Princess on the Loose [Completed]

Chapter 13

CHAPTER 13

         It was late in the afternoon as I groggily trudged my way to the dining hall. I bet I looked like someone who just went from an apocalypse. I didn't feel good at all. Gavier was in my head all day making my headache worse. Good thing the classes weren't that hard and nobody really approached me not even a bitch, a jerk or just another fellow student. They could probably feel the bad vibes I was oozing off.

    I stopped my tracks, I could feel that someone was watching me. And sure there was, I mean, there were. At the corner of my eye, I saw eight men in black suits, and there was something different about them. Sure they guard this place but I've never seen them huddled together. They usually come by pairs, this time they were eight. Something was definitely wrong.

'You can't trust anyone', I remembered dad telling me. Shit, were these men going to kidnap me and threaten my dad? I was so full of thoughts of Gavier, I forgot that I still have other problems to think about especially the witch, Queen Elizabeth.

I turned to a corner. Where were the people when you need them? I quickened my pace and they also quickened theirs. I need to get to the dining hall fast.

"Wait!" Someone called and I ignored it. Shit!

They were catching up fast, I could feel the heat of their presence even when they were a few yards away. It was probably my adrenaline that made me feel so paranoid all of a sudden.

I was almost there, almost.

I felt a hand grab my shoulder, I immediately caught it and twisted it as I kneed the man's stomach. The man yowled as I pushed him away.

'Remember Clarissa, when you're in trouble make as much noise as you can', Dad told me once.

I screamed surprising them and they immediately lunged for me. I stepped aside, making some of them bump on each other but the rest weren't so easy. Two of them caught me by my arms. I stepped on one of their feet as I elbowed the other man's face. They growled and held my arms again. The other men rushed to me and tried to grab hold of my feet as I struggled and screamed.

"Help! Help! Let go off me you bastards!! Let go!!" I shrieked and viciously tried to get away from them but it was useless. They were too strong and too many.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked glaring at them. They pulled me and were quiet for awhile. "Where?!"

"I apologize Miss Valdez, but we received orders," one of them said.

"From who?" I might as well know who this person was so I could prepare myself. If it was Queen Elizabeth, then I guess it's time to know why she was so against me.

But it turned out they didn't need to tell me. I was pushed in a familiar room, one that I hated, especially the person who owned it.

"Get out," Gavier ordered the men like an alpha and they scurried away.

"What do you want?" I growled, glaring at him. When will he stop tormenting me? Hasn't he had enough?

He faced me, his eyes looking straight into my eyes. "Just one dinner with me."

"Do I even have a choice?" I asked. If I rejected his offer, I knew he would just drag me here anyway.

There was a twitch from his lips. "Nope."

I balled my fists. "Can't you just leave me alone?!"

"Nope," he said casually and beckoned me to come.

I wanted to scream, this jerk was really too much. He acts as if he owns the world.

"You're really conceited you know! You're such a jerk!" I remained in my position, too mad to move. What the hell does he want with me? He doesn't own me, and like hell he will!
