The chosen few

2: How interesting

"Anastasia!" Me and Sebastian immediately broke apart at the sound of my father's booming shout, looking up to see both our parents staring down at us. While my Mother and his Mother looked like kids in a candy shop, our fathers seethed in rage next to the looking they wanted to kill Sebastian...but not you strangely.

"Sebastian! How dare you violate and force Princess Anastasia in kissing you?" Sebastian's father booms, grabbing his sons ear and pulling him off me and to his feet, after this happened I immediately got up and smoothed out my gown. "You must apologise to the king immediately for violating his daughter that way!"

Sebastian took a deep breath and bowed to my father "Your majesty, I am- "

"Sebastian, stop! It was both of us who voluntarily participated in that moment of the sofa seat. We should both take responsibility." I turned to Sebastian's father and curtsied, "Lord Michaelson, I deeply apologise from the bottom of my heart for doing that with your son."

"Your majesty I am so sorry for doing that with your daughter." Sebastian bowed to my father and looked at me.

"Oh I nearly forgot, Mother I haven't finished my tour yet. May we continue?" I looked at my mother sweetly knowing she would let us go in a heartbeat.

"Why, of course darling! Make sure to show Sebastian all the books in your room. Don't miss a single one out." Mother looked at Lady Michaelson who turned towards us first then to my Mother before both burst into giggles and started gossiping rapidly to each other, probably about us.

"Now I don't thin-" My father started before looking over at my Mother and Lady Michaelson who made quite threatening gestures towards his you-know-what.

Lord Michaelson gulped dramatically at the look his wife was giving him and quickly squeaked, "Yes you two should look at more books." Before quieting down and looking to the floor, afraid to make eye contact with his wife.

Me and Sebastian looked at each other before I grabbed his hand and dragged him off through the east entrance, the closest to my room's.

"Well that was awkward." Sebastian said after we were far enough from the library. I looked at Sebastian, who was smirking down at me.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, come on I want to read a book." I dragged him again but the end destination was my room this time.

"Wow, nice room." Sebastian said as we entered my room. Then he saw all the books...

"Marcelene. How many books do you actually have in this castle?" I looked down sheepishly to the floor afraid to tell him the truth.

"Enough." I simply said and walked off to pick up the book I was reading this morning.

"How many is enough Ana?" Sebastian said as he picked up a book sat on one of my reading chairs.

"Ugh do I have to count again?" I said before sitting down next to him.

"Hey, this is my seat!" Sebastian jokingly laughed as I opened my book and leant against him. I laughed along with him and settled myself against him as he lifted his arm and rested it on my shoulder.

The shuffling of paper pages filled the air as I read about the mysterious chosen taking people for their own. I heard a strange noise coming from my left and turned to see Sebastian with his head lolling forwards and his book falling from his hand. I softened at the sight of his Black hair flopping gently on his forehead with every breath he took. I took his book from his hand and closed both mine and his before shifting slightly and laying my head on his shoulder and closing my eyes as the feel of his head resting on mine and his soft breath on my hair drifted me to sleep too.
