Grandmia's Perfect Russian Princess

Chapter 13: Immortals Death

Kellan

1 hour after the ball

"She is such a little drama queen! She gets everything she wants, she's got everything I deserve. The looks, the money and a doting fiancé! She doesn't even deserve it, she is such a stuck up snob!"

"For God's sake Sasha, SHUT UP!" Jen shouts at the amused Sasha.

"She's got you hooked round her manicured little finger too, huh?" Sasha looks at me and smirks, her pink lips tilting upwards.

"1-she doesn't like manicures and 2-get lost." Is all I say to her, I look down at Annae's unconscious form and frown. She looks peaceful and almost childlike, she has been out for almost an hour now and Grandmia was starting to get restless.

The ball ended a bit early, but that was only because Annae blacked out and Jack had gone missing, he had been found in the end. He was wandering the halls of the mansion, just walking around like some drunken idiot. Well he was drunk, had too much champagne he says, the Mont 1803 was his favourite. Very expensive champagne and when Grandmia found he had drunk 3 bottles of the stuff, she went ballistic.

Annae moves slightly and wakes up, just as the door slams open and her friends rush in. Kelsey's shoe snags the bottom of the dress and it rips up the side just to her knee. She grabs the bottom of the emerald dress and rips all of the bottom half of the skirt. "Never liked this dress." She mumbles under her breath.

Charley and Eva laugh and then look at Annae with concern clouding their eyes, they really did care about her. "We saw some red-headed chick storm off down the corridor, what was her problem?" Eva points out the door and rolls her eyes.

"Jealousy," Jen leans against the wall and smiles.

Sasha couldn't get over the fact that I had no desire to date her, she was a mean cow and she has always been jealous of Annae. Sasha wanted everything Annae had and tried to copy whatever Annae did. She dated Annae's ex-boyfriends, ate what Annae did and went where Annae went. She even went as far as to steal clothes from her wardrobe and claim they were hers. As if she could afford them, Sasha's dad was a gambler and had wasted all their families money on games of chance and cards. Her mum left her when she was a kid and Grandmia took her in and gave her a title and some money. It wasn't much, but at least it was something.

Annae looks up at me and smiles tentatively, Jen puts her hand on her forehead and shakes her own head stiffly. "You've got a fever, your burning up." She says to Annae, patting her cheek. Annae bats her hand away and laughs.

"Thanks mum," she says sarcastically.

"You're welcome, sweetie."

Annae/Hannah

I never get ill, okay the occasional cold and tonsillitis, but nothing really serious. How could I have a fever? Urgh, my head hurt bad. I lay back down on the spare bed in the Capricorn suite and close my eyes, urgh I was still in the stupid corset and dress. Charley looks at the expression on my face and grins, producing a pair of jeans and a grey t-shirt from behind her back. How I loved my friends. She passes them to me.

"Thank you," I say and smile up at her. Then I send a pointed look at Kellan and he quickly leaves the room for me to get dressed. Everyone else follows close behind him, Jen sending me a look on the way out.

A couple of minutes later and I lay back down on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. A knock sounds from the door and I shout for them to come in. Cameron pokes his head around the door and smiles, stepping into the room and sitting on the edge of the bed. "Hey," he murmurs.
