Chasing Snow- Chapter 7
Ivry
I ran up to my room, went straight to my closet and pulled out black jeans, a white t-shirt, a black scarf, a black heals, and a black beanie. Once I got dressed, I rushed to the bathroom and I put on eye liner. When I was done little Payton came running in wearing Toms white flats, black leggings, white skirt, black t-shirt, white scarf, and white beanie.
"Look mommy, I dress up like you," She said with a smile and I couldn't help but smile back.
"You look very pretty, baby girl," I said as she picked up her light pink lip gloss and put it on.
"Can you the bottom of my hair all curly?" She begged.
"Yes only just little, we don't want to damage that pretty hair of yours, now do we?" I asked her.
"Nope, just a little" she said with a smile.
I curled the bottom of her hair then put a little hair spray in it to make it hold longer and it would make the little princesses happy. She smiled and ran over to Demetrius with a big smile on her face. Demetrius kissed her forehead and let her down so she could run in her room and play until it was time to leave.
Demetrius walked over to me and said, "I love you. Please know that."
"Of course, and I love you too," I said, leaning in for a kiss. Our kissing, as usual, turned into a make out session until Payton came in and did her usual 'Ew, get a room'. She learned that from Adam and Justin, and I shook my head at the young werewolves.
"We should get going," He said.
We got into the car and drove to the castle through the calm woods that always smelled of earth and pine. It was calm, but they always say it is the calm before the storm. After arriving at the castle, we came into the main room where the elders were sitting in their chairs including my grandmother. We bowed along with Payton who bowed because Stella probably told her too.
"Rise," My grandmother said and we followed our instructions. "Tonight we offer and celebrate Demetrius becoming head elder alongside me. Through this there will be more balance between the werewolves and vampires." I was shocked to hear this. Had Demetrius known about this? I understood why he was offered the position. He had a power that many vampires deemed as holy and he was naturally strong, smart, and a good leader. "Demetrius, do you accept?" My grandmother asked him
"I do," He said sternly.
"Excellent," She responded with a smile. "A feast will be held in dining the room, it should be ready." We waited for the elders to leave the room first then we followed.
"You knew about this didn't you?" I asked Demetrius.
"Yes, and I have some patrolling tonight," He said quickly as we went to the dining room.
We sat in three empty chairs and I took a small sip of my red wine that they had mixed with blood. Payton took a sip of her "fruit punch" which was just water and blood mixed together.
"Mommy, I need to go to the bathroom," Payton said as she squirmed.
"Okay, sweetie, come one." I took her hand and walked her to the bathroom. On the way there we passed Adam and Just and Payton pounced on them.
"Payton, we will play with you later. We have something to do okay princesses," Adam said and Payton nodded then ran into the bathroom.
When she was done we skipped back to the dining room and continued with the dinner. The meal was great and Payton actually didn't make a complete mess with her meal, but by the end she was extremely tired. I felt weird though. I felt... loopy. The feast was over and people left the room and Adam took Payton to bed in her room that we have saved here.
"Demetrius" I whispered with a giggle.
"Yes, darling," He said and I felt weak in the knees, before I could fall Demetrius caught me.
"I'm tired," I said with a yawn and a giggle.
"I see we should get you too bed, my queen" He said with a saddened look in his eyes.
He carried me bridle style while I traced my finger along his chest burying my face in his neck. We got to our room and he placed me on the bed and I dragged him down with me. I was easily able to turn one kiss into a make out session. I giggled, yet continued to kiss him. Suddenly I felt extremely tired and all I wanted to do was lay down and rest. "We should..." I yawned interrupting myself. "Get some sleep." I mumbled and collapsed against the soft pillows drifting off to sleep.
