The Seven Deadly Sins: Faded Stars (girlxgirl)

Expect the Unexpected

Alex's POV:

Yesterday was quite a stressful day as Demetrius decided to be down my throat about Skylar.

Surely she didn't expect for me to agree to Skylar going to school, it was a preposterous idea. One she must get rid of.

However, something caught my attention yesterday.

As I was heading to my office to finalize some documents, I heard voices coming from Skylar's chamber.

One might call it eavesdropping but I prefer to call it.... getting information.

Hearing Skylar's speak like that to Taylor and Lucas about me got me thinking. I didn't listen to their conversation completely though since a maiden decided to talk to me about some issues in the palace. However, I wasn't paying much attention to her since I was in my whole world.

Sure Skylar isn't the same person but when she's 18 she will remember me and know exactly who I am to her.

As I was currently walking down the hallway, I was heading for Skylar's chamber. It was a new day, so I knew that Skylar would soon awaken to see the sun rise.

Since it was still early, the halls were empty so it made my trip quiet and calm. I didn't have to greet every maiden or servant that said hello to me.

As I approached Skylar's chamber, I only knocked one and enter, not waiting for permission.

As I walked into Skylar's room, I noticed that she was still asleep. I walked over to Sleeping Beauty and gently shook her shoulder.

Soon after, she slowly opened her eyes with a frown as she caught my eyes. Her expression was priceless since she looked like a lost puppy.

"Skylar." I simply said.

Sitting up straight, she bowed her head.

"My queen."

I soon found a smirk on my face. This was going to be good.

************************************

Skylar's POV:

I was awoken from my slumber and soon found the queen staring down at me.

I quick sat up and bowed my head after she called my name.

"My queen." I said still bowing.

"You may look up." Alexandra said.

"Alexandra if I may," I said as I was still searching for the right words.

How do I ask Alexandra why she's here without sounding rude.

"I can show you better than I can explain it." She said with a smirk.

"Alexandra did you just read my mind?" I asked.

"I could but when you speak with your mouth it's easier to hear you."

"What?" I asked not following her.

"You spoke out loud." She said chuckling as she turned around to head for my door.

"My queen." I said.

Looking over her shoulders she opened her mouth to speak.

"Follow me." She simply said.

Getting up from my bed I quickly followed her, however, I made sure to leave a bit of distances between us.

I had yet to know where we were going but the farther we went, the high up we got. Every staircase in the palace lead to another level and before I realized it, we were at the top of the palace. There were two stair case; one that led to the roof and one that led to a place similar to an attic since items were stored up there. We ended up going to the place that resembled an attic. I had yet to question why we were here but I didn't want to ask, fearing it might upset her.
