The noble one

Chapter one

Two weeks later

I sat in front of my mirror tired, bored, alone.

I was waiting for Marcel to get here. I wanted to tell someone what had happened and he seemed reliable. He said he was on his way about 5 minutes ago.

I looked at myself in the mirror, I looked restless my eyes had dark rings around them and yet my face still looked "tan" or "glowing" I guess.

How did this happen? I had never noticed how ugly I was until after it happened then I saw how revolting I truly am. My chin was to flat and my eyebrows sat so close together. Why did I have to look so sickening

"Karin", I turned around to see Marcel he stare at my shoulders. I wore a tank top and shorts revealing my bruises. I was about to put my concealer on but I broke down and called Marcel.

His eyes met my puffy ones.

"What happened", he asked before looking down at the hand prints on my legs they rounded the top and center of my thighs.

"Hi, Marcel", I said under my breath scared that he would tell Elijah.

"Who did this", he asked clearly able to tell something was wrong, but from the look on his face he didn't know what.

"I don't know", I looked down at my hands.

"Was it Elijah", he asked clearly upset.

"I don't know who it was Marcel", I said lowly, tears streaming down my face as my breath hitched

"What do you mean you don't know-", he suddenly stopped as I looked up.

"What happened", he said slightly deeper.

"I didn't want to", I cried out.

He ran a hand over his mustache.

"Did someone compel you", he asked me

"No. He was human and he,fuck Marcel," I ran a hand through my hair, "I didn't want to and now I'm scared that Elijah will think I cheated or be mad and you know Nick and his family and I'm so so scared because you guys are all I have", I rambled to him still crying heavily.

"Don't say that they would never do that", he tried to sooth me. He walked over to me and tried to hug me but I pulled away.

"Elijah hugged me yesterday and I-I don't know I just went back to that man on top of
me and, I c-can't deal with this alone Marcel"

"You won't okay you won't I promise, but I will ask you something before we get through this okay", he said crouching infront of me "Is there anyone else you want to tell?".

"Not yet please don't make me talk about it"

"I won't", he said calmly.

And for the first time in what seemed like forever I had someone to talk to.

^+^+^^+^+*

After Marcel had left I applied my concealer and put on a pair of ripped black jeans and a hoodie.

I exited my room immediately making my way to the Abattoir instantly ran up the stairs to Elijahs room.

Once I'd entered the room, I had found that he wasn't in there a pout made it's way to my face .

I walked over to the bed ready to drop onto it but instead I was met with a large yellow dress it looked quite similar to Aurora's from Sleeping Beauty.

I eyed it noticing that it had a portrait neck and silk it was beautiful and was covered is sparkles.

There was a note next to it that read:
