Forced Love

Chapter 15 Mom

I woke up and got dressed, it was like 6 in the morning. I changed into my other attires and went downstairs quietly. I was about to get something from the fridge like an apple until dad stopped me.

"Katie, where were you yesterday?" he asked me.

"At school." I said.

"On a Sunday?" he asked.

"I was helping with the dance preperations." I said.

"Katie, your mother didn't mean to-"

She's not my mother." I said fiercly.

"Of course she's your mother." he said.

"No, she has never been my mother nor will she ever be my mother." I said.

"Katie, what's gotten into you?" he asked.

"I first get into an engagement with people I don't know, mom has always hated me and you're just now asking what's wrong with me?" I asked hysterically.

"She is your mother." he said.

"No she isn't, don't lie to me dad, I know she's not my mother." I said softly. His eyes had widened, "What do you mean?" he asked.

"I've always know." I said, and with that I left him hanging, I came outside and three men were there.

"Are you miss Katie?" the one with the really curly hair said.

"Who wants to know?" I asked.

"We're your butlers, your grandfather hired us." The tall one said.

"Yeah, we're supposed to be serving your every needs." a blonde one said.

"Why do I need butlers?" I asked.

"I'm supposed to help you in your everyday need." the curly one said.

"I'm your body guard." The tall one grunted.

"And I'm just back up." the blonde one said. "We're here to help and protect you from harm, miss future heir." There was no point in stalling, "Who's driving?" I asked. The tall one directed us to the car that was just there and I got in the back.

"By the way, I'm Moose." the curly one said sitting next to me.

"Mace." the blonde one said sitting next to the driver's seat. The tall one got in and started driving. "That's Luke, he doesn't talk much." Moose said.

"Okay, so are you guys like my minions or something?" I asked.

"Yeah, your grandfather has ordered us to keep an eye on you. We are happy to serve your grandfather." Moose said happily.

"We'll be picking you up and driving you home from now on." Mace said. Luke just kept his eye on the wheel and once we came by the school I quickly got out of the car and Moose waved bye at me. I just went inside and Charlie was there waiting for me.

"You're here early." she said walking with me. I just nodded and we went to the Guardian's house. The roses were losing there deep shade of color and the tree leaves were falling. We came to the table and everyone was there discussing urgently. I put my bag down on the table and looked at everyone a bit confused.

"What's going on?"

"Something urgent is probably about to happen." Charlie said.

"All the decorations are messed up, we can't do anything anymore." Klaude said.

"We only have 3 days left for all of this King." Andrew said.

"It's not enough time, there's nothing we can do." John said.

"I don't understand how this could have happened." Alex said grasping his hair in exasperation. "What happened?" I whispered to John.

"All the decorations we made and put up are ruined." Klaude said.

"Someone is trying to piss us off and I think I know who it is." Charlie said angrily.

"We can't jump to any conclusions, we have no proof the Alice Court did it."

"There the only ones who would do it." Charlie said hysterically.

"We don't have time to find evidence, we need to worry about the dance." Alex said. We suddenly started running towards the auditorium where it was supposed to take place. The steamers were torn and blackened with paint, the table cloths were ripped up. It wasn't a pretty sight, and I was shaking a bit. My hands tightened and formed a fist shaking, I tried to think of everything we could do that would fit with an October theme.

"We can't do it, I guess we're just going to have to cancel it." Klaude said. I tightened my eyes and tried to think of something. I looked at the table and the table cloth was scratched, almost as if it was scratched by something. Then I had an idea, it was the end of October, I turned to everyone and had a mischevious smile.

"Just change the theme, I have an idea." I said. They all looked pretty schocked and I stiffled a laugh.

"What do you mean change the theme?" Alex asked.

"The person who did all of this just gave me a great idea, instead of a formal let's do a costume dance."

"What?" Charlie asked.

"The table cloth is scratched but if we look at it in a Halloween way, it looks like it was scratched by a werewolf."

"Are you saying to change it from a formal to a costume party?" Klaude asked.

"That's exactly what she's saying." Andrew said putting his arm over my shoulder.

"You guys go ahead, leave the artists here." John said ruffling my hair.

"I'll stay." Nick quietly said. They all nodded so Klaude, Charlie and Alex went running to change the plan quickly.

"So, what are we going to do, Ace?" John asked ruffling my hair.

"Don't do that and all we have to do is rearrange everything in a ghastly manner." I said as I was rearranging the streamers. They started doing the same, we quickly tried to rearrange the streamers and looked at it.

"I think it's creepy enough." John said.

"What I'm wondering is how did they get in here, didn't we lock it?" Andrew suddenly said. I kind of agreed, I wanted to know who did this too.

"I know." Nick suddenly said, we all turned to him and he had a ghastly expression on him. "What?" I asked.

"That girl." he said.

"You mean the one from yesterday?" Andrew asked. Nick nodded and we all groaned. "We should have known. Of course a spy would do it, damn." John had said.

"I came back in here to get my phone and she ruined everything before I could stop her. Then she took off and I reported it to King at once. I'm sorry." he bowed down at us, I put my hand behind my hair and kind of scratched it and sighed.

"Well, we should thank her for that." I said.

"What?" they all turned to me. "Well, look at it this way, if it weren't for her, the stadium wouldn't be like this and the theme is much better if you ask me." I said. They just stared at me and then stared at the place and they all nodded. "Yeah, I guess but who was that girl?"

"That girl was Katrina Karamkoff." someone said behind us. We all turned surprised to see who was there.
