hair behind her ear. She felt herself blush and turned to face him, a huge smile playing at the corner of his lips. She turned her attention from him back to the bird but it was no longer there. He shut the windows and pulled down the blinds.

A huge tray was on the bed with different dishes on it. She threw him a surprised look marveling at what was in front of her. He inclined his head towards the bed "My treat."

There was commotion in the hallway, maids and guards scrambling here and there. Stephanie asked a maid named Rose what the commotion was all about.

"The Royal family of Parad have come to dine with us my Princess" "What?! Is father aware of this?" Steph asked. "Yes my Princess, in fact he was informed two days ago" the maid replied her. "How come no one told me?" Stephanie frowned and dismissed the maid with a lazy hand.

She had to get out of the castle before they asked for her. Just as she was about running to her room, her Mother called her "Steph!"

She bit her lower lip 'dammit' she turned to face her mother then curtsied.
"Yes mother" "we are having a special dinner with your suitors. Your maids will help you get dressed. I have picked out a dress for you. Make sure to not keep them waiting" Stephanie sighed,knowing how much her father loved his reputation, she would face hell if she messed this up. "Yes mother" she curtsied once more before walking to her room with her maids trailing behind her.
