Royal Blood, Royals Bound

9. Just a dream

I wake up, jumping out of my bed startled. I try to catch my breathe remembering that today's the service for all the people that died fighting for our family. "Dad!" I remember my horrible dream. Wait its only a dream, which means that dad is actually alive! He's alive and well! I get up out the bed darting for the masterbed where dad lay asleep. He snored he had brutal war wounds but he was breathing!
"Father!" I yelled waking him up. He sits up startled. "What happend?!" he sat up breathing hard sweat entraced on his forhead and hairline. "Its me Evangeline calm down I just had a dream that you were gone." I confess hugging him. He sighed, it sounded of relief. "Well Im glad Im not dead." he smiled at me kissing me on my forhead. "Alright make me some breakfast Rose." he smiles at me and I tingle at his nickname for me. "I will get my own breakfast and you should too." I get up and head towards the door and for the kitchen my stomache grumbles. Taliyah live and well is making breakfast mum and the rest are not here yet but I know they're fine. "Taliyah we made it." I smile bright and she turns around facing me. "You said that yesterday when the war ended your relieved I know now go back to sleep so I can finish this food and itll be ready then. I nod and go back upstairs. Gosh I miss freely roaming the castle. First Ill visit the garden then the main library, pool, maze so much to do. Tonight Harry and I are supposed to meet again. Its like the fifth time we've met different location everytime and different secrets passed between us. Harry had tried to kiss me a few times but I pushed him off I didnt feel right doing it during the war but now its over so I hope I get comfortable enough for it to actually happen.... It makes me blush thinking of it. I really like him.
This time we'll meet at the mystic falls, it's said to have blessed two souls fallen in love. Wierd that he picked the location. Its not like were in love or anything even though I reeealy want to kiss him, so that I can experiance it and get it over with.
"The war didnt last as long as I'd thought but I didnt expect you to just spring out of bed so quickly already." John says at the bottom of the stairs giving me a plain smile. I didnt even notice that I made it to the steps already. Harry fills my mind way too much. "So, I always get up early except for yesterday because I finally got real sleep, not the small naps I took during that dreadful month." I shake my head thinking about all the horrid nightmares I had. "Im glad its finally over now I dont have to hear you crying in the middle of the night." he jokes. "Whatever." I head up the stairs pretending to not really comprehend what he just said. I go in my room preparing for my morning bath. It was time to explore and I dont want to start off dirty.
"Breakfast is ready." Taliyah peeked her head in the map room where I'd been hiding and studying each of the maps close to here trying to find Harry and I's new place to meet after tonight (one of my good star gazing spots this time). I nod still searching. I feel and hear her shut the door and I take off my glasses putting them in the drewer. I fold up the map and put it where I found it. Time for breakfast.
At the breakfast table we ate as a reunited family. "So..... father what does this mean for us?" John asks breaking the awkward vibed silence. "What do you mean John?" dad asked confused. I know exactly what he means. "Father he means did we win or lose and how will we be able to deal with the Styles now." I explain for John. He nods and I guess I got it right. "The war was a complete succes on our side so it just means that the Styles will continue to hate us and we'll do the same." father answers chirply and he digs right into his breakfast.
"Well Im glad we won but in the long run we probably wont want to be enemies with the Styles." Katrina says giving off a bad vibe. Is she trying to brodcast my secret or what!? I kick her under the table and she muffles a groan. She gives me the eye and continues to eat. Father looks at us and his face expression reads that he's utterly confused and needs an explanation. "Why do you say that Katrina?!" Father asks wiping the corners of his mouth. "Oh father it's not something to be heard but to be felt and seen. You will find out sooner or later." Katrina answers and excuses herself from the table.

"What do you think that means?" Harry askes me pasting around the rock he's been circling around for the past five minutes I've been explaining to him about the Katrina Breakfast situation. "I dont know, but I know for a fact Katrina wont give us away but she'll most likely make us give our selves away. "Betrice is closing in on me too. Soon we'll have to cut down how much times we see each other." Harry sighs finaly taking a seat on the rock. My face falls and he notices. "Come here." he directs his pointer finger at me. I hesitate before walking closer to him. I get an arm length close. "What?" I ask getting a little nervous.
