Elegantly Trapped

Fifteen.

Scarlett's POV
It was just dawn when Cole, Jefferson, Kennedy and I stayed at the platform ready for the train to arrive.

"They must really hate their school if they want to return at dawn"Jefferson says to me. Cole and I narrow our eyes at him "sorry"He says and steps a few inches away.

I hear the train pulling in, I knew my siblings were excited to come home for the wedding considering the letters the Dean has sent us with them dealing with things poorly. The train flys right by us making my dress move back and forth. It soon stops in front of us and the doors fly open, people tiredly climbing off the train.

Cole gently tugs on the hood of my black cloak to hide my face before he steps in front of me a bit. I reach to intertwine our hands together. I see the long tied back light brunette hair of my younger sister. She jumps off the train and holds the door open. She excitedly calls for the rest of our siblings to hurry up.

"Cole!" I hear Lucy yell. I chuckle as she comes running towards us. Autumn and Trevor trail behind her, Kennedy walks forward with a lantern in his hand and helps Trevor carry Lucy's bag.

"Hi!"Lucy exclaims as she hugs Cole before hugging me.

"Hi"I smile as I hug them and then my other siblings.

"Please tell me you have a carriage, I am exhausted" Autumn sighs.

"We have a carriage come on"Jefferson chuckles and wraps an arm around her.

"Well it truly is lovely to have tea with you Mrs Marshall" I smile over at Cole's mother.

"I do appreciate the invite and please call me Helen"she smiles at me. I smile back as I set my tea cup on the small plate in front of me. "And of course Katherine is always excited to come over and spend the day with your younger sister"

"Lucy is always raving about Katie and considers her her best friend"I chuckle a bit.

"Well Katherine is the very same"She smiles. "So how are the wedding preparations going?" She asks me as one of the servers place a platter of finger foods on the table.

"Merci"I smile up at the server, she bows her head before leaving us. "The preparations are going as smoothly as it can get. I mean it isn't helpful that I'm Queen"I joke. We share a small laugh. "I actually sent out invitations the other day" I tell her.

"Well we'll keep an eye out on our mail"She smiles as Lucy and Katie run by us on the horses. The two seemed to be playing tag, on the horses.

"do your siblings seem to like their new boarding school?" Helen asks.

I sigh a bit "considering the things Cole tells me I do believe they do not like it"

"They tell Cole things?" She asks. I nod.

"He says to me that if they still me all these horrible things about the boarding school that I will take them out"

"And they don't want that?" She asks. I shake my head.

"Unless they come to me that they want to leave they I can not do anything about it" I shrug sadly.

Cole's POV
"Where the hell is Kennedy?" General asks into the walkie.

"I have yet to see him"Someone says as I fill up a paint can with water.

"Saw him down the hill with Trevor I think"A new voice says as I walk out of the kitchen. Sometimes the radio talk was interesting at the least.

I walk into the garden den where Autumn was stationed and has been since this morning "I bring more water"I announce. Autumn looks back, her white and blue puffy dress swished around her.
