The Honor of My Family

Chapter 55

I'm now getting excited about this wedding. It was first for my family. But now I think I'm doing it for me. Because I'm falling in love for Darcy. I'm just not ready to tell him yet. But some day I will tell him.

I was having some time to myself. I was hiding away in the library. I thought I was alone. Everyone else was playing cards somewhere. But I then heard noise coming from the hallway.

I got up to see what was going on. I didn't see anyone out in the hallway. There were no servants nearby. I went looking down the hallway some more where I thought I heard the noise.

But I didn't see anything. So, I just headed back to the library. When I got back to the library something doesn't feel right. I walked over to the book I was reading. But there was something there on my book.

Sitting there was a flower and a note. I looked around to see who left this. I know Darcy was playing cards with the others. There was no one nearby. I pick up the note and read,

You will be mine. Don't worry it will all end soon.

I just froze for a bit. I looked around one more time. I then went to find a servant to see if anyone except me has been in the library the same time.

When I did they told me that I was the only one. No one has been down that hallway most of the day. I thanked them and went to find Darcy.

I came into the room everyone was playing cards. Everyone saw me come in My mother then said,

"You finally came to join us."

"No. I just need to talk to Darcy for a moment." I told them.

"I will be right back. Start without me." Darcy told them.

Darcy and I both left the room. We then got far enough away from everyone. Darcy then asked,

"What is wrong Elizabeth?"

"When I was in the library I heard a noise. So, I went to check it out. But everything seemed alright. When I went back to the library and to the book I was reading. I found this." I told him. I then headed him the flower and note.

"Someone left this on your book?" He asked me.

"Yes. But that's not that worries me. Read the note." I told him.

He then unfolded the paper and read the two sentences that kind of creepies me out. I didn't know who else to turn to for this. But him. He was going to be my husband soon and he needs to know all of this.

He just stood there looking at the piece of paper. He looked as worried as I did. He then refolded it back up and looked at me.

"If you don't mind. I would like to talk to Bingley and your father about this. So, we can figure this out. Of course, you join." He said.

"No. We can do that." I told him.

I know why he wants to do that. He wants to make sure we get to the bottom of this quickly. He is worried about it. I don't blame him.

We then headed back to everyone. I stayed out in the hallway. Darcy went back into the room to get Bingley and my father. We then all were going to talk.

*Darcy's POV*

I left Elizabeth right outside of the room for a moment. I thought it would be easier to get Bingley and her father if it was just me.

I went over to Bingley and whispered to him,

"Can I have a word with you in your study? It's important."

He looked at me with censured. But I know he understands. He gave me a small nodded and turned to the table.

"I must excuse myself. Play on with me." Bingley said.

I then did the same to Elizabeth's father. He wasn't playing cards. But just watching. So, he just got up and headed out the room.

When out in the hallway I went over to Elizabeth. We all headed to Bingley's study. I thought that would be more privet then any where in the house. We need to do something for the safety of Elizabeth.
