Elena (On Hold)

Feast

Elena played with her food not knowing what was going on. All she knew was that the atmosphere was very awkward. King Victor sat at the head of the table with herself on his right side. Katie sat on his left glaring angrily at both Elena and the king. “So what is the reason for having this feast?” asked Elena casually. Katie looked at the king with her eyebrows raised.

“Well,” said the king clearing his throat. “ We are having this feast because we have guests and we are also celebrating our marriage…” his voice faded as he saw the murderous glares thrown at him. He was shocked when Elena put her hand over his and gripped it. “Thank you…” he mouthed.

Elena smiled and stroked his hand in a comforting way. He looked around as everyone at the table was quiet and watching both him and Elena.

Elena giggled and blushed and said to him, "Why don't we take a walk?" 

King Victor looked at her his eyes wide. "I- yeah sure," he replied not really sure what to say. Elena stood and held out her hand for him to take laughing at him as he blushed bright red. 

"What are you afraid to hold my hand?" she ashed her purple eyes filled with laughter and mirth. He took her hand and gripped it tightly hoping that this wasn't  a dream. Elena walked him out to the garden her head resting on her shoulder the golden chains on her dress clinking softly. Victor jumped as he heard Elena whisper softly. "I hope you know that I despise you for what you have done but I do not want a bad relationship with my husband. For the next week or two I wish that we will get to know each other. Do you think that would be possible?" She asked her voice hard but pleading.

King Victor sighed and looked at the moon. "I am truly sorry for what I did to you... Phillip told me that you had a mission that you must complete. Could you tell me what it is you must do?" he asked reaching out to put a stray lock of hair behind Elena's ear.

Elena leaned into the touch and looked deeply into Victors eyes. "Maybe another time...." she murmured rubbing her head against his hand.

"Why?" The king whispered as he continued to caress her cheek.

"I took an oath before leaving Zandeth.... An oath that swore me not to tell anyone until my mission is completed." she said sadly. 

King Victor pulled her into a hug and she hugged back..... 

It's amazing what a hug can do.....

Especially when it brings people closer together.....
