Rebel

chapter fourteen

***Caroline's Point of View***

He knows? He knows? Wait a second he knows!! I would bet on anything that he has known the entire time!! All those times he forced me to do things just for his amusement; he knew that it was probably killing me not to snap. That jerk! That stupid, annoying, arrogant, bully, narcissistic vampire!! Ugh!! I can't even wrap my head around how angry I am right now. I am pretty sure if smoke could be coming out of my ears right now it would be. I grab the closest thing to me and chuck it against the wall. Turned out to be a vase and it shattered making a mess. He even knew about Elizabeth and me swapping notes. He wouldn't have told me I could trust her unless he knew I knew her. What else does he know? Does he freaking know how many times I use the bathroom?! Stupid vampire!

Ok Caroline, pull it together. He obviously has not told his father that I am not under the sire bond. If he had I highly doubt the Xavier would leave me here with no guards. I could easily escape. Escape. I could leave here and go home! Home! I ran over to the door and wrenched it open to find a maid about to knock on the door. "Hello, Caroline. I'm Elizabeth."

***William's Point of View***

My niece's ball could not have come at a better time. This will give Caroline a chance to investigate the room that she saw with the wood chipper in it. It is important the Caroline learns what is in that room and why we have it. That is where Elizabeth comes in the picture. I had informed her that I would be gone for a week after our secret date last night. I explained her job to her in detail. She was actually very frustrated that I kept repeating myself. She is adorable when she gets frustrated. Her eyebrows scrunch together and she pouts her lips in the most seductive way I have ever seen. The amazing thing is she has no idea how beautiful she is.

She will go to Caroline as soon as our group leaves the palace grounds. I have given her the book of our history and she is to explain everything to Caroline. She is then to go with Caroline to the room. If by some odd chance that the guards are prowling the hall I informed everyone that Caroline has permission to explore the palace as long as she has a maid with her, Elizabeth, to keep her from places she shouldn't see. They are all under the impression that I ordered Caroline to listen to Elizabeth and do as she says. If everything goes according to plan by the time that we are on our way back Caroline will have everything she needs to win this rebellion. When I return I will give her enough vampire blood to arm all the stakes she will have. After she has all her supplies I will give her what she has wanted since she has been here. Her freedom.

***Daniel's Point of View***

I have never seen my dad this confident before. It's like he is not worried at all. "Dad how can you not be worried about this outcome. Yeah we have some good numbers, but these are vampires. They won't go down easy. People are going to die. Our people are going to die" I finish boarding into sounding dramatic. My dad sighs and rubs his hand over his face while putting his other hand on my shoulder. "Daniel, this fight is not going to be easy. Believe me I know that. I may seem like I don't have a care in the world right now, but that's what a good leader does." He walks over to the door way of our planning tent and points out to the field where are fighters are training. They are partnered one male with one female. "These people, our people, are watching how we handle this. They are watching to see our reaction. If we panic or if we give up hope why would they even bother fighting? Yes, our people are going to die. Yes, it might be a lot, but our people are tired of living like this. Even if we don't win we still fought. We fought for our freedom. Your sister is currently in the castle being forced to marry the prince of the vampires. My ba-by" his voice cracks on the word baby "Is having Good knows what done to her right now and we can't do anything about that right now. Do you know why she went back to castle?" He asked me. "Allison." I answer automatically. "She knew William would have killed her if she didn't go back." I finish confident that that was the reason.
