I adjusted the tie on my suit for almost the tenth time in the past ten minutes as I stood in front of the mirror. I was in hell for the past hour getting ready and if I was correct, the party would be starting in two minutes. Of course, I'd show up a bit later for the plan, but I was thinking about Queen and Sebastian.
I trusted her around him, but I didn't trust him at all. Especially after he gave her that fucking bracelet.
Lucifer walked into the room and handed me a black mask. "I'm not wearing this shit," I said as I dangled it on my fingers.
"It's a masquerade ball," he said dryly.
"Oh well," I muttered. I turned to look at him and saw him dressed in an expensive navy blue suit and raised my brow in question. "I didn't know you were going."
"I wasn't planning to but your mother is upset at me," he said in a frustrated tone as he placed a mask over his face.
"You look stupid," I pointed out.
He moved next to me to look in the mirror and shrugged. "I don't want people knowing I'm there."
"And a mask is going to conceal your identity," I said sarcastically.
"Of course," he said. "Anyway, create the portal. The party has started by now." Per his instructions, I went to a wall and created a portal to the inside of my room. We walked in quickly and the music from the ball was loud enough that the walls in my room vibrated to the beat. "Are you going down there right now?" He asked.
"No, I'm going to go check on James and I'll be down later." My father put his hands in his pocket and nodded and he remained in his spot awkwardly. "What?"
"Can I come with you?"
"Why?"
"No reason in particular," he shrugged. It was pretty clear he wanted to see James. I never asked him how babysitting went, but he never offered any info on it. His sudden desire to see him made me question it though.
"Okay," I said slowly as I walked to the door.
We walked in silence for a few moments until I reached James's room. I knocked a few times but when he didn't answer I opened the door to find the room empty.
What the hell?
I noticed a servant walking past us with a tray of drinks and I stopped him. "Where is James?"
He looked nervously between my father and me. "I-...I don't know, sir."
"How the fuck do you not know?" I hissed as he flinched. I walked away from him and stormed through the halls looking for him. I walked down to the area where the ball was being held and pushed through the large crowd until I made it to where Ethan's mother was. "Where is James?"
She stopped her conversation with the woman next to her and looked up at me as her smile faltered. "He's with Ethan."
